TM MK23 - HPA Modular adapter

cults3d

There are many available HPA Modular Adapters for Hi Capa, Glocks, Shotguns, ARP, and more that convert traditional magazines to M4 Magz, but very few work with Tokyo Marui MK23 Socom handguns due to the magazine's unique build. This project is designed for 3D printing enthusiasts like me who want to make things work. The Socom MK23 adapter performs well in the field, maximizing the number of BBs your M4 can hold, while the HPA Tap provides extra firepower. To start: * You'll need a few parts: - An 1/8 Air Hose - Two m3 nuts and screws - A M4 magazine release button (old or new) * An HPA with a 1/8npt female thread * A 1/8" PT Male Thread 6mm Push In Joint Connector * Teflon Tape * Silicone Paste/Gasket * Epoxy seal Assembling the adapter is relatively straightforward. There are many YouTube videos that can guide you through removing the base of your Socom magazine. Here's a step-by-step process: 1. Print and prepare the files for assembly, trying to fit them together to get an idea of the details. 2. The BB Tube single stack is designed to be longer, so you can print as many as needed and cut them later to your desired length (Recommended filament for tubing: ABS or PLA+Carbon Filament). 3. Assemble the M4 Magazine Release button to the Lower Adapter. 4. Insert the air hose directly into the center hole of the upper adapter, secure it with epoxy, and let it cure. 5. Insert the BB Tube single stack into the magazine and cut any excess. 6. Apply Silicone all around the base of the print before inserting the magazine (you can re-use the pins removed during magazine assembly or add holes to the print for a tighter fit). 7. Secure everything with epoxy, then let it cure completely. 8. Assemble the HPA connectors and insert the male adapter into the air hose. 9. Assemble the upper and lower adapters using nuts and screws. 10. For a professional finish, consider post-processing to make it look like a standard manufactured adapter. Once complete, you can enjoy using your Socom with an HPA Tapped M4 magazine for maximum firepower.
