Table of Contents [Hide]

Are you curious about how to remove the orange tip off your airsoft gun? It's actually a straightforward procedure that requires some basic tools and steps. By following this guide, you'll have your gun ready to showcase to others in no time.

The primary tools you'll need are:

  • Electric drill or hand drill

  • A drill bit

  • Lighter or heat source

  • Chemical solvent

  • Files or sandpaper

  • Trim any plastic remaining

Before you start, it's important to confirm that the orange tip can actually be removed. If the orange tip is permanently affixed to the gun, it's probably just there to make sure it meets legal standards and can't be removed. Take out your drill and secure your gun tip in a drill vise or a vice grip. Start with a lower drill speed and carefully drill into the tip. You'll see a white plastic material inside when all is said and done.

Now that you've bored into the tip with the drill, you need to apply some heat to detach it. Use a lighter or heat gun and apply heat to the tip for at least two minutes. This will loosen up the plastic and allow you to pull the orange tip off. Make sure that you're careful not to heat the tip up too much or it might end up melting.

If the orange tip doesn't come off, you may need to apply a solvent to help soften the material. You can purchase a solvent that's specifically designed for this purpose, or try rubbing alcohol, WD-40 or acetone. Let the solvent sit on the tip for a few minutes, then try to pry it off with a pair of tweezers or pliers.

Once you've successfully removal the tip, you'll need to tidy up any plastic remnants that are left. You can do this by filing the ends with a file or sandpaper. Make sure you pay attention to the details here, as you want to make sure you're not damaging the body of the gun.

It's important to remember that removing the orange tip is not legal in some areas. Make sure you check your local regulations to see if it's ok. Also, you need to ensure that the gun is still safe to fire after you're done. It's a good idea to have the gun inspected after removing the orange tip to make sure it's in good condition before firing it.

Removing the orange tip of an airsoft gun is an easy process if you have the right tools and steps. Start with a drill, then apply heat to the tip, and finally clean up any remaining plastic with a file or sandpaper. Make sure to check your local regulations, and also have the gun inspected to ensure it's safe to fire. Once you're done, you'll have a gun that looks great and is ready to fire.
