Cybergun 1911 blow back

[Adam77K]

Does anyone ever do 'group buys' on this forum? I'm on a couple of VW forums, and people sometimes organise these to aid with price and delivery... it seems that there's some interest in this model (I definitely want one ) so could anything be organised? Would the dealer do a better price if half a dozen of us bought?

I like the sound of that and it might work with optics and accessories, but for airgun would fall foul of the VCRA unless the recipient was an RFD.

Someone gets RFD to order group buy. RFD gives person the guns after receiving money. Person sends out guns to buyers "second hand".

Not sure if this even saves that much money this way or not, but it's the best thing I could think of.

I'd sure as hell would be interested in a group buy for one of these if such a thing was ever attempted however.

A group buy would need to be at a substantial discount to make it worth it in terms of the additional postage and potential serious chew if anyone's 1911 has to go back under warranty.

Still it can't hurt to ask the question of an RFD as to how many would cost what, and suss out a deal to be done?

Shall we all inquire locally to ourselves how many 10 would be and post the results?

Are these actually in the shops yet ?

I have not yet found them listed however v confusing with several different types including a cheap cybergun item with " Tanfoglio Witness " written on the side ( none blowback - none fieldstrip ?? )

Then you have plastic bb / metal bb variants . V confusing . However I see Mcavoys in Wigan have all the other cybergun models so might be a good start for me as almost within reasonable travel distance .

Agree with above comments : once the guns leave the shop they are secondhand and therefore not subject to the VCR and able to be posted - just like used guns on the BBS !
Still it irks somewhat all this faff for a bb gun , what has happened to this country ??

Mine is on the way according to my RFD.

I've just picked one up from Mcavoys, and set of original 1911 wooden grips. Awesome!

This is one very very nice pistol, how they can make something of such quality for such a price I don't know.

EDIT : Standard 1911 grips have the correct spacing for the screws but will need some material removed on the rear as the frame widens where the CO2 bulb goes. Shouldn't be too difficult for anyone with a dremel.
