KJW M700
 

Hello all airsofters,
I've seen the reviews for the Tanaka clone. They all looked good. Now I have to ask of people that snipe, have one or seen one in action:
1)How good is it to have a gas operated rifle?
2)Does it support propane?
3)Any recoil?
4)2x 11bbs mags are enough?
3)$400 price worth it?
5)Should you take off the front sight?
6)How optics can be attached to the gun and what size the threading is for a suppressor attachment?
7)Can you modify the fps on the m700?
Thank you all beforehand,
Danny

1. the pull is extremely easy (compared to spring rifles)
2. Yes it supports propane
3. no recoil
4. hmmm, in a game you might need 4, depending what type of game ur mostly in, and the amount of people (more the people, longer the game)
5. I'm sure they don't cost 400 bucks, Fandango sells them for 310 i think. (you must be aged verified)
6. yes, the front sight should be remove if you want to install a scope, plus..it just looks childish : )

thing shoots stupidly hard unless you turn it down

Thanks all for your postings,
Droc what do you mean by "turn it down"
don't get it...would that be your answer?

It refers to tuning down the velocity, for example using a velocity reducer. It actually does shoot stupidly hard, much like the CO2 powered .177 pellet guns from Canadian Tire (and in some cases, much harder).

It can be adjusted for fps output internallu is what he means. Take the bolt apart, remove a few screws, give the striker spring rod a turn with a screwdriver, put back toagether, etc.

Easiest is to just use duster, that'll get you between 400-450fps easily on hot days. When it's like +10-15C, use propane, just be careful of engagement distances (and keep your mags in your pocket to keep them usable if temp is around +10C). It'll work fine all day long that way.

Bob, velocity reducer won't fit/work on the M700, there are no threads to mount one.

Ah... touché.
Didn’t know that, there aren’t any hereabouts that I know of… I hope to get one, actually. I’ll be researching for a while…

For the price, they are quite worth it!!! Any questions I can help.

Is a VSR-10 better than KJW m700 considering accurrecy/range/price/upgrades...so on?
Thanks,
Danny

VSR-10 is spring, the KJW Rem 700 is gas. Apples and oranges. For the price...I don't think you can really beat a sniper rifle for $300.

M700 question
 

For all those KJW m700 owners out there, how easy is it to disassemble this rifle? Can you remove the stock from the action? would I be able to take this gun apart for painting with few tools? can the action be seperated from the barrel with ease?

thanks for replys in advance... I am thinking of getting this gun when I have the money after Xmass.

Dasta

It's easy to take it apart for painting.

Ya, first sling stud gets unscrewed (best to allow the barrel to sit free, will say why later) from the aluminum mount attached to the barrel (this should be removed because in very commom cases, the outer barrel and inner barrel are slightly bent in order to sit straight in the stock....... case in point, my barrel is free flaoted and sits canted to the left a bit, but greatly improves the accuracy and consistancy), then unscrew the screw in front of the mag well, and the one behind the trigger, presto chango, stock in one hand and the receiver/barrel in the other!

Snipers,
Someone was suggesting of putting a "G&G m700/m24/m40 striker spring", so you won't have the "hit hard" problem?
And BTW it's called "G&G Striker Spring for TANAKA M700/M24", long last found it.
Find it here:

Ideas?
So, if the turn down counter-clockwise thing and is not gonna work for you just install the striker spring instead of your old spring, even cut a few coils if fps is too high. Got to get it somewhere between 400fps-450fps with 0.xg(suggested for sniping i think is 0.36g), which is the limit for the games I been in. And the "G&G m700/m24/m40 striker spring" is nowhere to be found. Anyone else got any smart ideas cuz i don't?

Thx all,
Danny

velocity isn't 400-450 fps for 0.Xg BBs "for sniping".

It's 400-450 fps with whatever weight BB the club/field you're at stipulates.

Here in Vancouver I believe it's with .25's, so the velocities will be slower with higher weight BB's (which is fine, they still hurt...)

If it was 400-450 fps with whatever weight you chose, you could pick .45s, chrono, then use lighter BBs on the field to achieve unfriendly velocities...

As for what the spring does, I don't know.

I was the one who suggested putting the tanaka striker spring in. It WASN'T to drop the velocity down, it's only to improve the flow consistancy between each shot. I got the info from Dispatch at Airsoft Retreat (he knows the gun inside, out and backwards, as well as the CA M24 V2).

I did my chrony testing after I cut the 1.5-2 coils from my present spring. As I said, use duster when the temp is over +25C (the day I did it, was about +36C or so, hottest day of the year, and tetraflouroethane duster gave me just under 450fps with 0.20g BBs), in between +15C and +25C, use your own discretion, and below +15C, use propane. This is all relative, not fact, just my opinion on running a safe yet effective gun on the field. My M700 ran great on propane last game day, and it was about +10C.

I have ordered that Tanaka spring from WGC (next team group order). It's a mere $4US.

CDN_Stalker and all,
Is it necessary to install the G&G striker spring? Or can you live without it? An SP100(170%) Guarder would work with m700s or is just for AEGs?
Danny

People,
Could find G&G striker string in GTA, or you have to order it?
Danny

Not a chance in hell an AEG spring is going to work in the KJW m700. AEG's use a spring to push a piston, to compress air, to propel a BB. A gas gun uses a spring to force a hammer to open a valve releasing gas to propel a BB. The difference in the physical size of the springs alone is huge.

aha..get it now....the spring adjust I mean.....
Hi all,
What problems does the m700 clone have? Read about the cocking thing being locked and not the trigger ....that true?
Also, someone was saying when cocking and the barrel is tilted forward, BBz just roll down the barrel..that true?
For low temperatures -20C to 20C, what gas to use propane, green?
In what situation would you use duster?
Snipers, what BBZ and what gas would work best with this rifle make it 400fps-500fps?
Thank you very much,
Danny

Since I answered your questions in the PM you sent me (same questions, with my answers, best if you post them here for anyone else that wants to ask the questions), I'll just deal with the spring.

No, you don't NEED the better striker spring, the KJW M700 in stock form works just fine. If you want an increase in consistancy between shots, then you get the Tanaka striker spring and install it. I thought I answered that in this thread already, guess being 34 makes my brain mush at the best of times.

Anyways, the link you posted, $11.00 is too much (unless is in Canadian dollars). Here's the WGC price for that spring :

GG Parts - Tanaka M700 Series
GG-PT-07076
G&G Striker Spring for Tanaka M700 / M24 In Stock US$4.00

Since I have it on the next team order from WGC, I think I'll add a couple more to it in case anyone wants to buy. Just keep in mind I have to pay my share of the exchange, the shipping, and my part of the $45 wire transfer they only allow from Canaidna customers (PayPal no longer accepted, blame the idiot in Canada that ordered an M203 from WGC and got it siezed, because PayPal is connected to a credit card, the guy never received his order so claimed it lost, his credit card sucked back the funds and WGC got screwed.)

Propane is green.

-20C to 20C? haha, that's pretty big difference there.

Actually, a local guy here that knows a fair bit, claims that Green is slightly lower pressure than Green gas. Can't argue with him, never used green, but his chrony results DID show some difference between the two.

As far as Dami goes, some people have been feeding him false info. Like this:

"Also, someone was saying when cocking and the barrel is tilted forward, BBz just roll down the barrel..that true?"

Hop up not dialed in at all, common problem with every airsoft gun, add some hopup and BBs don't roll out. Simple fix. Now shoot the guy who told you is was a design flaw!!!!!
