Thanks for the compliments. This rifle represents the pinicle of my Springfield rifle development.......well almost.
The V5 Springfields in 2011 will not only feature full wood and metal parts but also fully replicated metal recivers built to look identicle to the reall Springfield reciver.

Thats a reall WW2 M1903A4 stock, hand guard, and stock bands plus bayonet lug/ band and rear bolt assembly. The reciver is a modified BAR-10 reciver.

Tommygunner, there is no exaggeration that can be made to the claim that based on your V4 Springfields, your V5s are going to put mass producing companies out of business. This is top quality craftsmanship and you can sure bet that I will be waiting with the rest of the community in anticipation for your V5s. I may just even save the Springfield that I’m currently selling, just for your conversion. ;D I can only hope you find someway to keep these beauties affordable. Moauro’s Gun Works is gaining reputation! Polski

Its just a standard BAR mag catch mechanism with a puch button. I forgot to drill the hole for the puch button before the picture was taken. Basically the mag catch is the exact same as on the BAR-10 rifle.

No milling machine here. However I am investing in a wood stock replicator so that I will be able to replicate Springfield stocks from originals modified to fit airsoft internals with the touch of a button. The machine costs around $1,200.
I am getting prices from a company that will custom design recivers for me on a CNC machine for the V5 springfields that will come out in 2011.

Looks great....Now i need to buy the newer one!!! Still im sure the one i have on order will look great!! That was my first thought as well lol. Of course... after that I started putting the vintage Weaver g6 scope I picked up to my monitor to see how it would look with the rifle.

Good news for anyone who ordered the V3 Springfields. I will also offer the full wood stocks seperatly from the rifles next year so that anyone who wants a full wood stock can litterally drop thier V3 internals into the V4 stock.

If you are getting one of those gun stock duplicators, I was wondering if you could possibly take my hwasan double barrel stock(sawed off) and make a duplicate with the same fit, only a full stock version? I'll pm you.
