Here's one - every object impractical, but each a precision instrument in their own right...

To make this a more interesting thread conversationally, how many of you would:
(1) buy a replica gun
(ans) NONE
(2) Replica knife
(ans) many, if they were close
(3) Replica watch
(ans) all on this site

What does that say?

I don't know, what does it say?

Personally I have no qualms collecting replica items purely for display be it art, weapons, wines etc. as it is relatively inexpensive and some gen items are extremely rare. With that said purchasing for functionality is a totally different story, so for me it depends on the purpose I suppose.

I completely disagree with this. Most of the guns I own are replicas. I would venture to say most other people as well. The difference is the plans for many models are public domain. Just like watches we purchase replicas that are high quality. My Kimber 1911 wasn't designed by kimber, it was replicated by them at a very high level.

On top of that I have a few ar15s milled and assembled by myself. I used readily available components to assemble quality functional firearms.

That being said, I see your point as well. Would I buy a cheaply made firearm from china that has a high failure rate with a kimber name on it? Probably not. The repercussions for a failure of a watch are nothing compared to the failure of a firearm.

If you are really interested, what kind? WWII vintage? Like ROF Ishapore, Fazakerly, Longbranch, US lend/lease? Trade?

fair, got it - I meant replicas of foreign origin. And I didnt mean the Chinese SKS or AK versions. I meant (unnatural) AR versions (if such were available) or name it, of Walther, Sig, HK, Glock, Ruger, SW, you get the idea

That's funny because sig actually ripped off the walther ppk lol

The Sig p232 is more of an homage piece if you ask me. Lol.

Lmao you do see the irony of us bickering over homage/replica guns on a replica watch forum [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I literally just laughed out loud

I actually own a Replica HK91, called the PTR91. It's actually nicer than the original.

PTR bought the original tooling from HK and improved the tolerances on the firearm. So in this particular case a rep is better than the gen. LOL!

The one and only "gun n watch" pic I've taken or tired to take.

Loved my PTR. Preban mags were dirt cheap too! I want an MP5k clone so bad.
