That's a M24... not a M40

Your right, my bad. ](*,)  If I remember right Red Wolf had the M40 body kits. I know they have some Tanaka M40s too.

Expect to dump close to 1000$ into one before it shoots right, the tanakas that is.

Define "shoot right".  Out of the box they shoot better than most guns on the field.

have to disagree with that, obviously you know that.

The Tanaka hop up system was a novel idea in the way it works but didn't succeed. The FPS variations using propane or GG is too wild from shot to shot.

The $1000 includes the gun its self(about 550 after shipping for most of them),

VSR conversion - $100
VSR Rubber - $20
VSR barrel - $100
etc etc.. it adds up.

Out of the box you can make 100-150ft shots but if you want to go out there to 200, 250, 300+ you need some work..

I think you have teh Tanaka's confused with your KJW's again.

Nope, actually the KJW hop design is "better" since it already uses a VSR bucking.

So you say, but you are still the only person I've ever met who tries to claim KJW shoot better out of the box than Tanaka's.  More importantly, I don't know of anyone who's seen evidence of this.

I don't think they shoot better out of the box, but they are a cheaper platform to start with if you end up replacing most stuff anyways.

I think most people who spend $600 on a gas rifle that ends up shooting only "ok" out of the box are pissed to admit it. I've seen a few that were ok but owning half a dozen over the years myself, never were impressed by their accuracy.

I've never owned one where I felt the need to replace most of the stuff or even much of it.  That's not to say the stock gun can't be improved upon but I've always found them even in stock form able to outperform just about anything on the field.  The majority of the people who only thing they shoot "ok" out of the box are people who don't understand the limitations of airsoft.  I can count on one hand the number of people I know who have owned a Tanaka and been flat out unhappy with it.

I agree with XavierMace. I've only owned one, and out of the box, it outshot most of the rifles on the field. Everyone I've talked to however, all agree that Tanaka is the better way to go.
