This could be old but I just came across this site (http://westernarms.net/index.html) several months back, and I wonder...how in the heck does this guy in his mega collection that would probably dwarf all of our collections combined get so many custom-made parts? There are so many custom guns in his collection I'd pay both my arms and legs for if they were available...

Yeah...for that kind of collection and commitment you either need have retired (hence the time to maintain that collection) really rich, or some lotto winner.

You don't really need to maintain plastic airsoft pistols when they're behind glass lol...

It's not like they'll rust or anything.

I really wouldn't see the point in having that many airsoft guns. I buy airsoft to use in games, not put behind glass and even if he plays I doubt its even possible to ever use all of those guns eventually. If I had a guns collection this big, it would be real guns...

You can't own real guns in Japan. That's the basis for why airsoft exists lol

Looks to me like they were a retailer at some point and these might be the promo guns or something. Like Cyklops said, no point in owning that many if all you're going to do is have them behind glass. But than again, I'm a minimalist and don't see the point in owning any type of collection. A few maybe, just not a plethora.

Collecting airsoft in Japan? Why?

You can have a RS collection in Canada as well as long as you are licensed and registered....and you can certainly do the same in US.....

In fact, that maybe worth of 4-5 years to collecting. I don't see the money problem. It is more about how to get some of the limited edition and store all the guns. Some limited edition in Japan does not provide shipping. You will have to be physically there to get one. Well, other than people buy multiple and sell on ebay.

Like I said, I don't see the money problem. A high school student who does some part time job will be able to have such collect. Not in one night of course, but over time.

Still I need get a towel and clean myself up.

There's always a guy who has to have most in any hobby. The support for this collection must be huge. I mean storage and alarms for the room or place he keeps them must be off the wall. Or he could have them in a cardboard box under his bed lol.
