sacairsoftsn00py Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks johnyew! I am looking forward to a cradle airsoft version tight bore barrel though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 You can order them anytime via email: contact at cradleairsoft.com or a PM through the boards here. Currently they are made from 6.03 madbull barrels with the modified cuts to fit. Cost is $45. Â They will be up on the new site which, unfortunately, is still in the works. Turns out Ive been a pretty busy guy lately and am behind on a few things. Progress is being made on the magazine though! Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dview Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) My KJW TK M4A1 arrived today. Ordered from Uncompany arrived in 11 days to Romania (Airmail shipping). I'm really happy with it, looks much better the CTW that i received today also. Probably in this evening i'll fill some gas in the mag and shoot some bb's (indoor, outdoor is - 19 grades Celsius.) Also, i'm waiting the first game with it. Bye. Edited January 22, 2010 by dview Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 give it a few shots out as it'll be interesting to see how it performs in such unagreeable whether Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kai_Wolf Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 If its anything like what everyone else is experiencing, it should do just fine, to great in cold weather (in the context of GBB rifles that is). Congrats on your purchase dview! I hope you will be as satisfied as we are. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrTreble Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Kai - satisfied isn't the word. =P I am very very very happy to have the KJW as my GBBR! Â t hum - any news on the 6.01mm barrels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 interestingly the sniper thread reports that good 6.03 barrels are actually better than 6.01 barrels for consistency and accuracy. I wish these would get back in stock on WGC as I'm going to be ordering qutie a few extra bits with it at the same time so I only want to pay one lot of shipping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I made a post just on the last page regarding the barrels. 6.03 barrels are ready to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dview Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Thanks Kai_Wolf, i'm sure i made a good acquisition buying KJW TK. Previously i had one AGM M4 GBB but after 1-2 months i sold it, the mags ware way to heavy (the AGM ones) and i saw that i had to put more money in it to make it playable. Anyway, i have to wait till the weather will be better here (right now is -14 grades Celsius and its a heavy wind), and also, to receive the other spare mags and the conversion parts that i ordered (i want to make a CASV Vltor look like) and i will put some pics here. Sorry if it was posted, but you guys know any easier way to reload the mag (not with the "kit" that GBB comes with)? Thanks. Edited January 24, 2010 by dview Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Although I've yet to get my hands on one, if its a top loader which I think it is, the best option is to get a speedloader and put your thumb on the other side of the loading point and keep it pressed firmly up against, sadly that's probably what you've been doing so the only real option is to erm, buy more mags XD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raven1 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Saturday, January 23rd, 2010  0745 Hours Temperature 28F / -2.22C In Snowy-Windy-Over cast / Sonoita, Arizona - 5,000 Feet in Elevation  Propane Gas Used - Coleman Propane Fuel - http://www.thegreathardwarestore.com/Produ...&click=2744  Firing Mode Rapid Fire Semi Auto - 1 Magazine Firing Mode Full Auto Fire - 1 Magazine   Gun State:  Magpul B.A.D. Lever - Cradle Airsoft Piston - Cradle Airsoft Aluminum Velocity Reducer - Using 'Echo 1' .28 BBs, Cradle Airsoft 6.03 Tight Bore 280mm Length for 10.5" CQB Barrel   Major Mistake On My Part Driving out to the AO I stowed my vest in the back of an open air truck bed (The back of the truck of a Chevrolet Silverado) it was raining and then snowing on the way to the AO. I had mistakenly left BOTH of my propane bottles in the dump pouch of my vest. Thus, Both tanks were nearly frozen as we arrived at the AO. The duration the tanks were exposed to first the rain, then the snow was 2.5 hours. Once at the AO it was difficult to fill the warm KJW magazines that rode along with me in the warm cab of the truck.   Chrono Testing:  Magazine 1:  1 through 6 shots 339 FPS Shot 7 292 FPS Shot 8 267 FPS Shot 9 249 FPS Shot 10 249 FPS Shot 11 249 FPS  Magazine 2:  1 through 5 shots 349 FPS Interesting To Note The Huge Drop In FPS Due To Cool Down!! Shot 6 255 FPS Shot 7 239 FPS Shot 8 239 FPS Shot 9 Magazine Empty  Cool Down Effect Was MASSIVE! Magazines were Extremely Cold To The Touch. Sadly I was unable to use the KJW for the duration of the day.  High temperature for the day reached 41F / 5C  Magazines Placed In Warm Truck Cab  Please Note: Magazines and propane canisters placed into warm truck cab, in the open, on the rear seat. Played from 0830hrs until 1200hrs, returned to truck and let a friend shoot the remainder of the first magazine in semi auto fire. Locked back after last round.  2nd magazine filled for a 4 - 5 second shot of propane, remainder of bbs shot in full auto fire. Firing cycles quick initially, slowing near the end due to cool down. Magazine locked back after last round  Initially Loaded Magazines with 32 BBs each  Several people at the game noted their hop up bucking had ripped due to the cold, it was marked by irregular bb flight paths with No Consistency from shot to shot. I have yet to play in weather this cold and due to my absentmindedness was unable to use my KJW M4.  My Apologies To All,,,   Total Magazines Expended Today = 2  1 BB Load To 1 Gas Fill  Total Issues / Incidents Encountered = 0  Total Bolt Locking Back After Last BB = 2  Total Magazine BBs Expended = 578  Total Round Count = 11,518 Edited January 25, 2010 by Raven1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Raven, when you speak about ripped hopups... are you talking about KJW M4s or other airsoft guns? Â Also, since you're using a velocity reducer, what velocity is it set to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Raven, I looked at the game pics yesterday and could have sworn I saw you using an AEG. Now I know why. Â Propane expands anywhere above -44 deg F. Obviously the closer you get to that number the less it expands. Playing at or below freezing just isnt practical with gasses that cause cooldown.

Phenom1 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Out of curiosity, does anyone else's KJWM4 have a hole in the magwell where you can see the mag release spring? Â The hole in mine doesn't seem uniform, like it was a casting mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrTreble Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I just looked, and my M4 has the same thing. The metal surrounding the hole looks weak and brittle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Phenom1 - Â Yep, mine has that too. I'm not too worried about it though. Â -Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As it was first wet from the rain, then as we drove into the snow the tanks had zero movement of liquid propane in them when agitated.  A high amount of AEG hop ups had ripped during the game.  The Velocity reducer is set to the Factory KJW which is No Reduction At All - Just Like Your KJW M4 IS Right Out Of The Box!   @Phenom @MrTreble @PianoBlack  My KJW M4 lower also had the hole in the magazine well where the magazine release assembly passes through. Never found it to be an issue.  Having since replaced my lower with a New Lower. I can report that the New(er) Lower Does NOT Have the hole in the magazine well and that the magazine release assembly is Not Exposed,,,  @t_hum  This what the day was like most of the time, windy, over cast and snow!  As stated the gun shot well in spite of the super cooled propane charged into the magazines, How Ever the cool down was quite dramatic!

johnyew Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 To those whose hop up is not responsive, try adding a layer or two of heat shrink tubing to the lever that pushes against the hopup rubber. In my case, two layers reduced the arm's side by side 'wobble' and I can visually confirm that the hopup is working as it should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Did you just lay the pieces in there or did you attach them with an adhesive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I would imagne wrap the heatshrink around the arm and then shrink it carefully to slightly thicken it, although I haven't got a hop to look at I imagine that'll make sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnyew Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 It is heat shrink tubing used in electronic/electrical work. I cut about 5mm in length and inserted it on to the arm and shrunk it with a lighter. I'll try to post pics tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
