Time is runnig out! Just in cased you missed my EKOL Arda & Dicle - Bruni Mod. 92 PAK Blank Gun Silent Auction video last week or perhaps didn't get a chance to bid on anything, this is your last chance as this silent auction ends tonight at midnight (Friday May 11th).
You can check out the original post and watch my YouTube video for these items located here.
I've been talking a lot about some blank gun offering for my Canada based customers and I didn't want to leave out my US located customers. So I've added a few 1911 styled blank pistols to the Replica Airguns US Store. Now keep in mind these 1911 blank guns are all top venting but they still function and field strip much like a real gun!
Buy the Kimar 1911 Government Reproduction Blank Pistol
Buy the Smith & Wesson 1911 S Blank Gun Black/Nickel
Buy the Colt 1911 .45 Government Blank Pistol
I don't usually do this but I am looking for a Retay Baron HK Blank Pistol, I know there are a few of them out there in Canada and I have a very good customer who I am trying to help out with this. If you have one and you are willing to sell it to me, please Contact me with your asking price!
Thanks - Mike
It's always good to start the week off with an update video so everyone knows what's happening short-term and long-term...
I recently acquired a couple new items that I will be reviewing in the near future (along with several other reviews that I will be trying to get to ASAP!) First off is the Crosman M4-177 which is basically a multi-pump pellet and BB shooting replica of an AR or M4 styled carbine used by the US military. The Crosman M4-177 is mostly plastic on the outside but on first inspection seems to be built fairly well. It has removable metal sights and the magazine is also detachable but is not used as a magazine but rather a compartment for storage. The unit I have is the Canadian detuned version which shoots .177 caliber lead pellets and 4.5mm steel BB's at under 500 fps.
I don't currently sell the Crosman M4-177 in the Canada Replica Airguns Store but I do have it available for purchase in the US Replica Airguns Store for my US customers.
I also received my first old west blank shooting revolver (M1873), I have wanted one of these for a while and finally got my hands on one :) Unfortunately this one has a plugged barrel so it vents out of the cylinder area which may get a bit messy. I may see about making this one a front venting gun if possible and of course as long as it's within the law as I plan to make sure the cylinder stays semi plugged so no actual rounds could ever be shot out of it. The Old West M1873 Blank Revolver holds six .380 crimped blanks and is an all metal and wood construction. This should be a fun review!
I also touch upon a few other guns on the list of items I need to review and by the way in an attempt to get caught up I will be doing my Table Top and Shooting reviews combined.
Here are some of the guns that I will be reviewing over the next while...
Gamo P-25 & PT-85 .177 Caliber Blowback Pellet pistols (This one will get done this week!)
Daisy Powerline 5501 Blowback 4.5mm BB pistol.
Webley Tempest .177 & .22 Caliber Spring Piston Air Pistol.
Western Arms Smith & Wesson Shorty 40 Blowback 6mm Airsoft Pistol.
Kimar Lady K Stainless Steel 9mm P.A.K. Blank Pistol
EKOL Lady Chrome 9mm P.A.K. Blank Pistol.
THIS SILENT AUCTION IS NOW CLOSED
Another great opportunity for some of my Canadian based customers to get yourself a blank firing gun here in Canada. Today I bring you three models, two front firing blank pistols from EKOL in Gloss Black (Arda and Dicle) and one Italian made top venting Bruni Model 92 in Chrome.
Let's take a look at them now...
First we have an EKOL Arda in Gloss Black:
Second up is an EKOL Dicle in Gloss Black:
Lastly we have a stunning Bruni Mod. 92 in Chrome:
All these guns are up for silent auction and this is how it works:
If you live in the US then simply order blank guns from our US Replica Airguns Store!
Checkout my Youtube Video about this silent auction with some closeup video of each blank gun.
I wanted to let my Canada blank gun buyers know that I have three front firing Gloss Black EKOL Special 99's in "Near New" Condition.
These are ones that where sold and came back to us with faulty hammers, the hammer was sliding off the release which is a bad thing. They have all been fixed and are in perfect working condition now and all of these guns have seen little or no actual use!
Here are the specifications:
These EKOL Special 99's come in a case with a manual and flare adaptor.
Of course if you live in the US you can buy an new one just about any time from our US Replica Airguns Store.
Buy the EKOL Special 99 in the Canada Store - Buy the EKOL Special 99 in the US Store
I wanted to make a quick video to showcase a few items I will be reviewing and some of which are also for sale in the Replica Airguns Store.
First off we have a few of the new front firing Kimar Model 85's (Orange Slide) left in Canada. I stated out with 9 and I am not down to 3 so hurry on this one if you want one in Canada. If you are in the US, I also have them for sale in my US Replica Airguns Store in both Black and Nickel.
I have had lots of requests to review the Daisy Powerline 5501 and to be honest I have wanted to get this one for some time and even though it is available for sale in our US Replica Airguns Store I have not had the opportunity to pick one up until now so look forward to that review again some time down the road...
Last but not least I wanted to give you a closer look at the new Turkish made high powered Webley Tempest I have available in the Canada Store, these ones shoot as hard as legally possible within our Canada limitation to be classified as uncontrolled firearms and they make great compact pest control pistols that you can keep handy for when required.
OK, so that's it for now and be sure to watch the full reviews of these guns when I get to them shortly!

