Horsem4n Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 probably has something to do with how cold the steel gets during firing you think? but, how well does the brass nozzle work with the CO2 mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah thats the question, does the barrel nozzle work with CO2? I installed the steel CO2 nozzle because I was prepared then to use CO2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) the steel nozzle isnt the only part they upgraded for co2 use. thats why they call it a "kit" and not just a nozzle. because the kit includes the other parts while they used to think just a steel nozzle would do it.

HSOJGNILRAD Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Chef, Im guessing you are using the STEEL non CO2 nozzle? It is the root of all inconsistency problems.....it is a steaming pile of c-h-i-t. Erratic FPS is traced back to the size of the ports. The floating valve seals off too fast or too slow. Too slow isnt a problem,.... too fast and the fps drops to a drizzle. Switch back to the brass nozzle with small gas ports ("windows") and all will be well. I have had to do this in 3 WE M4's...all had your problems. All were fixed immediately with a brass nozzle. I'm using the brass nozzle but the steel floating valve and half the shots go about 25ft then fall. I'm using .30bb's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm using the complete Brass nozzle set-up. So it can't be that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Torque Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, I just recently purchased a WE M4 AFC version from airsoftbuddy.com, it just arrived yesterday. I also bought 5 extra magazines. It made it through U.S. customs in one day no problem, with full Colt trademarks intact. I will be putting it through its paces over the weekend, and let you guys know how it checks out. I just wanted to introduce myself, and say that I bought the WE over a WA primarily based on the posts of information and discourse from this thread (yes I read all 5332 of them!). I am very excited about this platform, I hope my WE lives up to the hype. Edited June 12, 2009 by Torque Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Chef, ....... There is a swear filter for a reason. Regardless if you agree with it or not, do not attempt to by-pass it. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trdsupragt Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I just got my M4 yesterday as well. Having a problem with it though. I'm not sure if it's been discussed or not, but maybe I didn't input the right keywords when searching. Sometimes the gun will light strike. Other times, it will fire semi auto just fine. However, once I put it in full auto, it will just release all the gas from the magazine. I checked the WE M4 guide and it said that I'll need to replace either the floating valve, or the nozzle assembly. Can can someone link me to the right item? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tperry1972 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I received my CO2 conversion kit today. Does anyone know if there's a guide on how to install it? Thanks I also got the C02 conversion kit and need some guidence on install. bb, did you get it installed and if so did you find any instructions? Thanks, TP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eliminator Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Installation is really easy...simply replace the stock barrel housing by the provided one and the stock nozzle by the CO2 one and you're good to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard that the WE guns were getting banned and not getting through customs?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WarChild Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 awesome, thanks. Will you guys be getting the version with Colt's trades? and will you be carrying replacement and upgrade parts? well, i'm pretty torn on that one. the colt trades are certainly nice, but if customs inspects the package and the guns have trades, say bye-bye. i think to have the highest possibility of successful imports, we will elect to not have trades, and maybe see about getting trademarked lowers in at a later time separate from the guns. and yes, we will be carrying spare parts. yesterday, our first two AWSS guns arrived for our in-house testing and to demo for customers.....damn, these things are sooo sweet. Every person that came in the store we let them shoot it, and you can't help but get a huge *suitcase*-eating grin on your face as soon as you fire it once. pull a short full-auto burst and you just start giggling with delight! Tried them with both the 350 FPS bolt and the 500 FPS bolt, and using both CO2 and green gas mags. mine chrono'd at 375 FPS with 0.40g BB's and was easily able to hit the wall with a loud whack at the end of our testing range which is 233 feet away. not bad at all for a 10.5" barrel.

HSOJGNILRAD Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well Guys there is good news for us on the west coast of the states. Evike is in the process of listing all the upgrade and replacement parts on their website......As of now this is the newest part they listed. Give it a couple days and I'm sure we will see all the others parts up on their website.....no more AB for me!!!!! http://www.airsoftpost.com/awss-stainless-...ly-p-31266.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kimkafwan Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WhwOpF3zh8 It's a new valve (#42) from tscustom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Notice how towards the end of the video his output jumps from 0.01J to 0.45J? The adjustable floating valve was able to work itself loose. This could probably get you banned from a site if they chronoed your gun mid game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trdsupragt Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Did anyone ever have trouble getting the takedown pins out of the receiver? Mine are so tightly fitted that it seems like they're built into the receiver and not meant to move.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WETTI Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Notice how towards the end of the video his output jumps from 0.01J to 0.45J? The adjustable floating valve was able to work itself loose. This could probably get you banned from a site if they chronoed your gun mid game. Last I heard they're put in a hex stop screw on that little thing to stop the slippage & last I saw the shot variants are within 0.01-0.05J (+/-6fps). Not bad. The boys told me they'll have a new vid up soon (of the final production model). They said they have yet another 'invention' to compliment this little devil of a device... now I've got my ears peeled Edited June 13, 2009 by WETTI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 FYI. I recieved my TSC Bolt stop plates today and dispite all the comments that would perform even worse than the stock plates, to my surprise they work perfectly. Bolt locks back every time from the first try. Glad I bought'em. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eliminator56 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Does anyone know if that CO2 nozzle from Evike is the high output version or the lower output version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSOJGNILRAD Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Does anyone know if that CO2 nozzle from Evike is the high output version or the lower output version? I'm on my way down there today I will check for you.....to me it looks like the 350 one or the lower fps set up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Animal Mother Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well, I ordered my package from Airsoftbuddy last week and for the past few days the gun has been sitting in customs. I hope it isn't being seized. Has anyone ordered a gun recently and already received it? I'm starting to worry. I've already canceled an order with Horizon Tactical because his shipments were seized. Any info can help guys. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SirSavage Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Looks like WE's BB's are now available at War4 airsoft. In bags of 2000 with weights and prices of .36g for $9.50, .40g for $11.50 and .43g for $13.00. http://www.airsoft-war4.com/ I hope this will be a quality addition to my ammunition stash.
