Chris North Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Has anyone else requested parts from WE through Airsoft Buddy? If so, how long was the turnaround time? I think i asked for them around March 25th or so, but still haven't heard anything yet. I'm going to wait another week before sending him another email, but I can't help but be slightly impatient, since my M4 needs those parts to function... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfsbane Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I had that weird discolouration on my body as well... I am guessing the surface was somewhat oiled when the black paint was applied...I dunno and I am no expert ... It was nothing at first but after a while it bugged me, so I sprayed me gun up whaddaya think? ...also.. obviously my charging handle is broken now, I have super glued it back together and it seems to be holding up but It is a temporary fix, anyone know anywhere in the UK where I can get a new charging handle, reinforced if possible or even RS?

trinco Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 the new two tone royal blue color M4 looks odd & funny http://picasaweb.google.com/kcyauwil/WEGas...M42ToneVersion# Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carsten Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 blue guns for LE/military? Where did you found those pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midma Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Hello, I'm new here, but often on France Airsoft. My WE arrived Friday, 2 days trying to put on right. I fail. The bbs fall at 15 meters or 60 meters, as they want. The hop-up's right. Furthermore, it seems to have been used before, many time: And I don't know where it has been stored, but a sort of oxidation begin to appear on the lower an upper receiver. I'm very disappointed. When I took these photos, it was just out of the box, only a S.I.R was on. Never put a magazine in. Midma Edited April 13, 2009 by Midma Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trinco Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 blue guns for LE/military? Where did you found those pics? im not sure whether its for LE/military or not... btw thats william's photo album not mine unknown dude holding the limited edition WEM4GBB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Where did you buy it from Midma? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midma Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yep, from AB. Midma Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 If I were you I would send him the pictures. I know it would be a hassle sending the whole rifle back from France to HK but he should really hook you up with a new magazine and forward assist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 mail him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midma Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Have you seen the lower too? Oxidation and furthermore, I can only shoot my foot with. And the nozzle "300" fps give around 500 fps. Midma Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nazio Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 @ Wolf: here you'll find a RS Charging Handle: Would this fit without modifications ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rawbell Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi. I'm from the same french forum than Midma and I was thinking about ordering a WE in AB, but it doesn't seem very encouraging ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midma Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 It seems to be a lemon which has been send back to AB who send me after. Midma Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trinco Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Midma, did the customs open the box? if yes then probably they tested it out first just to make sure its not a deadly weapon since GBB rifle is new in the market... i used to order a lot of shirts from china before and the parcel was inbound into custom inspection so they cut the parcel using sharp blade, out of 5 shirts 2 were deeply cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midma Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 The customs didn't open the box Midma Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WETTI Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Seems that the guys at the factory are quite unconcentrated these last weeks....It seems that Midma's gun has not been well painted and oxydation treated, as well as its stocking condition. When seiing many guns on that forum having paint problems make me think about storage problems back at the factory. But for the magazine condition, it's unbelievable and ununderstandable to see how this one is used! This will give more work to William and add some delays to many future orders since I assume He'll have to check every single gun, magazine and spare part he actually have in stock, as well as all the other he'll get in stock... This has NOTHING to do with anything in the factory. All guns are QC'd & shipped in brand new condition from our factory. For whom this may concern: WETTI is currently working on setting up a local sole distributorship/dealer network/parts/service center for the region of France/Belgium. Just give us a little time...

Marky [UE] Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Would this fit without modifications ? (reference to RS charging handle) This has been discussed many times over the past few months and most people would NOT recommend using a RS charging handle out of the box. It does work but not correctly and can affect the SOPs. The best current options are the recently released steel or 7075 charging handles available from AB or the pre-modified (as per wiki article) and upgraded (latch replaced with larger tactical version) RS charging handles from Horizon Tactical. I know this is now one huge discussion but I really suggest you at least search old posts or read the wiki. The wiki contains some invaluable points and a large amount of experience. I am not sure any UK suppliers currently have upgraded charging handle options in stock. You could try Tactical Quartermaster or Land Warrior Airsoft though. Good luck.

chris u'5 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Agreed. The Wiki guide contains pretty much everything you need to know when you are getting started. Consider it your Bible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 for your information, I've installed the tac-latch from EB.. it needed some minimal modification to fit due to a slightly different shape,.. very easy indeed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
