There's a gas one? Only one I know of is the discontinued VSR clone.

There's very little info on their site but what there is suggests it runs on Green Gas and comes with a chunk of camo netting http://socomgear.com/english/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=30

I see. However it has been cleared up now. The guy was mistaken by the previous owner that it was a Sodom Gear R700 when really it was a KJW M700.
Just got puzzled as I know there is a spring Sodom and Gear R700 but didn't know there was a gas.

Socom* mobiles auto correct can be a pain..

KJW M700s are decent, but if you can afford it Tanaka M700s are much better
DEDSEC
Don't they retail for around £400?
TacMaster
The tanaka? Under that, the M24 is the only one that breaks £380. The M700 series and the L96 type rifle retail for less
DEDSEC
Any big difference between the Tanaka and the KJW M700?
TacMaster
The KJW has a very wide bore barrel as stock (6.10 or something daft) so it needs a replacement; I believe the Tanaka has a tightbore as stock (not 100% sure though) and the Tanaka uses a proprietary hop unit, rubber and barrel whereas the KJW uses a VSR rubber. The KJW M700 can take AEG barrels but they need a groove cut into them just in front of the hop window for the VSR rubber to fit onto it.
TacMaster
KJW mags also tend to be terrible and Tanaka mags are much better. They're all compatible with each other but you'd be paying £50 or over for a long Tanaka mag (the long mags give the best performance as they can hold a higher volume of gas and more than 10 BBs)
DEDSEC
Is there a conversion kit for the KJW to accept standard AEG barrels like the Tanaka?
TacMaster
Yeah, there's one which allows VSR barrels to fit the Tanaka (http://www.evike.com/products/28726/) but I don't think there are any VSR barrels long enough for the rifle. You're best bet would be to buy a PSG-1 barrel and cut a groove into it for the 'lips' of the hop rubber to fit into. I can supply you with measurements from my stock KJW M700's barrel. The best way to do this is on a centre lathe, however I'd heard of people putting the barrel into 2 rotating bea...
TacMaster
Bearings and spinning the barrel with a power drill while cutting the groove with a dremel
DEDSEC
Wow a lot of work huh? You own a KJW M700 then I assume? Would it be pointless to by that conversion you linked for the KJW? First time with a gas sniper you see. For the three years that I used a sniper rifle they were all spring.
DEDSEC
Buy* my apologies.
TacMaster
That conversion kit's for the Tanaka to use a standard VSR barrel and hop rubber, the KJW can use them anyway. And yes, I own one- I'm currently going through the process of making mine useable as a squad level marksman rifle, it's only really possible to use them as dedicated sniper rifles with an HPA or Nitrogen rig propelling the BB
DEDSEC
Any ideas on how to set up a HPA rig?
TacMaster
involves a fair amount of machining. Unrustle Thine Jimmies knows what parts to buy for an HPA conversion, as does PT247 (he's got his KJW M700 up for sale with an HPA converted magazine included, all you'll have to buy is a compressor and a line for it
