  1. So as there doesn't seem to be any owners threads for this little baby, is it worth using this one?

     

    Recently bought one second hand, and yesterday was my first outing with out. Running it on HPA, and have found it battles to hit a measured 20m, even with the input pressure turned up to near max (running at 110 PSI, and manual stated max input of 120 PSI)

     

    Setting the hop rubbers on this is "interesting". Found that on mine, it didn't seem to hop .25s, and I got better range with 0.2s (first time ever I've had this!). I tried the following methods to set the hops after I ran tape around the barrels to keep track of which is which.

     

    - With battery disconnected, adjust hop 1, manually rotate round until it gets just to the firing position, and then see where the BB goes as the barrel rotates. This chews through the air, and is still difficult to get an idea of the trajectory. At least this seems the best way to chrono!

     

    - With battery connected, back off all the hops to minimum, start working on Hop 1 and watch to see if hopefully one of the four BBs has a different trajectory. Once set, repeat with next hope until complete.  This seemed sensible, but didn't really get me anywhere more than luck would have! I also couldn't see one trajectory getting noticeably better or worse than the others.

     

    - As a third option, I just eye balled the depth of the hop screws, and got them all about even. This at least set the individual trajectories to be relatively similar paths, but still didn't give me much range or seem to affect anything noticeably.

     

    Based on the above, I would almost guess that the current rubbers are not really doing much!

     

    As I got this second hand, I want to give all the barrels a good clean, as I don't know what state they are in. Hopefully this may improve things, but not holding out much hope. If this doesn't help, then it may be a case of swapping out the hope rubbers for something better ( previously have used Madbull Blues to good effect). If that doesn't help, I feel I may be at the edge of an expensive and time consuming rabbit hole!

     

    Anyone else running one of these? I know that Bada Bing sold his, so wondering if I am the only person who wants to persevere and getting this up and running well!

  2. Is there any performance difference between the PMAG and STANAG?

     

    Bolt hold open on the Pmaps when used with the Mega Arms can be an issue. The Pmags can cause the Mega Arms to lock back on every shot, thought this can be solved with a small amount of time and a file.

     

    Definitly going to try the conversion shown above!!

  3. Anyone running one of these with a SAI slide kit and CO2 mags? If so how does it shoot and what sort of power is it?

     

     

    I have a Airsoft Surgeon SAI slide on mine, and run it with a WE CO2 mag. Seems to fire fine, bit more of a kick, but same power as standard green gas, thought slitghtly lower than WE Europe Green gas!  On CO2 it chrono's around 320ish.

  4. Pretty certain PTS said they're also doing them, obviously licensed this time around.  I've got the Crusader set here which I picked up before seeing the PTS Magpul selectors, not sure whether I'll use them in my next LM4 but I'm planning on a test fit just to see if they work.

     

    Strange you're not getting such a positive click any more lee, my PTS selector set were a very nice improvement over the stock selector in every respect including positive locking in different positions.

     

    I would have thought so as well,as I have always had good results with the PTS kit, when I'm not away working, I should probably compare the two and see if the selector section is different.

  5. I have one of the Magpul ami selectors on my Mega Arms, installation was very simple, just push out the old selector and push in the new one. The only thing I don't like is the selector mechanism no longer has the nice, definite click between settings!

     

    Hoping I can get one of the Bad *albatross* ones instead, if they every get made for GBBRs.

  6. If only I could find a case deep enough

    for this project for my WE HK416 GBBR

    Like the size is no much bigger than a pistolcase

    From the hanlde that looks like a Hardigg Storm Case, they have been taken over by Pelican now as well!

     

    Having a quick look, it may well be a iM2370 case, link below:

  7. Wow! You just made my day!

     

    I took the chance and ordered it all from WGC yesterday so ive been a bit nervous.

    Though its called First Company from wgc, i think its the same.

    What do you think ?

     

    Glad to be of help!

     

    I had the same worry when I bought mine. The First Factory part is also sold as Laylax by some of the other suppliers. I had major issues searching for it as under the First Factory brand 

     

    Not the greatest pic, but mine is below!

     

    SCAR H

  8. Im sry for this offtopic question, but i wonder if the laylax rail would dit the heavy model asweal? Otherwise i might get the l instead, but im really fond of the H version.

    Thanks

     

    I have the Laylax rail on my Scar H, fits really well and looks awesome! Just be aware that when you undo the side rails, the bolts that hold these on are loose and can fall out of place.

  9. I have also just bought the set to go into a G&P Troy M7 and replace the AWS Raptor that has always been problematic.

     

    Good points on the ASCU:

     

    • Better cabling than the Raptor
    • Better tracking system for selector plate and cycle completetion
    • Comes complete with the selector plate and everythiing needed to fit it.

    I did find I needed to Dremel out a couple of areas of the gear box, but fine after that.

     

    I had identical issues with the hop up unit as well, barrell fitted like a batton in the Albert Hall, and after just catching the microswitch, the whole switch broke in half!

     

    Glad its not just me!

  10. So at the risk of annoying the die hard Nam players, has anyone fitted the RAS kit to this?

     

    Bought the kit and although it doesn't come with any instructions, it seems that the 4 screws for the RAS hand guard are too small and the locking plate is too thick!

     

    Before I start modifying everything, any advice would be appreciated…

  11. Really weighing up an MFG with a KWA mp7.... The extra 10 rounds in the clip and generally more availability counts for the FPG. Decisions, decisions...

     

    I have had both, I loved the MP7 and ran that as my main gun for ages. Have just sold it as I bought a G&P M7A1 and have kept the FPG.

     

    Accuracy and FPS is better on the MP7, but the FPG is alot of fun!

  12. Just picked og these up, have read the whole thread, ut can't find any battery recomendations?

     

    I have some 7.4 Lipo stock tube batteries for my M7A1, but what does everyone recommend for the Stoner? Would an 11.4v 30C be (fun) overkill, or would it just wreck the gear box?

  13. They are not that far from me.

     

    Both times I have visited their store in person. Alex was warm, welcoming and cheerful, very helpful and when I mentioned that I saw his add on Arnies, even gave me 10% off!

     

    Have visited with my wife both times and each time she has been welcomed, and felt part of the conversation. As someone above mentioned, this is how stuff should be done! Can't recommend him highly enough!

     

    Just wish I had more money to spend there!

  14. Hey guys

     

    Thought I would throw this one open to the brain trust!

     

    Did my usual after skirmish strip down and cleaning (remove bolt, clean insides and barrel), last night I went to clean the mags and was playing around with the MP7 and have notices that the fire selector is now alot harder to switch between positions. Semi to Auto is ok, but Safe to semi takes quite a bit of a push to switch to semi.

     

    I am sure that is something simple, but thought I would check before I cause permanent damage!

  15. For a sling, I use one of the Magpul PTS slings, attached to one of these

     

    http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/accessories/sli...-ksc-mp7a1.html

     

    Only problem is that the sling connection uses the upper bolt, and screws into this, so the quick take down doesn't work anymore!

     

    The sling I use is this one:

    I used a spare split ring from a grenade for the front sling mount for when I convert the sling to two point to sling behind my back.
