JohnArmourer75 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm looking to make a military plaque for a colleague who is leaving after 30 years of service as an Armourer. My plan is to use a plastic replica of a Browning 9mm or Glock pistol and mounting it on a oiled oak mount with brass insignia and 9mm brass case. If anyone has a broken or damaged replica or airsoft equivalent I would be most grateful and happy to pay a small fee and cover P&P. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry136 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Chances are you will be mounting a Glock as the Browning HP's have only just come on the market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I have the Browning HP but it’s in perfect nick, so not sure a ‘small fee’ would cover it 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a good idea, getting hold of that much brass these days is not easy. I plan to use the plastic and brush paint it with model paint to give it a worn metal effect. I plan to use a dremel to cut it into two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a ring around some indoor shooting ranges. .22LR brass will be available as scrap as will Berdan primed centrefire scrap. In one sense it'd be quite apt to have a gun cast from scrap cartridge brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddler Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Need to do something similar - but in my case I need an MP5K 1:1 scale model/airsoft - a mate in the US wants me to make him a shoulder rig for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moongeese Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I dont know what area of the country you are John, as your profile does not say, but if you are near me, I have a blank firer Browning Hi-power, that you could take a mould from, and I could give you enough brass cases to finish the job.
