Safeword Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Got myself a Tanaka SAA 3" sheriff's model today, love how short it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johny_blaze Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I kind of want one, though I like more the version with the bird's head grip tanaka released some time ago but it's out of stock everywhere (nor do I have the spare cash for a third SAA) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Not a bird's head, but it sure addresses your second problem. http://www.wgcshop.com/products?search_From=searchItem&item=tanaka-saa-revolver-sheriff-model-3-inch&search=special&rs=Saa&catid=&cat=&view_choice=a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johny_blaze Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 You evil man I just bought a Scorpion Evo, but maybe next month... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Next month?!? Good god man, it might not be on sale next month. Or maybe they'd have run out. Sometimes rational spending just doesn't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Safeword Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I actually bought mine from that WGC sale, I also considered the birdshead version but I could only find it on Kic but the price quote I got with shipping to Norway was to much for me, I cant understand how they find the price in dollars, they say they use the current currency but 7950 TWD is not over 300 dollar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes rational spending just doesn't work. Well techincally next month starts this friday TBH If Tanaka had released something like this instead of the Sheriff model I would have bought it looong time ago Edited June 28, 2016 by johny_blaze Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Lucky you then. http://www.kic.com.tw/shop/product_info.php?info=p11887_TANAKA-COLT-Single-Action-Revolver---1st-Gen----Birds-Head---3-Inch---Black.html&XTCsid=0b4e58e1e18e56f8865a1c401f973a36 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johny_blaze Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Yeah I know about this one, I meant with an ejector rod and 3.5 inch barrel (or so I think). Looks much better imo. Edited June 28, 2016 by johny_blaze Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Looks good but pretty much pointless as it would only eject the empty casings by about 1/8" at most. Maybe you can cannibalize this for it though. http://www.dentrinityshop.com/pr_details.jsp?pid=18759 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johny_blaze Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Yeah, I know it's pointless but still... If I ever decide to build the gun above I'd probably get the bird's head sheriff model from KIC and order a new frame and ejector trough Impulse and try to modify/shorten it. Seems easier and cheaper than getting the HWS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Has anyone ever barrel converted one of those .177 BB co2 revolvers to a 6mm barrel? They use the same shells, just wondering if it's possible. Reason: am willing to murder someone for a co2 shell fed S&W R8, and one is not forthcoming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heroshark Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I had the exact same thought scorch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solid Snake Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I know they converted a bunch of the SAA's to 6mm, as I picked up a pair from Redwolf in the "antique" finish. Shoot pretty darn well, I'll have to take some chrono readings this weekend. Here's a link to one of them. http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Gas_Blow_Back_Pistols_Umarex_Umarex_RWC_Custom_SAA_45Co2_Metal_Revolver_6mm_BB_Blue_Brown.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I believe he meant these. Not as easy to convert but possible at least in theory. https://www.amazon.com/Umarex-USA-Smith-Wesson-R8/dp/B00CUNLQZS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I do like. After market grips I take it too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Nah, those are the grips that come with the 4" model. 2.5" and 6" have their own different sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Safeword Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Here is my revolver trio, hoping to expand the collection soon Marushin Mateba 2006m Tanaka S&W M500es Tanaka Colt SAA Sheriff's model Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I really like that! How does it perform RC? Worth it? Not that great out of the box, but considering they can be had for under $100 in some places it's a bargain. I've since put in a KM TN barrel and harder valve o-ring to get the fps up to 290 and shimmed the hop rubber a bit to suit .25g better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I cant recall if I ever posted this. Its a Wingun Nagant with a custom short barrel. (With a terrible paintjob). I also did a semi decent fixed hopup on the inside. Still shoots way too hot for field use though which is a shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
