RacingManiac Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Something I foundout from my trip to KIC in Taipei, I got a KSC Taiwan's nozzle from them, along with the piston seal(orange instead of KSC Japan's green one). The reason is because KSC Japan's nozzle is thinner wall for the HFC134a application (which is why it cracks), and thus it has a fatter seal to accomodate for the larger ID. So if you go with the KSC TW(and I assume KWA as well)'s nozzle, you need to replace the seal since they have thicker wall(and thus smaller ID).... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) If anything, the seal on my KSC is now slightly 'looser' than with the original part. Must chrono it... Â [minutes later]: 280fps on .25g/Green. What's that, around 0.9J? Â Works for CQB Edited November 30, 2009 by Panoptes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kretschmer Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 NPAS are on their way from RA-Tech!   Any words on these?  Mine arrived today but I wasn´t at home. Will pick it up tomorrow. In Spain we have such a bad postal service that I´m sure some of you guys already have your hands on it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Er, yes.  To save me duplicating, have a read of my findings in the Ra-tech npas News thread.  Please let us know how you find yours.   Greg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Boy installing the nozzle is a pain in the butt...never thought I'd need to pick up threads and needles but thats what I ended up using to pull the springs back through the bolt carrier...The KSC Taiwan nozzle and piston seal works pretty well, tried 2 full mags on full auto after and it seems alright, and my springs did not become mangled.....I think I'll skip on the NPAS just because its such a pain to install the nozzle....lol  Lovely now though that I have the nicely marked KSC Japan version with the Taiwan internal....

greg Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I think I'll skip on the NPAS just because its such a pain to install the nozzle....lol I used a crochet hook instead of the cotton & after all the practice I got last night, it wa less than five minutes. Â However, I did manage to break one of the four retainer, allen head studs & discovered that one of my return screws had been chewed. Â Den-trin is out anyone know where I can get replacements?

aznriptide859 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Curious, anyone do some winter tests on this badboy? Â I fired 80 round on one gas fill in 30F snowing weather - no issues at all. I'm amazed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greg Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Galactica is right. Â We were doing the n-pas stuff in the shed at 8.5 degreesC. Yes the fps was down but the guns were cycling fine. Â Â Greg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kretschmer Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Today I went skirmishing with the mp7 and I had the same experience. 11º to 16º, inconsistent hop, low fps, bad accuracy and performance but not a single cycling error.  I´ll have to shed it till march...

galactica Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I got some water down my barrel into the hop when I was out last time, which made it pretty much no-hop. It was lashing it down though. Could it have been water? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kretschmer Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I´ve had some skirmishes while raining and yes, I think it could have been. Couple that with the freezing gas and some oil and probably you can get an ice skating hop... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greg Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) So, part no. 24, the nozzle return springs wot pop of & get mangled. Â Other than Den trin, who are still 'out', has anyone found a supplier? Â & the barrel? Â Any one found anything yet? Â I'm currently looking at possibilities, after market 'extended' barrels for extra long ksc pistols. As yet, nothing solid. Lalax used to make a 178mm for the m93r auto9, which might have fit. But it's discontinued.............. Â Help! Â Â Greg. Edited December 7, 2009 by greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kretschmer Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) But you still played on. You trooper you.   Greg.  Some of the funniest ones are while raining. We play on a mixed forested/open/CQB old military engineers abandoned base, and rain gives you cover to jump between buildings without being seen or hit, but still keeps the game balanced as you can´t run without slipping or getting knee-deep in mud and grass. Don´t leave home without a boonie just in case.  I can only play on saturday mornings. That´s negotiable for my wife, but not for the weather .

Can't really help you there.  BTW, I added a drop of CA glue onto the spring and notch on the nozzle. I think it might help altho I haven't gamed with the gun since fixing it.

Yeah thanks for the super glue tip. Â I think it slipped off because I stretched the eye/ring bit when I removed it from the original nozzle. Hopefully this wont matter with new ones.

aznriptide859 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Do you have a length? I could measure some extra KSC Glock return springs and see if they might work XD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 1, Do you have a length? Â 2, I could measure some extra KSC Glock return springs and see if they might work XD. 1, Oo, cheaky. Â 2, Yup, that's exactly what I did. The glock 18 ones are a little too long & the diameter is larger but they just fit if you cut them back by about 1/4". You also have to bend the spring out to produce the 'eye' atatchments that the MP7 needs. Â It's working fine at the moment but I don't consider it a permanent fix. Â Â Greg.

Erik Cartman Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I find the pistol grip is ergonomically too short. Anyone else second that? Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thats more of a problem with how the actual gun was designed no? My issue was more with the right angle grip, but if you shoulder it its not that bad... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
