ruchik Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hmmm.....so the steel bolt catch doesn't work properly because the spring that actuates it is too weak? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josiah Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) My Steel bolt catch is working fine. Mind you I haven't used it 120 times. Edited December 17, 2008 by Josiah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruchik Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wait. Does this also mean that the WE M4's being shipped now have steel bolt catches? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
codegeek2004 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wait. Does this also mean that the WE M4's being shipped now have steel bolt catches? Â from my understanding the gen 2 ones were coming with the steel bolt catch and the steel charging handle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobbcore11 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 i have talked to the owner of airsoftoutletnw, a local store, who will be supplying WE m4s and they were suppose to get their first shipment in early December but now it will be later, because he said that WE was making some slight changes and putting in steel bolt stops into all there guns.

ruchik Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 OK. Does anyone know for sure if the WE M4's being shipped right now from AB and the like (gen 2) have steel bolt stops and steel charging handles, or if they will be released in a gen 3 or new batch starting January?

Chevieblazer Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi Folks, I'd love to hear some more about how winter capable the WE is. I'm talking temperatures around freezing; 0°C, 30-40°F. Does it work reliably after being out in the cold a while? With what kind of gas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raito Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 hey guys, can anyone post a picture of what the steel bolt catch looks like? Â a comparison picture would be nice... Â just to make sure... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josiah Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 hello, wath grease or oil do you recommend, teflon grease ?silicon oil ? twice ? Â Well he gave me some Silicone grease. He also said that you shouldn't fully load the mags with 32 rounds, otherwise you can't load them. You can check if a mag is overloaded by pushing down on the bb's in the feedlip, if they don't move down at all the mags overloaded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) if the mag is overloaded just lock the bolt back befor inserting the mag. use silicon oil, all the other types of lube would be a little to viscous than the ideal.

hazmatt Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hey guys I have to just say that AB has been the best online retailer I have ever dealt with. I just placed an order for a few more spare mags and asked that they include a new bolt catch with it and within 5 min. I received an email confirming that my bolt catch will be included when my order ships out this afternoon. I cant say enough about AB's customer service, he may take a little time to reply to emails some times, but will always make the customer happy with his way of doing business. It's a nice to have a retailer who knows something about customer service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt0311 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airs...il?prodID=25923 Â I'll be ordering one of these tommarow. It also shoots below 400FPS. I hope there isn't that much of a difference between ones that shoot over 400FPS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0nslaught Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) The one at redwolf looks interesting, but whats this all about: Â "The WE M4 has an Empty Firing mode where the bolt will not lock open on an empty magazine" Â i thought the bolt locked open when the magazine was empty? Â Oh and do you guys know where i could find the Trademarked version that shoots over 400 fps? is that AB version? Edited December 18, 2008 by 0nslaught Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roecar Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 There is a switch on the magazine were the bolt will lock open when the man is empty. The other setting is the bolt doesn't lock back allowing the gun to dry firing.

Matt0311 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Does anybody know what they do to lower the FPS? Should i buy the standard one instead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kai_Wolf Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I dont know if this has been answered, but I just noticed the trademarked version (from posts above) is firing at a lower FPS. AB, is this due to a different valve? Or is this a small rubber peice like which WGC was using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruchik Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Does the Redwolf one come with the steel bolt catch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
