My kjw m4

Thats a sexy build.... argh cant wait till i get my parts home. Its just so basic to look at. Was it easy enough to replace the pistol grip?

Hey guys.  Just tested a finished V+1 bolt in 40 degree weather last night.  Perfect!  Though there was a little delay in rate of fire, we were able to do full auto dumps with lock back.  I also got to use Frog's rifle in -30 degree weather and though you couldnt dump, you could use semi and still get lock back.  My v2 bolt didnt do well on either test.  I also have a prototype v+1 and the finished one seemed to function just slightly better in the crisp firing aspect.

Awesome feedback - good to hear that it still performs extremely well. I'm sooo gonna get the V1+... just take my money!

The section that sits completely inside the magwell is almost identical across all models of magazines.  Its the exposed part that varies.  Look specifically at the area just below the magwell lip.  The thermolds are wide and almost sit far enough out the be flush with the outside dimensions of the lower receiver.  The other style magazines hold the internal magwell dimension all the way down.

Ok I think i see what you mean... darn, well people have lived with the thermold mags since day one so i'm guessing we'll all be just fine Thanks for the info

Jep going to order the v1+ just about the time "ferikonto" is paying out;-)

Bah! "betalt ferie", useless junk... how am i suppose to get my hands on it now! I got a rail coming in from Madbull for the KJW, two PTS Pmags for the PTW. I need a MOE stock for the KJW, probably a new pistol grip too... argh damn hobbie! If things look ok, im going to order the V1+ in a weeks time

 

OR we can order it together have save on shipment, ahhh!!!

First time Ive ever looked at their products.  They look fairly nice.  Really the issue here would be the same as any magazine thats thinner than the thermold design.  Stanag, Pmag, Caa, etc.  TK made the top seal extend internally into that top nub around the magazine that touches the underside of the mag well.  So if you make the mag thinner up there for aesthetics you also cut away most of the sealing surface.  The obvious solution is to scap using the KJW upper portion of the magazine as well as the lower but by then you are starting the whole mag from scratch.  $$$$

Dont wanna question what you wrote at all, just trying to better myself in understanding. I just tried comparing the thermolds to my PTW mags STANAG and Rampos Pmags... are we talking in the mm difference at the top seal end of the magazine (magwell covered part)?

I'm beating the sh.... Out off min while staying updated on T_hum's progress in developing the v1+ bolt group, thinking my v1 would be worn out in time the cradle v1+ got out, but somehow it just keeps on going :-)

Well i do plan on running mine like a wild bull on a hot summer day, when summers come to Denmark... oh yea! 1 whole week of warm weather!

but the Cradle V1+ is out... so no excuse for you not to get it.

@T_hum 

Would the CAA style magazines be an option? They have released their own brand CAA AEG mags, but if i remember correctly its King Arms that produces them, so a license deal might not be impossible, CAA is pretty open to business proposals. 

[KJW M4]

What pouches are you guys using for your mags? I'd like to double stack my mags, but putting them in double stack pouches is a huge pain in the *albatross*. I either can't get them out without using two hands or can't get them in without hitting them hard...

I plan on getting 2 more magazines a total of 8 for a big MILSIM in a few months and won't be to run my set up the way I usually do with 5 double mag pouches, 1 mag in each and 1 in the gun...

I have 3x ATS single shingle pouch acting as the back row and in the front i have 3x Eagle Industries Mag pouch FB (kydex shell "inserts").

 

The ATS is really tight around the mags, if i push them all the way down i have trouble getting them up again without using both hands. The EI FB pouch holds it pretty well and releases ok too when pulled. However i cant push the mags all the way down.  Both type pouches hold them really well although they arent seated all the way down.

V1, 20 rounds in my mags and extreme conservative trigger finger;-)

Darn it - was hoping it would be a V2. I'm not entirely happy about mine being a V2, guess i'll just run it to the ground and then get the Cradle BCG, alot of good points about using it, before upgrading it. I just want it in tip top shape for MERCs 9, without failure. 

[KJW M4]

I think the thermold style are great to but kind of a drag fitting them in various mag pouch types. But again this platform are in my opinion far superior of the wa and we platform, I'm able to skirmish my KJW in whether as cold as -5celsius... I would newer be able to do that whit my old we and wa rifles.

What are you running with V1 or V2?

[KJW M4]

Hey guys
I must say - I work for one of the big airsoft companies, some of your rifles have the logo on it And when i saw we had it in stock, I did a little reading as to the build and quality. First i fell over this thread on arnies and then on gasguns, did alot of reading and even asked one of the tech guys about it and all i've gotten out of it has been positive. 

I've played airsoft for about 8 years - last 5-6 has been with PTWs. All the times I've seen GBBR out on the field they have always failed, thats why when reading about the KJW I was both impressed and very much needy to get one. So i did

I got a stock KJW V2 and right now it just waiting to pimped up. Have ordered a bunch of stuff for it, so it's on its way(helps to work for an airsoft company).

I gotta give the people here, who have posted tests, options and guides/help to others a big thumbs up!. Really awesome to see people help the airsoft community grow and let everybody in on how to better their gear.

I will hopefully get the Cradle V1.5 BCG once I've saved up for it and have one of the tech guys help me out with the TDC.. after that, from what i can read should be all the internal upgrades needed. Looking forward to bringing it out when its ready.

Keep up the good work guys, awesome to read all the 271 pages.
