kix76 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, I have one , what ?! this awesome GBB . Today i took it for the first time at the field. Totaly I shooted about 1200 rounds ( 200 0.25 and 1000 0.3 ). Prior to play I made some mods - hopup teflon tape mod .That's because I think I have the hopup issue. I didnt know there was such an issue, I was thinking that's normal ( all bbs, even 0.20, 0.23, 0.25 drop about 40m away even with max. hop, I was thinking something like "maby this is the way TK loves it" ) ). Anyway, w/ teflon tape after a lot of testing I've found a "position" , but it's now fixed for 0.3 . - barrel SRC 6.03 , i had it laying around, kinda buggy barrel for an AEG so I modified it with the right tools and now it's in my rifle. This was just for testing purpose, next week I will put a prommy in it ( with thisone I will go to a machinist to prepare it ). I used propane and it shoots starting at 155-157m/s (about 510 fps) with full mag and 0.2g. The lowest speed was ~ 145m/s (119m/s with 0.3) after burst and with mag almost empty... I got just 2 small problems in 1200 bbs fired but those was due to the dust ... fixed in about 10s during battle. Forward assist and everything else worked perfectly. Guys, what is with this hopup issue?! I've seen it accidentaly , this is the second time I try to read this thread, but untill now I'm just on page 16 . Many info and a lot to read. Nothing about the hopup untill now, and at my time/rithm probably I will get to that post in 1-2 weeks ). Is any fix beside teflon mod?! I checked my wheel , the lever pushing the hopup gum .. everything looks ok just it doesnt push it enough. Sorry for asking this prior to reading entire thread but is gigantic and the search function doesnt resolve much... P.s. sorry for my engrish Edited March 21, 2010 by kix76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's possible that the bucking isn't seated right or the cuts may not be precise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kix76 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 nonono, the cuts are made as perfect as possible ... and this issue I had with the stock barrel also. Out of the box, even with max hop and 0.2 bb, the trajectory was straight and down at 35-40 m. no "up" . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GingaNinga Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Have read through all posts twice, but can't for the life of me remember the size of the Allen screw that holds the pistol grip... I am out shopping for tools and wonder if anyone can let me know what size I need? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam McKenzie Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Do you spray silicon spray on your BB's or in your barrel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Speed= Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Does anybody know how well KJW mags fit in these pouches? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I think the best thing to do is really take a mag down and test it, or wait until t_hum finishes his STANAGs.. @Travis: you are aware you're gonna need a factory to make enough of those things?

TechnoMagi Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Does anybody know how well KJW mags fit in these pouches? Its a fairly tight fit, but it works. I've been having really good results with the Condor pouches that hold 2 magazines, and have elastic on the sides to pull tighter when one is removed (Too lazy to pull photos or find it online) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rookie Ab Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 It's a 5mm.

poopstania Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I've found to Skirmish the KJW M4 Effectively All You Need Is 1 Magazine!! NO WAIT - That's Just ME!!! I have over 13,000 Hard Beans through the gun with Only The 2 Magazines I first bought with the gun. I never shoot full auto in games, rather I shoulder, aim and fire as the gun is accurate and responsive. I don't 'Lone Wolf' it in games and have done well with only the 2 magazines. All depends on your style of play,,, I guess I'm not the only one -- I have just one magazine, and I do pretty well -- I never have to do a field reload. Just take shots you know you can make. And have a guy with you who has the capability of cover fire. Even in the cold, when I only get like 7 or so shots per gas fill, I do fine (I have a propane canister in a MOLLE radio pouch for recharging). I only have to reload at the end of each round. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this rifle -- no more batteries, gearboxes, etc. Just waiting for a CQB barrel, and a 10" Troy MRF. Then I think I'll be satisfied.

Speed= Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't think I'm going to wait for t-hum's mags. I'm just gonna sell my KJW and 6 mags and buy a WE m4 v3. The fact that the thermolds don't fit in my pouches and demand a pain in the *albartroth* speed loader that is hard to carry on the field has made up my mind. I'll be putting together a for sale thread fo it soon but I'll entertain offers. NO trades except for said WE gun and mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TechnoMagi Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 And you should sell the mags to me :] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poopstania Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Ooh, how much per mag? I'll probably buy one or two, if they're a good deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bastel Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) How much for all mags including shippin to germany? @poopstania, are your magpul parts originals or clones? Element? Are these parts good? Edited March 21, 2010 by Bastel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kix76 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 what about hopup issue ? my bbs even with max hop just go straight and after 35-40m drops. anyone else got this problem ? - i did not siliconed the mag or the hopup bucking and this is still happening after 1500 bbs . - i used 0.20, 0.23, 0,25, 0.3 , same result just bigger range as weight increases ( so practicaly i dont have a hop up system) . - as temporary fix, I used teflon tape to squish a little the gum, but the precision is too bad now.

Look back over the past 10 or so pages. Some guys have resorted to using heat shrink tubing on the hop arm to make it slightly thicker. Maybe the KJW needs an enhanced hop arm. Ill look into it.
