Use the PMC. That should set you for the right type of receiver (non- side folder) and a longer barrel, which is a million times easier to cut to size than trying to extend the 74u

hmm mixed feellings with that one. While I love what WII Tech has done for the WE AK platform (still lacking a valve locker, for whatever reason), I believe WE internals on the AR platform are durable enough, specially anything produced in the recent years. So... are they needed? probably not. Still might get some just because the outstanding WII quality
-
Well, Hephaestus is half the cost of WII's, and has much better quality and twice the pieces than Well's. So to me, it's still the best option. Even if I have to drill, thread and screw in a M3 grub screw to secure the hammer head to prevent the typical separation. Surface finish was ridiculously rough on the first batch, but they fixed that and come perfectly smooth since the very second batch.
-
I'm confused, are you referring to the replicas or the mags there? The Well is at 180-200USD, while WE's is 320, but can be regularly bought at $230. To me it's still worth the extre cash, without a doubt. ----- Do the new mags still weigh a ton?
-
Guess you mean the Well AK74, right?
-
Sounds louder than the real thing
-
wait... is that an AKM type gas block? Anyway... how's the build quality?
-
Because people get really nuts about the internal "realism", and the VSS / VAL is a striker fired weapon as opposed to hammer fired, which prevents the use of regular GBBR mechanics as the striker would be in the way of the nozzle and blowback unit. I've been designing an alternative approach, with the striker acting as a piston and cylinder setup, so the bb propulsion was pretty much as a springer, while the bolt reset was taking care of by the GBB part. I was sure I had a similar post here at Arnies from where most of the collaborations came from, but I cannot seem to find it... Any

nope, both the upper and lower thirds are the "female" type, while the central third has both male endings. Furthermore, the wall dimensions are different, so not even machining a "sex change" on one of them will make it work together When making drum magazines for my WE RPK, I've spend A LOT of time and money on machinists that failed time and time again to make such arrangements, so I ended up just going the hobo way and used the upper third only, closing it at the base with a good thick chunck of steel epoxy. Surprisingly enough, it was tested up to the max of my low pressure regula
-
Now that's a whole new level of EPIC. Outstanding work! Maybe you can convert the magazines by discarding the lower third of the internal tank, so it'll look much more convincing. Which is the base gun btw? LCT?
-
Great. Can you check the if the nozzle return spring issue is fixed as well? BTW, we are talking about a new gen of Well AKs, or are those parts just redesigned spares?
-
So this should prevent the exploding rear trunnions, which was the biggest problem in the earlier gen. Too bad the price now has doubled.
-
Nice review. As for the "CM" brand, is not a brand at all. Just an acronym used by some websites for China Made guns / stuff. Also CM-nnn are the typical model # for CYMA guns
-
Nope, I meant FG-Airsoft's LFS discs, some sort of CNC shims that goes inside the nozzle output part, right in front of the floating valve return spring, which restricts the nozzle output diameter, and therefore, the FPS. Supplementing the floating valve at the back by gluing a shim there usually works OK too. Weaker hammer springs normally don't change a thing, except rendering your gun unable to open the output valve at higher pressures. As long as the hammer has enough strength to open the valve, you can't change the FPS with the valve spring, the output valves return springs,

Awesome review, thanks! So it's pretty much an M4 lol Really great they have that kind of hop ups with AEG-like nubs and VSR buckings and barrels, means you can use the full Maple Leaf combo Those types of seal cups expand at higher pressures. So doing that test slowly will provide no seal at all, but doing the exact same thing only much faster you'll see far better compression than in other type of seal.
-
I'm gonna ask the painfully obvious... have you tried different bbs?
-
WE CO2 magazine is not rare, it simply doesn't exist at all. Does the WE gas mags work well in the Well guns, despite the different height inside the receiver? looks like it would leak between the gas route and the nozzle
-
Actually looks pretty much like Well mags. And weigh a ton, just like them Item Weight (gram) 774
-
Try with the OEM nub, or better yet find a Maple Leaf concave one. In my experience Maple Leaf buckings never really go well with Prometheus flat nubs.
-
Good to hear that. About the accuracy, which barrel and which nub are you using with that Autobot bucking?
-
If you're loosing air though the pin, a tiny drop of thread locker (LOW torque) will help seal it. The WE P90 is known to be one of the most consistent GBBRs ever, if not the most consistent, due to the internal gas reservoir acting as a sort of expansion chamber. So the inconsistency you're experiencing is a clear sign that something is wrong. It might be: 1) The floating valve failing to do it's job. If you're running NPAS, then that's your problem. If running stock floating valve, check the status of the valve and the spring, and make sure the valve is sealing when it's on the forward p
-
That's not an issue at all. I drop my mags all the time when fast loading, never had a single problem. Dropping is totally safe. Falling on your gun mag first could potentially cause that lock to break... but better have a broken plastic lock, than have further gun damage or the magazine pot metal cracking.
-
I've read that before... but really, what's wrong with the plastic rear lock? I've never, ever, ever seen a WE mag fail there at all. And we're running 30+ mags in our 5 AKs in a weekly fashion.
-
Is the bolt still able to close and work properly?
-
yeah... that's where you're supposed to switch to a higher pressure gas. 15ºC is definitely a temperature for propylene (that is, Red Gas / Map Pro)
