Sadly that must be the case. No way for it to be made and sold for that price otherwise.Originally Posted by mrto
I hope it's made from something more substantial than plastic and/or monkey metal,though unlikely I suppose!
Plenty of replicas available made in China which is not bad in itself but what I mean is that if you have the $$$ for a viable order they can make a replica of anything for you.
Nevertheless the use of such materials is acceptable in the airgunning scene, and it must be, because otherwise these items just would not exist.
The "proper" stuff aka Brococks are now illegal, and they were mostly based on real firearms already being produced in reasonable numbers that had some components replaced or just machined, basically the cylinder and the barrel, thus the cost was within reason.

Shame it's BB rather than pellet firing. Would have been nice to have some accuracy too, particularly as there are similar pellet firing CO2 pistols available.

Crumbs. Not really into airguns these days but can see this being a lovely "ornament" in place of a deac.
Would go well with an Enfield or AIA if I ever get my bum into gear and buy one.

I'd put some money on it being made by the same factory that puts out the "Dan Wesson" type replicas, and don't these come in a pellet firing option? Together with 6mm plastic BB, IIRC.
Certainly it would be very simple for the factory to offer these in any reasonable airgun calibre.

Having one of them- definately

The early production example that I handled ejects on opening like the real thing and I could not see any markings on it apart from authentic WW1 markings. It was made out of alloy but I assume it would be prohibitively expensive if made from steel. A pellet firing version would be very welcome.

It's cider has done for this country. And it may have done for you. First it was Mrs Thatcher and The Sweeny making the egregiously effeminate 'lager beer' from the Continent fashionable for actual MEN to drink (She encouraged the nation to aspire to act like the rich and take foreign holidays, while the pretentious TV Cockney plainclothesman was trying to set himself above uniform plod) THEN when the recent recession bites and in our hour of weakness the Irish and French apple industries launch an artillery barrage of 'cider', tarted up as a sophisticated tipple.... whereas we all secretly know its just a trainer drink for adolescents or cheap back-up for the derelicts in the park for when the Special Brew gives out. Lager, then cider .... what next? They are eating croissants IN NEWCASTLE! Wake up!I don't care about it now I've 'ad some cider

Doomed!
