Building a HPA rig for Tanaka m700 aics

Postby Python » Thu Apr 01, 2010 7:42 pm

I have a Tanaka m700 aics post-ban that I am planning on hooking a hpa rig up to it so I can have adjustable psi, since I dont have the pre-ban and I want the better consistance. :D I am new to the hpa rigs and have no Idea how to build them. I can drill the mags fine with my drill press and can tap the mag fine but from there im totaly clueless on what equipment I should buy and how to put it together. Ive looked at many forms and there not really explaining sertin tanks and what not. If you could help that would be great. What equipment should I buy? How do you put it together :?: :?:
Thanks for all info known

I'd be surprised if anyone on these forums were to give out this information.

Those of us that DO have the rigs understand the potential for injury to ourselves and those on the receiving end of a rifle built with this Mod. With a single turn of an allen key an HPA rig can go from 300 to upwards of 700 FPS. If not properly monitored a rig can 'climb' in pressure and potentially burst (M700 magazines aren't the toughest things out there) sending shrapnel flying at high velocity.


That said. I'm not telling you a thing.

Oof! First off, for future posts on this forum, you might want to check your grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and spelling ("sertin"...dude are you serious??). That way people reading them will not get headaches.

Second, I am in the process of assisting with the construction of an HPA rig, and I will tell you this: it is not a modification to be taken lightly. It is certainly not for the inexperienced.

Third...what Amos said is wise, and you should take it to heart.

You're 14, no one here knows who you are, and they aren't going to give you that information.

Come back when you can spell, you might be able to clearly read the warnings that people are giving you.

In order to use an HPA rig on a field, you have to demonstrate a high level of skill and maturity so you don't injure yourself or someone else. The event coordinator is going to have the final say if you use that HPA rig or not. Unfortunately at 14 years old, you're not quite there yet, despite how awesome you might think you are. Get your face out there with a spring/gas bolt and once people know you're a safe/reliable player, they may let you in on a few trade secrets.

No one is going to give you the 'formula' for the "Finger of God" sniper rifle.

If you're that hell bent on making one right away, do an internet search, there's plenty of articles out there. I just hope to God you're safe about it. In the meantime, if you want to learn something about sniper fieldcraft (aka camo, ghillie, land nav, etc) I'd be more than willing to share some info.

you want consistancy then get a spring platform. i have been sniping in this community for over 4 years now. felt the need to build a HPA rig only once. even then my best frind bill or my greatest compeditor amos wouldnt tell ME how to build it. by the time i figured it out myself, it became passay.....bill got rid of his, and amos barley uses his.

best rifle i ever built was specificly to debunk the ..." there is no cheap sniper rifle out there" thread. its false.

i build a 500 FPS finger of god for less then most of the platforms base cost in that thread.


if you build it, they call hits.

thanks for the info ka-bar. I am considering putting in a EdGI tight bore, G&G power pack, New buckings, and a best gun hop-up in my tanaka m700 aics would that get me to around 600 fps? The reason I want a hpa rig is so I can out range my competition. Also Vaughn could you give me some information on a good ghillie suit or how to build one. Thanks

I know Vaughn said he would tell you but I am positive that if you google how to build a ghillie suit you will get more articles than you can afford to use. Why not use Google and /or the Search feature on this site. You are 14 with as many posts and I have yet to see any posts that ask something you have done a search for first. These guys have been very nice with the info they have given you now go out and find something out for your self and quit asking vague questions and start asking specifics so you show these people that you are serious and not just some hack looking for a quick answer so you do not have to work for anything.

Please listen to the above posts by these members. and yes GOOGLE is a very easy simple way of doing things instead of just getting other people to answer everything for you...

and for the record, Not all teenagers "want everything given to them on a silver platter with no work on their part at all"

True... not all, but a majority :D

I agree whole heartedly with SilentStalker. Google/Search first, do your homework, educate yourself so the fiends on AP won't rip you a new one when you post a vague question that's been answered several times before.

I will send you a PM with some ghillie resources. Build your own ghillie suit, do not buy a premade suit, trust me........If you have decent fieldcraft, you won't need a rifle that will "outrange" your competition...that's too easy. You should be able to sneak closer to your target to close that distance. So much more pride in that


With that said, I think we've beaten a dead horse here....

Gotta agree with all here...building your own ghillie is the way to go...have built four "generations" of ghillies, experimenting with different techniques. Still not sure we've got it right...lol, but it's very satisfying when you use it in the field and it actually works!

I do believe that your vaunted " 600 fps" rifle would not be allowed at most organized events anyway.
