They're raised on the real one which I think is beyond KY Airsoft's abilities, but maybe they can be convinced to engrave it instead.

Got to square up the medallion at any rate when I glued it back on. Then I did this.

Couldn't resist but take a peek. After struggling to get it out without damaging either piece, the back of the non-traded WE medallions are blank.

So, uh, traded versions teased by KYA

There's not really a lot going in there which might explain the cost. Even the original Marushins started out at around $99.

Got a Vant-VM kit from Grey Shop

I recall mine was drilled through, just that the very end of the hole was kinda obstructed with flash or dirt making it appear like a blind pin.

1) The coupling valve (gun end) isn't seating well (probably from being mashed). Take the valve out and lightly ream the hole it sits in to give it more wiggle room. 2) The coupling valve (mag end) and its o-ring has very tight tolerances sitting in its brass sub assembly and if it shrinks just a little you get that persistent hiss. What I've found to be a surefire solution is building up the diameter of the recess for the o-ring with super glue. I put enough glue so that the lower meniscus (while still wet) is around 1/3 the depth of the pocket. I apply the glue while it's vertical in the chuck of a drill and slowly spin it for the glue to even itself out. The hard part is removing it from the chuck without disturbing the glue or you could keep it propped up in the drill until it cures.

Front sight is metal as is the 3 lug muzzle. You can either get the muzzle painted or have an orange plastic pdw flash hider put on. The charging handle itself is zinc alloy but AFAIK the shaft running through it which comes into contact with the charging handle tube is steel.

I think that's MPS since it also reads 1.4J. There's a guy on reddit that converted his 4.5mm to 6mm airsoft and even after some tweaking it was still shooting too hot at 500fps.

Not a fan of CO2 but I'm sure converting it to green gas will be easy enough. As much as I'd want one, this year I'm focusing on completing my French 1915 kit plus a Lebel I'd have to make from scratch.

Start of my horizon blue kit

So, do we hold a lottery on what wonky-*albatross* name they'll give to the non-traded version?
