MDK_Marshal Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Any chance of posting pics, specifically of the selector mechanism (obviously) If all else fails, I'm going to be back up in leicester on monday, so I can take a look at it if you can get it to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Jaager Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 sorry, fixed now, i think anyway. basicly id moved it too far forward, ive moved it back slightly and now it works. sorry for the false allarm guys i am noob!! Link to post Share on other sites
Pendra Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I removed every part that had something to do with the fire selector. Including the selector switch, the plate and the cut off lever. After that put black insulation tape to the back side of the body and added 2 component liquid epoxy. It filled the hole evenly. Actually looked better than the my earlier try with 2 component solid epoxy. Link to post Share on other sites
crablegs Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 What is the point for full auto only? Link to post Share on other sites
dirtyharry.44 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 the point for full auto only is simply because the real mp40 is full auto only, and the selector switch looks pretty dumb . so how do you guys like the agm mp40...I ordered one a few days ago. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 It´s a great airsoft weapon but it has a very nasty HopUp unit and standard AEG inner barrels won´t fit. Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ive been thinking for some time now that the mp40 hop unit looks very much like an AK hop unit, with a few bits shaved off. could someone with the actual hop unit compare them and maybe try and mod an AK hop unit to fit?

Anatonic Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Has someone not tried this already? I know there was a hop 'fix' by someone by the name of Taffy who replaced the inner barrel with a TM one and butchered the existing hop unit to perform much better. I personally haven't done this as the fix looks rather 'bodged', even if people seem to think it improves the gun no end. I'm sure there was a lengthy discussion about using an AK hop but I don't know of anyone that has tried it. Here is the guide, hosted by Digga - written by Taffy: http://www.diggah.net/docs/Taffys_MP40_Hop_Fix.pdf Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah, I know of that fix, but modding an AK chamber seems like it would be easier to me. and no one has tried that AFAIK Link to post Share on other sites
Anatonic Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah - seems like a sensible idea to be honest and would improve it no end without hacking away at the original hop unit. You'd just remove the inner barrel / hop and replace it with a TM barrel and AK hop. I'll give it a go when I can get a hold of one and just see what the crack is and see if it's doable. To be honest, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work - it's just getting it to fit which is half the battle. If anyone else is attempting this as well, post up how you're finding it.

migliore1 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 i ordered an agm mp40 from airsplat.com... but i got a TSD mp40... and the stupid barrel was bent to the right... i straightened it with a hammer but it doesnt really look likes its exactly straight. everytime i get an airsoft gun... either the sights are wobbily or the barrel is bent.,,, my life stinks why me? why do i always have to suffer.. why cant anyone else that orders airsoft guns suffer... always has to be me huh? i guess that.. God hates me...i loose all hope now..God never liked me... he always wanted me to die...you guys are lucky... god loves you but not me. WHY ME? NEVER GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO ME. WHY ME?

Lon Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 My AGM MP40 is one of my favorites... I personally made mine shoot around ~600 rpm. taktaktaktak... Accuracy at long range isn't too great, thanks to the meh hop, but I use mine more for CQB anyway. For the full auto "mod", I personally just put a good enough sized spring between the selector and left side panel so that the selector won't have a chance to move, i.e. it'll just stay in the auto position all the time.
