Payne06 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Has anyone tried the RA-Tech N.P.A.S. Complete Bolt in this gun yet? Also, does anyone know of a good place to buy one? Or any of the RA-Tech upgrades for that matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T0p Sp!N Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Fully cocked the bolt carrier really only goes 6 to 8mm further than rear of the bolt catch (on mine I make it 7.5mm) so it wouldnt take a great deal of short stroking for it to fail to go back far enough - e.g. if mine blew back just 8mm less than full stroke it would never let the catch trip That might not neccessarily show up in chrono results either , but if there was a discrepancy that could explain it. Yeah. I think I'll have to upgrade the bolt catch eventually if it really bothers me. Still have to test a fully loaded mag and see if if the bolt catches with one or no BBs. In the mean time, I'll have to get around to sanding the bolt catch area smooth and relube it with appropriate grease perhaps. -T.S. Also, what gen. GHK mags do you have snorkelman? Or if you're not too sure, what color valve locker and gas reservoir end caps do you have (if thats definitive of batch generations anyway)?

Stealthbomber Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I've got one of the cheap 12 dollar cnc'd copies of the RA-tech unit on order but it hasnt arrived yet, Stealth might be able to tell you if the areas above are the same ones that would need worked over to get the AGM actuating arm to work with it - if it is then we can safely assume that both the RA-T and the 12 dollar copies are same spec. Noooo.... Quite the opposite. I can see I'm gonna have to take some pictures of this. On mine the pivot point for the hop-arm is a tiny bit too high up. The result of this is that the spring can never push the arm far enough down because the opposite end of the arm is restricted by the adjuster. If you were going to modify anything it'd be to file something off the top of the adjuster end of the arm. That'd allow the other end to pivot further down and actually apply a bit of hop to the BBs. As it is I suspect the best solution would be to heat up the arm and then bend it slightly in the middle but that's a bit extreme IMO. I've put the EBB hop-up housing in my wardrobe along with my Betamax video recorder, My BSB receiver and my minidisk player. When the OEM hop-up snuffs it I'll buy one that allows me to use AEG barrels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falconfour4 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 The stock tube nut on mine is coming loose. Any tricks on how to tighten it up without a proper wrench? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 The stock tube nut on mine is coming loose. Any tricks on how to tighten it up without a proper wrench? well if you've ever owned a bicycle see if you've got an old C spanner or two knocking around. If you find one but it isnt a great fit just pad the area around the ring to protect it if the c-spanner slips. one in photo below is pinched from my lathe tools, but you should get similar cheaper versions of C spanners for use with stock tube nuts etc on pedal bikes etc?

mnmc10 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 or you can tighten or loosen it using the collar, there are 2 small nubs on it similar to aegs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Also, what gen. GHK mags do you have snorkelman? Or if you're not too sure, what color valve locker and gas reservoir end caps do you have (if thats definitive of batch generations anyway)? forgot to say valve locker is black and the end caps on the gas tubes are a dark grey colour (not sure if theres much difference I think the BB feed was opened up a little on ones made after initial batch and that was about it?)

jonny2400 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 EAC 40rd GAS Magazine for WA M4 Series GBB $29.99 Looking at a upscaled photo of these and comparing them with the AGM MkII that I have here, they are a 100% match, down to the very last pin. For the Record the AGM MkII mags are rubbish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the Record the AGM MkII mags are rubbish How rare... I have three of them, and all of mine are fine. Lasted an entire day of skirmishing and are still holding gas fine... two days later. That's the same gas that was in them at the skirmish, mind If I could afford to do so, I'd buy a few more, though those EAC mags are looking rather interesting... Worth a poke, at least, eh? Especially seeing as the reduced weight will cut teh shipping costs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) guys how do you take apart the valve ? ( the one in the mag mine is leaking and i cant seam to take it apart ?

mutikasha Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 It is noted in their description on ehobby that they could be tricky put in and remove. If they stated that then they are really tricky to put in and take out of the receiver . 20 $ less than the GHK mag...I think it is not worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hey, if they ACTUALLY weigh that much, I'll probably get some. The gen 2 AGM mags are fine for me, but weigh the same as the original one. So, a lot. Just four of them weighs me down one hell of a lot, and I'd like to run with six mags or so, if possible.

Speed= Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Are the 3 pack AGM mags from EBB gen2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I got mine from EHobby, but they're probably the same ones. Though they weigh the same as the original mag, so it's possible that they're different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st_shooter Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Has anyone compiled a list or have a good idea of what internal updade parts/accessories will fit the AGM? Any ideas on the WA ambit selector, will this fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ive guted everything out of the lower with no problems (either individually or in combination) with exception of selector and hammer lock tried Inokatsu lock and selector and couldnt get consistent full auto hammer lock - wether using both the ino parts together or just one of them along with the corresponding AGM part. Only using the original two AGM parts together did it function as it should Have got one of the cheap Vtech ambi selectors and a G&P hammer lock on order (gives me three hammer locks to play with) but they havent arrived yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 The ambi selectors need a slight re working with a dremel or similar, they don't go in quite enough for the indentations to line up with the locking pin so ya have to widen them a little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falconfour4 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 The eBaybanned ambi selector fits perfectly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 That's the one i have, and it needed slight modding. It goes in and works fine, but it doesn't lock into each position properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st_shooter Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Oh ok thanks for thats, i have gone for the EBB one. Is it worth getting the hop chamber as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Oh ok thanks for thats, i have gone for the EBB one. Is it worth getting the hop chamber as well? I've gone into great detail about the replacement hop-up EBB are selling on at least 3 occasions in this very thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pacino Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just took delivery today of the AGM M4 Stubby (063). I ordered it from RSOV and also ordered 2 extra mags (the lightweight versions at $29.99 each). I asked when I ordered if they could check the mags for leaks. They must have done this because all mags were perfect. I have run them all 3 times and so far no probs. The Stubby is great too. The rail depth don't match up, but a small price to pay. Just thought you might wanna know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lance201 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) is this another new type of magazines? http://www.ebairsoft.com/metal-50rds-magazine-p-2377.html They look like the Gen. 2 Mags from AGM I received today from RSOV. very cheap... 31 Dollar shipped... and 69 for three.
