the price is higher. I notice it now says steel finish. Mine was the 'heavy duty' version. Not sure of the difference.

I purchased it online, from a company called Octagon Airsoft: https://www.octagonairsoft.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; who are based in Hong Kong. Like I said, they sold out pretty much straight away. They shipped over to me in the UK. I had duty/VAT to pay on arriva...

Alternatively you can look for the gold medallion grips on eBay and other sites. I picked up a perfect pair there... MARK Thanks for the suggestion. I just had a quick look. I couldn't see any available to the UK that looked exactly right. I might give the transplant a go but if I see the perfect g...

I'm not sure if I can name sellers on here but suffice to say they went out of stock.

when I'm feeling braver I might give that a go

The gold medallions are correct and if you are able to swap these out then it will certainly make it more accurate. I'm not sure I'm brave enough, or skilled enough, to take something like a Dremel to the wooden handles to slightly enlarge the medallion recess, in order to fit the plastic gold ones...

Wood, Nice score. Do you mind sharing where you ordered it? :TOH: The gun was ordered from a Hong Kong store who happened to get a small number back in stock. I was tipped off by a guy on a Cosplay group on Facebook. The stock went within 24 hours! I'm not sure if I can name sellers on here but suf...

Things to watch .,.. the barrel is sadly the plastic part but looks the business as they blue it to match the body .. it can tend to wear off on the muzzle ends ... especially with a holster. There is also one screw about 2mm across on the frame above the handgrip that seems prone to dislodging ......

Another photo with a wooden handle added to replace the plastic parts that came with it, giving a better feel and slightly more weight in the handle. Only slight: 762g. Shame about the silver, slightly smaller medallion. The plastic one had a larger gold one which was more accurate maybe?

Without any 'ammo' it weighs approximately 738g

So this arrived today, a Tanaka Smith & Wesson N-frame series M1917 Hand Ejector 2nd Five Screw cal. 455 4inch Custom Heavy Weight Is this fairly close to the gun used in Raiders? It was the only Tanaka I could get my hands on. There seems to be several versions but this is the only one I've see...

This is nice to see. I've just ordered a similar Tanaka (4" version) and I'm also in the UK, so waiting patiently to see if it lands. But assuming it does, if it looks half as good as yours, I'll be very happy indeed
