SnakeHT Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hi guys, I thought i'd post this up for anyone else in my position. I ordered through Airsoft Buddy who sent it out very quickly but it's been stuck in customs for a week with no other reason than 'pending charge' If you haven't had a letter from customs then follow these instructions Call parcel force on 08708 50 11 50 so they can give you your UK tracking number. (Mine started EEEE and ended in HK. Customs will only accept the Parcel Farce one starting EC and ending GB). Call UK customs on 02476 212860. Give them the EC number and they will tell you what the problem is. It will probably be that UKARA details have not been sent with the parcel. All they want from me is a copy of my UKARA form and proof of purchase to sting me with tax. Hope this helps someone. I'm off to find a fax machine! Snake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 my M4 just arrived the forward assist knob and the spring were already "not in the right place" when I opened the box.. so I'll try to glue the knob back in place.. but I#m not sure if glue will hold the knob with such a big spring behind.. -> but wow, what a sound.. -> the mag leaked just a few seconds before it stoped..

Carsten Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 "small" update.. I've glued the forward assist know with "power glue" .. hope it will stay in place.. The G&P free floating RAS fits perfectly as you can see here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cocofr69 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Carsten, beautiful ! And good to know that G&P RAS fit perfectly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davedawg123 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Anyone receive the WGC version yet? Is their power rating accurate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
azp Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 just wondering, has anyone aside from lupus actually ran one of these in a game yet? it'd be nice to get some actual opinions from other people on whether this gun is skirmish-worthy or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupus78 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) I'm just thinking what kind of stuff I'm about to buy for this baby. I'll at least get a madbull RAS fix for the rails. A bit more style than my current detached acog-baseplate option. The rail fits fine even without it, but I want it to be solid as a rock, so I can use a laser unit. Does anyone know how well would the Magpul CTR stock sold in Redwolf fit? If it's civ-spec, then how well would the stock fit on milspec? It's a bit loose I suppose, but how much would it differ from the original stock and how about the friction lock? Will it hold it solid? Edited November 21, 2008 by Lupus78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skippy Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Mine is due today from WGC. This is the note I received from them on the power issue: "Hello ! To improve the power of WE-GBR-M4A1-A WE M4A1 Gas Blowback Rifle , you can remove the white rubber in the nozzle . If you have any product inquiry , please feel free to contact our support team , support@rt.wgcshop.com , we will answer your question asap . Thank you for your order ." I'll give an update after I have received and tested it. Cheers TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now that's interesting! Only if we could get that kind of parts for different settings... I would order them immediately. Please take some pictures, maybe we can manufacture those by ourselves. Also would be interesting to hear if your bolt stop is steel. Edited November 21, 2008 by Lupus78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please take some pictures, maybe we can manufacture those by ourselves. This sounds very much like how TW limits its m700 gas rifles. I seem to remember the PAX hop kit for the m700 having a screw in block in the nozzle so that you can easily go from restricted to non-restricted by unscrewing it. Maybe the next version of WEm4 could have something like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skippy Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 NP I'll take some pics when it arrives I have the feeling mine will not have a steel bolt stop, as the issue was identified around the same day I ordered my m4. I have however requested one from WGC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stickyittoyou Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) I take it hardly anyone has seen this video yet. Isn't RA-TECH the Bolt? Edited November 21, 2008 by stickyittoyou Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cocofr69 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hello guys i have received a email from Airsoft Buddy today, WE sent him a new upper receiver for me and now it's on the road to my home AB is definitely a wonderfull seller, i can't be more happy to have bought my M4 from him ! his customer service is perfect ! @ Lupus78: the diameter of a mil-spec is 29mm, a civ-spec is 29.7mm, it's not a big difference, it will be a bit loose but you can solve it easily with some adhesive tape if you can't find a mil-spec stock.

xx-treme Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Got my MagPul CTR milspec some days ago and it fits like a charm, no wobble at all with the friction lock enabled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slu Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nice setup with the CTR. Thanks for the link to the RA-Tech video. Maybe they'll pick this up and make some reinforced parts? They make excellent parts for the WA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt.Fenix Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Just got mine this morning. I am actually really impressed by the quality of this rifle. I've owned 2 Sun Projects in the past and the overall feel of the WE is so much better in comparison, while only being about 1/2 ~ 2/3 of the stock price of an SP. Sadly, I've run out of gas after 2 seconds of filling the magazine, so I haven't been able to shoot it much, but from the few rounds I have been able to fire, the blowback was on par with the Sun Project A2 that I used to have when set to 110 PSI. On the SP though, you could crank it up to 150 PSI to increase blowback with the risk of damaging your gun, but the WE is simply amazing considering the gas source is the magazine as opposed to the external CO2 of the SP. Overall it is an excellent GBB. I would highly recommend it to anyone who... does it really matter? I would highly recommend it to anyone Also, buy it from Airsoft Buddy, I'm sure I was somewhat lucky with the timing, but he shipped mine out within 8 hours of receiving the Paypal payment! Now that's service. Edited November 22, 2008 by Lt.Fenix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Nice. Did you examine the bolt stop to determine if it has been upgraded to steel? Also, I think this may have been answered but is the flash hider 14mm+ meaning I can pop on any G&P compatible flash hider? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IBICO Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have been told from Ra-tech that they would produce steel bolt catch for the WE.. So it might be more parts coming from them also for the WE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt.Fenix Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) I can't really tell whether or not the bolt catch is made of steel, but Airsoft Buddy said mine wasn't. He said WE was still producing the steel ones to be put into newer guns. However, he did say that when we order extra magazines from him that he would include the WE produced steel bolt catch for free for those who have bought the pre-steel-bolt-catch version. Oh and I've measured the flashhider threaded portion of the barrel and my caliper said 14mm. Additionally the flashhider screws in clockwise, so yes it is 14mm+.

Thats good news glad I ordered from AB now , just gotta wait for my next paycheck to get some mags If I ever get the gun from customs that is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
