JDKauff5 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 after playing with it for a while i finally figured ou thow to get the upper reciever off. for mine i have to push the pin out and it will slide forward just a little then i have to pull back the bolt and wiggle it around and it will slide forward a little more then when i close the dust cover it will move forward more then you just pull back the bolt and lift a littl to get it over the nub ontop of the gerabox then it will slide the rest of the way off.

Magsz Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, Is it possible for someone to tell me how this compares (internally) to the KWA M4 CQB. Also could someone possibly tell me how it performs, groupings approximate range. Any answers would be great Thanks EDIT: Started a topic in newbie zone instead as I think I will get more response. Mods feel free to delete this. Sorry Its an excellent performing rifle since its upgraded right out of the box. On any m4 that i buy or build the first thing that i do is replace the hopup unit and bucking. The King Arms gun comes with the upgraded unit already in place. As far as groupings go im sorry but it shoots like an airsoft gun. Its good out to about 120 feet. Rate of fire is about 15 rounds per second on a 9.6 volt battery.

Thanks for the help magz really appreciate it. Sounds like (from the response I am getting from my topic is that it is higher quality that the KWA but the KWA is a more skirmishable rifle. Have you experienced the KWA magz (please tell the performance of the KA compared to it, if you have)? I think I will go for KA (can't find the KWA anywhere in the UK) Sorry to ask questions. Last one, promise. Couldn't find anything when searching (comparison, KA to KWA) Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Comparatively speaking the KWA mechbox is theoretically better since it features 8 and 9mm ball bearings but practically speaking it really doesnt make all that much of a difference. Are you planning on running an 11.1 volt lipo in your gun? If not then just get the KWA. Its a better looking rifle and it performs just as well if not better than the KWA.

Thanks so much you gave the answer I was hoping for. Really appreciate your help, KA it is! +1 Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Erm, correction in my above post. I meant to say that if you're not running lipos you should just get the KA. I accidentally added the W because im retarded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bottis Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 When I got my KA M4 the gun didn't semi-fire, only full-auto. But now I got the repaired gun back and it works FINE! I guess the cut-off-lever was damaged or there was a factory defect. Thanks to FarEast for great review! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

w0lfy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 After using this gun for some time I can say that it's a great piece of kit, but only if you are prepared to change the following: - flash hinder; - dust cover; - bolt release lever; - forward assist button; - rear sling swivel. Why change all these parts? Well, after a while, they have the tendency to rust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Why change all these parts? Well, after a while, they have the tendency to rust. But uhh... that would indicate those parts are made of steel. Maybe it's a better idea to simply maintain the weapon properly instead of just let it rust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FarEast Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Ok for those of you having issues taking off the top receiver: Make sure the fake bolt is in the closed position, then after puching out the front pin (you don't need to do the back one) pull the cocking handle back a slight fraction whilest pulling the top receiver forward. You may find that you only get about .5cm of pull so give the top receiver a slight twist left and right while working the upper off. I had no issues with the TROY A3 but the BushMaster 24" sniper needed me to do the above a few times before it would come off smoothly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Fareast, a friend of mine has one of the bushie 14.5 inch barreled guns and his selector switch refuses to move properly when the gearbox is in the body. With no gearbox in the gun the selector moves fine. The selector plate also moves freely. Once everything is assembled the selector binds when moving from semi to auto. Any clue what this could be?

With no gearbox in the gun the selector moves fine. The selector plate also moves freely. Once everything is assembled the selector binds when moving from semi to auto. Any clue what this could be? Could be that the lower receiver is ever so slightly bent, get a set of callipers and measure the inner width of the lower, if it is slightly out he'll need to gently and ever so slightly corrct the indentation. The other thing is that his selector switch might be on too tightly, I had mine open yesterday to take photos for the review and I thought I might as well give it a quick check over to make sure everything is tight..... Safe to semi fine, semi to auto became very tight especailly the last .3mm so i had to losen it ever so slightly which solved the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunnermaniac Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Mine arrived today. Wow. I have had a quick fire and the performance is great! Also it sounds so nice and feels outstanding, I will get pics up soon. It is just such good quality from the vertical grip and rail covers to the body and stock. One last thing, it is quite light which is a plus for me as I believe in the lighter the better when it comes to airsoft but this maybe a negative for some people. Cheers for the review far east. Good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunnermaniac Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Not that great pictures but you get the idea. My lightweight setup: My hardcore setup ( ) : Any questions feel free to ask. P.S I was joking around with the last setup, I do realise a m203 and silencer do contradict each other Edited June 28, 2008 by gunnermaniac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jauhonakki Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hop-up unit broke last time I was playing. Also the front sight has started to wobble. Here's a really crappy image I took with mobile phone's camera. http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/882/kuva004in7.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Eh.. What did you do, jam a real loaded magazine in there? Seriously, ive installed well over 45 king arms hopup units and none of them have ever broken. I guess its not out of the question given the fact that these are cast out some pretty craptastic metal.

Jauhonakki Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I guess it was just manufacturing defect or something. Luckily new hop-up units don't cost much and they're easy to assemble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
honkhonk Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hey guys, where do you think I can get a 9.6 v battery that will fit in this stock? I'm planning on buying one of these soon. Can it even handle a 9.6? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Yes, it can handle a 9.6 volt battery. www.redwolfairsoft.com www.cheapbatterypacks.com You will most likely have to send a schematic of the pack to the cheap batterypacks in order for them to make you what you need but they will happily do it.

Dentonboy Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hmm, not sure about the RIS mounted M203... But it is a nice looking 'yet another' Armalite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beta08 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Has anyone noticed that on the left side of the body, "special" is spelled wrong? Has this been fixed? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
