Jorge14 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I have a weird problem that I haven't seen anyone else have, the extendable part(http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...33TAN_srch_scar) of the stock just fell out. Does anyone have a pic of it removed/how it attaches? Thanks a lot. Edited June 25, 2009 by Jorge14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have a weird problem that I haven't seen anyone else have, the extendable part(http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...33TAN_srch_scar) of the stock just fell out. Does anyone have a pic of it removed/how it attaches? Thanks a lot. If you go to post #6 of this thread and look at the last picture you'll see the front end of the stock and there are 2 hex head bolts there. The bottom one threads into a bolt that's captured in the little metal track in the slither part of the stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge14 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Alright, i see how it works now, pain in the as though. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Not really, you just need the hex key to remove or install. Of couse if either the nut or bolt goes astray then it's drag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge14 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I was doing it wrong, I was trying to put the metal piece in while the bolt was still on the screw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-=OGGY=- Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Hi, I am considering buying a VFC SCAR, so I have a feew questions about the gun: 1.) What is the barrel length when in CQC configuration? 2.) Are there any after-market hop-up chambers made for the gun? 3.) I am guessing everything in the gearbox is V2 compatible, but the gearbox itself is unique (because of the ambi-controls); is this correct? 4.) Expanding on Question 3, I am guessing the motor is a long type? 5.) More of a technical question, but what type of cylinder should be used if I plan to run it is short configuration? (ported or not) 6.) Are there any other little things that a potential buyer should know about? 7.) Also, I almost forgot, are there any guides/explinations for how to get a MIAD to fit or to get a PMAG to feed properly? Thanks! EDIT: *fruitcage* I knew I would forget something 8.) How does the color (FDE version) look in the field? I will be playing in a mostly woodland area, so I know the gun isn't exactly going to blend in, but will it look completly ridiculous or will it look decent? 9.) Trademarks are pretty important to me, so as long as I order from overseas will they come intact? 10.) Is the gun wired for Deans? 11.) Finally, what size are the bearings/bushings?

What is the barrel length when in CQC configuration? I'm not sure 2.) Are there any after-market hop-up chambers made for the gun? No, but VFC replacement parts are abundant via WGC's website 3.) I am guessing everything in the gearbox is V2 compatible, but the gearbox itself is unique (because of the ambi-controls); is this correct? That's correct 4.) Expanding on Question 3, I am guessing the motor is a long type? Yes 5.) More of a technical question, but what type of cylinder should be used if I plan to run it is short configuration? (ported or not) I usually see ported cylinders in SBR setups but I'm not sure 6.) Are there any other little things that a potential buyer should know about? A 7.4v 25c 2200mah battery is the perfect fit for the stock. That would be my recommendation for any SCAR users. 7.) Also, I almost forgot, are there any guides/explinations for how to get a MIAD to fit or to get a PMAG to feed properly? I don't know Thanks! EDIT: *fruitcage* I knew I would forget something 8.) How does the color (FDE version) look in the field? I will be playing in a mostly woodland area, so I know the gun isn't exactly going to blend in, but will it look completly ridiculous or will it look decent? You're fine. It's a nice color when you see it in person. 9.) Trademarks are pretty important to me, so as long as I order from overseas will they come intact? I got mine from UNcompany, and they were fully intact, just covered with tape. 10.) Is the gun wired for Deans? No 11.) Finally, what size are the bearings/bushings? 6mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-=OGGY=- Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks for the reply! I think I am actually going to wait it out for the VFC GBB SCAR that was recently anounced; it should look for the most part the same but it will obviously be completley different inside.

Thanks for all this usefull information contained on this topic. related with that question, is "out of the box" lipo friendly or you need to install a mosfet unit? thanks!

Mig1 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Quick question guys. I have the firing auto on semi problem that some people had been reporting. So I installed a guarder cut off lever to see if that straightened it out. It didn't. But I'm not sure I installed it right. Never done a cut off lever before. It seems to have some play in it, not just on the rotational axis, but it wiggles a bit too. When I installed it I noticed that it seemed as if the screw should go down tighter, but it didn't. When I was done, I noticed that I had a shim laying on the table. Did VFC actually put a shim on the cut off lever? Is my Guarder cut off lever somehow out of spec? Thanks guys.

Danke Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I put a Guarder lever in mine and didn't see any shims there. I think the lever has to have free movement, that's a tiny spring that pushes it open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks for all this usefull information contained on this topic. related with that question, is "out of the box" lipo friendly or you need to install a mosfet unit? thanks! I find the term "lipo ready" to be very misleading. Any stock AEG, be it a TM M4, or a VFC SCAR, or a Classic Army G3, or even a JG M4, are lipo ready. I wouldn't say they are 11.1v lipo ready, but just about any gun can run a 7.4v 20c or 25c lipo with no troubles. So, in this case, I would say the VFC SCAR is absolutely lipo ready. I ran mine without a mosfet at 465fps for LONG time, with no ill effects. Quick question guys. I have the firing auto on semi problem that some people had been reporting.

So, did the problem only develop after it was disassembled once? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mig1 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have actually disassembled it many times. This is the first time I decided to do something about the full auto firing on semi problem by replacing the cut off lever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Gotcha. I was just thinking it may have not been reassembled correctly, specifically in regards to the alignment of the fire selector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fisherpruce Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 This is an awesome review. With all the different versions out there this review answered a ton of questions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I would like to point out that although the book you get says the AEG will take up to 12v battery my trigger contacts were toasted on a 10.8v (non-lipo) after about 7/8 skirmishes. So id recommend a 9.6v Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Can someone tell me whether I can use third party hop rubbers / nubs or do I have to use VFC's. Looking into the scar SSR but theres no point in that when I can't use a firefly ( I think ) v-rubber or a guarder clear rubber with a big out H-nub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 No problems with the rubber, you just need to be patient when you install the barrel. I haven't used that nub but the arm itself seems utterly normal. I have a guarder clear in mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Danke Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'd get some liquid on the rubber to help it slide, and maybe put the barrerl in the freeer first and have the chamber at room temp. I wetted mine down with silcon which helped it slip on but it took a while to shoot dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yea, the hop up chamber of these guns are VERY tight. It's tough to assemble, but it does mean you're getting a really good seal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
