rottenotto Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 How much fun? : ) Got mine today and fired 4 shots before following Marky [uE]'s guide from page 126 on how to strip it down and secure part #36. I just wish I could play with it again but will be good and wait until the loctite drys - how long by the way? P.S. Oh and 2 mags neither had a single leak. I did hear that LWA has been removing valves and pfte taping them so that may explain the lack of any leak. Let the Locktite set overnight if you can. Thats all you need. The mag leaking issue was mainly an issue with the first batch. WE acknowledged defective/sub-par o-rings. All the new mags that William (airsoft buddy) has work fine on their first fill - no leaks at all. And don't develop leaks after hundreds of refills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WETTI Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 My thoughts exactly. There is something about doing everything right! and then the noise and the blowback arrives! I really want this to be a realistic in game weapon and I can't wait for the CO2 mags The wait wouldn't be too long..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WETTI Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I like someone else on here am having a hard time removing the valve assembly etc . It seems as if it has been locktited , any ideas on loosening it up ? use a lighter to heat up the threading area a bit & then loosen it immediately; it should work. But make sure you loctite it back when the adjustment is done, the shear force of the gun's operation alone can loose it (without loctite) & that is definitely NOT a good thing to happen.

wraithxt1 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Heres a new video of the WE m4 in action! Edited February 18, 2009 by wraithxt1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redline Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey guys, got my WE M4. I know its been mentioned, but couldn't find it with over 130 pages...can someone explain how to adjust the hop-up? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 look around page 40. can you move the adjuster at all? its the knurled barrel over the chamber. you may have to take it apart to get it to start moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Anyone bought/installed the ally bolt carrier yet? I'm curious to know exactly how performance is affected. Also, anyone installed (or tried to install) a real solid stock on their M4? Just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yeah someone in this thread said the stock tube is a milspec stock tube so it fits the aftermarket stocks, like the magpul ACR stocks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 no, he means a full solid M16 stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, anyone installed (or tried to install) a real solid stock on their M4? Just curious. Hi Chris I have both on order. Im getting the aluminum bolt carrier to try. And I bought a Bushmaster full stock that is being shipped from AZ, so Im still waiting. It is a shorty, full stock. Trying another new look. As for the stock being milspec, it isnt quite milspec (at least mine isnt). It is actually thinner according to the calipers. In case anybody wasnt sure, milspec buffer tubes are thinner not fatter than commercial buffer (or stock) tubes. If you go with an aftermarket stock, be sure to order only a milspec stock - otherwise it will wobble nearly as bad as the stock one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Cool. I'd ask to keep us informed, but I guess it's not really necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lughnasadhuk Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Does anyone know where I can get a right handed receiver end plate sling mount in the UK? It needs to fit the WE. Would I need to get a M4 tool to remove the stock tube and fit the end plate? Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
accuracy Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 what do you owners think of the external build of the WE. Like does the quality of the receiver surpass AEG versions made by G&P, CA? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 by far mate ! As I said in my review the build quality is identical to the UK made M4 and I have never ,ever felt an airsoft gun feel so sturdy ! And that is being said by someone who has currently got 40 airsoft guns in the armoury and in the 18 year in airsoft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rottenotto Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Would I need to get a M4 tool to remove the stock tube and fit the end plate? Regards Nice to have, but no, not needed to take it off. It is put on rather loosely at the factory. You will be able to unthread it with your fingers. Especially after a few days in full auto! Everything loosens on the gun with the recoil so stay on top of all your nuts, bolts, tension pins, & grub screws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LordElpus Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Don't know if the WA pistol grips will fit the WE but EBB are now selling HK416 style grips for the WA http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?cur...roducts_id=2029 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 * QUALITY IS 100% BRAND-NEW GUARANTEED * for WA and M4 rifle, DO NOT fit AEG and WE M4 * Free Shipping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 the WA M4 doesn't use milspec grips? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slu Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Those grips look almost exactly like TangoDown Battlegrips, which do fit the WE. Though the real article costs twice as much, twice as much is still just $35. Edited February 19, 2009 by slu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Horsem4an, thanks for the info. I think its page 44. It still remains unclear as to "how" you adjust it...some posts are saying switch out the rubber buck sleeve, some say turn the knurled ring...anyone know? Do I have to remove the whole assembly before adjusting? Thanks, everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marky [UE] Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Just a quick update: My Xcortech X3200 finally arrived so I just ran my version 2 AFC from William at airsoftbuddy through the chrono: G&G 0.28g on semi at around 19 degrees c using Abbey Predator Ultra Gas registered between 355 (first shot) and 360>372fps I now also have a serious headache after spending the last week trying to source RS Magpul MOE hand guard and the RS CTR mil-spec stock. MidwayUK has now delisted the CTR stocks that used to be on their site and the other very few UK suppliers either don't have stock or don't reply to email enquiries. Has anyone ever tried to send these types of components from the US? Has anyone managed to import this type of component from the US? I have no idea why export law in the US should really affect a stock or a handguard but hey. Edited February 19, 2009 by Marky [UE] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cocofr69 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi guys here are the first pictures of a WE M4 with a M16A2 front set the modified outer barrel the gun complete The next step is to install a RS A2 stock. I can order a pack of outer barrel and make them modified, price would be 140$ each and delay 2 weeks before shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
