Hello, I'm a retired Navy Senior Chief. I joined the Navy in 1968 and soon became part of the "Brown Water Navy" in Vietnam. I stayed with the Navy for 30 years. During that time my job was in the patrol boat Navy which after Vietnam became today's SWCC program. Details from the early days of my River Division 594 duty to my last SWCC service is too long to list here.
I became involved with Airsoft only 4 years ago when my real steel gunsmith skills were used on the new GBB trainer systems. Even though retired my small arms and general weapons experience was put to work on making serious Trainers from "out of the box" factory GBB Airsoft guns. For Training use they must be reliable, accurate (within reason) and duplicate the real weapon as close as possible. To cut this short a years worth of testing and experimenting produced a new format of Airsoft GBB simunition Trainer. I was requested by law enforcement in SOCAL to produce custom trainers for their use as well. With CA laws being against Airsoft in total I moved my gunsmith shop to Arizona this year. I still build for military and law enforcement but I now build for the Airsoft sport users as well. A Northern Arizona friend who belongs to a "PV" group told me they needed custom GBB guns with the same qualities as the trainers. SO, WTH... if they have the checkbook I can build it. I also repair and upgrade all GBB Airsoft guns. I do full Dura Coat finishes on both Airsoft and real steel. I build sport guns as I do the trainers. Replace 99% of the zinc with steel. Replace the stock hop up with the RA Tech hop up & 6.01 barrel kit and the anti double stack barrel adapter. I also duplicate the electronic sighting systems with the higher quality Asian sights that are just like the real thing. Then tune for Co2 GHK magazines. Add the RA Tech 130% hammer spring for summer light strikes and your good to go. If you want it to look like the real issue I can do it. I know what real operators use.
My "PV" team sport buddy wants me to dust off the jungle BDU's and vintage gear and join the fun. I'm almost 63 but why not? Maybe I'll see you out there. Just look for the museum piece with the GBB XM177 and the 1911A1. Take Care and thanks for having a commie free state.
