Yes, in my past post it highlights the issue. The issue is the hop depressor is plastic and is too wide, and instead of pushing the rubber through the hop window it pushes onto the barrel. Filing it thinner will fix it.
-
It would be last resort. S&T usually pretty good with response, may take a few days
-
haha you ought to send a picture.

How did the 416 become that? Those VFC buffer tubes will work fine on a 556 platform I can't see how it can't cope with CO2, UNLESS the recoil spring wasn't strong enough on CO2 and there were no additional rubber buffer at the end of the stock tube.
-
Strange thing has happened to my 417. @>30*C in the sun the rifle recoils so bad the BBs are rolling out of the barrel, and occasionally double feeds. So I removed the small return spring of the 417 buffer and placed a thick rubber at the back of the buffer tube, also made it so the buffer travels a little more forward so there is more spring tension as the BCG sits in battery. The problems disappeared.

We parts are cheap enough and good base for ra rech upgrades.

Yeah totally undestand Not strictly a WE, but take a look: Shortened gas tube, Shortened barrel, more the AR18/Galil SAR look. It will have an FNC flash hider, the Noveske is temporary...

Nice AKs are misunderstood, and haven't been exposed to "free market forces" which encourages development and customisation. As much as I like my AR15 SBRs, I feel just as comfortable with my friend's NHM90 w/AIMS sidefolder stock, hitting out reliably to 200m+. They just work, and can throw rocks a long way.

If only it was going at 400fps it would be the ultimate bush warfare weapon.
-
Yeah run GBBs dry is the best. Some steel do need a light oil for protection from oxidation, but more in humid conditions.
-
The P90 issue really depends on how it is used. Speaking from a combination of RS and airsoft experience, most guns are zeroed to hit the spot at 25m to achieve a rough 60m zero(on RS its a 200-300m zero ) depending on velocity of the round and the sight to bore. The greater the sight to bore while hitting the spot at 25m means the rounds will be hitting higher than normal at 40-60m and a longer zero'd range. That means for a weapon with a greater sight to bore have to aim lower than usual between 40-60m to avoid shooting over someone's head, but also means if you are prone or behind

Still do have stoppages but part of the problem is over maintenance or over upgrading/engineering. Just ran a game in an arid sandy dunes area yesterday, had a number of GBBs fail not because anything was broken, but over lubing and upgrading were primary causes of weapon failures. I wonder how the Marui would fair while covered in sand? Would the overcomplicated system fail?

I had a look/play with the WE P90 yesterday. Brand new one on a arid sand/bush field. Positives: - High FPS 430fps on 0.2g - Gas efficiency a hit and miss - Good kick - Good ROF - Body feels good, but slightly lighter weight than expected. Negatives: - P90 grip angle and sight to bore distance is not good for a patrol rifle. (no fault of WE) - Gas mag designs not practical in field conditions. Any debris around that gas O-ring makes the mags leak gas. - Trigger pull on semi was very very stiff, on auto pulling a semi was fine. - The bolt lock design is silly. Rather than

I am sure it should be pretty simple to VSR hop the existing GHK M4 unit if the G5 wasn't "much" work. I just need a guinea pig (looking at my friends' GHKs) Most work was ensuring the VSR hop rubber fitted into the bored out hop unit as when I used a drill, it enlarged the material temporarily but shrink as soon as the drill was removed. Never had that issue on the VFC MP5s or M4s when I did this mod.
-
Yes its G5-06. Finally GHK answered the call. Unfortunately I like my WE M16A1 too much to ditch it for another M4 GBB...
-
Unfortunately I didn't take pictures. Basically: 1) modify the GHK barrel to VSR type with a dremel and a metal cutting disc, from the AEG form into this: (you can use a lathe also, Or just buy a barrel) 2) Bore out the hop unit with a 10mm Milling bit and use your hands to bore it out(I used a drill bit but the GHK hop unit material is really flexible so I switched to a milling bit, I frequently use the 10mm bits for VSR conversions) 3) Using a 10mm dremel grinding bit, polish out the hop unit. 4) Cut off the side tab off the VSR hop rubber with a dremel and a grinding bit
-
Just did a VSR mod to a G5, in response to G5 losing hop from green gas/lubrication use and a deformed hop lip. Works well, much better consistency than the stock rubber. FPS is around the same, 340fps on .25g at 22*C.

Given how brief the GHK M4 has been around vs the amount of documented common problems I would say the GHK has its fair amount of issues. Just because you haven't seen it on yours it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I have had friends who have skirmished with their GHK no more than 6 times in CQB have all found issues. VFC isn't without issues either, but both GHK and VFC have spares accessible and at cheap prices so they aren't all that bad. And yeah, I did say VFC V2 mags. V1 mags are pretty bad, but having skirmished with one for 5 years and knowing how to fix them, they aren't unwork
-
Given GHK has a lot of bells and whistles this is the comparative platforms which are similar. I have excluded the vipers and inokatsu as they are man cave toys and not really practical skirmish pieces. GHK CQBR $475 (Steel BCG, steel FCG, steel barrel) + Spare Mag $55-60 VFC MK18 $380 (Zinc BCG, Steel FCG, Steel barrel) + Spare V2 Mag $48 (Basically puts the VFC gas capacity into the GHK level) + Steel BCG $120 I would say that the VFC is pretty close to the GHK, given the CQBR rail is cheaper than the Mk18 rails and magazine makes up the extra costs. Both similar in system (AEG ho

Yeah it is great isn't it. Thats what got me to buy it, the kick and FPS. It is a more than adequate primary if you play with real/low capacity or if you pick your shots against the hicap crowds. Though, so summarise the issues/solutions found so far: - Sliding stock catch (not steel and will wear over a few rounds --> must replace with steel catch which is included in the box) - Stock FCG (Mushy+ will wear over time --> must replace with steel FCG) - Aftermarket steel FCG (Also mushy + wears bolt carrier --> will require modification before installation else many oth

12 games so far...

I was one of the first to get the WE CB M4 and went through buckets of money to tune it up I was ready to abandon the platform altogether as it was plagued with so much problems. However with the OB platform, comparing against WA type systems (Ino, Viper, WA, AGM G&P), KWA and then the VFC (which, don't get me wrong its a great gun just a lack of kick), the WE is a fantastic platform for the price and the little amount spent on it to function. KWA is great also but for the price I can get 2 WEs. SCAR, G36 and M4 are good, problem is that it does require some knowhow to tune them (

LOL I keep forgetting we are in an airsoft forum, used to CQB with .68cal and .43cal and that was way over the 400fps energy rating. In the other situation, I had CQB with 390fps MP9 and a 420fps MP7 so thats not really that excessive.
-
In all fairness its hard to beat a magazine that size which holds a lot of gas, cooldown will be less.

Disassemble magazine, use Grey RTV silicone gasket sealant in a very very thin layer under the O-ring. Those don't seem to react the the propane being stored there. Then reassemble magazine. Don't use red or green or blue gasket sealants, as they react to the propane. Note: Sorted the auto problem, turns out to be a combination of worn firing pin and worn bolt carrier from the hammer. Hammer needs to be modified to prevent it from wearing the bolt carrier.
