Ming Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Only form I know of is the Maruishin conversion kit, it MAY be possible to convert one to airsoft usage: http://airsoftglobal.com/product_info.php?...roducts_id=5837 Oooh! Thanks for that, I've been trying to track one of those kits down for a while. Not sure how feasbile conversion is but I'm willing to take a punt on it. Ming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I didn't find my paint job quite shiny enough so I gave it an extra coat and polished it until I got a cramp. The extra coat messed up with the action but I got it to work in the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

junior Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Any tips how to get the orange off in the engraved text? You can slightly see it below. Goof Off/ Goo Gone and Q-tips. Works like a charm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedingo Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 It's a revolver....I swear. j/k Really, I just posted to say: WatZ, that's a really nice 65. I'm kinda jealous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WatZ Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 What the deuce?! The m65 is great look wise but performance is a bit low. The m500 tho is the kind of the opposite. Midnight blue: One more to come if I can clean her up a bit. I'll try the goo-gone Junior, thanks bro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfstein5 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 It's a revolver....I swear. I was hoping that a Maverick Rev-6 would be something cooler than a Nerf gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedingo Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I was hoping that a Maverick Rev-6 would be something cooler than a Nerf gun. But no I'm working on converting it though. Some sort of revolving shotgun type deal.... replace the nerf darts w/ inner barrels loaded w/ 5 BBs each or something like that, with a tiny, almost hopup like nub to keep them in.

Solid Snake Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Very nice, Kirby. I'm working on the same thing, with a WE 1911 for backup, tucked inside my shoulder bag. You get to wear it to any games yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Involved6 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) My Tanakas, both the "Limited Edition" Midnight Gold: This one already has 2 kills in 1 day under her belt. This one has yet to be tried, but I love it already! How many rounds does the SW500 hold? A friend of mine who has the chief's special said his only held 6 extra, and Redwolf seems to confirm that, but it looks like a double-stacker or something in there. Also, Any Ideas for a holster. PM me if you know anything about either point! Edited July 17, 2008 by Involved6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seppuku Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 The Tanaka M500s hold one shy of a dozen BBs. There is a reservoir in the cylinder that holds 6, plus one in each of the 5 "chamber" holes. Although, I thought I could fit a baker's dozen in my M500. I'd need to check....

Involved6 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 That's ok, no check needed. 11 was the number confirmed by redwolf and that friend of mine, so it makes plenty of sense. I was just wondering. Chances are, if you haven't hit em in 11 shots, 2 more won't mean much The accuracy of this pistol is less than tops, but I think it needs some breaking in.

judgeman Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 LOVE the SAA Involved. Gonna plop a pre-order down on the new Tanaka shell-fed one as soon as I can. As a side note, look into a leather holster. Revolvers deserve the best =D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Involved6 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) As a side note, look into a leather holster. Revolvers deserve the best =D I have a quickdraw holster for the SAA, its been fairly broken in, and so is fairly acceptable for field use without excessive fear of loss (though I did have a near miss at my league's Firefly event here last week. I'm thinking of rigging up a small retention system for it, just in case, as it IS brown, so If I did lose it, I'd be screwed! For the SW500, though... I need a good combat holster that would fit in on an OD-based rig/uniform - I know finding a "combat holster" is tough for a pistol that is not, nor has ever been the combat pistol for any army ever. But there's gotta be SOMETHING! Edited July 21, 2008 by Involved6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
