Hello everybody,
I have recently got back into airsoft after recovering from a leg injury. In the past I have used Gas M4's but am looking to buy a gas bolt rifle. I have done some research and am looking for a Tanaka m700 or a VFC m40. Where could I find these rifles? All help is greatly appreciated.

Both of those you are likely only going to find on the used market. King Arms and Action Army have some gas rifles that use the tanaka m700 system.

King Arms TWS Gas Bolt Action (M700)

Just got it. Stay tuned for impressions and tuning. Overall first impressions right out of the box. not as heavy as I was expecting, still on the hefty side as 90% of the rifle is metal. Originally I was not thrilled with the CAA stock on it, but that one in particular is not all that bad. I do...

Have you tried looking at online retailers? I think both of them are out of production now days though

The main gas rifle sold is the kjw m700

Sadly they are both not being produced anymore as far as I know. Do you know of good second hand marketplaces?

For what it is, the KJ M700 is the best bang for the buck.
TDC ootb and takes VSR buckings, all you need is a bucking change and a longer nozzle then you're set.

I found the fps adjustable King Arms m700 bolt for a little over $150. Any thoughts on what this bolt will be able to fit into? Perhaps a KJW m700

Basically anything that has a M700 style system.

Though I wouldn't get the high power bolt. Its a little too much.

The KJ bolt is also adjustable, the hammer tension can be adjusted.

I believe the high power bolt is fps adjustable like the pre ban tanaka's. So I would assume you could turn it down if the gun was running hot.

You can. It just produces strange behaviors in the rifle. At least it is in mine.

Not sure if you are interested, but I’m selling a green gas Kar98k, which would make a terrific sniper rifle. You can find the listing in the marketplace page and I’m open to offers.
