TM MK46 Mod0

Last month, Tokyo Marui issued an advisory for owners of the recently released Tokyo Marui Mod0 NGRS AEG in which the dovetail where the magazine is inserted is damaged. Whilst it is there to protect the expensive magazines and can get damaged upon impact such as a fall, there are some dovetails that may get damaged apart unexpectedly and they want owners in Japan to get in touch with them. Owners outside of Japan may need to get in touch with their local retailers in case they experience such.

Below is the rough translation:

Thank you for using our products.

Regarding the damage to the parts (Dovetail) where the magazine is inserted in the next-generation electric gun " Mk46 Mod.0 " announced on December 17, 2019, the cause and the response to the customer who purchased it are as follows I will guide you.

Dovetail damage causes and countermeasures

The Dovetail of "Mk46 Mod.0" is designed so that certain parts are intentionally damaged when a certain amount of force is applied.

The purpose of this is to prevent damage to expensive magazines by damaging only the dovetail when the attached magazine is hit by a strong impact such as a blow or fall, and to minimize the repair cost . Also, in order to reliably operate the auto-stop function of the newly developed blaze magazine, it is important to increase the mounting accuracy of the dovetail and the magazine, and to prevent deformation of the magazine due to strong impact by damaging the dovetail. Doubles as well.

However, as a result of investigating and analyzing the cause of this Dovetail damage, it was confirmed that some of the mass-produced Dovetails contained something that could be damaged by an unexpected impact.

As a countermeasure, we will switch to more robust countermeasures for future products so as to be able to cope with variations in strength and unexpected damage in mass-produced products. For customers who have already purchased "Mk46 Mod.0", we will provide free support as soon as the countermeasure parts are available. Please apply for sending or replacing the counterparts to our after-sales service department.

*Parts will be sent and exchanged at least on December 24 at the earliest.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to your purchase of the affected product.
