Tanaka rifles are gas rifles. M24 is spring powered. Completely different.
The M24 takes APS2 parts.
Personal advice: Buy a used rifle that's already been upgraded unless you've got a decently sized budget and some patience. At one point there were 2-3 M24's in the For Sale section, all with the same set of upgrades, all hovering in the $400-$600 range.
