Kai_Wolf Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 If you are speaking of modding a real steel upper to fit and function on the WE gbb, you may get a lot of flack for posting that here as it is frowned upon, however if not, I apologize. There was a website selling replacement WE uppers or lowers I beleive. Im sure someone has it saved, I cant for the life of me find the sight again. It was around 35 dollars plus shipping, real cheap. Im very sorry to hear that something like that happened. If you bought it from AB, he may replace it, if not, that website, once found, should supply it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobbcore11 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 yeah but i need the upper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 just contact AB, he'll most likely sell you one weather or not you bought the gun from him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobbcore11 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 yeah i am doing that now, i am so mad though, I wanted to install a new rail so used a rubber hammer and tried to pound the front post off, and the upper reciever threads jut snapped. How the hell did you guys get the front post off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 you talkin about the front sight? there are 2 pins under the barrel holding it on. take them out and it should slip off the front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobbcore11 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I did that, and it still wouldnt come off. Any other ideas? A *fruitcage* hammer couldn't get the damn thing off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
accuracy Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 oh whoops, i guess i just read that 35 dollar thing, and i assumed that's what you were looking for  sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) *fruitcage* *fruitcage* *fruitcage*, so I got my m4 today, loved it, then as I was trying to get the *fruitcage* front post off, the upper reciever threads snapped in half! , any place I can get replacement upper, and how hard is it to mod a real steel upper? I am so ###### right now, please help. You can buy an Upper from AirsoftBuddy, but the only one listed on his site has an ACM 7" DD Omega Rail and front set preinstalled: http://airsoftbuddy.com/index_eproduct_vie...products_id=204 Â I would contact him and find out how much uppers are separately. Â So from the sounds of it, all the durability issues with the WE M4 have been resolved except for the Charging handle. Is that right? Â I did that, and it still wouldnt come off. Any other ideas? A *fruitcage* hammer couldn't get the damn thing off Did you check for set screws? Edited January 29, 2009 by uscmCorps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kai_Wolf Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, for the front sight, it isnt just the two pins for me. I recall there being a small hex screw right under the pin that holds the sling mount under the front sight. Take a look now. Pop out the pin that holds the sling mount on and look under, there should be a small hex screw there still pressed against the OB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobbcore11 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 you were right! I did all that work which ended up breaking my upper . I am so upset you have no idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rottenotto Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) ^ Correct again. Â the allen head grub screw is hidden under the sling loop. Â remove the sling loop and there it is. Will slide right off. Â Kai.....refer to the post I left Boost on the previous page. It contains all info as to where and how to pin the RS charging handle.......it has to be right at the rear edge like you see in my pic. Â I paid 20.00 for mine at a local gun shop. Common part.

Kraut Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well, tax return is on the way, so I'm going to spend most of it on this bad boy. I can't wait! I only wish there was a way to push the FPS a little closer to 400, ability to use AEG TBB and hop up rubbers, and higher-capacity magazines. 30 goes real quick if the gun isn't very accurate. Anyhoo, I can't wait! Thanks for posting a lot of useful information, guys. I've read the entire thread and bookmarked what seemed the most important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt0311 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I got my WE M4 a few weeks ago. It seems really solid and it's really fun to shoot! Nothing as happened so far. I've racked the charging handle many times and so far it seems to be holding just fine. I haven't put many rounds through it yet, but i'll keep you guys posted if anything happens too it. Can't wait to skirmish with this beast of a gun. I'll be getting a G&P rail and a G&P ACOG. Hopefully the ACOG can handle the recoil..... Â Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobbcore11 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 how fast does airsoftbuddy ship to the US? because if he does have an upper I will need it fast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rottenotto Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) how fast does airsoftbuddy ship to the US? because if he does have an upper I will need it fast! Â Â I PM'd you Cobbcore. Â Choose speedpost with William and it will only take 3-4 days. Â Thats assuming he has the upper in stock which he may not. If so, expect a few more days added to that. Â (Many of the items I ordered in my last huge parts order were delayed since William didnt have them in stock.) Â But William is very fast at getting things heading your way.

Chris North Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not sure, but I think Chinese New Year may delay shipping for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
db_pepsi Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not sure, but I think Chinese New Year may delay shipping for a while. Â Â It most likely will. I'd say either next week or the week is when he'll start shipping out again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sabrepilot9000 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Just got my shipment from AB. Took only 3 days to get here. Good stuff. I highly reccommend ordering from him. Â I've been following this thread since it first started but I don't recall anything about the oring size some of you have used as a spacer for the inner barrel. Anyone got any info?

Cobbcore11 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'll look into that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
