[frosty]

I just bought a new Tanaka m700 AICS.
What I was wondering is what to expect as far as whats most likely to fail first? I like to have spare parts on hand and would like some heads up on what to order. Also maybe what to upgrade first. from what I have read form you guys so far is tight bore is probably the first direction to head. Maybe you guys could suggest where and what to get for me. I would much appreciate any help. Thanks

Well one of the first things to go is definitely gas seals, I'm not positive but I think I you can get them at local hardware stores and if not then hobby stores should have them. Make sure you keep your stock ones lubed with a little silicon oil to make them last longer.
The next thing that would be a good idea to upgrade is the hopup rubber, in the reviews I've read people always say the G&G rubber set is awesome. You can find that here:

I agree with putting in a tightbore, here's KM's 6.04 that will fit in your rifle. It's not the tightest you can go but it's a good in between bore.

If you're using your rifle in the cold a lot, I'd suggest the G&G Power Pack or the G&G Power Bolt (if it fits, not sure) because you're going to need more power to overcome the cold. The Power Pack can be found here:

Here's the Power bolt, it's should fit in your gun because it's just a Remington action on the Accuracy International frame but I can't confirm:
