Ledpocket Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 evil, the nitro vo rail comes with a new front sight block (with no sight) so you take the original off and bolt theirs on. It's a pretty sweet kit. On to my latest. I have taken the plastic barrel off of my new tanaka, and constructed an aluminum one. Front sight has been omitted to comply with the fast draw style and after the sanding / paint job: This gun makes me want to rustle some cattle Another pic of the sas for comparison Nitro vo kit, metal body... It is unfortunate that they don't include a front bushing for the barrel, but expect you to use the threaded outer from the sas. To get the nice flat front, you have to leave somewhat of a gaping hole (or make up a bushing) Link to post Share on other sites
Vicks Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 very sexy revolver Led like the mp5 sas type thing as well, tempted to have a crack it myself. Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Led, do you get medals for your work? If not, why not? That's a great fast draw special, am I remembering correctly that it's a cheaper Tanaka that you can get over there; the regular Tanaka fast draw had a gold/brass cylinder didn't it? Ace job on the barrel and especially the layer of paint, looks perfect. And just like you Vicks, I'm tempted to try and get a G3 SAS and a solid stock onto the `buy list` (I'm constantly cheating myself and adding stuff to it, as I get the guns and tick them off there's always one more to add ) I just can't trust myself, far less so when you guys keep showing off these great projects! You devils, you Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Led, do you get medals for your work? If not, why not? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just the fame and adoration of my fans The tanaka is the cheap "jungletoy" version, procured off of ebay. Less than $100 (well, over after shipping... $106). But, real wood grips (no fake pearl ones in this kit, like the "official" jt gun, though) After looking at all the different tanaka saa's at the various retailers, I decided to give the low cost version a try. No trades, an interesting combo of chrome and black, but it appears to be the same basic gun (based on reviews of both types). The single action is very satisfying to operate and hopefully this coming week I'll have a western quick draw holster so I can practice up on my twirling. The sas is also a good gun IMO, as long as you don't get hung up on the unrealistic cocking tube length. Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 *fawns over Ledpocket* Yup, the adoring fans flock to your very door, I can just see it now; even you at the front door fighting them off with sticks and everything I wouldn't have rated a Tanaka knock-off myself but you seem to have a great gun, it certainly looks the part and I just hope it was made in a similar vein to the original and that you have a good gun for a long time to come The SAS cocking tube issue simply isn't, as far as I'm concerned. It might be a problem if they ever did anything in airsoft anyway (KSC HK33 excepted) Link to post Share on other sites
