  1. CKinnerly; can you post a guide to installing the inner barrel? It would be great as guidance for those that come after you!

     

    Does anyone know how the extended mags are progressing and when they will be available to order?

     

    To anyone planning to get one, check out airsoftworld as the price of the gun is great and the mags are cheaper than getting them from HK.

  2. I really like my WE but I stil have a stock V1 because additional parts are not available.

     

    As a stock version 1 it does work pretty well with propane but it really needs a better hop / barrel and there is no way it will cycle in this cold weather. Maybe by the summer WE parts will be available again.

  3. Going to try sealing my mags as some leak - is it this stuf you use (UK equivalent) http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...yId_165691#dtab ??

     

     

    Also, Otto, did you have to do anything to your v2 hop rubber to stop it from over hoping? I bought the barrel and rubbers a couple of months back but have not yet fitted them as most people I know who did have overhop problems.

     

    Finally, does anyone know any stores that are stocking the WE heavy grade BBs, ideally a UK retailer?

  4. I remember some people had problems when they cocked the charging handle, the trigger would cock but the firing pin would not. I am now having this problem and I had to stick my finger in lower receiver and cock it manually.

     

    I looked back but could not find a resolution. Are there any recommendations for fixing this issue?

     

    Regards,

  5. WETTI, any news about this mysterious new hopup?

     

    I second that.

     

    If the new hop is available to purchase in a new M4, and has been for a couple of weeks now, then why have they not been made available to people with earlier version M4s as a replacement.

     

    I think this is the single most important upgrade to me, even above CO2, as the accuracy of the weapon is just substandard.

     

    I am more annoyed about not having this as I am about buying steel nozzles, weights and mag stop catches that are endorsed and either dont work or should not be used for their intended purpose.

     

    WETTI - a hop related update would be most appreciated. The only thing better than an update would be a hop related release!!

  6. Maybe a dumb question but I've never had anything to do with CO2 cartridges before. So are all CO2 carts the same size and same quality? i.e. Will I just be able to pick up any old CO2 carts no matter what their advertised recommended use and they will be just as good as any other? Does that make sense?!

     

     

    Different manufacturers do have differing qaulity - but it has been so long since i used them I can not remeber who is good / bad etc. You do get two main types though - threaded and unthreaded so look out for that. One of the best places to get them are websites that sell them in bulk for CO2 bicycle pumps.

  7. For those of you in HK that do not have camping stores you should be able to find propane in shops that supply plumbers. Propane is used in torches to cut pipes.

     

    Propane is safer to use and transport (at least in the UK) as the presure is the same as green gas at 175psi @ 100 degrees F but propane is kept in regulated bottle types where green is in aerosol cans.

     

    Also, the gas chromatography and mass-spec analysis of green v's propane is identical as can be seen at the bottom of this page;

    http://www.airsoft-innovations.com/lab1.html

     

    The slight differences in the gas chromatography peaks is due to the added silicone.

  8. The G&P version is full metal and has hop up and variable fps settings via npas

     

    It also has more fps and better recoil but is twice the price for mags

     

    The WE version as i can see has problems non stop ?

     

    I may just get the new version 3 from airsoft buddy $450 gets me one posted to the uk so it does temp me very much

     

    My team is making mil sim games now and my 44 rps CQB dominator is making playing a bit too easy for me :)

     

    For the UK you dont need more FPS than the WE has to offer - that would make it hotter than any site would allow and probably fairly illegal.

     

    Regards the WE v's WA - Two guys from my site bought the WA a little while back - 5 months or so and have spent a fair bit on trying to get a hop that works. After trying my WE out the box they have put the WA's either on the shelf or for sale and replaceing them with WEs.

     

    I found the shooting experiance to be comparable bewteen them, but the WE more accurate and reliable (although it still has a couple of its own issues).

  9. Are all the ordering issues with AB resloved now?

     

    Airsoft buddy would you like to comment? I would really like to order 2 - 3 items from you but I heard there were some issues with communication and delayed shipping. I never heard if there was any resolution.

     

    I am not trying to muddy your name as I have the utmost respect for the support and information you have provided to this thread and this gun but I would like to know my parts would arrive in a timely fashion without worrying if I should have ordered from elsewhere.

     

    Regards,

  10. I used mine in a skirmish for the first time yesterday.

     

    It worked OKish :) I think, but am not 100% sure about how it operates, that as I was using it and it was cooling down a little the bolt was not cycling all the way to allow anouther BB to load so that it was not feding all the time.

     

    It seemed to work great after lunch when I had had the mags sitting in the car windscreen warming in the sun. It also seemed to work better with rothenberger propane than it did with abbey ultra.

     

    I am out again next Saturday so I may try carrying the mags in a utlility with a hand warmer and see how that works. This thing definately has potential for warmer months and CO2 though.

     

     

    I did seem to have a slight prob with one mag. The casing keeps slipping off from the internals by about 5mm and this causes the valves to leak. Need to have a look at that and see how it should stay together and if there is anything I can d to fix it.

     

    Will let you all know how the mags and a handwarmer work.

     

    I also think I will need a minimum of 6 mags to skirmish this effectively.

  11. How much fun? : )

     

    Got mine today and fired 4 shots before following Marky [uE]'s guide from page 126 on how to strip it down and secure part #36.

     

    I just wish I could play with it again but will be good and wait until the loctite drys - how long by the way?

     

    Oh and for anyone not sure about taking one of these to bits, I have only once, and unsuccessfully, stripped down an AEG gearbox and built it back up but taking this thing apart is very simple - easier than a spring rifle like the VSR.

     

    Thanks to all that have contributed to this post so far.

     

    P.S. Oh and 2 mags neither had a single leak. I did hear that LWA has been removing valves and pfte taping them so that may explain the lack of any leak.

  12. Had a quick play at lunch time and .............WOW they are fun but 500 fps on green at 20C .

    I'm glad I have some part #42s coming tomorrow

     

    Am i right in thinking then that these are either V1 or V2 but before they started selling them with the reduced power kit?

     

    Will need to order some parts to dampen it donw some : (

     

    Oh, and 1st, where did you order the replacement valves from? AB?

  13. Informative as always mate.

    I wonder if this technique will work with the replica DD Mk.18 rail and the barrel nut provided?

    Here in the UK I know of one retailer selling RS barrel nuts so I will try one of those too with the replica rail (I don't know if there is anything special about the RS DD Mk.18 barrel nut though)

     

    On another note, Landwarrior now have the WE M4 listed as 'out of stock' so the initial shipment must have been all taken by pre-orders! I wonder if any other UK retailers will start stocking it? I hope so.

     

    I managed to buy one today, although I had not pre-ordered, so there were some spare.

     

    I know tacticalquartermaster is going to be stocking them if he does not already have them listed - worth dropping him a mail as he said on the 2nd of Feb that he was just waiting for UKARA registration to start selling them and expected to do so within a week. If I remember corectly he said they would be £320.

     

    Otto - Thanks for the info on the handguards, think I will go for the magpul.

     

    Also WETTI, I have to agree with Kraut, a 50 rd mag would be nice.
