handler 69 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Is there any place I can get some scale drawings of the mag 58 GPMG from. A mate of mine can make up a 1:1 but needs some scale drawings. Can anyone help ?:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think you may draw a blank on this one. Similar questions have been asked on several other forums for people wanting to make 3D models and they have had to use reference images instead. You may be lucky here: http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/weapons/machine-guns/page/1/ Although I have had a good look and couldn't see it listed - maybe post a request on their forum?

chevpol Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Am not being a wet sponge, but are you allowed to do that? Doesnt it come under the RIF Act? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Whats the RIF act? Sounds like something you'd get on a really "good" night out :wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretfixer Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 VCR Act = Violent Crime Reduction Act. Realistic Imitation Firearm. There are sections on Procuring, Manufacturing, sale of Etc. All Basicaly Boll**ks, BUT, we ALL have to abide by the Law. It's a bit of a Nause, but you can legally comply with it fairly easily........:undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handler 69 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks fellas was going to point that out :nut: Most things are covered now in Tasmania (at least) with a "militaria" collectors license. As long as I tell them what I have and they are deact then the authourities are cool with it. Cheers Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 And also quite irrelevant to someone in Australia! Although, if you look into it, there are indeed restrictions in Aus, Similar to our Laws over here. As Troy has pointed out, you actually need a Militaria Collectors Licence over in Aus. WE do NOT need a Licence here in the UK. I know a Chap who used to live in Aus & manufacture Replica weapons there. This was Mainly for the Government for training purposes. He pointed out to me the 'Difficulties' with replicas & Legislation there. So much so, he now resides here in the uk!.. Complying with the Law & obtaining a Legal Licence to my mind, is Hardly 'Irrelevant'!.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handler 69 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think Sir HC was reffering to the RIF act :-D. Each state in Australia has it's own laws governing these things and some are horrific to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handler 69 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 What you fellas don't have to have a license over there foe de act stuff? :shocked::shocked: What about blank firing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 What you fellas don't have to have a license over there foe de act stuff? :shocked::shocked: What about blank firing? No Licence required for ANY LEGALY deactivetd weapon of ANY type or class. As long as it has it's Legal certificate of deactivation. Unique to that weapon) Legal Blank firers no licence required. The main restriction are to be able to procure & sell. IE: To living History Reenactors, Airsoft Skirmishers & for film or Stage work. Legal to own if your NOT one in these catagories. BUT, you MUST comply if you sell, manufacture or exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
