  1. OMG 330m/s ? Thats over 1000fps .. no wonder people use them for sniping J/k aside ... too bad i can't find the wood stock for it in Europe. I've been eyeballing this puppy since it came out

    KJW M4

    Wonder if the new bolt will mean that no "old" parts will be available ...
  3. Just plinkered with one today. Unfortunately the plastics are not up to par with the WE and the recoil is unsatisfactory compared to the WE. I only did an indoor test so can't speak for longer ranges but i wasn't very impressed considering that it was 50€ more expensive than the WE. But at least now people have choice and more competition is always good! Can't comment on full auto ( it came from a German shop ) nor cooldown ( it's frakin 40ºC around here ). The video is from a german so semi is all they have/allowed to have
  4. I just managed to install a brand new nozzle assembly and ... still no full auto I'm now seriously stumped to why this is happening
  5. And i like how in the end, when in slow mo you can see a bit of plastic shooting out of the ejection port. Nice touch
  6. Yeeeey for 40ºC weather and skimpy clothes !

  7. I've used epoxy with success, just make sure you really clean the parts first. In case you've noticed it too late and the hole is already damaged, unless it's damaged beyond repair, you might try to counterbore it so that the epoxy fills everything and "wraps" around the pin.
  8. Yeah i've noticed that too, sort of, you might want to check if your mags are "m4 spec" or "scar spec". The ones made for the SCAR sit a tiny bit higher than the M4 ones because they had an oring beneath the seal. I forgot about this when i was installing the conversion kits and just noticed it when i began to see "slam" marks on the feeding lips, they were getting slammed against the hopup unit when the carrier was hitting the mag.
  9. I ordered a couple of extra nozzles and they left customs today but tomorrow is national holiday here so won't be able to test them until next Friday, let's hope that it fixes my auto issue ... although i'm still trying a few ideas of mine on the original nozzle. The carrier is still being dinged up but after filing it down and giving it a less steep mating angle the "dinging" is much more controlled. I'll still be modding mine though and will bore out the rear section of the carrier and refill it with two custom made "weights" made of aluminium and steel, will also remove material from t
  10. I always take WE "official" release dates with a grain of salt ....

  12. Yes like i said in the M16VN thread, my inner barrel was REALLY wobbly and was literally freely rotating in the hopup unit causing inconsistencies ( and i know at least another user on GGi that experienced the same). Now that you mention it, i did have that problem but the issue was so easy to fix that i actually completely forgot about it I just took the thing down and wrapped the inner barrel in teflon tape. The inner barrel is now tight and snugly and the inconsistency went completely away
  13. Apart from my full auto failing to work, the hopup is really precise. No flyers or inconsistencies in spin.
  14. I did try and see if the old parts would fit the new receiver but after that i went back to the original trigger group. And the hammer that came with my OB M16 is exactly the same as the old one Care to share pics ?
  15. I almost forgot how i love my AW338 ....

    KJW M4

    Ah ah i DID have a KJW when they first got here in EU but mine ( and a friends ) had a faulty hopup unit and considering that i already had way too much guns at home i just sold it. But at the moment i'm selling a LOT of my GBB®s so that i can have one gun ( plus extra upper ) per platform ( WE/VFC/KJW/"Magna" ) since now i do a lot of "airsoft gunsmithing" for a few stores and having a specimen of each helps me alot. And of course, this deal is too sweet to let it pass considering the price and the fact that the guy only played with it once. I know t_hum sells them but i already have a
  17. To be honest i don't know, i just sent them an email directly asking for the parts ( by name )
  18. Ra-tech ? I just bought a CQBR inner and some mag kits from them.

    KJW M4

    Ok so i've been offered a pretty good deal ( at least considering european prices ) for a brand new KJW ( 420€ for the gun plus 7 extra mags, here it would cost over 700€ to get it new ) and so i might get a KJW again. @t_hum ( or anyone that knows ), I can use a AEG inner barrels with some extra cuts correct ? Can someone tell me if the modifications are extensive ( i can get simple machining jobs for free/cheap ). The same with outer barrels right ?
  20. Just for good measure i tried replacing every part with either original spare parts and/or upgraded parts, even made a few extra bolt stops and auto sears. Yes it's possible to make open bolt bolt stops and auto sears, they're both old stock which was filled down to spec. Funny thing is that if i plug the end of the barrel with my finger, there is still enough pressure to trigger the blowback in semi but if i switch to auto it instantly fails. There's definitely something wrong with the auto function .... just can't figure what at this point.
  21. It's like it's getting caught up on something, it either stutters slowly, vents all gas or doesn't reset the trigger. The only reason i'm giving it another chance is because in semi the *badgeress* functions normally, with huge range and very good precision ( considering it's using the stock barrel ). I just ordered a new set of nozzles to see if that fixes the problem. If anything i'll make a semi only dmr out of it
  22. Yeah and i even polished it. I'm guessing it's not just that because i just completely fired one entire mag in semi as fast as i could and the thing didn't even had one hickup. I'm sincerely stumped
  23. Not even a 1000 rounds and the WE M16 is already broken. Yet another POS ... i'm officially ***** right now.

      WE needs to just make a version with all the RA-tech upgrades pre-installed...lol.

      What p*****s me off the most is that the damn gun functions just fine in semi and shoots brilliantly.

  24. And yeeeeeeeeeey ... not even a thousand rounds and the damn thing is already borked As of now i have no auto on my M16, i mean ... i do have auto but it's completely useless. After checking and rebuilding the damn rifle trying to fix the issue to no avail, i noticed something strange on the carrier and voilá ! The spot where the carrier first meets with the hammer not only is it dinged, it's completely obliterated! It's like a freakin crater. So now i'm stuck with semi because the hammer just gets stuck in there and makes full auto completely unreliable. POS ...
