At long last my Operator is finished !

Every time I see this gun, AC/DC's "Back in Black" starts playing in my head.

That's a very realistic looking airsoft gun. 
Very nice.

Do you mind if I use it as a reference for some weapon study?

It's amazing how realistic airsoft guns have become.

I'm actually thinking of buying the real version of this myself.

Nice photo!

It is, especially when you consider that just about 5-6 years ago a full metal gun was a rarity.

So is this an Airsoft or a real springfield? it looks amazing, where did you get all the parts and the gun if its airsoft?

Its indeed an airsoft build.

The Springfield Armory grips are genuine, everything else was bought separate over a considerable time frame. Most parts like the slide/frame kit can be picked up from numerous HK retailers like WGC and redwolf, theres a build list in the description above. The only part that will be difficult to find is the shooters design stainless steel barrel as its now discontinued, but there are alternatives out there.

Hope that helps !

If its any consolation this also started out as a modest TM 1911, just add bling !
