Well im board now ive just finished my latest custom Tanaka M24 flutted barrel version , i struggled to find one of these, they were a limited run ,so only so many made with the flutted barrel.

Anyways let me know what you think ,

Its running a 6.03 vsr type inner barrel 555mm ,a nine ball bucking ,milled endcap that i had to lathe down to fit , stiker spring and impact plates ,+gas router springs ,oh and its just sent a .4bb (gaurder) out to the same 2 foot square target ,with the un-restricted bolt

Well i still havent bought my laser rangefinder which i promised myself , and i havent cronoed it yet (worries) but the target was between 85-90 metres way accross the back garden

[Riotharmus]

very nice bit of kit.. looks like it should be sat up on a rooftop overlooking some innocent (or not) victim..

[I XEcUtiONeR I]

So wait... you're getting a 2ft grouping at 85-90 meters? o_O
Holy ######!

Impressed with the gun......even more impressed with the garden (85-90 mtrs), looks deadly Doc, how long before your selling it for another project?

[doc]

Not selling this one (for a long time tbh) took me ages to find one

[Riotharmus]

a do believe we have what is technically known as a "keeper" lol

Looks a cracker Doc, whats the spec on your scope set up?
Also, how would an out of the box version compare?

All the best with the little one, sleep when you can, Its a tag team effort

Cheers Steve

Scope is a M3 clone but i wanted one with a certain reticule http://demigodllc.com/photo/PAWNEE/inline_..._2061_img_c.jpg

Scope rings are 30mm quick detatch

Out of the box Tanakas have all the power ( 3 types restricted 400 max , unrestricted A LOT ! and power control system from 300 fps on 134a pcs closed %90 of the way to ALOT on propane and pcs open %85 of the way )

The tanaka hop unit is just god awefull out of the box , there are a few ways to sort this ,, the biro mod (use a piece of biro to act as the hop nub ) the bgs hop kit ,used aeg type bucking , or pax kit using the airseal buckings and vsr(awesome type hop)

As for sleep god i need it , me and the wife both looking after each other ,there have benn a few momments but its all good

Cheers Doc, I could be back in touch about all that

Further imput


Finally got chance to use my Palmers inline co2 regulator with my m24 tonight and well as its late i will upload the images tomorrow ,but heres my take on what i did saw and felt



So the palmers rig ,dead simple a reulator that drops the pressure of a co2 12g bulb from 900 psi to (mines set for lowest pressure ) 0-300 psi ,now most tanakas mags will only take 150 psi before the mag will explode of just fail . ...
Propane runs around 85 psi at 15oC and the fps results i got from propane with my pcs bolt 1/2 closed were around 500 fps give or take 5 ither side of the figure , but as the mags warmed and cooled the fps fluctuated so shot consistancy changed ,still anything inside 60 metres was almost a %90 dead cert hit on a man side target but further a field there may have been problems , so back to the reg setup.. i taped a long 29 round mag with a 1/8 bps quick detatct coupling and then the same to the rig ,loaded the mag ,inserted the co2 bulb and pressured the mag ,Bang one mag regulated for 80 psi , ..to the crono

10 rounds ,485 485 485 486 486 483 484 487 486 485 ,,seem consistant to you ?

Range every shot landed on a 3 foot square at 81 metres (a window of my office block )

So 85 psi is now what the rifle will be set at at every event as that hits the magic 500 fps target

I have images of a 9 inch roses tin lid (yes the chocaltes ) at 51 metres and the grouping seen is impressive
