  1. The stock TM routers work the best for me, Merlin routers give less kick.  The shape of the hole isn't really important, it's that it sits further forward by ~2mm.  Make sure when you screw it in from the back the nozzle isn't pushed forward, and if you're using a protection pad, try without it.  

    Also, try shooting the gun without the mag release, holding the mag at different heights each time to see if it improves anything.  

  2. On one of the first batch Umarex VFCs that I worked on, I had to polish the bottom of the bolt carrier heavily to get it to fire smoothly in full auto.  Make sure to relube everything as well, preferably with a non-aerosol oil.  

  3. It seems my Merlin BBU actually works better with TM gas routes than with the provided ones.  I tested with 2 TM 5.1 magazines and 2 Prowin magazines.  Both kick harder than stock with the TM gas routes, while with the Merlin gas routes, one mag kicks almost as hard and one mag barely manages to lock back for each shot. 
    For the standalone Prowin IPSC mags, the Merlin gas routes are not compatible, as Prowin gas routes have a different shape at the bottom, so using Merlin gas routes cause the gun to vent.  This can be fixed with some gasket sealant, but I didn't have to do this as the Prowin mags worked without changing gas routes.  Both kicked harder than with the stock TM BBU as well.  For the Prowin conversion kits though, the Merlin gas routes should work.

    Otherwise, everything is great.  Cycling is much smoother thanks to the continuous surface for the hammer.

  4. Don't know if you can put a Marui or Stark 18c BBU in a 17 slide, but you can put a WE 18c BBU in a 17 slide.  To make it semi only, you just have to add a spacer to the auto sear trip lever to keep it in semi position.

  5. The Guarder frame will not work with the WE as the WE G19 uses a G17 style inner frame while the KJW and WE G26 use a G26 style frame.  The WE G19 inner frame's pin holes will not line up with the holes on the Guarder frame.

    If you want to use this frame, you will need to buy a KJ or Guarder G19 inner frame, and the corresponding hop up unit/outer barrel.

  6. Prohandgun slide set with TM stainless lower and misc parts.

    Also, I don't recommend the AKA Gundam magwell at all, they used a ball cut instead of a chamfer, so mag changes are barely any better than stock. 

  7. It looks like the screws in front of the bolt carrier are used to hold in a nozzle retainer.  I don't see the usual retainer that's inserted from the top.  The part sticking out near the bolt catch paddle may be the valve knocker lock.  I'm not 100% sure though.  

    Kinda disappointing to hear the recoil isn't as crisp as the M4.  Would it be possible for you to measure the diameter of the nozzle o-ring?
