Non-Firing Replica / Imitation Guns and Weapons For Sale
in Melbourne and Victoria Australia
​
People who are members of Police approved historical, re-enactment and collector groups are allowed to import into Victoria and own non-firing imitation / replica guns.
Replica / Imitation guns are manufactured to represent historic firearms as safe non-firing lookalikes. We stock replica pistols, replica rifles and replica submachine guns.
For many decades now there have been non-firing reproductions / replicas of real firearms as a far safer alternative for collectors, enthusiasts, re-enactors, museums and filmmakers.
The replica guns made by Denix look like the real thing, have the weight and even the full metal cocking actions, mechanisms and magazines, but they can never kill. Nobody has ever been shot by a replica gun.
They are made from a metal alloy that cannot be converted to fire live rounds and so have been made from the get-go as a ‘non gun’.
The fact that they are made from metal, also with correct pattern timber or other features to match their original counterparts, means that they will wear (or be made to look like they have the wear) of the genuine items. They therefore make excellent substitutes for the real thing in displays or for re-enactments or stage and screen.
Sabre is delighted to be a reseller for the high quality replica guns made by Denix.
​
Before buying a replica weapon of any form it is critical to do your homework and ensure that you are in 100% compliance with your own State’s laws first.
With that in mind here are the websites and contacts to check before you buy. Happy Collecting.