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull has a medium pull and also has the built in trigger safety found on the real NAME REMOVED. There is also a grip safety that is used in combination with the trigger safety giving the Zoraki M917 a double safety system.
Accuracy: NA.
Build Quality: The overall build quality of this gun is excellent. The design and materials all seem to be of good quality as is true with all of the Zoraki blank guns. Out of all the blank guns I have reviewed the Zoraki gun materials and workmanship are closest to what you would find on real steel guns.

Realism: This gun is not "supposed" to be a replica of any gun in production but it does look amazingly similar to a NAME REMOVED semi auto pistol. The Zoraki M917 is different in that it has the double safety system with the extra grip safety on the back of the grips. The take down switch is also more like what you would find on a Walther series pistols but it makes for very easy field stripping!
Supplied on loan for review.

Pros:
Excellent construction, built pretty much just like a real NAME REMOVED.
Front firing and flawless performance.
Interesting double safety system.
Super easy to field strip.
High capacity magazine.
Come with a very nice hard shell case and accessory package.
Cons:
Not available in Canada at this time:(
NAME REMOVED users may not like the double safety system.
Comments:
The Zoraki MOD 917 is another very fine blank gun from Zoraki (ATAK Arms) which is exactly what I expected it to be! It is a real shame we can not import blank guns in Canada at this time and also the recent prohibition of several of the Zoraki blank gun models like the R1, M914 and M925. Make sure to watch my YouTube video on the Zoraki M917 for more information on what is happening in Canada with blank related importation. If you're are lucky enough to live in an area like the US or other parts of the world where your government does not treat you like a small child, then you can have one of these beautiful blank shooters!
As most of you Canadian blank enthusiasts are aware, blank guns are next to impossible to find in Canada right now, let alone a brand new blank gun! I have acquired "at substantial cost" 8 brand new Kimar Model 85 8mm P.A.K. Front Firing Blank Pistols that I will sell to the first 8 buyers, I will not be getting any more of these as this was purchased from a suppliers back-stock inventory.
As is with all rare items - they will not be sold cheap, this version also only comes with the orange painted slide which by the way is fairly easy to paint black or strip to a nickel finish. I stripped mine and I didn't even have any paint remover around - I simply used some paint thinner and my dremel for the stubborn areas, followed up with some Autosol metal polish to brighten it up.
Here is a bit of a heads up for some future reviews and YouTube videos. I have had a lot of requests to review the Gamo PT-85 and Gamo P-25 so I went ahead and picked up one of each. Now I do not currently sell these blowback air pistols in the Replica Airguns Canada Store but I do have them available in our US Replica Airguns Store.
I also took in an EKOL Lady in Chrome finish from a customer of mine looking to purchase another item in the Replica Airguns Store. Since I don't have this model it will get added to my personal collection of replica guns :) Either way we all benefit because now I have a new blank gun I can review for you all!

THIS SILENT AUCTION IS NOW CLOSED
This is the first of hopefully many blank gun silent auctions. Since we can not import blank guns in Canada and I know from all the emails I get each day, that there are lots of buyers looking to purchase blank guns in Canada. I am going to do my best to acquire used and or even sometimes some new blank guns from previous owners who may want to either sell their blank guns to me or trade them in for something else in the Replica Airguns Store.
I in turn will put these items up for sale in a Silent Auction format. A silent auction is where people send their best price to me and whoever is willing to part with the most money for said given item, gets the item that is up for bid!
So here we go! The first item up for bid is a previously owned Zoraki M906 in all black and in very good condition.
Type: Blank Gun.
Manufacturer: Zoraki - ATAK Arms.
Model: Zoraki M906.
Materials: Metal & Polymere.
Weight: .9 pounds.
Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.
Propulsion: Gun powder.
Action: Single action only.
Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K.
Ammunition Capacity: 6 round magazine.
Checkout my full review on this item here.
Also a shooting video located here.
So if you want to be the new owner, send me your top price using our email form and I will sell it to the top bidder. This silent auction is open for one week and will end on April the 25th 2012 at midnight so don't hesitate...
Good luck to the everyone and here is a YouTube video of the gun up for auction.

You may wonder how I got my hands on a Zoraki M917 front firing blank gun, this one does not belong to me but was sent for review by one of my viewers which was very generous! Not only is it near impossible to get any new blank guns in Canada these days, but many of the Zoraki blank guns are now considered "prohibited", like the Zoraki R1, 914 and 925, thankfully there rae still a couple Zoraki blank guns that are not on the hit list like this M917 Glock inspired blank shooter and also the Zoraki M906.

I plan to talk more about some of this in my full review so make sure to watch that review if you want to know more about what is going on with blank guns in Canada these days.
Enough politics for now, here are some more photos for you to enjoy till I do my full review which I plan to do very soon since this blank firing Zoraki M917 is on loan to me...
