Ok This is maybe half of the total collection.. (the rest would be hard to photograph due to the amount and some are burried in the other room and hard to get at) Some of these have never been fired and are still in the MGC cellophane wrapping (Combat Commander RH corner) Again this amount of modelguns was enough hassle to get together to take pictures of i can't immagine the work required to get the rest of them and take their pictures! I tried to get most of my submachine gun collection in but they all won't fit as there are too many!

Well my collection is split between 2 homes so it aint going to be easy to do them all together also off for on a mini break and wedding until sun but will get something sorted when i get back.

That is a very impressive collection mark but then you have know about models guns for a considerable longer time than the rest of us.

By the way what is the madsen like for firing, not a very nice looking gun but i am tempted to get one just cos ita full auto, saw them being used in a james Bond movie recently cant remember the name off it though but the henchmen using them were on an oil rig diamonds are forever perhaps.

Anyway serioulsy nice collection, does anyone else come close to having as many as you.

Ah guys, it's not about numbers it's the modelguns!

Claymore, the Hudson Madsen is great! I use the Hudson Sten cartridges in it with a homemade detonator..Francky1958 is trying to get me to use the Tanaka USP cartridges as he say's that they work better..The Madsen M50 was used in the bond movie"Diamonds are forever" as well as the MattHelm series with Dean Martin.

I wish that i had the time to photograph all of them but, time isn't always on my side

The MGC "Bowling pin" edition that i was talking about the other day is right next to the KSC M93R's..

I try to collect semi and fullauto pistols/rifles/submachineguns only as i don't really have much interest in revolvers anyway..In fact, i only have two real revolvers in my gun collection: a S&W M629 .44 and a S&W M48? .22 magnum.

Wow, nice collections out there! You are lucky, guys!

Mark, the AR-15 Carbine on top, what´s that for a model?

Greetings,

MadMike

I will show pics as soon as my collection is worth showing it here

Hi MadMike,

That's a cut down MGC M655 carbine that had sometime in the past, broken it's barrel. And then someone put the flash suppressor on close to the front sight post like an early Colt 10" barreled XM177. I then put the collapsing stock on using the original fixed stock tube with an adaptor.

Your collections are all worth showing guys regardless if it's just one pistol,revolver etc! The point of this thread is to show what modelguns that you have not the amount or the quality that you have!

My KSC King Cobra

John,

I love the KSC modelguns they are very realistic and they are very well built too..I just realised that i do have one revolver in my modelgun collection it's an old all zinc MGC SAA 4-3/4 barreled civilian model that i bought in 1980. It of course, is all beat up and has broken /missing parts as well as no original finish.

It's interesting as well as it brings back memorys so i keep it around.

Thanks for that, Mark. The MGC AR-15 sure is a very nice custom model.
Okay, I will post a pic of my Marushin metal finish pistols soon, although they can be already seen at the "How many modelguns do you own" topic.

Greetings from Germany

I only have three model guns But I'll see if i can put a picture of my entire replica collection up Unfortunately, i usually have to sell a gun to buy a new one

*** Originally posted by madmike ***


So, here comes the pic of my collection. To be frank, nothing special at all. The pistols are all Marushin ABS metal finish versions. The XM 177 E2 is the Marusin kit, the M16 A2 Carbine M-725 is the latest MGC version in metallic grey/black.

This is my collection so far, only the marushin dolphin is missing as its off for repair.
Sorry about the quality of the revolver pics but i forgot my camera and had used the one on the phone instead.

The revolvers and a few machine guns taken with the cam phone



My handgun collection (minus a Dolphin)



My machingun collection



I have not listed what every model is (as there are a lot) but if everyone wants me to then i will add what the models are and make.

Just checked the size of the photo's and photobucket seems to be resizing them for me. usually the pics come out huge and have to be resized this time they have come out small, dont know why. I will leave them as is for now but see i i can get them any bigger some time.

Here is my current collection:

*** Originally posted by 2sharp ***


Only 3 modelg uns so far, by the discovery of this board i hope to be able to buy more



Threw in some not-so fake (de-activated of course) munitions.

Sad to say all of them are broke in one way or the other, hope to have the Dolphin up and running when i get a new barrel for it.
Missing some screws on the Kokusai/S&W and the "cylinder feeding part spring" is broke.
The Marushin Uzi has a broken bolt, it won't feed properly. The cocking mechanism is broken too, it won't stop if you drop it while cocking it, a safety feature on the real-steel Uzi.
And one of the u-shaped parts where the pin for the magazine release is secured to the pistol grip housing is broken too, fixed it with tape.

The Uzi was bought in London about 16 years ago
Traded the Dolphin from a guy in Japan for a knife, the Kokusai i bought at a Swedish eBay type site.

Model guns are addictive and very, very fun

Here is my stuff:


I love browsing thru your pictures guys, seeing all those lovely guns is great!

Rizzo, your muzzleflash is awesome!


Thanks Mark!
The MGC Sterling is in very good condition, but it has the exact same barrel and machined bolt as your Sterling, would really loved to fire caps with it

The Sterling also came with a sling pictured here, don't know if it's original though.

The AK47 is a real steel deactivated one. It looks quite old and used (made in 1965), but thats how AKs should look Do you think it would be possible to turn it into a cap fire gun by replacing some parts? Might be a problem with the detonator.
