Freedom Art – Mag Pipe for Marui SPOMOD M4

Manufacturer: Freedom Art (Japan)
Type: Magazine Adaptor


Freedom Art – Mag Pipe for Marui SPOMOD M4

This simple looking nub of plastic, is a pretty amazing little product for owners of the Tokyo Marui SOPMOD or SOCOM. This device allows for the use of the plentiful and easy to acquire older M4/M16 AEG magazines.

As this devices looks simple, the installation is extremely simple as well. This device just pressure fits onto the existing magazine nozzle. A small internal o-ring "locks" the device in place. "Bolt Lock Back on Empty Magazine" does not functions when Mag Pipe is installed. While I own enough SOPMOD magazines, this little device could come in handy.

I tested this device with a bunch of magazines I own. Worked flawlessly on every magazine except the Type 89 version as expected. S.Arms had some physical fitting issues, but worked when inserted properly.

Tokyo Marui – 5-7

Manufacturer: Tokyo Marui (Japan)
Type: Gas Blow Back Handgun


Tokyo Marui – 5-7

The Tokyo Marui 5-7 has been highly anticipated since its’ announcement a few years ago at Japanese airsoft conventions. the TM version of the 5-7 does not disappoint.


Tokyo Marui – 5-7

Unlike the Marushin 5-7, the TM is a solid build. It readily takes green gas and build quality is high. For being a mostly plastic gun, it has solid base, due to a metal magazine. Slide action and safety functions are smooth.


Tokyo Marui – 5-7

More details soon.

KWA – USP Tactical

Manufacturer: KWA (USA)
Type: GBB


KWA USP Tactical

The KWA USP Full Size comes standard from AEX with a metal slide.


KWA USP Tactical

Trademarks are laser etched on the metal slide and includes a 16mm CW threaded barrel which is the same as a KSC MK23 Silencer. I have seen Redwolf advertise 14mm CCW KSC USP Tactical’s, so hopefully that means 14mm outer barrels may be available soon.


KWA USP Tactical

This USP uses an updated NS2 gas system. Takes Green Gas no problem. FPS performance over my KWA USP Fullsize has improved with the NS2 system

Manufacturer: Freedom Art (Japan)
Type: Sling Attachment


Freedom Art – Swivel Ring for Tokyo Marui SOPMOD M4

Discovered early on in my ownership of the TM SOPMOD and SOCOM with the new recoil systems, that a standard AEG or Real Steel rear sling attachments will not work. Luckily Freedom Art came out with just a device which simply clamps around the buffer tube.

Freedom Art – Low Mount Base for Tokyo Marui AKS74U

{simplegrade:4}
Manufacturer: Freedom Art (Japan)
Type: Optics Mount


Freedom Art – Low Mount Base for Tokyo Marui AKS74U

I opted for the Freedom Art – Low Mount Base for Tokyo Marui AKS74U over a traditional AK Side mount solely due to the fact I want to still be able to side fold the stock. This optics mount replaces the complete rear iron sight assembly. It’s a straight forward install using 4 replacement screws and attached directly to the top cover.
