1st Commando

Very nice mate . I look forward to your shooting tests. Hopefully Adadqgg will be asleep until his troll bridge by then so we can just see your findings and make up our own minds

If some of your TM mags are too thickly painted ,it is only a matter of minutes to lightly sand down the finish on them

TM mags do fit and work well but due to inconsistent finish on the TM mags , some of the older design mags are too thick to fit . Of my 8 TM mags ,2 work fine , 3 work because i filed some of the paint finish off to fit my KJW and 3 are too thickly painted and i haven't sanded them down yet ! TM E2 mags seem to have a better finish and fit fine straight away ! The problem really is down to the various thickness fo paint finish on TM (old style mags) rathe rthan down to the pistol as it appears they mag well is made to high tolerances ,probably to prevent "mag rattle"

most likely mate

A pic of a delivery of team patches earlier this year

A real one

they have gone through several generations . Several changes were made to the pistol grip and stock . The front sight is an option from the 416

Another Sig for my collection

Yep ,I fitted one as above

Ready Fighter power valve fitted (0.98J) with enhanced cylinder (TSC) and now running 331 average on propane in the house . That is spot on for my needs I also have a RF loading nozzle stood by in case I need it

Just to add , I have done a little bit of testing at range and my hop is just not being effective . i'll put some more rounds through it , give it another clean and try and adjust it better on the weekend and report back. Next option will be an aeg hop rubber etc

I'd prefer not to have to resort to 134a as it's sluggish and in consistant . Plus I would like to stick to one type of gas for all my RIFs. I have a RF downgrade valve coming so i'll see how that works out

So I finally got mine but what has everybody else done (mainly UK ) to bring these in below 350 fps on green gas ?

You do realise the propane is NOT weaker than green gas . Green gas is propane with oils added

until they need to buy more

Well 134a is now illegal in the eu , duster is not very common and I run everything else I own on propane . Cheers for the reply though . I was rather hoping that a replacement floating valve or npas would have been made available by now to be honest

Has anybody found a reliable way of restricting these to under 350 fps on propane/green yet ?

ahh it's the molded one i'm guessing then . not sure if the rail adapter will work mate

the rail on the rifle should be a standard picatanny rail so no adapter needed mate

oops sorry mate

you may find there is an extra oring on the hop arm which is causing it to stick mate

Not sure about anywhere that has had any in stock lately but but Yes the KWA and KSC mags are compatible

I experienced issues with my hop on my M16-A1. the first couple of shots the hop was fine but after a burst or more single shots the hop started having no effect . I shaved of about half a mm off the front of the nozzle . This seems to have solved the issue as it appears the nozzle was forcing the BB past the hop nub when it returned to battery under recoil

yep the same npas as all the other open chamber WE rifs

the recoil and refire rate suffer more on the M14. probably to the the huge amount of metal that the blowback chamber has to shift compared to the G36 and also the fact the mags are metal instead of plastic . In very cold weather I found the hop rubber was more affected too , probably because the hop rubber is more exposed to enviroment than the enclosed chamber of the G36
