Getting a replica PPK in UK

Hi All
I've been reading on the forum a lot trying to pick up some hints on the best reproductions of the PPK.
I'd really appreciate it if you guys could verify my findings before I make an expensive mistake.

The Maruzen looks fantastic, it seems you lot like the metal finish one the best. If possible I'd like to get one of the kits with the silencer and case but there don't seem to be too many around these days so I'll probably have to piece everything together. I’m also looking for a stand.

Do you guys have any recommendations on airsoft websites that ship to the UK?
I’ll probably end up using RedWolf, they seem reputable.

As a UK resident I have to comply with UKARA. I’m fairly tempted to figure out my local Airsoft place and do the whole registration process, my main concern with this is the cost... but I also quite like not having a criminal record. There seem to be circumstances where I don’t need to be registered but I’m not too clear on what they are.

How rare are new Maruzen models just now, are they still in production?

I’ve seen various hints of forum members who create replica parts and kits but It’s hard to keep track of who’s still out there and selling.

I’m happy to message people but I’d rather not annoy a user who possibly stopped doing such things 4-5 years ago with a question he probably gets PMed about all the time!

Thanks

    Just buy a deactivated real PPK. You could probably pick up a decent example of one for the same price as having to get the whole airsoft kit and having to join a club for six months or so. Besides the Maruzen isn't a very accurate replica.

    That's an interesting idea, It's crazy I don't need to apply for anything to get one of those.
