Hustie Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Ah, I figured something along those lines but I wasn't completely sure. I suppose the fact that I filed down the valve knocker a smudge to be smooth is what caused it. thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
tome Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Question for all you G&G powerpack users I've installed the plunger and knock arm in one of my mags and I think the plunger might be sticking out too far at the back becuase the mag has become difficult to push in and will sometimes release a little gas just before it clicks into place. Has anyone else found this? As a comparison, the KA plunger i have in another mag is recessed a little from the back of the mag, whereas the g&g one is nearly flush. THe KA equipped mag will slide in smoothly. Cheers PS - The g&g cocking peice that comes with the pack fits and works fine in my AICS Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I take it you screwed the knock arm (the plunger being the 90 degree bit) in all the way? and left off the striker plate from the original mag. when I did mine, I found that the G&G Plungers kept the valve open a little, so I replaced them with the originals. Worked fine after that. Link to post Share on other sites
tome Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Oh I've always thought the plunger was the bit that sticks out the back because of this http://cgi.ebay.com/King-Arms-M700-M24-Str...1713.m153.l1262 but thinking about it it makes more sense that the knock arm is knocked hehe. Yeah i screwed the knock arm in as much as i could. My one for some reason didn't have a hole in the side to help screw the two parts together. Is that normal for the g&g one? I used the plunger from the set and there is no leaking. What i have found is that the KA equiped mag i have, i can push the knock arm in a bit before the plunger would start to pull the valve down, but the g&g equiped mag the knock arm will activate the plunger from the start. Do most powerpack users not use the g&g plungers? Link to post Share on other sites
Hustie Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I have a g&g powerpack, I use the included knock arm, although I have noticed the problem you're talking about. However I only get it every now and then, when I put the mag in a bit of gas escapes. Its wasn't really a big deal on my gun, the arm is very slightly recessed (about 1mm maybe) and it works fine 95% of the time. Maybe a small amount of detail filing is order if you want to use the g&g part? Anyways, I got my BGS part 91, it doesn't really seem to be a whole lot sturdier than the tanaka bit, but the fact that its metal just brings my confidence in the rifle up. I know that sounds a bit naff, but the plastic part 91 was one of the only bits in my tanaka I ever though was going to break and having a metal replacement just makes the rifle seem industructable, even if the performance isn't really improved. I also got some straight .36's in the same order and shall hopefully post a report on them sometime this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
ianhaz Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Would be interested depending on price, ofcourse. Looks nice Link to post Share on other sites
May contain nuts Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks for your comment ianhaz - still waiting on a quotation for a run of these. My engineering firm don't exactly move quickly. Will let you know when I do. Link to post Share on other sites
May contain nuts Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Just to add here that this adapter (V1.0) will not work with the VSR conversion kit as the VSR 555mm barrel falls short in comparison to the Tanaka barrel V2.0 of this silencer adapter will be the VSR conversion barrel end plug with a 14mm negative thread added. Will add more info here as I get it. Link to post Share on other sites

The Bushman Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I had already worked out the V1 was no good for the VSR conversion. However, if you are doing a longer version, I would be interested (I believe AICS has same diameter outer barrel as the m40a1). Perhaps even take 2, if the price is OK.

thewallhitme Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 what can people tell me about the TANAKA L96 (non AICS version). is it any better stock than the AICS? and would it have PCS stock? edit: there is an AICS for sale for £145 (my dad will buy it as he is registered) but it needs a replacement screw to hold the bolt in. would tht part be hard to source or expensive? Link to post Share on other sites
tome Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm unaware of any screw that holds the bolt "in" there are two very short screws that hold the two halves (front/back) together. I can imagine they would be quite difficult to find. Though i have managed to get some odd spares from ZeroOne. The tiny spring that retracts the striker in the m700s broke on my AICS and Z1 managed to get me a replacement after about a month or so. Link to post Share on other sites
TDS Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 There arent any screws that hold the bolt "in" unless its the latch that stops the bolt from sliding all the way out when you cock it (wouldnt be an issue if you only cock it a few inches like a sane person) There's an exploded diagram of the M700 action around somewhere in here, check it out and have the person identify the screw. Otherwise all you need to do is take it to a machine shop or anywhere else that can tell you what size threads it has, and get a little baggie of them off mcmaster.com for a few bucks.

thewallhitme Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 cheers for the help guys. i think the guy who is selling it means the screw that hold the little latch tht stops the bolt from falling out but im not sure. turns out it wasnt an AICS though, it was the newer tanaka L96. it got me all exited til i found that it doesnt have a PCS.

xdwarfx Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 well i hope you guys can help me out here. I haven't found it yet on the forum so im asking here. I have a Tanaka M700 Police (no PCS) and i have installed the BSG hopup set including extended nozzle. Everything works great except when i cycle the last BB the nozzle bumps against the BB, the BB then rolls in the barrel, and the nozzle doesnt push it in the barrel because the nozzle gets stuck against the thing that pushes the BB's up. Anyone?? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
magictomcat Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 had the same prob,you need to sand the peice that push bbs,in your mag,so the nozzle slip on it,but its made of a cheap metal so it will be dented again Link to post Share on other sites
xdwarfx Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Thanks that did the trick now i'm looking for a precision barrel but no one seems to have a 639 mm in stock. Any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance guys Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance guys you can go + or - a few mm if you need to, the guns arent /that/ picky about barrel length if supply is tight, must make sure you measure how deeply your Inner is inside the cap at the end so you dont go too short and have to tape up a solution.

magictomcat Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 buy the pax hop and a 555 vsr barrel^^ seriously think about it before buying a barrel that you might change in a few months Link to post Share on other sites

pedrosalas7 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 try phoning dees, they get really swamped with emails and sometimes it's get hard for them to respond to all of them, i asked them about it because i also spent a lot of time trying to reach them... i bought the pax unit from 8zero8 here, i highly recomend you buy it from him...

angelmaker Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well I recently came across a Tanaka Preban M40 I know the PCS system is some where on the bolt could someone send me a pic of what screw or knob or whatever I need to turn to change the fps? Link to post Share on other sites
