Feeling damn lucky to have got this into the UK before the ban, here are some pics of the 'CS&T All-Metal 'WorldCon' Blaster'. I couldn't spend as much time on them as I would have liked as I'm monumentally busy at the moment. More later perhaps. :)

Quick summary verdict:

• It's heavy!
• It looks (to me) like the real-deal!
• It outclasses my previous PKD a million times over.

Full write-up later on http://propsummit.com/index.php

Enjoy!... (See notes)

No 'Bell wire' visible - didn't want it (wouldn't be seen in a real firearm)

General 'scuffage' on base and 'back end' done by me (delivered black) - needs work. :oops: :-D

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh shinyshinyshiny!
Talked to Richard Coyle about getting one of these... Would love one of these, a PPG and a Jayne Cobb, but simply couldn't afford it in the end.
Gutted.

Nice! Very, nice in fact! I've wanted one of Rich's PKDs for years now, and it looks like the metal one may be in my future... if he'll take payments. :)

Congratulations!

Say, does the "spike" on the front above the barrel move in and out?

That's the firing pin of the real world weapon isn't it? Wasn't it some bolt action rifle? I know I read a write up about it on Phil S's website- just can't recall the name.

And I am insanely jealous as well!!!! :D :shock: :D

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Yes I can do payments, prefer using PayPal as they keep the records.

And for those within the UK we are trying to set up a importing deal.

I am at racprops@cox.net or for those on hotmail racprops@aol.com

Not really, they remade the bolt, it is nothing like the real one and no that is not the firing pin, it is way to large for one thing, sorry.

And it is a Styer model SL rifle.

Hey Eagle

Very jeaous mate. I wish I'd know about these earlier and had time to buy one before the ban.

Would sending them in "kit form" for the buyer to then assemble get around the new laws in the UK? If that's possible of course.

These are fantastic in my opinion Rich. Always wanted one but never seen one that I thought really did the prop justice until now.

Cheers

If the ban is anything like what we have had here since 1998- the answer would be no. I was nailed for trying to import an airsoft Thompsom that had been broken down, and was cited with "attempting to import components for a replica firearm". :(

Really you're probably better off having it mailed intact rather than broken down, as the gun as a whole does not resemble an exsisting modern firearm. The individual parts (especially the bolt) do however.

Probably be best to contact your Customs/Firearms agency asking them if the BR Blaster would be allowable, and provide them with a picture of it. I've done that as well and gotten the stamp of approval (on clear airsoft rifles for instance).

End hijack. :wink:

Thanks SSgt Burton.

Order it - then have Rich paint it with bright, neon orange poster paint. That way, it falls within the accepted guidelines of the new laws.

When it arrives, simply wash it off with warm water and dry thoroughly.

Et voilá - law defeated.

Nope, covered by the 'manufacture' part of the Act.

I see where you're coming from but is washing off paint actually manufacturing?...

Damn! :shock: That is a beautiful toy, all right!


On a side note, last year I visited the factory in Italy where they designed and made the whiskey glass Deckard uses.

And THAT was a hijack. :wink:

I think the point is that if you paint it a garish colour and this allows it to be imported because it is no longer "a realistic firearm replica or imitation" or whatever you want to call it. The person who then receives it may well be breaking the law by removing the paint yes. BUT it would then be in the country and in your home so who's to know. Plus if someone did ask they would have to prove you did it before the 1st October no?

Cheers
