Russian 91% Clear M-Tank Replacement

[magicmyst]

The original clear M-tank for my R91 (authentic) would not tighten without the threads stripping, so I got 2 of these and they're both doing the same thing: when you tighten (screw it in) it the threads strip and do not hold.

Where can I get a good replacement tank for the R91? Never had this problem with my Kayfun Lites.

I got mine from eBay, full transparent without issue. You may need to check if there is any damaged thread on the metal parts that hold the tank.

Metal sections are fine. The kayfun m-tank is just not a good fit. Where can I get an authentic R91 m-tank?

Found them here for $13, but that's kinda pricey.

I just checked again, and unfortunately it appears that the metal threads may be the issue on one of the two metal tank sections. The plastic m-tank will screw tight and secure on to either end of one of the tubes but neither end of the other. I don't think I did anything to damage the threads on that one metal tube. I'm super careful about threading, and the metal m-tank (which nobody wants to use) fits securely.

So now I don't know if I need to buy new m-tank or a replacement metal tube!

Honestly, in hindsight, I wish I'd purchased a 3rd KFL+ instead of this R91. In addition to this threading issue, I've had to replace the center pin due to weeping. I've never had any issues whatsoever with my 2 authentic Kayfun Lite pluses.

Not all M-Tanks are threaded alike. I got a couple R91 replacement tanks from Vapor DNA, as well as a replacement tube section (just in case) and the new M-Tanks fit snug and tight to the original metal section whereas the Kayfun Lite tanks "slip".

Conclusion: SveoMesto KFL replacement tanks are not a good fit for the R91.
