PFC Rifles

Gary, check out the pictures of the type 99 rifle Although, i really can't tell if it's an airsoft or a modelgun...I am fairly sure that Tanaka made a 7mm cap firing type 99 (i have been wrong before though)

well mark

im none to sure were your looking ..... but the only type 99 rifle i've seen is definately airsoft ! (thats on the wwiiguns.com site by the way)

AH HA, Gary, i have found that YES, i am correct, that Tanaka did indeed make a Modelgun version of the type99! Check it out! : http://members14.tsukaeru.net/toku/english%20model%20rifle%20page2.htm

AH HA .so your not going crazy after all

ok..so theres two possiblities for pfc "bolt" action rifles ....... well thats good to know

ill see what francky comes back with though, if he can get hold of a Mauser karabinder 98k and for how much ..... (i've pretty much decided i'll get one if i can despite the fact i said i wouldn't get another 'big' modelgun )

There might be some other bolt action modelguns available too that we are un-aware of so, don't be suprised when and if, a Enfield SMLE modelgun shows up!

hmmmmm and it'd just be sods law that one turns up AFTER i've bought a 98k .....just so id have to buy an enfield as well :lol

***Originally posted by mark ***




Yep, that's how it works alright!

***Originally posted by garyforce ***




i would love to see an enfield in model gun for i have a real steel no 4 and would love the idea to have a model gun version to play with in the home

***Originally posted by mark ***




I still have no idea why the Enfield SMLE isn't represented as a modelgun perhaps they have been made i just haven't seen one yet...

***Originally posted by gmanuk ***




Maybe we should all contact the manufacturers and see what they have to say???

***Originally posted by garyforce ***




not a bad idea......but which ones ?

who are the main m'gun rifle manufactures ?

***Originally posted by garyforce ***




Hudson seem to make quite a few yet so do MGC

***Originally posted by mark ***




Well it depends on what material that you want the Enfield to be made out of as each manufacturer makes modelguns out of different materials like zinc,ABS or HW.

1. Hudson specializes in making all metal (zinc) modelguns all the time

2. Tanaka has in the past, made all metal modelguns but, they haven't for a while..

3. Shoei they currently make all metal modelguns although, they seem to make only German modelguns at this time.

4. Marushin makes some all metal modelguns mostly the M16-Uzi

5. MGC makes some all metal models like the Thompson and the Winchester leaver actions etc.

And all of them make ABS/HW models as well But, it's difficult to say if they would produce an Enfield or not...

Ummm interesting i think it will pay off for us to contact them all if possible mark or john if you no email addresses of the manufactures please list them here

***Originally posted by mark ***




Ok, i will see if i can get some email addys however, they probably don't accept English emails..I don't know but i will see what (if anything) can be done...

***Originally posted by gmanuk ***




Can't hurt to contact them and put our points across

***Originally posted by garyforce ***




so long as they answer

***Originally posted by gmanuk ***




True Very true but i also like the kar98 i think there awsome bits of kit

***Originally posted by mark ***




If the modelgun market stays active, they will answer!! And, they will make new modelguns too!!

***Originally posted by gmanuk ***




hopefully will listern to us fingers crossed

***Originally posted by mark ***




It mainly depends on the modelgun market for anything good to happen new models wise....

***Originally posted by garyforce ***




well anyone from mgc or hudson reading this......... id like a lee enfield rifle and a browning automatic rifle please hehehe

***Originally posted by mark ***




The LEE possibly, the BAR i seriously doubt! But, since some manufacturer (JAC?) made an airsoft BAR before there might be a slight possibility...

***Originally posted by garyforce ***




i know i know ...... strikes me as odd though that only 1 company has made the BAR !

i mean it was THE light machine gun for US troops in WW1 ...... saw major distribution with the british home gaurd in WW2 .......and was in service right upto the Korean war ! .......so youd think someone would have at least made a modelgun version by now ........ im surprised Shoei havent as they seem, to be the main guys for support type machine guns
