No problem, as the only person in MGW I have come to expect a level of frustration from people when things go past the period of build time I quoted. I especially get frusterated when things dont go as I had planned them either. Also it got very hard to send e-mails and take pics lately becuase I headed back to college. The build schedual was planned out so that all rifles would be shipped before I left for school, however becuase of the guy who screwed me I am now having to drive over 100 miles a week in order to make it back to the shop on the weekends to finish the orders. Hence the lack of pictures and e-mails being sent out.
However with the comming purchase of a rifle stock replicator, a mill, metal drill press and band saw things will finally turn towards the type of product a major company would produce. Things will become in a sense automated and price along with build time will go down as everything will finally be centrally located and I will be in controll of every aspect of MGWs supplys.
Also again all 2009 V3 rifle customers will recive a free full wood stock to replace the compsite stock if you would like.

I always come through on my sales and promises to anyone who orders a product and sometimes circumstances out of my control play into the delivery time of a final product. However all customers have always recived a rifle from me. MGW is still a very small one man operation and delivery times while I do quote a two month build time seem to change. This is becuase I trusted two people to deliver me certain pre made items which they themselfs neglected to deliver resulting in a massive cash loss. Needless to say I have made almost no profit on this summers sales becuase of this and it had actually resulted in about a month and a half of waisted waiting per rifle during which I was unable to work on them because the parts I was promised never got built. Anyway I undertstand the frustration and hope to make right by these pics along with the fact that not only you but also all buyers this summer will recive full wood stocks for the guns for free next year once the stock replicator arrives and I have a batch built for you. Your Springfield is the first one on the left. The rear bolt assembly simply needs to be attached and the barrel attached and also for some reason I recived a batch of rifles with the wrong bolt handle so for yours and a few others I am custom building a better bolt handle.n Also each rilfe is coated with dust right now that will be cleaned off prior to shipping. Here are some pics of two other Springfields (they dont belong to anyone) in the construction process. The wood front ends are what I had contracted a private wood worker to build and they were never delivered resulting in myself having to build 15 different wood front ends last minent without the proper tools almost at the two month point for almost everyones rifle resulting in a huge loss of time.

For anyone who has ordered a V3 Springfield or V3 Enfield.
Next year I will be offering the V4 Springfields and Enfields with full wood stocks. Becuase of the problems in obtaining the needed parts for this last batch of 2009 V3 rifles I am offering anyone who has ordered a V3 Springfield or Enfield the chance to order a V4 Springfield or Enfield stock to put on your V3 Springfield or Enfield.
The stocks will not be available until May of 2010 but with little to no modification you will be able to put these stocks onto your V3 rifles. The cost for a V4 stock for anyoen who ordered a V3 rifle will only be the cost of shipping it to you. This is my way of making up for the extra time it has taken to build the 2009 batch of rifles.

sorry about that. Turns out I forgot to order the safty switch that goes on the rear bolt assembly so those will be here by the end of the week and shipments of the Springfields will go then. I didnt notice the missing part until final assembly of a few rifles. When they are shipped a tracking number will be sent as well as an e-mail invoice. Also all shipments will be insured for the cost of the gun and a person will need to be present to sign for the package for all orders. TommyGunner

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.

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.

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.

I just had a thought........German airsofters all equiped with the new Chinese death weapon AEGs. Guys all equiped with the Mg-42 and STG-44s simply mowing down the allies.
Well it happened at our last airsoft event here in Illinois......except there was no Mg-42, just alot of Stg-44s lol

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.

An e-mail will be sent out about this to all MGW customers in a day or two.
All orders will be shipped no latter than the 23rd of this month.
The delay in shipping is a result of the wood worked I contracted to presicion build all of the wood parts from me skipping out on the job I contracted him to do and not returning the money I gave him for the job. He jerked me around for awhile resulting in myself having to mass produce all of the parts this week.
Also I seemed to have been taken when it came to ordering the Springfield parts as well. Those never seemed to show up. So I was forced to place an order with SARCO (which I will now order from always) for over $600 in parts I already paid someone else for. Luckly I was refunded the cash from the previous supplier but this only occured a few days ago.
So through poor judgement in contractors and suppliers (who made away with a fair sum of cash) the construction period has been lengthened to the 23rd when all orders will be shipped out.
Thank you all for bearing with me. Now with a great supplier such as SARCO for parts and the purchase of a wood stock replicator these problems will be a thing of the past with my 4th generation all wood and metal rifles I will release next year!

I would like to make a formal apology for not having responded to any e-mails for two weeks. We have been extreamly buisy and out of town very frequently and have had very little time to be capable of answering any e-mails and giving them the attention they deserve. However the maddness has ended and responses will be heading out tonight and tomarrow to the people waiting for them. To anyone that has bought a gun dont worry, just becuase things have been buisy does not mean work has halted on the weapons, they are progressing in production as planned infact thats one of the reasons I have been buisy TommyGunner

As of now there are no known german defenses against the Armored car. However the Germans outnumber the allies 3 to 1 so numbers make up for a lack of a weapon to knock it out with.

Everything is legal and the neighbors know about the events as they are always informed when they are.
Infact some even come out to watch the event. The local police have already been alerted to the fact a game is in play and local laws on airsoft in Kendal county state that airsoft is legal in a residential area so long as the authorities are informed ahead of time.
Our next door neighbors consist of a WW2 veteran as well as the head of the Kendal county corners department and former head of the Bristol Kendal fire department.
The field is a small one but the games have always been amazing! Great people and good sportsman ship always create great events and overcome the smaller space.
