TM OEM Replacement Parts

[proffrink]

Has anyone had any experience with getting spares ordered directly through a retailer like Echigoya? I'm looking for some very specific M870 parts that aren't stocked by any retailer.

Try Eagle 6 Airsoft. www.eagle6.co.uk

 

If you don't see the parts on their website message them to see if it can be sourced.

[proffrink]

I'll give that a go. Thanks.

No reply from Eagle yet (obviously, what with it being a Sunday) but Tokyo Model just replied and asked me for an order list. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hope you find what you're looking for. Yes, let us know how it goes.

Tokyo Model have told me I need to order in 20+ quantities after I sent them the serial list:

 

 

How many are you need? Becasue original part minimum order need over 20pcs each.

Thank you

 

Bit more luck with Eagle6, who have said they're getting a large order of replacement TM parts shortly.

Recommend getting in touch with Combat South ( www.combatsouth.co.uk ) by phone or email. Very helpful shop and they specialise in TM products, and carry certain spares.

[proffrink]

Will do. Thanks.

 

Eagle6 are getting most of the parts, but not all as some are pretty expensive and there's a minimum order quantity. Still waiting on WGC.

Have you tried www.firesupport.co.uk? They have quite a few TM OEM parts. Also try ehobby Asia.

[proffrink]

Yeh, they were my first call. They don't actually have a huge range - just the very common stuff but I've used them before for Glock bits.

 

eHobby were no better.

[Alex34]

Have you asked Eagle6 about a special order? May cost you an arm and a leg but if you really need the part and cannot source it anywhere else?

 

Saying that, TM may still require the minimum quantity for the order.

[proffrink]

Yep, like I said: They're getting most of the parts I need - some would be a special order and are being added to the subsequent order list, but that's numerous months away so I'm looking to WGC for the remainder of the stuff.

[GiantKiwi]

Ordered thousands of pounds worth of stuff from Echigoya without a hitch, pretty much the best place to order TM stuff in the world.

[proffrink]

Tried them. They said I have to have bought the gun through them first and that I could only order replacements for that gun - completely contrary to what I was told last year when I ordered some replacements with them. Either way, it was tersely worded and unhelpful from them - I wasn't pleased and so I probably won't be using them again.

 

Hey guys, how do I place a TM OEM parts order with you? Thanks.

we need your recent order number. we dont give parts if you didnt buy the gun from us

That's a disappointment. I can't buy them through you at all?

 

Then no reply. And they didn't reply to the e-mail I sent them a week ago either.

https://impulse101.jp/

 

they'll sort you out.

[proffrink]

Yeh, that and the other site which is just the guy who finds parts himself is my last resort. Hopefully WGC pull through though.

 

Edit

E-mailed Impulse anyway. Let's see.

[jcheeseright]

Impulse101 order direct from TM using the parts request form in the back of the instruction manuals. WGCshop don't have a direct line to TM, they're in Hong Kong and TM only deal direct within Japan.

[proffrink]

Yup, I know how it works with them and the other Japanese retailers. What I've been told so far though is that TM have introduced a minimum order criteria of 20 per part recently - goodness knows why. That's coming from Tokyo Model as well as others in the UK.

 

I've even filled out the request form from the manual .pdf online and sent it to them with the serial numbers but apparently no cigar.

[jcheeseright]

No cigar because you're not in Japan, same for Tokyo model company who are based in Hong Kong.

[proffrink]

Understandable - WGC being there (HK) as well as others that I use. Again though, I've had the same stonewall treatment from Echigoya too which is contrary to the service I had from them last year. When did you last order?

[jcheeseright]

From impulse101, about 6 months ago but a friend put an order through for a SCAR stock catch about a month ago with no problem.

 

Haven't ever ordered a part from echigoya.

[proffrink]

Ok, cheers. I've sent them the same list I sent the rest - hopefully they can sort it out.

[proffrink]

Nothing from Impulse yet - been two days. How long do they typically take to reply to e-mails?
