Hi chaps, as per the title I'm looking at moving my Tanaka 1897 along. It's a gas shell ejector using shells of the same pattern as the PPS shotguns ( the PPS shells are clones of the Tanaka's)
When I received this it was in a non working state, since then all damaged parts have been repaired or replaced with custom machined steel components (I run an engineering workshop).
Repaired/replaced components include. Locking latch, extractor mount (notorious and difficult to repair part) trigger sear and shell control levers.
I have fettled the gun to be as good as possible, and it now runs fairly reliably. I have skirmished it a couple of times at the department and it's fairly potent and with the shell catcher (also custom made) you don't have to worry about losing shells.
if you have any questions or offers send me a PM for a fast response.
Cheers, Robin
PM coming your way!
