The box of shells contains a small bag of 6mm BBs, a bushing wrench and muzzle cap. Whilst the manual is mainly in Japanese, there are two very interesting sections which have been left in English. The first is a diagram on the inside of the front cover explaining the differences between a and a A The second is at the back and details the various stamps to be found on the gun full marks, there!
All stamps are positioned correctly using the correct fonts. Please note that a few years ago I dropped the magazine thereby breaking the protruding lip at the bottom of the magazine and have repaired this using an epoxy adhesive, strengthening the join using a small coin 25 satang!
The grips are made of brown plastic and are of the correct design for an MA1. They are weighted and held securely in place.
The outer barrel is made of black plastic. One slight difference hence 9. Again, the attention to detail is amazing. The magazine has a solid feel to it and fits securely in place; pressing the release button will allow the magazine to fall under its own weight. The pistol is single-action only and both the grip and trigger safeties are identical to the original. However, unlike the original if I remember rightly? The slide locks-back after the last round is fired and may be released by either pressing down on the slide stop or by pulling back further on the slide thereby causing the stop to fall.
The Tokyo Marui MA1 may be field stripped in a similar fashion to the cartridge firing original, the only real difference being that if the barrel bushing is rotated with the spring assembly in place the plug will not slide out.
Instead, to disassemble the airsoft version, you first remove the magazine, then align the slide stop with the notch in the slide, remove the slide stop, separate the slide and frame, remove the spring and guide rod followed by the plug, rotate the bushing a tool is provided, but finger strength is all that is required and finally slide the barrel assembly out the front.
Gas is filled via the valve in the base of the magazine. There is a burst of gas from the valve when the magazine is full. This latest pistol should be interesting as it will challenge WA's lineup of framed pistols on price and performance!
Airsoft Surgeon 6. Product Specification. The Tokyo Marui is more then just a pistol, it is an institution in itself.
The classic styling is something the rings out in the halls of yesteryears weaponry, the single stack magazine style placing the slim grip in a decades old ergonomically unique feel and the simplicity of its mechanism begs for reliable action. Full size removable metal magazine, metal hammer, trigger, and safety switches. From within normal engagement ranges, the pistol is very accurate and the blowback kick is clear and strong.
The magic of that Marui hop-up means that despite its relatively low power it will still range like the best of them. The design of this particular gun uses a significant amount of gas per shot and has a slim gas resevoir, so a fully charged magazine contains just enough gas to empty all BBs in the magazine under normal warm temperature conditions.
Improperly charging the magazine to less than its maximum capacity, cold weather or not topping it up between reloads may potentially mean that you will not be able to shoot all BBs out on one charge of gas. That said, we feel that any short comings in this design small price to pay for the extremely impressive performance that rivals or dare we say even exceeds many other pistols to the point that Tokyo Marui can hold up their venerable as the standard by which all other such patterned GBB pistols can be compared.

Metal parts include the sear and trigger assembly, spring housing, the hop-up and inner barrel, the slide stop, spring guide, plug, bushing and piston housing. The plastic parts are made of a thick, durable plastic ABS?
I assume the metal parts are made of some kind of alloy since they are not attracted to a magnet. Over time, they have become slightly discoloured, but still remain perfectly smooth and have proved to be very hard wearing I think at some point I must have applied a small amount of Moly-lube to the metal rails.
As to my overall impression, I think the total score speaks for itself! It is a pleasant pistol to shoot and one which stands alone when it comes to visual authenticity. Cybergun Tanfoglio Witness review. Umarex Colt review. Best replica pistols — part 2. Pingback: Which is the best replica pistol?
Part 2 The Pistol Place. Nicely done! Any ideas where I might be able to get those? Probably the Internet for targets, even if those particular ones are not there. I would have thought most airsoft shops would have spare ones available. ATVB, Adrian. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
