They look like the real thing.
They feel a bit like the real thing.
They weigh about the same as the real thing.
They don't work like the real thing.
To enjoy them, you have to pretend that they are the real thing.
Conclusion: buying one of these is exactly the same as buying an inflateable woman.
I like the real thing.

Not really. It's more like going out with Scarlett Johansson made up to look like Marilyn Monroe. Not quite the same thing but you wouldn't mind if you were given one.

I got my 15-22 because:
a) I liked the look
b) I think it's got better ergonomics than the 10/22 (although not perfect!)
c) It's reliable

Thanks. Very difficult to get the stock kit and sights in the UK. The original stock finish is an awful painted colour. I stripped that off with Nitro Mars, polished the stock with flour paper and finished off with an American Walnut stain.

Not much to say ...
It's a cz452 varmint .17hmr 16" with a sirocco mod, trigger adjusted & new springs.
The stock is a purpose made chassis from alloy box ( its the 2nd one I made for it ) designed, cut, fitted & balanced
the sides are from an Airsoft l96 stock ( heavily modified for it )
Painted & lacquered
