Got Wood?

Whoops wrong thread

Being fit for nothing but sitting around is driving me up the wall. So I dragged my toolbox and spare parts over to the sofa and started to build a 2nd upper from my leftovers. Just need a CW flash hider Full build is a happy blend of old and new styles. Cerakoted receiver and new shaped grip, with old furniture and full length barrel. The 5 trips on my feet I needed to make have reduced my legs to jelly, so that’s me done for the day!

Those grips [emoji1305]

Yep. Will fit fine

Can confirm anything Tm/KJW/WE will fit and work. Any longer mag will fit in a smaller pistol. My G26 will take the 50rd long mags nicely

All that nice stuff and you didn’t change the frame? Why?

At that sort of termperaturr I just go AEG. As I wasn’t too familiar with the rifle yet, or it’s chrono result, I figured putting more powerful gas in wasn’t going to be the best idea. No idea if the Army nozzle would even take it

At 4°c also. Nozzle, I have not. At the very end of the nozzle? It does have one (seen reports some don’t) and moves freely. No idea on tolerances though

So after a couple of indoor games yesterday. Temperature was 4°c, windy, and wet. The rifle could reliably pump out half a mag with individual or double taps, with rests in between. Any more than that and it struggled. It’s fair to expect this given the price point and the weather in my opinion. I did nothing to warm or protect the mags from the cold. Rifle chrono’d 280 with the white FPS restrictive disc on .25s running propane (I found an old van in the house that was still full!) Shimming the spring with a second, harder spring I think caused some inconsistencies, so reverted back to

2008 was when I started playing. Didn’t join any forums for a good while though(ignorance was bliss) Now that Zero In is a mess I’m exclusively on here now. Wish I could change my name from my 6 month long shopping venture haha

Especially for the price tag...

Just go withStock WE, and buys bunch of nozzles. Only thing I ever heard of breaking was nozzles. Still no idea why no ones made a heavyweight Abs/Polymer bolt for a very snappy machine

Ah I didn’t know the button was unrealistic. I’ll be locking the handle to the left and using it more like an MP5 style. Release and let go is what I’ve been doing. I can get the mags into M4 single pouches if they’re right way up, with no base plate on. Will give it a good go this Sunday and see how she does

Looks great. I bought myself a full RaTech build years ago. Cost me £700 out the box and ran like *suitcase*. Stock WE was better!

One thing I forgot to mention, the bolt stop on the mags is a little proactive, a few times the bolt has locked to the rear with 1 round left in the chamber. I’d rather that than it not lock at all, and it’s nice that a bolt release is too large, they’re typically too small

Yeah, but twice the cost. Army ones are £25 a pop which is very good for full sized 40rd AR mags. The weight isn’t really a huge downside for me. Just wish HK hadn’t smoked some of the good stuff before they designed the magazines!

Impressions so far (no range or game time on it) Overall build quality seems good. You could probably tell someone it was the WE version and unless they owned one they wouldn’t know. Plastic is a nice rough finish, not smooth and empty feeling like a JG. Bolt has the same issue as the MP7 from Marui. With the bolt at the rear, gun raised, loaded mag in, sending the bolt home is rather pathetic and did lead to a couple of light strikes. Since finding a 110-120% spring seems difficult, I’ve found another spring the same diameter but shorter, and used that as a buffer at the end. Improvement

Cheers. I usually use Lecky tape and rubber o rings! Haha

Yeah I’d read the we part. Charging handles seem to be a major concern on both but can’t find a pic of a broken one! Deception rubber ordered with it as I figured the army one would be gash. Decepticon as consistency and accuracy more important than range. Thanks Dark, will post plenty of pics, when I get it it’s getting cleaned up and set for a good game next weekend. Snow permitting!

How are people finding their WELL rifles months later? Toying with picking one up as a goofing around bad guy gun

Seen these come out recently. The WE is widely reported to be their best GBBR, but I can’t find s lot of info about Army Rifles, only pistols. Anyone taking the dive on one? £100~ with 2 mags seems silly cheap

Thanks Dark. I tried that, if memory serves the hip unit itself had protruding legs for the barrel to hold it still. An extra pair over the TM, which made a barrel change not possible?

I have a question now these have been out for a good while. I had the kurtz model, and eventually the hop gave out. Adjustment didn’t do anything, and didn’t seem fixable from what I remember. I read a guide on how to swap out the parts for TM style rubber and barrel, but the guide was incorrect in a couple of places which made the swap not possible. Are they still using their proprietary rubber and barrel, and how have other people’s units and rubbers held out?
