Bob you can't shoot that at your friends at least and have them stand back up and play again with you normally. Airsoft especially custom rifles cost time to make. time is money.

I wish I had a buck for every time I heard a comment like that. "Geez my real one only cost..." Incredibly numb remark. Actual issue rifles were built in the millions, 60 + years ago with the economy of scale and impact of inflation that allowed for it. The cost of a custom airsoft rifle has little if any bearing on the cost of a real steel rifle. The take off parts used need to be added to the cost of the base rifle and THEN the build time. The general lack of appreciation for what that entails makes me want to puke sometimes.
My hat goes off to anyone willing to supply the marketplace with a home built offering as I know that none of them are making anything significant off the process other than the satisfaction of knowing that they are filling a need and supporting the WW2 airsoft community.
All of them could match their income off of these builds by checking their brains and talents at the door and going to work part time at MacDonalds. The pay would be greater on an hourly basis and while they certainly wouldn't have the enjoyement of personal craft, they also wouldn't have the level of grief.

I don't think Bob meant anything by it John. I know how you feel I think bob was just remarking on the difference in one of the surplus rifles is and a custom job. It sometimes takes some time to wrap your head around the prices of airsoft guns. Me and you did that long ago Bob is newer to the notion plus he's never had to custom build one of these things.

I know I was cranky and up past my bedtime. Sorry to snap at anyone. The remark didn't have any ones name on the bullet, it was addressed to whom it may concern. A flecette round into the bushes!

The argument won't last forever. Airsoft guns will decrease in price and real WWII weapons will increase and become rarer and rarer, which is unfortunate.
