Tw1tch Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Neither of mine are new and have their issues but I don't see it as a problem. In fact I look forward to tinkering with them to get them running sweet even if I am new to GBB. Seems far simpler than AEGs at any rate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 What kind of issues are you having? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Well the main one was semi on the 416 would often shoot a couple of rounds per trigger pull, but since pulled that box out and replaced with a spare my flatmate had (so now have that dodgy spare and a brand new one from my OB kit). I've not actually had internals for it as OB until today though so will see what teething problems (if any) surface. Â SPR seems a little sluggish to cycle but I reckon I've not cleaned it out and lubed it sufficiently to make it smooth. I think the nozzle rails need a little bit of shaving too to help it return properly. Then it took half of one of my feed lips off but that might've been a problem with the mag. Â Need an actual range day though to try and test range/set the hop. Gives me something to do thougg on days off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Burst sounds like the disconnector maybe the firing pin. Sluggishness maybe dirty, could be a bad oring on the nozzle. I've had a problem with the return spring pin not seat all the way and carved a groove in the upper. Â Try a different charging handle, I've heard that one can cause a headache. Â The top roller on the gas key maybe sticking. See if you can use a marker and find odd wear patterns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I see RA Tech has made a new 2015 version steel bolt for the WE M4 series. More realistic gas key component (double hex socket screws), a steel bolt catch included and lower price it seems.

Alias1983 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 It will take Evike years to start stocking that, also many have been on there case for a proper bolt for years now. Â I still question ra techs steel, especially for this. Â http://www.evike.com/products/56131/ Â I've never heard of the receivers breaking, just the steel dust covers making a grove.

NonEx Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I have stock internals in my WE AR. It is what it is mixing steel, alu and pot metal. I try to avoid it :|Â 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I ran all oem as well, only issue really was temp and gg. Then the ra tech npas failed  I have been asking fg to ship to the states but they wouldn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 My WE M4 in its current configuration  Still love it!      I had a lot of WE GBBRs over the years, but the M4 is the one I have kept. WE G39C, mweh, don't like the platform. PDW, cool, but felt kinda under developed and very similar to WE M4. WE ACR, felt like a heavier, bulkier and less adaptable version of the M4. WE SCAR, have not owned but have handled, same as MSK pretty much, lighter than ACR though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I was one of the first to get the WE CB M4 and went through buckets of money to tune it up I was ready to abandon the platform altogether as it was plagued with so much problems.  However with the OB platform, comparing against WA type systems (Ino, Viper, WA, AGM G&P), KWA and then the VFC (which, don't get me wrong its a great gun just a lack of kick), the WE is a fantastic platform for the price and the little amount spent on it to function. KWA is great also but for the price I can get 2 WEs.  SCAR, G36 and M4 are good, problem is that it does require some knowhow to tune them (e.g. barrel bushing issues on the G36 and M4s, hop issues generic on all WE OBs, G36 has no free float which makes the gun change zero as it fires. M4s have inherent issues with buffer detent design causing more friction on the bolt carrier, M4s also have the unnecessary bearing that results in bolt tilt etc..etc..) PDW I would probably not get one though.  I just bought a 2nd hand M16VN, and after fixing all the problems and manufacturing faults that it has (issues highlighted above, plus 20 round mag issues with feed lips not aligned in magazine pushing the blowback unit upwards increasing wear on the bolt retainer), its functioning great, cycles smooth as silk on the 20 round mags. Edited December 18, 2015 by 3vi1-D4n Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I apologise as this question has probably been asked numerous times in this thread but it's massive...  Finally got the angrygun CNC hop chamber on order, what rubber should I use with it? Maple leaf 70° or 75°? Also do the maple leaf rubbers come with nubs as I'be heard various things? It's going to be a sub 350fps rifle with 10 inch barrel probably paired with an Angrygun 6.03 barrel unless something else is recommended.  Can't wait to try it out next month.

NonEx Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Â Does not come with nubs AFAIK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) They do not. Some used to but I'm not sure where you can get them. Â For the fps range I'd go 70*, I had one in my old m4 and with .28g I could headshot at 200' with just under 350 fps. Â Best effective range was about 250' and after that was a shoot. I did not get much l/r deviations and I ran a m4a1 rat tbb. Edited January 16, 2016 by Alias1983 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Well I will have to try and rescue the nub fron my current hop unit (screw holding the two halves together stripped >.>) Edited January 16, 2016 by Tw1tch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sub 350 FPS would be the yellow 60 one. I actually have one of each inbound, Decipticon and Autobot yellow 60 rubbers for my WE A1A Glock. Gonna see if I can notice any difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I was not even aware of autobot and decepticon rubbers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 lousy choice in names as in all the Films be it the bay ones or the good one, neither the Autobots or Decepticons could hit the broadside of Unicron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Siavash Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Has anyone experienced the auto sear bending to a point that when you charge your WE M4 the bolt locks halfway..?? I have had this issue lately, resulting in opening the gun taking it all apart to bend the auto sear back. But after a few rounds the unit bends out of place again resulting in failure!

Alias1983 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Â Usually stuck bolts are because the buffer tube is not in the right spot. Â I bent my sear from bolt over travel (don't take the spacer out of your buffer tube). Â Is the buffer lock cap screwed in far enough? I had my bolt get stuck on that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alias1983 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) http://www.evike.com/products/31726/  Middle left, silver screw, black thing then large gray screw.  That black thing goes over the buffer detent and screws into the lower receive.  You use a screwdriver, push the detent down and unscrew ccw.  http://www.milspecsolutions.co.uk/we-m4-buffer-retainer-post-assembly.html  I have never heard of this coming loose but when I switched to an afc lower I could not screw it in all the way and it caused the bolt to get hung up on it.  A real buffer tube actually holds the detent in the lower. Most just drill the threads out and run a real detent and buffer tube.  If you zoom in on my pic above you can see the cap is not all the way in because the AFC lower is different from standard we lowers in the one instance.
