Dropped into Oz Gel & Tactical this morning, one of the guys was assembling a 3D printed rifle… it was a FAL L1A1 replica, grip not fitted yet. Fitted in the bottom pic.
I know the price of the F1 and the L1A1 is $180, I’d imagine the Owen would be the same. Not sure about the Bren or the M60, probably more exxie due to their size and increased print time.
Anyone interested in picking up any of these can contact Brent down at Oz Gel & Tactical in Morayfield.
There are a lot of reasons why the SA58 isn’t the perfect base blaster for an L1A1 conversion, so it’s probably just as well the furniture’s unavailable.
There are lots of differences in the receiver that make it a deal breaker for the purists… the top pic rail being the most obvious. MILSIMers tend to have it milled off and the top of the receiver rounded and painted.
Still, it’s about as close as we can get right now.
I think the carry handle on the 3D print model is the biggest let down. Glaringly skinny and feels really weak. You wouldn’t want to pick the model up by that handle, I can tell you.
