Technically, I've wanted a Tanaka for about 15 years. When I first started playing airsoft, in my eyes at least a Tanaka rifle was the bee-knees. They were rare, a weird choice, moderately expensive and also had this allure of some existing 'pre-ban'. Not Asahi M40 shell-ejecting rare, but still uncommon. What probably added to that, was that at the time when I was playing, there was a sniper at my local field who had one and he totally dominated with it (mostly because he worked nights doing security on empty warehouses, so he had unlimited access to a 100m+ wind free range). I wanted one then but I never found quite what I was after, then airsoft fell by the wayside and I forgot all about them. Having restarted this year, I had a trip down memory lane and an old Facebook post reminded me of my lust for Tanakas. But finding them is even tougher these days - mostly because people who have them don't want to part with them. Chatting about Tanakas with a sniper at Battle Lakes a couple of months back and he mentioned he had a couple - one he found and one a mate sold to him when he gave up. When I saw him last week, he said he'd given it some thought and he'd sell me one as it was sitting unused. So last night, I picked up a 'pre-ban' Tanaka M700 and a few mags. Now just to wait for some good weather but hopefully not 15 years.

Got plenty gridwall & hooks but running out of space, only trouble is I like to see my pews in their entirety.

Some bits for an ongoing LCT 74 project , grip & black magazine , everything else is on its way from Redwolf , Ehobbyasia and WGC shop …. so on the bench it stays ….. Tune back in next year 😂

A nice little backplate for my Glock 45 project. (If ParcelForce ever actually get their shit together and it arrives.)

I went into the garage and remembered how much i like to modify everything i own. First thing it needed was a QD sling point on the stock. Then added a Wadsn aluminium NGAL with pressure switch. Modified the switch clamps to fit the Delta rails with original screw locations. Wiring run inside the handguard. and a bipod because i wanted to. Also with its original mounting removed and drilled to fit the Delta rail. Now ready for Sunday's fancy dress game at RIFT.

£650 ish. Unfortunately having recoils upgraded, even by well known techs is a massive money loss. I've seen multiple times of people trying to recoup their costs and their rif is for sale for months with gradual reductions until around this mark.

Drum mag for this ridiculous thing, now it's getting a bit heavy (circa 3kg)

My bog standard Marui HK 416 Delta NGRS clitoris. Nothing done to it except mini Tamiya battery connector conversion, 4x red dot sight and 2" outer barrel extension + silencer with tracer inside.

good idea

I have another wall for “open display” I just rotate them depending on what the flavour of the week is 😝

Gridwall + Gridwall hooks - Easy 👍🏼😎

You've given me an idea about how to display some pews on my grid walls, was looking at a vertical system the plugs into the mag well but they seem rarer than unicorn poo these days.

Yeah that needs stripping back and fixing eh! There’s some other little bits and pieces that need sorting - a random variety of nuts/bolts has been collected over the last 20 odd years. I’ll pick up a couple of long mags for it but the plan is to just leave it on propane and save it for Sunday best.

So, after a bit of fettling I have determined that it is the weight of the BB’s in the nuprol stock hop chamber. Im getting ZCI compression kit, ZCI barrel and plastic hop chamber. I’ll let you know how I get on

Oooooooooooooooh, a pre-ban m700 that has already been shortened (this is a good thing because stock they come with a 640mm inner barrel which joule creeps to hell!). Shame about the paint job, but a pre-ban is still a pre-ban! I've found that my m700s tend to like around 15 celcius or higher when using gas. As you get closer to 10 celcius the consistency of the gas really takes a hit, and lower than 10 celcius and it becomes unusable. The two ways around this are either co2 mags (they have issues where the power drops as you deplete the co2 bulb, but it's nowhere near as bad as the drop you get on regular gas when it's cold), or HPA tapping a few mags and embracing the hose pipe. Wherever you take it, I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoy mine! (it also feels unique as not many people run gas bolt actions. At my local site, it's just me and my friend who use them) Even though my co2 VSR has been performing amazingly well recently (and doesn't have the same co2 issues as the m700 would because it has a regulator), I have taken drastic measures because I just... prefer my m700s, how they feel and work and I want to use them, even if it's only as a backup gun during winter because my MTW is preferable. I have accepted the forbidden hose pipe because the fittings were cheap and I had magazines that I wasn't otherwise using... Will test on Sunday to see if it's okay or if I hate the air line as I tend to do, but they are air tight with no leakage. If you were going to HPA tap a magazine, do it with a long one (Action Army or King Arms) because if you want to HPA tap a short one you have to drill and thread them. The long ones you just replace the fill valve.

Hopefully these give you some reference. Fire selector is in a couple different positions. Fingers crossed you can spot something wrong!

I'm sorry, you are? I only discovered I got replied to because I was bored and went looking as to why this had been bumped.

Hawai'i 5-0 styley MK18 Like this one, innit:

It took you 7 months to think of a reply and that was the best you could come up with?

Please be wrong elsewhere. x

No word on the Gen 5 but things seem promising...

Bit that's half the fun

Yeah some things shrink in the cold, but I don't think you should stick them in airsoft guns, it's not safe..
