When does it get here
?
Hopefully to be my
next purchase, assuming I can find a supplier with one in stock. I’m after the
M500SSB in black (gas version), with the valve upgrade and a spare pistol grip.
That way I’ll have a full stock grip and a pistol grip that I can interchange
for different scenarios. I’m planning on buying it from RedWolf,
assuming they have it in stock, and I don’t find a better deal in the UK. (update
February 17, 2001 RedWolf don’t have it in stock, and won’t have it for ages)

The rifle comes in The ‘Shorty’ version You can then get these |
There are also
options from Marushin to have full-wood grips and stocks. These do look rather
nice, but they add a hefty 10% or so to the price, and as I’m not made of money,
I’m going to stick to the straight matt-black rifle. Again, these options can
be found at most retail websites, particularly RedWolf,
(Added February
17, 2001) From speaking to various folks, and doing a bit of web research
I’ve found out a few things. Apparently ‘SSB’ is Marushin’s hop-up system,
I’ve got no idea how it works, but I assume that there will be images and a
manual in the box when I get it.
The ammo (150
bb’s) is loaded into the lower barrel in 3 separate inner barrels, and after
you have fired the first 50, you have to turn the lower barrel 1/3 of a turn,
to fire the next set, and so on. I also gather that it can fire 3-5 rounds,
I don’t know if this is variable, or if different models fire different amounts.
I also found
what I believe to be the correct gas valve upgrade from ANGS
– see below.

There’s a nice review with
images of the spring shorty version, at the Team
TANGO website.
You can find another review
at the ‘Southern
California Airsoft League’ website. It’s a review of the spring action shorty
– but still worth a read.
