Hey Dogfood, I noticed you have the mp-40. Is the one you have the same AGM as this one from A&A: http://aasurplus.ca/airsoft/product_...&reviews_id=99

Or is it the one all black without the Bakelite handle.

I will also get that mp-40 as it is in special now.
How hard is to paint the orange tip or take it out if possible?
Thanks

i had the mp40 from A@A but i sold it after 2 games... i wanted a rail got a g36. the AGM MP40 is a nice gun for the price, i didnt like the way you have to take the front half of the gun off to get the battery, but you can see the mechbox nicley, you cant get a hicap for it the mags are really cheep here http://www.uncompany.com/pageproduct...p?prodid=10481 shoots bout 240-250 with a .25,the folding but stock is wobbley but i didnt use it.
its a good gun for the price.

edit the red tip is EASY to paint over flat black and reaply after a bit.

Get the battery from www.cheapbatterypacks.com and get the charger from bbbastard.

Hey guys after doing some google search I just noticed that eHobby Asia sells the TM Thompson M1A1 with a Gear Box Version 6 and Motor EG 700, and 007Airsoft have the Gear Box Version 5, but also with Motor EG 700.

So now i am confused

I also read on this review http://www.airsoftretreat.com/review...duct=86&cat=30
that the guy mention the Thompson with version 6 gear box has an EG1000 motor.

So are there TWO versions of the Tokyo Marui M1A1?
I am now thinking that the last one 007Airsoft have in stock is actually an older version and that Tokyo Marui is now selling and updated version 6 gear box with an EG1000 motor.

Does anyone here know anything about that and can confirm for me, please?

If you know, then what is the difference between the Tokyo Marui Thompson M1A1 Gear Box Version 5, Motor EG 700 for sale on 007Airsoft and the Version 6 Gear Box?
Is there any known problem or bad performance with the Gear Box Version 5? Or could that just be a typo on 007Airsoft website?

thanks guys for the help

Hey Dao. Yes the MP-40 I have is the AGM from A&A. I have the black one but I've found that playing with it for a few games that the black paint is chipping off only to reveal the bakelite under it. I feel that its a good gun and I've had no issues with it so far. As for the orange tip, mine didn't come with one..But if yours comes with an orange tip it's an easy fix with a little paint..

Hey Dogfood, does your MP-40 have all the original trademarks on it and the Germans symbols like the real steel one?
I am not sure whether the AGMs have the trademarks on their Airsoft like the TM ones
Thanks

The Thompson has a V6 mechbox. There is no such thing as a version 5 mechbox. I believe it has an Eg1000 motor.

I too am looking for an M1A1 Thomspon but i find that the price on the 007 site to be alittle pricey for something that costs less then half of that price in the states. Any1 know a place that might sell it a bit cheaper then that site? its so hard finding a canadian retailer.

I have some bad news.

Me too.
And don't forget the TM M1A1 doesn't come with battery and charger, and doesn't include $65 for S&H. So the final price will be more like $800.

Batteries and chargers cheap!

Hi everyone. You could call this a bump, but I'm just another new airsoft-er in a similar situation as Dao, so I thought this thread was the best place to start.

First off, hey.

I've read all about the newbie things in these forums - basically, "we hate dickheads, but you have every right not to be one." So I'll try my best. This thread, combined with the links provided within, seems to have all the homework and research I needed to do. I just wanted to make a little check-list to see if you guys had anything to say about my way of going about purchasing this gun:

-Signed up at A & A, ready to order, $595 (it's closing?!?! What?!?).
-Checked ehobbyasia.com for batteries around 1500-2000 mAh (around $20), as well as extra magazines and the like. Seems great.
-BBBastard has ammo (O.2g, right? REALLY stupid question, I know, but I'm having a memory lapse) and a great looking charger for $55.

If there's anything out of place or just plain wrong, I'd be grateful for any advice. As well, if anyone can point out a specific battery off of ehobby or cheapbatterypacks, that'd be awesome as well. Thanks in advance.

(Might of missed something; will check back soon tomorrow. Thanks again.)

Looks good to me. You're right, buy the battery off www.cheapbatterypacks.com or eHobby and extra magazines off eHobby. On cheapbatterypacks, you use the menu on the left and select Packs -> Find By Model. And yes you'll want 0.20g BB's or above. Have fun. And good researching.
