Tanaka Glock

Post by Mark

While I was at the gunshop the other day I noticed a "bucket" of magazines near the sales counter as I was in the process of buying some .45ACP for that days shooting. Much to my surprise, there was this Glock made 33 round magazine in the bucket. My immediate thought was would it fit my Tanaka? I couldn't stand not knowing whether it would fit or not so, I bought it for $29.99 (By the way,I looked for more. This was the last one ) When I tried it in the Tanaka, it fit perfectly!









Looks cool doesn't it?

Now, I don't have near enough Tanaka rounds to fill this magazine. (just as well, as the barrels feed ramp has a big gouge at it's base. That, unfortunately, makes it miss-feed.) So, until I obtain a new barrel as well as new rounds I don't plan to try the new magazine out.

Mean looking it is! I really like it. And for that price the magazine was a bargain.

You shold be able to get a replacement barrel from modelguns.co.uk for approx $25 (that's what I paid a while back).

Mark, I have to agree with Doc, it would look better in a G18....

...luckily I have one so how bout you sending it over? No?

I see these are $35 at cheaperthandirt.com so I may have to see bout getting one. Finding a dealer who will send to UK is always a pain, but I have got mags from US before.

I wonder if it'll cycle with the stronger mag spring?

Post by allenb

OMG they (cheaperthandirt.com) have generic 33 rounders at $15.71!!

£8 for a whole lotta fun!

I plan on obtaining a WaShan "Glock" for the zinc slide, and I might make an aluminum (or weakened steel) barrel for it.. I wish that I had a G18 so that I could justify the extra magazine capacity! But until Tanaka makes new versions of the G18 I guess that I won't have one..

Do I hear "full auto" conversion

Post by Mark



As much as I like your beautiful conversion that You made 8ace, I still fear that it would be construed as an attempt to make an un-registered conversion item for a real Glock here in the U.S. So, I guess the only way for me to get a G18 is to get either the Tanaka G18 or simply an airsoft (KSC??) G18 slide and make it fit/work...

Also G18 looks like a much neater slector system

Post by Spencerman

I want one of those 33 round jobbies if anyone is sourcing any/can send one to the UK. PM me if you can help. I am not a greedy man, I only NEED 1, but 2 would be nicer! I am waiting to give my full auto mod jobbie a good run, and if it works well with the 33 round mags, then others will know what to do!

Anybody tried this with any of the Modelgun M92s or M93rs out there? I'd be especially curious to try an extended mag on an M93- I tried to order a cheapie from Midway but it's been on backorder for a couple months.

I did notice that my Wa Shan M9 and 1911 both had what looked like cast zinc (thick walled) mags
