Tanaka M700 AICS Silencer?

[Duff]

Been looking around... has anyone had any luck with adding a silencer to a Tanaka M700 AICS? I havent taken mine apart yet so I have no idea what needs to be replaced at the end of the barrel.

If the front is just like the M700 non-AICS, then you can go with the King Arms treaded muzzle. I'm using that on the KJW M700.

Nope the Outer barrel of the AICS is not threaded at all !

You need an adapter that will clip on the outer barrel or change the outer barrel !

I was referring to these. This just slide inside the outter barrel on my M700, and the front sight holds it in by the groove.

Won't work with a AICS, the outer barrel is almost close, only 6mm at the end. like the same size as the inner barrel !

but is it possible to remove that part? I havent had a chance to look at it today but I was hoping it could come out and have some sort of adaptor plug in there...

I can't find the AICs manual online, just look at your manual to see if the front tip comes off.

This is the manual that ships with it. It comes with a couple extra pages showing how to take the body, bolt and hopup apart.

at the end of the barrel it does have a plastic "plug" not sure how it stays in place.

I had a Tanaka M40a1, and I was thinking of doing the same thing to it. It's already quiet as a mouse's fart, but it would be cool to silence it more. I never actually researched it, but I know that it is possible on some, and not on others (without modifying the structure of the the barrel).

I found on the web that one guy used an M24 adapter and cut a ring around it to use the stock o-ring to keep it in place

I got the KA adaptor for sale if you want....

Are you sure? The AICS front looks pretty different comparing to the M700 front as the M700 has a front sight that hold the tip of the outter barrel in (Part #1 on the diagram)

If it has a plug in place, look for a small screw somewhere, I'm sure there's a screw of some sort that holds it in place.

[Duff]

there are no screws. from what I understand is that there is an o ring inside that keeps it all together. I guess there is a groove inside the outer barrel and on the plug.

Ya the manual is not much help.. even the extra added info is not much...

yeah but its suppose to be the same barrel soo it should fit.
