"Sergeant Marasco said police had spoken to the Dangerfield shop at Chadstone.......The possession of an imitation or replica gun is treated the same as possession of a real firearm under the law."

So for those building a BBMG Mk82 or Steyr, there is the clear answer on how Victoria Police will respond to any complaint. Send in the helicopter and armed response.

Holy cow... the police state is coming... hold onto your rights while you still have 'em :D
“The combined synergy of a man and rifle is matchless.
The steadiness of hand, the acuity of vision and finally
the art of knowing how to make the rifle an extension of the
body all equate to the ultimate synthesis of man and machine.”
