You seem hesitant, is there a problem about you getting age-verified? It's not hard to do, unless you are not being straightforward about your age?
If you are hiding something, it's really not a good start... |

What kind of parts cannot be ordered from overseas/across the boarder?
I lol'd @ the thread title, bash together an AEG...I thought this was going to be about the durability of AEG's and if you can break them by bashing them together

 The top gun was built out of the spare parts of the lower gun (lower gun mainly pieces from Redwolf "heck, it has changed multiple times since photo"), all missing pieces for top gun found on ASC. Moral of the story, it would have been cheaper to just buy a SystemA PTW kit... I would have had just as much fun putting a gun together and a PTW would have been twice as nice... -Daes

DIY guns, or kit-guns are the best. Personally, there's no way to get closer to a gun, than to see it grow up , and become your dream gun... *tear*...

Still if you compare THAT to the cost of buying a "platform gun" ie. a TM M4 only to buy basically enough new parts to almost have TWO guns at the end of it. Building your own can be great if you know exactly what you plan to have at the end result. Otherwise, you're just changing part after part after part and running the bill up for no reason. If you don't have a hard set game plan, then just get a ready to go out of the box gun. If you don't have any experience at all with gun docin' then go with the out of the box gun. If you don't have anyone around willing to help you learn how to mod the gun, then stay the heck away from building your own. Also, you can run into problems with the same product in different ways. Case in point, I installed a metal body onto an M733, at every turn I had trouble with this one. However, the same brand/version of the body gave me no problem installing on another gun. Just with the one I ran into trouble with alignement and fittin for some odd reason. And then there are hop ups, have you tried assembling these? Garenteed first time around you're going to fuck it up. And then have to try again, and this time you have someone there, that kindly decides to strategically start hiding things! (You know who you are!) Buy the ready built gun, and forget about trying to smuggle them in. Unless you plan to get a speed boat and smuggle the M16 up your butt to get in, cause there are very few legal channels left for airsoft to be imported.

   that gun was built ENTIRELY off spare/ loose parts. i love it, its one of my favorite rifles ive owned. nothing is more satisfying then building the gun you want from scratch.

I've realized that there really isn't much savings to be had from building a parts gun, you loose a lot on paying shipping for the pieces from everywhere. Thankfully I've gotten some amazing deals, so I should still come out on top, but barely. (and that's all stock TM parts too) |
