  1. Suggestions for new buyer using GG: Get RA-TECH (or similar) hopup at once. Rock'n'roll ?????? Profit! (sorry, been drinking heavily, above is still true though)
  2. Not that close yet, some major things left. It also depends on the availability of WA spare parts. Example, no aftermarket bolt exist yet and I haven't seen one as WA spare part yet, but it shouldn't be impossible to get. (Airsoft surgeon should be close tho) Front and stock should be replaceable completely except hopup parts. If you get available WA parts then you still need (afaik): Receiver, Bolt, Charging handle, various pins, various "buttons" safety/boltrelease/magrelease, misc internal parts I'm unable to name. It's possible some of the above can be replaced with RS parts. If r
  3. Something new from Guarder (don't think I have seen this before) Not too exciting but it hints about more parts. Still, I haven't found anything else for the WA at their site so I don't know what they are doing. Guarder is usually good at making reinforced nozzles and stuff but man are they slow producing things. Link to Guarder (intrudershop)
  4. Loads of new WA parts from G&P comming http://www.gp-web.com/en/news.php No bolt yet, but Sear, Hammer pin set, Grips, M16A2 barrel and front kit, M203 front kits for M4/M16 and also a M5 RAS front set. Edit: Anyone know if the WA needs special M203? I just assumed they could use pre-existing ones for "real" barrel. Hmm.. looks like they actually are their old M203s. Not that I really need one. But I do wonder what a M16 length inner barrel would chrono if such would exist... probably too much with GG, but you 134a users might have use of it? What I am gonna get is the hammer pin
  5. Yes, it's the complete hopup as far as I can see, with the exception of an important o-ring that's not included in the picture. It's possible it's still included or also possibly the new WA rubber designed without it as hinted by RA-TECH. But I'm not sure of either. I'd rather have a complete hopup chamber package from, for example, RA-TECH. Will wait some time to see if complete hop-ups will arrive from other manufacturers. I don't understand what you are asking about the loading nozzle?
  6. Noticed a few new WA spare parts on WGC: Western Arms M4 Loading Nozzle Set ( No. 1-7 ) Western Arms M4 Dial & Chamber Set ( No. 45, 48-52 ) Western Arms M4 Magazine Packing Set ( No. 216-219 ) Not really that useful perhaps, except magazine packing. It's reinforced parts we need. Still, a complete extra hopup gives the possibility to switch uppers easily, which I was planning to do sometime. Using the G&P long front + precision barrel for semi sniper style of play and the original front + inner barrel for more fps limited play.
  7. Perhaps I should update with my progress. I've managed to make my gun shoot a lot better now. Not perfect but failure at 1 in 30 something. Perhaps even better. Was gonna test it at the weekend game, but I missed it unfortunately and I haven't really felt like working on the gun lately. But now I got my full length precision barrel now so I'll do some work on it withing a few days with perhaps some more adjustments to make it work perfectly. Still, I had a few missfires with the stock gun so we'll see if it can be perfect. I somewhat solved my problem with some electrical tape. Put a
  8. No I don't think that is normal. Maybe the bolt get stuck at the bb-follower thingy that pushes the bb's up for some reason? Haven't seen this behavior on mine, but only used two different magazines so far. Try to see where it gets stuck, it might be something that's misaligned. Thanks for the info, it's very interesting. I'll definitely get a new hop up rubber when I get a chance. Meanwhile I'll try to get it working later today. I have some ideas I want to try, now that I know what the problem is. Western Arms is a harsh mistress, but then again, I already knew that. At least this
  9. Well, it looks like my problem is with the plunger. Or the chamber. Anyways the BB goes too far inside. Only when manually loading a BB in chamber it shoots ok. When it self load after a shot it goes too far inside which really fcks with WA's gas system. I just remembered how easy this was to check when writing my earlier post. Just remove the magazine and look inside at the bolt (with lots of light) and slightly move the bolt back and forward to see the plunger move (requires a BB chambered). Well, at least I know whats going on now. Will investigate further tomorrow. Can
  10. Hmm.. it went from bad to worse. Now it doesn't fire the bb's out of the barrel, they mostly just roll out. After several checks I still don't know what the problem is. Not really blaming the new chamber yet, it did at least work fairly ok yesterday. I did notice some strangeness then but it was like one missfire out of ten or more shots which I was going to look at today. Now it's like one in twenty that works, barely. Tried reassembling it several times. With more or less hop up. Different magazines. Different outer barrel. Added plenty of silicone oil in the gun. Possible ca
  11. Bah, it seems I was a bit wrong above (btw I can't find any edit button on old post), short description to remove outer barrel with picsies! Remove RIS. Remove the tiny hex located on the "middle" part of the outer barrel. On the picture it's near the plier. Hold both the base of the gun and the top of the barrel and get a good grip with pliers. Turn CLOCKWISE, or look at the picture below, where I would move pliers towards myself to loosen it. After several turns it will loose from the bottom part of the barrel as seen below. After this you only need
  12. Nice find BaBaBooey, thanks. Seems like I put the o-ring in correctly then. chillindrdude: I'll see if I can take a few photos later for reference. You have some info in the link from BaBaBooey, but I did not remove the outer barrel like they did. I unscrewed the middle part so it split. Short description: Remove RIS upper and lower part. Remove one tiny hex in the middle part of the barrel. I then sat with the receiver in between my knees and held onto the upper part of the barrel pointing up. Used pliers (Waterpump pliers) to grip the middle part and then I could turn it lose. (I
  13. I received my RA-TECH chamber on monday but was waiting for my new inner barrel to arrive. Since that one won't get here before the weekend I went ahead and tried to install the chamber anyway, because I also received a few extra magazines (none leaking) to have fun with this weekend game. It took awhile to take it apart and put it together again, but mostly because it always takes longer the first time. The outer barrel is rather strange to take a part at first, but I managed to do it. Then the old chamber was sitting a bit tight in the upper receiver so that took awhile too, to rea
  14. Thanks, forgot about them it seems. But I couldn't find enough info about their ordering process so I gave up for a few hours... and then Boomarms finally woke up and sent me their quote. Now the second stage of waiting begins... Also found out that RA-TECH have my new chamber in the mail already... happy happy joy joy! Thinking about something different... I wonder if there'll be a M16 length front for it someday. Heh.. possible PDI inner barrel with M16 length.. power, no? Was thinking about making it into a us army DMR, but that would be next year earliest anyway, but it wil
  15. uscmCorps: Damn I envy you... I don't even know how to get hold of even a single extra magazine. Boomarms doesn't seem to respond to ordering. Don't see them elsewhere... Also haven't heard anything from RA-TECH since paying.. Me neither, tell us more! According to their schedule they should arrive soon, maybe you just have to ask them for one.
