It happens to both KSCs and KWAs, it's a fault on a design level of the platform. I've had it happen on all my KSCs/KWAs (Cz75, Mk23, HK USP compact)
-
Hi, is anyone still having problem with double feed in 2 last shot on KSC/KWA Hk45?
mine still have it although i've sanded the feeding ramp, switched the BBU(breech and loading nozzle) with my USP, even using my USP magazine.
Is there any more solution that i could do?
Thanks in advance..
The jaming issues with KSC/KWA guns on the last two shots are related to the feeding ramp plus the design on the magazines.
There is little you can do to resolve that, sadly.
Sometimes, loading the magazine to full capacity helps.

The hammer on my VFC full size broke after a bit over 1300 shots. The tab that retains the spring on the hammer just snapped clean.

Might as well post it here, detonator is already working on a marui HK45 slide.
Coming soon, apparently

Oh wow.....

This has been the fashion since the P226 / Hi-Capa / 1911 / Glock models onwards. The 1911 one I have never noticed any issue with bar the one I keep slap loading but then that is me treating it very, very rough so as to be expected.
Also can anyone answer the question I posted in the news thread: Is this a pinned or screwed type magazine?
Finally does the single action part of the thumb safety work well for cocked and locked carry? With the KWA and KSC models this can be over-ridden with a hard pull.

The safety on the marui is not true to RS. When the safety is engaged the trigger is disconnected and doesn't do anything at all.
On the plus side, it should work well for cocked and locked.

Hm, youre right about the xdm, it might actually be the same part number. the px4 is a normal cylinder though. i guess they just made a big deal about it on the HK45's box
I know the XDM requires you to take off the slide. Is the PX4 especially difficult to field strip? It would be stupid if marui just implements something so convenient only if accessing the hop up is a pain otherwise.
Easier than a glock, doesn't even require you to pull the slide back. It's actually easier to manipulate the hop wheel when field-stripped though, I can't get my finger in that chamber properly.
Also, the first marui to have the new 15mm cylinder is the 5-7. After that, PX4, XDM, now the HK45.
Very disappointed about the slide catch.
-
Splendid review! such detail! thanks for your efforts but I'll give this one a pass.
I'm seriously worried about marui if they start being THIS lazy with the fake ambi slide release and all.

Man, it's like you took that first picture with a pin hole camera I made in primary school!
jkInteresting. Well, if detonator or DyTac makes some 10-8 sight replicas I'll be happy. How's the front sight installed?
The camera itself works like a primary schooler made it. Anyhow... the front sight is held in place by a plastic post installed from the inside part of the slide, that's why everyone's sight feels spring loaded.
It might be compatible with RS sights, however I don't have easy access to those so I can't provide more info.
-
It is bizarre.... ah well. Some pictures to illustrate the point.
First one of the sight itself taken by yours truly, with a camera that challenges cameras everywhere else to be as un-focused as itself.
And now a picture taken from a japanese blog, edited by me:
As you can see, the hex screw from the sight just pushes down on the BBU, while the screw that holds the bbu in place goes into the sight. Too bad, to be honest I was expecting the sights to be RS compatible.
-
Unless I somehow got a different VFC M&P design, the BBU screws into the rear sight (a la marui glock). The hex screw on the sight is mostly decorative (it actually screws but serves no function).
-
Whut about the friggen sights ?!
Time for some pics. Please ignore the GM costa glock, I got it out for the x300 clone but I thought it might make for a beautiful background.
Now for some new info about this thing:
- The rear sight at least is NOT RS compatible, at all. It has a screw hole that holds the BBU in place. So much for that.
- The rotor on the hammer, pins on the frame, recoil guide rod and the slide stop are steel.
- The front of the trigger bar appears to be welded (at least to me)
- The bottom of the magazine (not the baseplate) is held on by 3 screws, the design of that seems somewhat weak to me, but I could be wrong. At least the screws are good quality stainless.
-
So, new outer barrel. Angry Gun reckon the WE and VFC versions are compatible?
WE:
VFC:
I have no idea on how these two can be compatible.
Also, angrygun's barrel is aluminum, so I'll give it a pass for now.

Kenxin mine turned up today, lovely! Except the hole for the front sight wasnt deep enough for the stock TM screw for some reason? No issue, I can just drill it out a bit more
Yeah, the rear isn't supposed to either, this way makes the print a bit stronger. Be carefull when drilling, otherwise should work fine.
I use pointed screws to sort of thread them.
Just to make sure I was fairly rough with my front sight to see if it would snap, so far works awesome.
I hope the fitting was as good as my print!

I've been using this setup for a few weeks, finally I can use the sights.
Next coming up: warren tactical rear for my G34.

Finally got mine in today, from France at that. A couple of things to note:
- Mine is serialized sta4819, making it slightly older than both the other ones in this thread. I ordered it from France like 2 weeks ago.
- Mine did not have the out of the box barrel wear from factory testing
- The factory grease smells like *albatross*, seriously.
- The magazine is by far the worst part of the gun, more on that later.
So after years and years of waiting for the marui, I finally got an m&p after refusing to get the WE. After having been reading I immediately tested my ambi slide release, and it works. It's just a bit stiff on the right side.
After some fun shooting I got into a very one-time-ever situation. Somehow a bb escaped the magazine mid-insertion and lodged itself in the space between the mag release spring and the frame, locking up the magazine in place. It was quite a struggle to get that thing out. In my struggle I discovered a few interesting things about the magazine.
The baseplate for the magazine is not held by anything. In mine the part that's supposedly pressing down on it (right below the magazine follower spring) is stuck in a more upwards position. That's something to worry about if I was in a crazy skirmish, I might loose the baseplate and not even feel it.
The ugliest thing, however... the lower portion of the magazine itself is not pinned.... it's held on by 3 screws with very VERY thin walls (I'll take pics later).
And what caused (or contributed) to the bb escaping the magazine, the follower can and will tilt backwards a bit.
Otherwise it's pretty much on-par with the review. The front sight feels spring loaded but has no side play. My particular pistol does have an audible reset for the trigger (no reason for it not to, it's a G18 mech in disguise). Lastly, mine has a surprisingly healthy recoil spring. The only thing that catches the slide is the G18 mech being what it is.
The M&P so far works well and is snappy. Pics will come later.
Also will someone please try RS sights on? I'm dying to know if they're compatible.

Ofcourse I wouldn't mind. I don't have contacts nor money to print sets but I don't mind someone producing them.
-
Made them myself, actually, and got Shapeways to print them. Aside from having to thread them youtself and paint the dots, they're nice.

Testing 3d printed tall sights for marui's G17......they work.

Cool. SD barrel it is then. Now to track one down. Anyone know anywhere where they are still available? I can see G18 ones and some G17 CCW but you need CW for the Osprey right?
Dentrinity.

It's kind of bizarre... I'm still getting used to the RMR. My splits are identical to regular irons for some reason.....
Then again I'm very used to the high bore axis of a c-more on a racegun and even more so to regular irons. I keep catching myself putting the glock on the same height as my 2011 racegun and wondering where the hell the dot is....
-
The gunsmodify slide set recoil is fairly mild , the RMR that came with it is still holding up.
The RMR that came with the ace 1 died from recoil. The ace 1 set has a very very nice kick to it (much stronger than the GM set).

Lovely and rare piece Desert!

The comp and the slide racker are 3d printed and of my own design. I screwed up the comp design a bit but the slide racker works perfectly!
