The Chef Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Pretty sweet there CoCo. Agreed on the flexible nub. Easy to sort though. Just alter the schematic to have a concave semi circular aperture in the actuator arm. Either that, or a solid H nub, like the VSR. My one concern, where is the adjustment screw? I don't think there is enough meat above the arm itself to contain an adjustment screw, or is the same bevelled nut doing the job as it does in the original? I'm not sure that the bevelled nut will operate the arm what with it being such an acute angle. But I like the idea.... very sound. My own personal view would be to have a very similar system of AEG barrel installation. But instead of having an internally adjustable unit, the adjuster is just a long grub screw that is accessible from the top rail of the receiver. Much like the Tanaka or Ares/Star systems.

somegirls Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 hey guys, can anybody tell me if the King Arms RAS fit on the WE without major mods? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theprodigy Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 To WE: In the M16 is the inner barrel length 500mm or m4 length? If it is 500, will there be a chrome one available? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cocofr69 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 The barrel is held by the usual clip used with AEG: About the nub, i tried to make the same that on the VSR, because The chief said it was the better for accuracy , i tried to find pictures of VSR's hopup and i found this: so i did this: @ The chief: do you think that it's the kind of solid H nub used in the VSR or must i modify it to use a AEG nub ? For the adjustement, it's the same nut as the original HU wich is used to push the arm, this allows to make a drop in hop-up without modifying the bolt or the receiver. To push the arm, there is a new part #115 after the bevelled nut, with a curved shape: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Coco i see what you did there and i like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) CoCo, yeah, thats excellent. It's not instantly obvious from the profile view, but the 3D view shows it perfectly. That's probably a better solution than using the flexible AEG nub. That is some excellent work. Thinking about the barrel location (I always look for the easy solution), rather than having to machine the barrel shroud to accept the AEG clip, could you not just drill a section out of the barrel so it can take the existing small roll pin? Or something like 3 grub screws placed around the barrel to locate it? Just a thought. But that is indeed some truly fantastic CAD work. Are you using SolidWorks?

Thanks In fact, the barrel is a regular AEG inner barrel, it's a drop in for the bucking and the barrel, no modification needed. You're right, i'm using Solidworks.

somegirls Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Coco, you and Otto should take some debs and take over WE. You guys are awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Coco, you and Otto should take some debs and take over WE. You guys are awesome. I second that. All WE needs to do is copy those schematics. about the solid vs soft hopup, I doubt the solid nub has direct contact with the BB. At the upper end of the pic with the VSR hopup, you can see the hop up rubber. So the H-shape nub should press against the AEG-type hopup rubber, much like a Madbull Shark-type hopup packing. not only would it solve the hop up issues, but also the need for specialized inner barrels, since all aftermarked AEG barrel would work...

Involved6 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 CoCo, is that CAD or 3d Studio Max? No matter which, you have great talent. WE should be paying you for royalties, if they adopt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 The drawings are nice but accounts for nothing until a prototype is produced and tested. The way I look at it, the parts would require relatively tight tolerances for it to work, assuming it works. That's why manufacturers design parts to work together while maintaining cost efficient manufacturing process. Don't get me wrong coco I like the lineart and I admire that DIY spirit. I just don't think it's fair to WE when someone says they need replacing and whatever after merely seeing some CAD drawings. Many design proposals mentioned by us may very well have been tried and chucked aside by airsoft makers. I only wish what were those discarded blueprints which in so knowing, would allow us to zero in the "perfect" hop design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

somegirls Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Anyone seen this yet: http://airsoftglobal.com/product_info.php?...roducts_id=9476 Right of the top of my head I wouldn't know what to do with it, or what it is. (Don't tell me it's a bearing ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 ahahah,.. a "ball bearing spring buffer" O_o Quote Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) here's the explosion drawing for you guys again: http://www.begadishop.de/catalog/images/202824-manual-3.jpg #91 This thing is epic. It has a bearing that can turn left and right, correct? But that part is sitting in the end of the buffer tupe where it isn't mobing at all, correct? I mean if this was springloaded in the right direction it might smooth out the blowback (people want the oposite though) similar to the system used in the H&K pistols. I will properly buy it because that is just so amazingly hilarious. Edited May 5, 2009 by somegirls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I think it acts like the bearing spring guide in an AEG or the VSR. The buffer sits where it is, but allows the spring to rotate on the bearing. I think its a bit of overkill in this respect, but I can see why its used in an AEG. The constant compression/decompression of the spring might cause some rotational movement in the spring, which can now move freely rather than stressing the spring.

renegadecow Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 To all who requested a sample redesigned V1 hop up rubber, I've sent them out today so expect them to arrive around a week. If all goes well with your units, it would seem to be a very economical solution for fixing V1 barrels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marky [UE] Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Just received my chrome barrel and spare hop rubber. As Otto mentioned the situation with the new hop rubber is an absolute joke, I for one demand a couple of free replacements. One for the already installed and out of shape hop rubber and another for the so called spare which is a totally different size and also out of shape. I am starting to lose patience here!!! I would suggest somebody take the actual spec sheet and drawing down to the factory producing these hop up rubbers to find out what the hell is going on.

chris u'5 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Where did you buy your KAC flashider mate? I'm tring to find a RS KAC QD flashider at the moment. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Redwolf! It's a G&P. I searched the whole web but I love it. You can unscrew the threaded thin end of the flashhider and the front portion is filled with some kind of plastic like a surpressor. It actually is some kind of compensator I think. anyways, it is pretty. this is the other one I ordered or the longer barreled version: gotta luv vltor markings...
