Crazy DSR-1!
 

Found this on the net, not sure if this is the right place to put this but anyways... Remember the guy (Candyman) who custom built the airsoft version of the WA2000? Well he's made an airsoft version of the DSR-1 this time and it looks sweet!

fuck i hate this guy.....hes SOOOOO GOOD

cant wait to see whats next in a few months

OH.... MY.... GAWD!!! I need to go change my pants now, thats so f*cking sweet.

Me want!

Wow, that guy is an amazing craftsman.

He should probably get into real-steel gunsmithing...

If you guys haven't already, check out his WA2000 and Unique Alpine TPG-1 as well. I think he does arnie's first. There's a thread for each gun there, many many pages long :D

Candyman is a member here and has posted some of his builds here:

ah... so thats where I saw the WA2000 from

that basturd i want his guns specially the WA2000

that is AMAZING!!!

completely illegal to do here, right?

hm... I was wondering about the same thing since I've been thinking about building a SVT40 for airsoft, not sure if its legal to do... but common sense tells me that it would be illegal.

It's incredible! I like!

I wonded if an integral barel machined to be a tightbore would make a big difference in shot placement accuracys. Absolutly no flex or play in the barrel... I'd like to try that out on my M24.

About legality, I think Candyman in the UK gets it by as a modification on an existing gun (he uses the internals from an existing airsoft gun after all), which means he is not actually creating a new RIF, which would be illegal.

Not sure in Canada, but I would presume the entire process to be illegal since for us, it's based a lot more on looks.

Hello, thanks for the comments, any questions let me know!

Absolutely amazing. I am close to being speechless, but not close enough... ;->

So THAT'S how you use a rotary table!! I've been wondering for a while, but haven't researched it yet.
I am completely stunned that you can build something like that without a mill and a lathe... umm, I'm assuming you haven't upgraded your workshop since the WA2000? If you have, what did you add? 8-)

With respect to building airsoft guns:

In Canada, I believe that it is legal to build firearms. The key is that they must be given a serial number and registered once finished. I also believe (and here I am not sure) that one requires a gunsmithing license in order to do this.

Airsoft guns are not classed as firearms, but replicas. Here the law seems to get very fuzzy. It is not legal to sell a replica. I believe it is not legal to possess a replica. I've heard the term 'grandfathering' used in the case of replicas, but AFAIK this term only applys to real firearms, which are registered. As well, there are three categories of grandfathering: full auto, assult rifles, and short barreled pistols. Grandfathering for full autos came first. Being grandfathered for one category does not mean that one is grandfathered for all: I have 12(5) (assult rifle) on my PAL, so I could purchase an AR15 but not a Thompson or a Walther PPK. As airsoft are not registered, there is no record of who owns what and therefore they cannot be 'grandfathered' as firearms are. That being said, there seems to be a tacit grandfathering in place: to whit, if the owner does not cause trouble they will be left alone. My guess is that, as airsoft are not normally capable of lethal projectile energies, law enforcement would rather pursue something more serious. After all, airsoft really is a game.
Having said all that:
An individual should be able to undertake the manufacture and/or modification of an airsoft gun in Canada without much concern. So long as they treat the end product with the same level of concern and care that they would use for a purchased product, there should be no problem. If they start manufacturing for sale, however, they may get into trouble.

To paraphrase my comment on one of his other threads here about his guns... With his gun builds, he's given more men hardons than Jenna Jameson in her prime.

lol, thanks, I have a little mill now, I bought it for the Alpine project, it was essential for the DSR, not bought a lathe yet. I only needed 2 bits doing on a lathe so I got a friend to turn them for me, the barrel end and the bipod legs.

love this picture!

i am sooo envious, and someday i hope to attempt something of the same caliber.

I am having a little trouble deciding from the photo where the magazine sits when it feeds. If it is to the rear of the pistol grip, then this is the first bullpup bolt action that I have ever seen. (Was wondering why no-one had come up with the idea before...)
Louis

yea, from what i can tell the rear magazine is loaded/engaged one. the one in the front might be a spare, or a place to hide other components.

Yes the front is a spare mag for quick changes. The rear loads and works as it should, as the rear gun does. Putting the cocking lever infront of the magazine is...... was a major headache and I think thats why no one made one before! Rather than move the magazine back I opted to move the lever forward, just a different way of solving the problem.

Thats ingenious, and what was to total cost on all the parts required to make this?

Gun parts
Aluminium £60
M700 (2nd hand) £100
Paint £20
Magazine £20
Tubes £31
Steel rod/tube £19
Parts total £250 ($500 canadian)

Accesories
Case £48
mounts £10
Scope £35
Accesories total £93

So the bare gun was $500 canadian, with the scope and case $700

except that a 2nd hand m700 takedown here is about $400....

wow, thats not bad, if you wanted to sell that you could get way more then double, great work

but the alpine tpg is still my fav

I was lucky the guy I bought the M700 from knew of me and gave me a special price :)

Lots of people like the alpine, ive had 3 offers on that so far! the most was £2000, about $4000, but I couldnt part with it. All of the guns are very special to me.

Any plans for the next build? hint hint

I always like to see suggestions for new guns, thats defo a unique looking one!

Next is a pistol, its going to look like the Hammerli 280 target pistol, but polished ally and walnut, im going to change it a bit to what I like aswell to make it my own. Should be starting that soon.
