visionviper Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 IIRC, the First Factory 6.03mm tightbore for the Tanaka M700 (this product) works with the KJW M700. I am planning to purchase it soon, so I just want to make sure that it will work in my KJW M700. EDIT: Oh, and I am 99.999% sure this has been covered before, but I couldn't find the thread, so if anyone does find it, I would like to read it. Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I am working from memory here, so someone please correct me if I am wrong. As far as I remember, the Tanaka barrels are different. The KJW has a more AEG style hop apeture on its barrel, rather than the 'round hole' that the Tanaka barrels have, so I dont think they will be compatible. but that said, the hop housing for the KJW is 'almost' identical to the Tanaka one, and the two can be interchangeable, so I think it would be possible to get the Tanaka hop housing, Tanaka rubbers and the tightbore barrel and get it all to fit. hopefully someone with a KJW and a Tanaka in front of them can confirm this. Either that, or post some pics in here so I can have a nose. Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 with the KJW chamber, you can modify PSG1 barrels to fit (PSG1 due to the length) i have one in my KJW M700. chef, thats interesting... you mean i can swap my KJ's hopup with a tanaka one? that would give me improved accuracy, would it not?

The Chef Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Well from what I remember the actual metal bit that surrounds the barrel and contains the rubber is a two peice affair in the KJW, but in its external dimensions its the same as the Tanaka one (which is one peice). So they 'should' be interchangeable. It is of my opinion that the KJW hop would be more consistent than the stock Tanaka system anyway (I dont rate it much) due to it being a more enclosed type rubber. It may be possible to fit a Tanaka barrel with a BGS rubber (which I do rate, very highly) inside your existing hop housing. If you can get some pics of the KJW hop housing and some dimensions in MM then I can measure mine up and confirm this for you. Link to post Share on other sites

visionviper Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Does anyone know the answer to the above question? Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 it requires milling of new grooves around the hop area to fit inside the KJW chamber, but im not sure where exactly Link to post Share on other sites
visionviper Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Sirrith, did you upgrade your M700 yourself, or did you have someone else do the work? Link to post Share on other sites
