It will likely cost more, but it saves the time and effort of driving long distances. Buy all the separate parts in the same order and assemble it all in my spare time. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I recall a magazine article a few years back in one of the Peterson magazines.... The article actually showed how, by using "after market" parts you could build a complete Colt 1911 in .45 acp. If ya can do it with a 1911, sure, why not an air gun???!!! _________________ .22 2300kt Crosman Custom   Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2009 11:44 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" I don't think the manner in which you get it is the bigger issue- it's what the end-result product turns out being that would be a larger issue. Also, building any sort of gun out of its constituent spare parts will cost exponentially more than just purchasing the gun itself. Think of it like trying to build a $20,000.00 car out of genuine OEM spare parts- the car will easily cost over $50,000.00 by the time you're done.   Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:02 pm Jaxom Senior Member Joined: 06 Aug 2008 Posts: 927 I understand your point Eric, but think of it this way, it'll be one of a kind, specifically built for you. Then of course there's also the "look what I can do" aspect of any project one builds/aseembles/creates ect. _________________ .22 2300kt Crosman Custom   Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2009 8:11 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho anyway a gun can be built through a loop hole i think is worth the expense! if you have the money! i'm lucky to have several burners i either inherited or were bought before 'registration" laws. i remember when a lot of burners in CA were cash-n-carry.. those were the days......

Good grief, move to a free state! Join the NRA, VOTE! You can buy a hunting powder burner in Jersey why not an airgun? Are New Jersey politicians all idiots? Oh Jeeeesh I just read that last question, I guess I've been out of Jersey just long enough. God bless America, well except for New Jersey FU*K NEW JERSEY!   Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2009 7:07 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho and F$CK CALIFORNIA too!!!!! _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it....... legality of "spare" parts     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
