  1. Myself and a friend had the same thing happen. The AK still worked though. Not irreplaceable though, last I contacted WE they said they could get it but it would take a couple of weeks.
  2. There is also the Hephaestus steel cnc trigger set. http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=570_573&products_id=15778 Not a clue if it is any good as it is quite new. Personally Im not a big user of silicone in my GBBR's. I use it for the O-ring on the nozzle and that is about it. For any metal on metal parts I use Slip2000.
  3. Go into any hobby shop and buy RC Shock oil. 100% silicone and very cheap. Your M4 should of come with a wrench if you bought new. As for internal parts, is there anything specific you want?
  4. I used a Falcon rubber. I would recommend a REAPS though. I may have found a spring suitable for the catch, will test when I have the time.
  5. Wouldn't install that myself. Looks like it would ruin gas efficiency and cause other issues. Plus being around 250g it weighs more than a lot of real steel buffers.
  6. Found another issue. With the selector set to safe, you can still pull the trigger and fire the gun if you pull hard enough. Need to set the selector to semi to reset it though.
  7. BOOM! Is the sound of me being shot down today.

      Very true, or do what some guy did, find the 'fun time pics' you have of her and offer them to the world ;). That is if you have any.

      heh, sucked at the time but now firmly filed under '*suitcase* happens'. Also yay porn!

      Ah well that is good. At least your not juggling two ;) In the words of Sheldon 'do you not have access to woment that will do that sort of thing for money?' :P

  8. For what it is worth the REAPS rubber in my WE M4 is fantastic. FPS went up by 50 (!), range is increased a fair amount. I currently out-range everyone at the current site. (Been told this mostly by marshalls) Accuracy is also excellent.
  9. The problem with the consistency is the hop unit is far too back. Put an o-ring behind it to push it forward and now the SVD is very consistent (10fps within each shot) Nothing to do with the NPAS. The link explains the bolt catch problem. The stock spring is either too long or too weak. Not sure. Either way the bolt randomly gets caught mid-mag.
  10. Bolt lock problem fixed, kind of. Seems to be a known issue but the spring that keeps the bolt lock down is too weak. In my case it jumped out of its position. As I didnt have a replacement (where the hell is a clicky pen when you need one?) I just stretched it a little and put it back in. Seems to fire fine now...will do a consistency test in a bit.

  11. Quick update. The problem with the consistency is the hop unit is far too back. Put an o-ring behind it to push it forward and now the SVD is very consistent (10fps within each shot) Now the bolt lock issue however has got worse, it is a pure bolt action rifle now. With the bolt lock disabled at the mag it still locks at every single shot.
  12. First issues arrise. First is the magazine latch which triggers the bolt lock. It is far too lose and is prone to jumping up under recoil and hitting the bolt lock, making the SVD a bolt action rifle at times. Secondly and more infuriatingly, the air seal is utter utter garbage. With a NPAS installed and fully open the best I can get is 220 and even then it fluctuates wildly. It would appear the nozzle has not been designed correctly and the bucking does not 'grab' the nozzle what so ever to for a seal. Would I be able to wrap the front of the bucking perhaps?
  13. Last I read you can use 7.62 pouches but you will need to stretch them. Kalinka optics was the first place I checked. Soviet propaganda has only one double pouch in stock. Bit annoying, currently not sure how to carry additional svd mags with me without buying a specific rig.
  14. Anyone know where to purchase MOLLE SVD mag pouches? They seem to be damned hard to find.
  15. Onto the more important bits, the internals and the mag. The mag is of the same design as the g36/ak/m14, so it should not leak. The bolt catch appears to be a mix of the m14 and the AK design. The shell is steel and after some testing you can get off 50 shots or so in a mag before you start to run out of gas. Stripping down the SVD is simplicity itself, there is little to go wrong. The bolt is quite weighty and has a decent silver finish. Being of typical WE pot metal though it marrs easily. The recoil buffer behind it is simply a plastic peice and seems to take quite a beati
  16. Yesterday my WE SVD (wood) arrived as so here is a short first impressions/review on it. Purchased from CWI, it was sent very quickly and they also performed a mod to reduce the fps to under 300. Unfortunately the mod is rubbish and wildly inconsistent, NPAS is on the way. The SVD comes in one piece, in your standard WE brown box. It comes with the cheek rest, manual, loader and oddly a spare recoil buffer/stop. Apon picking up the rifle the first thing that struck me was the wood, it really looks like plastic! (I had to check) I dont know what finish they used but it
  17. WE SVD arrived. Play time.

      Oh hell no! You gotta write about it first because it won't be another month before they hit stores here.

      Gonna work on a "first impressions" tomorrow.

  19. GoldenBall .3's are very good.
  20. Yea, its still very tight in there. The internals will not move without me pushing apon them.
  21. That tight must be his latest ones. The two I have are quite tight but can still be pushed out by hand. Will be getting a few more in time to outfit my other mags once I have the spare cash.
  22. Ive dropped my arc mags a few times as I am a bit clumbsy with fast reloads. No real damage. Done the same to P-mags, they just seem to refuse to be marked. Last I was quoted CS's P-mags were $40 a piece. Very, very expensive but he does put a lot of work into them and they do fit incredibly well in WE M4's. Shame Magpul PTS dont come along and make some shells for our mags.
  23. Had these for a month or two now. Decent shells, fairly well priced and seem to take a beating. The AI propane adapter /just/ fits and fills without extension but you may wish to use the extension for ease of use. I prefer P-Mags but the shells are REALLY expensive from the fella whom does them. EDIT: Forgot to mention, these do drop free on an M4 if you so wish to. Plus the standard shells deform REALLY easily if you drop them, even accidentally.
