dirtyharry.44 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Those sights seems to be on SAA level, are they? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yea I agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyler8158 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Evil: Did you paint that at all? If not then all the pictures of it on the various retailers are doing it injustice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karam Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 What do you guys think of the Marushin S&W M629? Redwolf <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anyone know anything about this revolver? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 No painting, no nothing. All I did was photograph it rather nicely. Its....y'know I have no idea how accurate it is? Like so many of my guns I've hardly fired it because I never have any 134s gas about the place!! You really can't skirmish with 134a (except in NBB guns) so I can never usually justify the purchase Karam - that revolver is ....... weird. I have NEVER heard of it before and that page says it has blowback! in a revolver?!? Its also not on any other site that I've seen yet, madness... And it is suspiciously cheap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thechom Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 This is still mine for until someone buys it... Well, its just sold as I was posting, so woo. I'm rich! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karam Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Man this is Confusing and annoying i've found it on Redwolf and Den trinity both of which are good dealers. And its 6mm so i wouldn't have to get new BBs for it..... I just don't want to get a gun that i'll be dissatisfied with. Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Im really loving Tanakas! I just wish I could find more of them in stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Try Airsoft Global, they're not always in stock but they carry models that other retailers seem to have forgotten about Quote Link to post Share on other sites

n00b3r Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 mmmmhmmmm.... cancer gun... Just wondering, does anyone here know how to order from Yahoo! Auctions Japan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 mmmmhmmmm.... cancer gun... I thought everyone knew this by now... The words for Cancer and Gun are the same in Japanese, so the auto translators can't distinguish. Just wondering, does anyone here know how to order from Yahoo! Auctions Japan? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've never seen an item that doesn't say the seller won't ship overseas. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I was hoping for a blue finished version, but this will have to do for now. (damn WGC for the Colt logo, last time I bought from them ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawk Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Nice Python Shao! Too bad about the trademarks. Doesn't WGC simply use tape to cover them up? Or did they take extra precautions with Colt? Anyway, very nice looking finish. I've always wondered what Tanaka's silver heavyweight looks like. One question: how did the silver paint hold up when you used paint thinner for "you know what." PS: Can't wait to read your review (when it's approved). Hope the accuracy isn't too disappointing.

Shao14 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 The last time I bought a GBB from WGC, they still used tape, but evidently, that's changed now. They were careful not to damage much of the surrounding area. I'm emailing them to ask them to at least send me the medallions. Before I get a full review up, here's a few highlights: the silver finish is very good, and it won't be damaged by things like nail polish remover. Accuracy and power are both very good. The DA is quite long and hard, not as smooth as that on the little S&W M60. SA is good. Not as heavy as WGC advertised, 665g according to the manual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But seeing your review pictures it looks like they totally jacked up the "little horsey" logo on the left side. Did they scratch it off or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But seeing your review pictures it looks like they totally jacked up the "little horsey" logo on the left side. Did they scratch it off or something? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, it's permanently damaged. And the medallions are nowhere to be found in the box. One correction to my last post. The weight 665g on the manual is not for this model, I think that was for the old non-HW 6" black model. I'll need to get a scale to measure how heavy this HW model is. WGC reports it at 735g, which is pretty good for a medium sized airsoft revolver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawk Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 That sucks about the horsey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 That sucks about the horsey. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, almost made me cry. Unfortunately, no one else seems to have this model in stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fal Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 That's one of Tanaka's latest python isn it? I'm quite keen to hear how hopup behaves on it. I too wish they release in black though. I mean anything other than silver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I think Zeke makes a frame you can replace it with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
primussucks Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) I just recieved this in a trade. It too is from WGC, they destroyed alot of it not a single trade went untouched, the tip is getting its makeover tonight when i get off work. This is my first Tanaka and my first revolver. Im in love, Ive got Fathammer's broken m629 coming my way soon as well. EDIT: the shiney metal rod that sticks out from the cylinder, does that do anything on the airsoft version? what does it do on the RS, eject the spent shells?

clmwrx Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I thought the S&W m500 trademarks were registered and allowed on airsoft? Airsoft Atlanta sells theirs with full trades... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
primussucks Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 LOL if thats true ill be a little angry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clmwrx Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) All I know is I got my m500 from a store in the states that has full trades. One thing is I didn't get a silver compensator. I just got a solid orange one. Edited November 16, 2006 by clmwrx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
