If there was a cheap Mosin to go around you could do a russian kit for 200$ or less.

I heard some shit about being able to custom make a Mosin Nagant by stuffing some vsr internals in there, but I dont agree with ruining a beatiful rifle.Before making the AVT40 they need to make a good affordable Garand and K98.The last thing we need is a bunch of Russians armed with improper weapons like the US and German airsofters do with Thompsons and MP40s.

I do blank fire as a German , Living History as U.S. and i am not in the same mind set as some of the blank fire guys when it comes to airsoft , i love airsoft and if anyone wants to put together an impression that looks close enough , guess what , it's good enough for me , WWII airsoft has to start somewhere.
Oh and by the way , for those who say your impression has to be 100% , no impression will ever be 100% even if you wear everything authentic from your socks and underwear to your full uniform , you know why?
The second WWII ended EVERYTHING stopped being 100% ;)
So no one will ever be 100%.

There's a snowball's chance I might make it to this. Haven't had a chance to hang out and observe some serious FJ reenactors in awhile.

I plan on doing FJ reenacting in a few years (after my mother-in-law kicks the bucket! :lol: )

I'm relatively new to airsoft and for a long time I only wanted to do WWII airsoft. But seeings how I'm only 17 making high school wages, it is extremely difficult. I had to give up my dream of starting the Das Reich SS Panzer Division, and instead become the Russian Spetsnaz. Now i have the money, but nobody plays WWII. Is there anybody who would join this division if i get it started?

I do blank fire reenactment so have all the gear (except airsoft gun). I'd love to do airsoft battles, but I don't know of any happening in NORCAL. Are there any? I'd gladly invest in a gun.

Why start a new thread? This one works fine for WWII discussion.
