Is there some sort of ISO certification requirement to meet a 5x buffer? Is Tokyo Marui even ISO certified? As far as I know, they only design based on THEIR needs for ASGK requirements. ASGK does not require them to build to higher pressures, and they would actually PREFER that airsoft manufacturers did NOT design guns capable of handling higher power.

Looks like the exact same issue as the Tanaka M700 series, as Alex mentioned. I've already replaced all my M700 magazine inserts with (discontinued) billet aluminum replacements.

I've caught wind that CNC machined billet aluminum parts are being made for the Marui M870 gas tanks. No word on ETA or who will be branding it.
