Guns from downunder

My latest builds

I have not played airsoft for over a year but are still keen on designing and building airsoft guns.

Mosin Nagant, Real rifle brought on behalf of Snax by a local gunsmith, who removed the Action and bored out the barrel.
Snax and I were able to shoot this rifle before it was converted.
Original rifle was made in 1939 so may have seen action in WW2
It was Converted to airsoft by replacing the action with a KJW m700 action, hopup and inner barrel, alot of dremelling of the wood.
The rifle has the KJW M700 10 round magazine permanently mounted in the stock and is loaded and gassed from the top.

Performance is similar to the original M700 and appears to have made a name for itself as a sniper rifle at TAG.

Lee Enfield 303 No1 Mk3. this gun was built the same way as the Mosin, part way through Gary ( the gunsmith ) thought we should use as much of the real gun as was legally possible.
It took several months of searching to get the real parts, The wood and metal fitting came from Ebay, Gary provided the action which he lathed out to fit the M700 bolt and the magazine shell came from Trademe.
The inside of the action was dremelled, ground and filed out to fit the Magazine and trigger of the M700 in.
As with the Mosin Nagant the gas magazine is non removable and is loaded with a modified speed loader, I am looking at making 10 round clips to load the gun in a more realistic way.

Performance, It took alot of work and frustration to line every thing up.
It is now firing well but appears to have less power than the oridginal M700, this is not a problem as I am wanting to use it as standard rifle not a a sniper
This was a difficult build and I may have been better making the same way as the Mosin.

All through this project I checked with the Police arms officers in Christchurch to make sure that what I was doing is legal, they were really helpful.

MP3008. This is a custom built all steel german version of the sten gun.
The gun uses AGM MP40 internals and magazine and is designed to take a standard 8.4v battery, but has room for a custom 9.6v ( see mockup battery in the Photo).
The bolt slides back so the hopup can be adjusted.
The MP40 gearbox is slightly modified to make it fit.
The gun need a light sand and a final coat of paint.

Performance, Should be the same as the mp40, but not tested.
The gearbox, hopup and barrel are my test ones, that I used to design my guns, so are not in the best of conditiion

I have plans drawn to make a Sten mk2 using most of the parts from the MP3008.

I would like to thank,
Stof from the WW2 Airsoft UK forums who made a Lee Enfield using the M700 Gary from Talon Arms who help and encouraged me with all 3 projects.

Much of the knowledge used on the MP3008 came from things learned making the Owen Gun and other projects with Blade Runner from TAG.
