Type 26 Revolver

OOo! Ooo!

It's a top-break revolver!

To my knowledge the first airsoft one ever made... This bodes well for a Webley or Enfield being made! (or at the very least looks like a very good start to a custom jobby)

its a good lookalike for a webley ,could be tempted....

In stated order, Hartford displayed their gas powered Type 26 revolver replica. Constructed of heavy weight material, the hammerless 6 millimeter caliber revolver features a KM TN precision inner barrel along with a fixed hop-up and six round capacity Pegasus gas cylinder system.[1] With an estimated price of about 20,000 yen (240 USD), the Hartford Type 26 revolver is expected to be released in Spring of 2013.

$240 sounds a bit expensive, but not excessive... Having looked it up the "pegasus gas cylinder system" is the system the tanaka guns use where the gas and bbs are all in the cylinder. Usually they have more than 6 round capacity though... hmm...

Looks really good, although it is expensive its not a bad price at all for a hartford model , I'm hoping this means theyll do a batch of their older items too as I could murder a new model army

I think they are made a fair few miles from Connecticut

The S&W's also look nice takes me back to my old 686.

I would prefer a CO2 like the russian pistol just out.

Hopefully this style of revolver will catch on, and it won't be too long before we have a Webley or an Enfield

you dont have to load 24 rounds, just load 6

im trying to get a nagant as we speak, its a must have for my soviet officer impression, and very much needed to shoot soviet "deserters and cowards"

Heh... my revolver only takes 6 rounds... I was just surprised that this one did as it's based on tanaka that usually manage more.

I did wonder about just using one of the pegasus cylinders as the mechanical base for a .455, as the gas reservoir is the trickiest thing to build.

The rest of it is fairly straightforward lathe/milling work.

Kermit had a go at converting the marushin pfc enfield no2 with a tanaka pegasus mechanism.

I've not idea how it came out. But because the barrel is restricted on the pfc gun he had to make a whole new front end.

The mech around the catch for the break action is very complex btw...

I've got a rather old spec deac .455 to dismantle though, so it's just a case of straight copying, really. Plus, to a certain degree, as long as it looks ok on the outside, and works, I can fudge the internals

i was going to convert a tanaka but just couldn't bring myself to do it in the end.

I might pick up a Tanaka SAA, I want one anyway, but it's also got a removable cylinder.
