Umarex / VFC PPQ Navy DX


Safeword

Recommended Posts

Just get the threaded barrel, lol.

 

I liked the ergonomics on my PPQ before I sold it, I was, however, turned off by the semi/full auto feature. THAT being said, if they had a extended magazine, I wouldn't mind the full auto feature.

 

 

te-he-he.

Yeah my slide cracked on my PPQ Asia Edition :(

 

Possibly looking at the steel version because it's a really sweet gun otherwise. But then again steel probably equals a fugly bumper CO2 magazine.

 

But that compensated PPQ looks nice that they had shown too, and a bumper mag on that just looks extra tacticool :D

I would hope they could get away without a big bumper for CO2 considering the CP99 airpistol mag base is flush.

 

CP99 mag valve assembly fits in the space that the blowback unit sits in on the airsoft gun.

I've had my PPQ for a few months and it's one of my favorites. Excellent grip design, decent trigger and good sights.

 

Getting another to trick out as a "modern" Man from Uncle pistol as I've not been able to find a P38 based one for a long time. I've a flash suppressor that looks pretty good and the extended magazine and threaded barrel. Now I have to figure out how to make a stock that will work with the grip and rig a red-dot sight to finish it.

 

This new kit looks like a nice set up. Not a big fan of the extended magazine baseplate though.

FYI; 

 

I have started a Review thread for this gun, here: http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/215402-umarexvfcstark-arms-walther-ppq-m2-gbb/

 

Technically not the steel/DX version though but I guess they could go in the same thread?

 

What I wanted to post is this; 

 

What I want to address is the cracking of the upper slide flat top due to the chamber on the outer barrel.

 

I recently bought a new Asia version slide for my PPQ to replace, and I modded the chamber by chamfering off the front edge. Significantly might I add. And I noticed the chamber was still going up onto the slide upon cycling.

 

Well, turn out the nozzle is getting stuck on the back end of the barrel/chamber on cycling, pushing onto the barrel, preventing it from dropping down on cycling. This pushes the chamber of the barrel up into the top of the slide.

 

So I filed down a front edge on the nozzle, and cleaned up the back end of the barrel/chamber and lubed the parts up.

 

Does it completely fix the issue? Sadly not. The nozzle and barrel still interlock a little bit. But I think with these two mods, I hope, enough is done to mitigate, or at least reduce the risk significantly, of breaking the slide (again).

Would be good IF it had a C02 mag. My PPQ is snappy but I'm not sure how many shots I'd get out of a mag if it was chugging back a steel slide every time.

Not sure if EBAirsoft are smoking crack or something but they have the steel slided PPQ here for $186 USD. About half price of WGC.

Description does have CNC aluminum slide in there at one point but considering they sold the PPQ Asia version for $116 with shipping and the pics do look like the steel slided version.

 

I'd say if you want it, go for it.

 

Now I am kind of regretting getting my new PPQ Asia aluminum one :o

 

derp!

 

Although, my main concern is that the rest of the gun is not beefed up to handle the steel slide so... And I've promised myself to never do steel guns ever again :P
