Nice display mate. Is the rifle a 1:1 kit too, or the real thing? If it's a model, then you've done a good job on the metal finish - looks real.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

The M-14 is a Dragon 1/3 scale model. It was a fun kit. Built staight out of the box and I painted the metal hardware with Tamiya Gun Metal paint. The charging handle works and the box magazine is removable.

Here is a picture of the 1/3 scale model with my WE-Tech gas blow back airsoft M-14.

Very nice, and nicely done too ! Years ago, i had a 1:1 scale plastic kit (I think LS Gun Kits) of a MP40, and an M16A1, which I built and hung on the wall. They looked the real deal, until handled of course !
 
Too true ! Me and my mates use to play with Sten guns made from a length of broom handle and a stick for a magazine. They were real to us of course !!
 
Play airsoft. You can shoot each other with those? Interesting. Not something I would condone with my kids. I was under the impression that though not lethal they hurt and could put an eye out. Man I'm getting old. :rolleyes:
 
I've got an electronic M16 airsoft thingy, bought for lecturing purposes, rather than use the real thing. My mate fired it at his Shogun, and it chipped the windscreen ! Although not lethal, some of them do hurt on impact, and I could easily see eye injuries happening. I believe though that, as with 'paint ball', the contestants wear goggles or full-face masks.

Bingo! Whenever I or anyone airsoft you should always wear goggles as they can take an eye out. As for the "hurt" aspect, its really not that bad. It forms a small welt that goes away after a few minutes and just stings for a few seconds....you get used to it pretty quick. Oh and did I mention its a ton of fun! Paintball however hurts a lot more!
