Wooden Replica Guns

Post by gavin

this place sells replica slrs they are made from wood so no moving parts they are just painted wood but as a wall hanger they might be what you are looking for

check out the launchers the 203 and the ak launcher gp25 i think i think they are made out of plastic though might look good on a model gun

I had the misfortune to buy some of the wood replicas that RELICS do when they firsst started out-TOTAL CRAP.No idea what they are like now but they were terrible then!!!!!!!
I have just sold a deact SLR and have a full set of ORIGINAL SLR PLASTIC FURNITURE for sale if anyone is interested.Anyone with any knowledge of woodworking could turn out a better replica than theirs for a fraction of the cost i would think.BEWARE as some of the pics they used on their website were or proper guns not their replicas.

Gavin im not trying to persuade people not to deal with this particular company-their products may well have improved over time and they do have some rare unique replicas its just from my personal experience that the items i bought definately were not worth the money i paid for them.I suppose it depends on what you expect from them detail wise etc.

your probably right though they do have a few rare replicas that you could not get any where else but i think most colectors wuold prefer somthing that can fire or strip and in my exeperiance companys that sell poor quality good dont change

I suppose for say long distance film work or for maybe mounting on a vehicle they are no problem at all but as you say it is always nice to have something you can fire or strip down etc.The SLR i just sold was a new spec mostly welded up version but it was still a real one and wouldnt snap or break if dropped,could remove mag atec and fit bayonet.Granted more expensive than a relics replica but well worth the extra money.

Why pay £178 for a K98 or £138 for a Lee Enfield wood replica when you can probably get a deact for the same money?All metal replicas i understand as they are sometimes a lot cheaper than the real thing but these nasty wood things i just cant understand im afraid.

Again purely my opinion and not a slur on Relics as a company.
