Although the name “boneyard” may hint of dry-docked naval ships or a defunct military airport, Airsoft has incorporated this very same concept into their selection of rifles, handguns and assault rifles. As the name will therefore denote, the Airsoft Boneyard is a place where customers can find a wide variety of guns and accessories for prices that are extremely less than their current market value. However, the term “boneyard” is more colloquial than it is appropriate. This modern storage option is much more than a scrap heap of unusable spare parts. On the contrary, the Boneyard can be one of the best places to find items that may be otherwise nearly impossible to find through a retailer or on the open market. Let us take a quick look at why many consumers and enthusiasts make regular use of this resource and the massive selection of replica weapons that can be found here.
The Boneyard Defined
The guns found here are unable to be sold as new or pre-owned as a result of a number of different factors. A gun may be missing a part or only be semi-functional. It may have been returned due to a defect in craftsmanship. Still, the advantages of the guns to be found here is clear. In a way, the Airsoft GI Boneyard can be though of as a sort of “mix and match” for those looking for replacement parts for an existing model. Or, there may be instances when a gun is in perfect visual shape but will not mechanically operate. These can be used as excellent prop items for movie sets or displays. Regardless of the reason, these models can be found at extremely discounted prices and the inventory changes regularly.
A Word of Caution
As these items have been returned due to a defect that is seen as not being able to be rectified, there is no warranty on any of the guns sold in the Airsoft Boneyard. This being said, this is still an amazing place to encounter hard-to-find items that may not be available on the open market. Additionally, those on a limited budget will frequently encounter some valuable parts or accessories at astoundingly bargain-basement prices.
The only aspect that exceeds the incredibly low pricing is the second-to-none selection of weapons that can be found here. In fact, those who enjoy tinkering with their guns will often encounter some true “diamonds amongst the rough” and the Boneyard is quickly gaining popularity within enthusiast groups of all ages.
