Sale Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hot weather would increase the pressure, which increases velocity and blowback... At the cost of increased gas consumption as well. -Sale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GBB Nut Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Anyone else having trouble removing their buffer tube? I had to use a hammer and punch to loosen the nut and still the buffer tube won't unscrew freely... did WA loctite this part? Who else has tried replacing their buffer tube?

hkssr20det Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah mine is loctite'd or glues. I haven't taken a hammer to it, but I had hoped Redwolf had glued mine not WA.... Someone fit a UBR so they removed theirs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inq Eisenhorn Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 @ Janno Nice mini review. I'm guessing that some people are not goig to be happy reading that, but hey. The funny thing is, restricting the mag to 30 rounds makes it even more of a milsim, P.T.W-esque type rifle, so in a way its a bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janno Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 @ Eisenhorn That's what i figured mate Eventually, there comes a time in airsoft when you either sit back and settle for what you have, or you try to push the envelope and increase the challenge/realism. I believe that operating under pressure brings out the best in me, and the looks on everyone's faces when i beat their times in the assault course whilst doing 2 tactical reloads and a transition midway through are priceless It's not just about winning - but about a glorious victory with style and elegance - something that i believe the WAM4 helps to deliver in this kind of environment. You'd never be able to convince me to take it out into the woods though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GBB Nut Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Someone fit a UBR so they removed theirs. Good to know that it is possible. Hopefully I can figure it out. I don't want to strip the threads on that thing before the metal receivers come out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Question. The outerbarrel, is it a 2 piece design? And if so, are both pieces metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Budi H Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Question. The outerbarrel, is it a 2 piece design? And if so, are both pieces metal? It's a 3 pieces design, but very solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 G&P released a steel replacement for the WA M4 Sear/Disconnector. US$30!?!! Seriously? *sigh* More to the point... still no Bolt Stop on the horizon. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the bolt stop was the very last part G&P decided to release on the gun.

hitmanNo2 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Theres a Wilson Combat style bolt stop on the WA site. I guess it would have the same problems as the normal one though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Hop up broke in the same freaking place everyone else's did... What a bummer. Good thing I have a RATECH replacement on the way... Happened only after about 6 mags too (3 on 134A and 3 on GG...) Funny thing is that I fired about 20 or so shots on semi, flicked it over to full auto, pulled the trigger, and all the gas spewed out! When i looked, there were 2 BB's jammed in the chamber, and the little black piece from the hop-up. I figured I could just clear out the mess, gas up the mag and keep shooting... But i was wrong. the BB's would jam, and/or just roll out of the barrel... Edited July 24, 2008 by junior Quote Link to post Share on other sites

junior Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Is there a way to keep shooting until the replacement hop-up comes in? Without further damaging anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaBaBooey Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Is there a way to keep shooting until the replacement hop-up comes in? Without further damaging anything? I'm not trying to be a jerk-off, but after all the reported problems, why is everyone using green gas when it wasn't designed to take it? Besides the power up-grade, are there other performance advantages of using green gas at the risk of the thing breaking? Is green gas just easier and cheaper to obtain? Why not use 134a with the tight bore? Again, I'm just a bit ignorant on the different gases (their advantages and what not...I do understand the pressure is higher). Apologies if this is a bit off-topic. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) All I had left is GG. I knew about the problems associated with using green, but since I had a hop-up on the way I didn't really care. The bolt stop already had been disconnected, and as far as I know the problems with the hop-up are bound to happen whether it's with GG or 134A. It's just a shotty design.

hkssr20det Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah, it's in the mail Henry. I have never had an issue, but I have my hop up dialed all the way off. It is the double feeds etc that are breaking the hop up. Either way, CNC fix is on the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poison123 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Is there a way to keep shooting until the replacement hop-up comes in? Without further damaging anything? Ya. You'll need to pull apart the hopup and reseat the 0-Ring at the loading ramp of it. Also make sure your hopup isn't adjust too far up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sadigh Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Stupid question, but where is everyone obtaining their RATECH hop units from? Had a quick look on some of the HK retailers but came up empty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Stupid question, but where is everyone obtaining their RATECH hop units from? Had a quick look on some of the HK retailers but came up empty Most of us have bought it direct from RATech: http://www.ratech.com.tw/eng_ratech/pro_of_eng.html It's about 1/3 of the way down. Also, the 2Roy: WA M4 metal HopUp chamber has just been released as well. We have yet to find out how all these aftermarket hop-ups compare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have purchased, man I think 5 or 6 of them directly from RA-Tech. They are good guys, ship quickly and do give a bit of a price break for repeat business. Now Evike does seem to carry them (list price $65 plus shipping) if you want to try.

IBICO Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Are there room outside of the hopup part that tend to break for placing a ring on the outside so it would be stronger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IBICO Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Absolutely - this link might help: http://www.taf-inc.com/discuz/viewthread.p...;extra=page%3D1 heh.. why have no other on this thread talked about the possibility?.. It would make it stronger so it would not break and might let people use stronger gas.. When I have used this hour or so reading the complete thread that solution was the first that popped in my head.. Hope this would make the WA M4 more reliable. Thinking of buying this myself soon.. just e-mailed some shop in japan that got cheap mags, but they only ship in japan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hmm Inokatsu just has three video release about it, They actually talk about it (Chinese only) Looks like the accuracy is crazy accurate without any cool down using the burst they are doing. However I they didnt show any bolt stop right now makes me think that they probably is having durability problem with bolt catch aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
