accuracy Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) ^ ah well i guess i see now. I'm actually trying to disassemble my valve right now using the following guide so i can get more power http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...t&p=2011115 but i can't seem to unscrew the nozzle from the rod. It's stuck damned tight. any advice? they must have used like super red loctite or something Edited April 3, 2009 by accuracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nazio Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) No problems with shipping and purchases from TS One here. I've made two purchases. First came within week or so. Second is on its way, TS One sent me an e-mail via paypal with tracking number, and then picture of receipt from post office. Just like accuracy said 35$ for mag with shipping included sounds like good deal to me, here they cost circa 51$. Edited April 3, 2009 by Nazio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupus78 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm personally also interested to know if it would be possible to file off some of the rod (that pushes the inner valve part forward) in 300fps version to gain more power. I have around 400-415fps as my target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Horizon techtical is also requesting a sellers forum here at arnies. I was contact with them about some stuff but decided not to order, because AB added new charging handles and I had an order pending with AB. But the contact with HT (sounds cooler) was pretty good. Plus they seem to be the only seller with a working shipping system. Horizon will be stocking the new charging handles also (plus their own modified RS handle) They aren't exclusive to AB.

However, they're in California, and sales tax was bumped up yesterday to 9.25%, which can be a turn-off to those of us located in Cali. (Yet another reason for me to GTFO of here, heh.) Thank you for mentioning that. I'd like to say that HT doesn't tax their customers, atleast not yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

newcomer Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Just a flash imagination. Would it be possible to fashion a nozzle such that it holds the bb in a flexible claw of sorts and chamber it into the breech, followed by firing of the bb? Purpose of said design would allow for: 1)Extraction of unspent round(+ factor for MIL/LE whereby realistic practice of gun safety is important) 2)Consistent axial and linear chambering of bb, thus preventing hop inconsistency 3)Prevent bb to slip pass the hop 4)Anything to add?

Carsten Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 .. mh.. nice idea, especially because of this point -> 1) Extraction of unspent round Its annoying that there is always 1 BB in the chamber with no way to get it out but shoot. Next time the charging handle is racked there'll be a double feed but practically not doable I think.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 From a design point of view, it's highly plausible. I've always lamented on the fact that no defence company has ever seriously gotten into the business of airsoft guns design. It would be hugely advantageous if they do given the vast knowledge, experience and resources they have in everything weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redline Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 WETTI, do you think the C02 mags will be released before May? Or is that being over optimistic? Plus, will there be further requirements (interior mods) in order to use the Co2 mags? This way I can just get ready to order multiple items...thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Horizon is now stocking Shooter's Choice Grease as recommended in the Wiki guide. It can be pretty hard to find in EU so that's good news for us considering they offer cheap shipping to Europe. http://www.horizontactical.com/ht/index.ph...a210788a85acca2 Edited April 3, 2009 by chris u'5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Standard durability upgrades are recommended in your case. Stainless steel nozzle, temp. resistant O-rings, and good maintaining will do the trick. As for the release date, I'll leave that till it actually happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Being able to remove chambered bbs would be a bonus like how most handgun GBBs allow you to, but the WE has an almost completely sealed chamber so even if you cold get it out through the back, you'd need to have your magazine removed first and plop down through the magwell instead of the ejection port. Technically you could do this by modifying part #117 to be more slack but this would also mean a loose seal against the nozzle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) to extract the bb from the chamber, you will need to make a good seal of the chamber and have it suck the bb out like if you were to rack a gbb slide fast. but from what i see, the nozzle seal on the WE isnt good enough for that, simply adding an Oring to the design of the nozzle(around the outside of the end) end could do it. it would also make the gun more gas efficient. to test it, can someone wrap teflon tape around the end of their nozzle and fire a few shots, remove the mag and see if the extra seal removes the bb upon a fast rack of the charging handle?

newcomer Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 If extraction is to be performed by suction, then first the bb will need to be sitting in a completely sealed chamber. A rubber diaphragm of sort attached to the nozzle would better aid the suction effect. But then you'll still have the "dead space" volume inside the nozzle to eliminate.

As for the release date, I'll leave that till it actually happens Yeah, I'm kind of confused..I just purchased the steel nozzle, but WETTI is telling us to not use the steel nozzle once the C02 comes out..so I think, we're kind of in the dark.

Horsem4n Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) no, he said (probably due to new research) not to use any current version of the gun with CO2 mags because they will not last. im guessing its because one of their test guns broke because of the CO2 mags and they needed to overhaul the gun to accept CO2 pressure correctly. and thus, the lengthy time its taking to bring out the version 3. and to continue, i forgot that the WE did not have a rubber chamber. without a normal type of chamber, i don't think extraction can happen with the WE.

Lupus78 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hmmm. Bumped into a problem with my gun. When I fire full-auto the gun just keeps on firing even if I release the trigger. Semi-auto works fine. Wouldn't want to replace the whole trigger mechanism, but that could solve the problem. I've got the "Gen1" gun. Any idea what could be causing this?

1st Commando Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 check the two small screws that hold part~59 iirc down ! Best described as the plate in front of the hammer that shrouds the firing pin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupus78 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) check the two small screws that hold part~59 iirc down ! They're tight. I have no friggin' idea what's wrong. Edited April 4, 2009 by Lupus78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupus78 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) It could be that part that is sticking out behind the hammer. I it might have been bent backwards when I have accidentally tried to slam the upper receiver in while the mechanism has been set to auto-mode. I tried to bend the part forward a little bit with pliers and it seemed to help a bit. It works a bit better, so that it won't stick to full-auto 100% of the time. But it still does that often... Seems that in the current trigger mechanism version that is been sold at Airsoft Buddy this part has been changed considerably. I'm thinking of getting this new version and converting this old version to semi-only, so that I could switch to sniper if I want to.

Lupus78 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Yay! I got it working! I just bent the part even more and now it works perfect! Oh man I'm reliefed... Oh, and here's my gun with it's current external upgrades. The stock is the chinese clone of the VLTOR modstock that is been sold at RSOV. I'm very satisfied to it's build quality. And almost no wobble at all, unlike the original M4 stock that came with the gun. I just love it's feel with it's wide cheek rest and thick rubber end plate.
