Indiana Jones revolver

[Solos blaster]

Yep...I'm getting one.

 

[The 48th Ronin]

Thank you for sharing that. That was actually going to be my next question was the weight comparison.

No problem!

I had one in each hand and they seemed pretty close, so I pulled out my digital postal scale to see.

The 48th Ronin , yep, that's EXACTLY the one I have! Pair it with some leather gear from MakeItJones, and you've got a damn fine Indy gunbelt!

I too have the Tanaka-- came from Japan no problem. It's all metal save for the plastic grips. Didn't even have a pesky orange tip. You could rob a bank with this thing.

Dude, love the Ford themed collection

 

[SethS]

It's my Ford Holy Trinity.

Got mine this morning as well! The gun is a lot bigger and heavier than I expected it to be. Only tell that it's a BB gun is there's a hole on the side of the grip for CO2.

There shouldn't be a hole in the grip...

That little brass spot in the middle of the diamond on the grip in the last photo? I assumed that was where the CO2 went.

 

[The 48th Ronin]

Not CO2... probably Green gas.

Haha no, that's the screw that holds the grip on! The Co2 goes into one of the bullet casings when you flip out the cylinder. Unless you really know what you're looking at, there's only two ways to tell that pistol from a real one: see the stamp on the underside of the frame, or look straight down the barrel and see the screw threads

 

[The 48th Ronin]

Yeah, that grip screw is seriously undersized - it's supposed to fill the escutcheon a bit better than that.

 

[Psab keel]

Still waiting on mine.

I just checked my tracking number and now it's saying they are unable to retrieve my tracking information at this time.

Also that I do not currently have any shipments. That's weird. It's not like it vanished.

Hopefully the system is just down and it isn't anything more.

 

[Psab keel]

I hope my pieces didn't get sent back to Japan.

 

[MaverickFerg]

Ordered mine last week and it’s already saying that it should be delivered Monday (tomorrow)! I’ll believe it when I see it, but wow...that was fast!

 

[Psab keel]

I hope it does arrive quickly for you!

 

[MaverickFerg]

It actually did arrive today - looks great!

Has anyone actually loaded and shot BBs out of these? (The instructions are all in Japanese.) It comes with what looks like a speed-loader, but I’m not sure how it works.
