Great looking gun  It's amazing how much better the options are now than just a few years ago.... Ken |

This is probably the M1917 Replica that Todd was planning a few years ago (No, I wasn't a member back then). Now all we need is for Tanaka to make a Stembridge:  (With an orange tip instead of a silver one. I don't think that would dramatically change it's looks. ;D) |

Confirmed! Todd is now offering the M1917, go check out his site and see for yourself! My only problem with it is that Todd spent all of that energy getting every single detail to be Prop Accurate, only for me to find that it comes with an orange tip.  Oh, well, if you want it for display or filming, just use some Goo Gone (I've heard it works best on black guns). If you want other PFC Indy Guns, you can either talk with Todd about it if you're really picky, or you can just buy Marushin Replicas from DEN Trinity Shop: RotLA BrowningToD ShooterLC Close-EnoughSteven |

Wow! Cool pictures! You have to blame Uncle Sam for the orange barrel. The factory WILL NOT ship them to the USA without them, and the USA will not allow them to enter the country without the orange tip. And I am not allowed to send them anywhere without the orange tip. And there are several states and cities where these are illegal with or without the orange tip!
They are very cool, though, and I think the PFC is more fun than an airsoft. What do you think?

Yeah, Todd, I know that. I'm not complaining about that.  I just wanted the picture of the product (not the product itself) to be without the Orange Tip. You did it with your past guns. Sorry I wasn't being clear on that point. Yeah, I can imagine a nice cheesy pop and flash being much more satisfying than a projectile firing without much action at the tip of the barrel. Please, please, PLEASE make a PFC Stembridge?  Steven |

Steven, Tanaka would never go for that. New barrel, cylinder, frame, and grips! I doubt this model is a hot seller. No one in the USA really carries PFC guns. I think they are much more popular overseas. Maybe someone can educate me on this.
If this model is a good seller for them elsewhere (I'm the only USA dealer for this item, and I've still got a stack on my shelf from my first order!) I could maybe talk them into a Webley WG... I need to start moving these S&Ws before they'll listen to a new idea.

I just found out that Tanaka's 5.5" Barrel M1917 is a .45 caliber gun! It says so on the barrel! So besides the matte appearance, it shouldn't be too hard to turn into a Prop-Accurate Stembridge (EDIT: Though since it's plastic, the results could be fatal for the gun). So one of two possibilities could happen in the future: A. Tanaka can just modify the barrel, give the whole frame the same steel treatment the Bapty got (But the tip left silver, before coated with orange), and make new grips for that version. B. I can buy that version and try to make the necessary mods myself. Steven
