DLuxxx Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 has anyone else have good experiences with the new Hop up? so far ive read 1 good and 1 bad. it sucks.. having so many problems. Who had the good review? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redline Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 has anyone got the LAT piston head to work better than the stock? i got mine but haven't had a chance to install it yet. if i had to make a list of parts guaranteed to work so far, it would be: 1. Stabilizer Well your a lucky one. Due to faulty quality control on behalf of WE, I can't use the stabilizer...even after I've sanded it down. Don't even get me started on the piston head...other than the weighted buffer recoil paper weight, this was an even bigger let down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redline Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I know everybody has an opinion, but,... I think P-mags are hideous. UGLY and CHEAP looking. Seems like people just want what they cant have. And having one makes you "cool". I wouldnt want a P-mag for free. I hear you on this. Shame...Magpul has so many other cool designs. In my opinion, the P-mag def. isn't one of them. I prefer a stock magazine. Now if it looked like a G36 or SIG mag with dummy rounds, I might be interested.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 someone managed to mod real p-mag and slip WE mag in and if im not mistaken horizontactical.com was selling it last time here's the video... the video quality is bad http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i296/Xou...nt=M4V05234.flv Well that is one bad video. has anyone got the LAT piston head to work better than the stock? i got mine but haven't had a chance to install it yet. if i had to make a list of parts guaranteed to work so far, it would be: 1. Stabilizer Yeah I think this is the only part that has at least the capability to do some improvement on that gun. Well and the steel nozzle. Did somebody else notice that there are no posts from AB and TSOne and a lot less from WETTI since all the negative feedback on those parts came up? And god am I glad I canceled my order for the new barrel/HU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nazio Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Did somebody else notice that there are no posts from AB and TSOne and a lot less from WETTI since all the negative feedback on those parts came up? Maybe they are very busy or to busy? I have exchanged few e-mails with TS One, it seem that panic of customers and paypal action caused them problems with account. They've asked me to contact paypal and write a statement that my purchased goods have arrived. I think these people doing great job, and working hard therefore have not much time for discussions. However after weeks of darkness finally thanks to Wiki guide and TS One it seem like i have managed to sort the problems with my v.1. For a green guy like me that was bit of challange. Sunday i'm going to field my rifle for the very first time. I have question about red dot scope from AR-15 like this one: http://www.parts4ar15.com/ar-15_accessorie...CP-RD40RGW.html Would that fit ?

somegirls Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) They might be doing a great job in a way but their products still suck. Anyways yes of course that scope fits. I fits any 20-22mm rail. But better look for a G&P aimpoint replica, it looks better and costs less. http://www.wgcshop.com/WGC_Shop/images/gp_rg_523.jpg Edited April 16, 2009 by somegirls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) CA and Dboys fit no problem at all ! I did take out the rear clamp to ease fitting as they are tight enough without them I had to modify my CA RAS by widening the clamps slightly as they didn't fit over the gas tube, not difficult though. However the clamps did snap later which I think may have been caused by the mod weakening the structure of the clamps? What about G&P? Has anyone tried their RAS units on the WE? I can't see any reason why they wouldn't fit, can't hurt to ask though Edited April 16, 2009 by chris u'5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 What about G&P? Has anyone tried their RAS units on the WE? roger that, the free floating RAS fits perfectly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 not the FF, the regular RIS (which G&P calls RAS for some reason) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidan mc Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 @aidan mc How big would you say groupings are at 60ft? 60ft is that all, will get a magz worth on paper for you. am able to hit an A4 size bit of wood @ 40m over and over and over again tho, with iron sights. note: we only use semi-auto here in NZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kimkafwan Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Im eyeing the Madbull noveske ris, has anyone installed one on their we. Im particularly interested in the barrel nut that madbull has, does it thread on correctly with our guns? May be tight but fit properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfsbane Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 my we m4 which has the new hop up does not seem to do anything... stripped it apart and put it all back and still.. on or off it does not affect the bb at all, on top of that, after I fire, the on ein the chamber is able to roll straight out if the rifle is point down.. so playing with it and moving around often leads to me effective playing with about 15 rounds per mag.

This is a typical part #117 problem. Disassemble your hop-up, check and clean the part #117, re-assemble the hop-up and check that it hold correctly the BB (no need to put the HU chamber back in the body and outer barrel to check). If it's not holding the BB, then you will have to change the #117. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris North Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just in case you didn't already know, Vaseline can eat away rubber seals eventually. As far as I understand it's only necessary to prevent the seal from sticking when creating it only, but it's still something you might want to be wary of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WETTI Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well that is one bad video. Yeah I think this is the only part that has at least the capability to do some improvement on that gun. Well and the steel nozzle. Did somebody else notice that there are no posts from AB and TSOne and a lot less from WETTI since all the negative feedback on those parts came up? And god am I glad I canceled my order for the new barrel/HU Guy, I'm neck deep in paperwork these days with the new guns coming out... no, I haven't been away. I'm still here to help. The after-market parts, while we welcome them for their intended purposes, are, after all, products of others. My main concern/job is to make our platform as good & as stable as it can be from the factory; that is our goal. I'll continue to listen to you all & relate the useful info. to our R&D personnel for further improvements on our platforms. Regarding the steel charging handle: NO, we will not be making one, not that we CAN'T, but we simply feel not necessary. Our current version is improved, revised & strengthened. Breakage occurance has been close to nil since its introduction. It is as good as it can be for all its intended purposes. WETTI Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eliminator Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wetti As told to me by William there is a strange thing with the part #59...Almost everybody outside HK broke at least one...My second one(from my spare Trigger Assembly)has already lost one leg and its remaining one is damaged...while no one broke theirs in HK...So where's the problem? Beside this, I received my new barell today. It is supposed to be a 6.02...but when I measured, I readed 6.04 on my caliper...a wrong tool setting in my opinion(it can happens, I'm Lathe driver)..William did not measure the ones he has in stock, since the infos came from WE. So again, a wrong tool setting happen really fast!(I killed a cylinder by 90 mm long on 30mm high once cause I used a wrong tool Decallage...). So beside the "too big" inner diameter(0.02mm are almost nothing) the new hop up seems to be very agressive with BBs up to 0.25g. But seems adapted for 0.27 and higher. Then the BBs flys away(with the 6.08-the stock barell-I was shooting @ 280fps)and do not fly to the sky after 30meters, wich is a good thing. Did anybody measure the inner diameter of the new barell that is actually available? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The stock CQB barrel I got with my WE was too thick to fit into the brass housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobbcore11 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 The ones on AB are 6.03, not 6.02- those have not been released yet from the best of my knowledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
