Airsoft Tokyo Marui Thompson M1A1 Bolt Mod

*****For a better way to do this (innovation is the path to creation) check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihk3BHXu4S4 for an updated and no-risk method of performing the Bolt-Mod.*****

Modded bolt on Airsoft M1A1 Thompson AEG from Tokyo Marui. Standard bolt when gun is stock is inactive when firing, and is a loose piece of metal that, while nifty, doesn't add too much to the overall appeal of the gun.

This mod enables the bolt (with the addition of a catch on the sheet metal) to be pushed back by the piston inside, where both the Gearbox and the Pistol are heavily modified. Bolt is then pulled back forward via the standard stock spring attached inside. Gun still fired like a dream, and the action of the bolt adds a whole new dimension to this gun.

I highly recommend trying it out for yourself if you are aware of the risks to your gun.

Also, due to the gearbox modification as well as the added motion, the gun is about twice as loud as stock.

That's really cool, but it would be cooler if you could make it start in the "open" position.

Not possible as far as I know with the airsoft version, unless you somehow reversed how the mechanism functioned. Interesting project perhaps?

You could just pull it back and down at the same time untill it sits in the dip then when you pull the trigger it starts the blow back action. thats what i do

I had the CYMA Thompson but I didn't really liked it cuz it looks way uglier than the beautiful Marui Thompson. Anyway my barrel broke, after allmost a year of using. from what I've heard it's very common on the Thompson, both the Cyma and the Marui. You know anything of this? And maybe you might have an idea how to fix it? I'm thinking of bying a Marui Thompson soon.. :)
