PapayaSalad Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Took some pictures with my phone since I'm at work. It's pretty darn cloudy out too. Plastic feels the same as my plastic bodied G&G. There was a couple plastic burs along the inside, but some sanding will even that out. Not much else to say about it. Going to install it when I get the time and update as I go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theshaneler Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) does anyone know if this rail will work with the KJW without mods: http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Accessories_RIS_Systems_SOCOM_Gear_MK18_9_5_Inch_Daniel_Defense_SOPMOD_II_RIS_II_Black.htm it says it fits PTWs and WE/WA but normal AEGs need some mods i remember reading at some point in here that the madbull one will fit, but after a quick skim, i couldn't find info for this rail in particular. any help is appreciated Edited September 10, 2010 by theshaneler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziofester-asaf Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have a WE too, WE rails doesn't fit the KJW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziofester-asaf Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 What were you doing when it happened? Did you do two magazines full auto back to back? Ive seen frost and ice form on the inside of the bolt cup from heavy full auto use. Hello, I did only one mag! full auto, it happened before ending the first mag.... and now again and again.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Your gun is stock? Got the prototype for the new BCG design today. Pics coming soon. Edited September 10, 2010 by t_hum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The only sure way to tell if you need a carrier extension is to observe the fit between the buffer and bolt carrier as you shut the receiver. As the receiver pivots downwards the bolt carrier should contact the buffer at about 25 degrees from closed and begin to push the buffer into the buffer tube as you continue to close the receivers. If its not hitting at all or it doesnt touch until its nearly closed the buffer is not sitting far enough back. Ive never seen one of these reshaped buffer detents. If it is ground down the back surface should be about .050" offset. More is fine, less is bad. If you have one of these detents the above check does not apply. Would fitting the carrier extension with a reshaped detent cause any problems? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Nope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Cheers I'll fit it as planned then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ahadsz Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 ok, so is this gun worth it then or would i be better of getting a upgraded wetti m4 or scar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 It's without a doubt the most reliable gbbr available. I don't know what things you value though so it might not be the best choice. What is important to you in a gbbr? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahadsz Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 something that will last long and good on inside and the outside (looks), If upgrading is needed then so be it, and as long as it is accurate and far shooting then its perfect. Oh and hopefully the mags arent too expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I'd say the kjw is the best option given your criteria. Externals on some WA models are better looking but the kjw is a workhorse that will keep going for you long past the life of the others often even when upgraded.

ahadsz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 oh ok, well i consider it a choice then, anything else that maybe need upgrading if there a links that would be appreciated, and im getting the cqb-r version as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My friend has a KJW M4 that has never failed him. Quite simply the best rifle on the market for it's price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Going to install it when I get the time and update as I go. What was the price shipped? Your gun is stock? Got the prototype for the new BCG design today. Pics coming soon. I have to see this T! Should bring that tomorrow, is it a resin prototype like the last one? I agree. My friend has a KJW M4 that has never failed him. Quite simply the best rifle on the market for it's price. Agreed. There have been little to no straight up Lemons that I have known of, and what little problems you may have can be fixed easy and cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahadsz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 alrighty, but still there has been no answer to my question, are there any upgrades needed that will improve performance and accuracy/range? Also these mags take gg right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poopstania Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 You can get a TBB from t_hum, though it's not necessary -- I haven't noticed that big of a difference between the standard and the TBB. You can also get a velocity reducer (which I don't use) for places with FPS limits. Otherwise, there aren't any necessary performance upgrades to my knowledge. The mags take GG, yes -- I use propane with a drop of silicone oil, which is essentially GG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahadsz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 What about the ra-tech version, and no i wont be getting a velocity reducer, and I will be using gg, what gram bb do you suggest? Also, there is a slight problem I hear that if i import from asia this gun as there are no american dealers except stupid airsplat, is it possible for it to be seized by my countries customs and then I never get it? Or should I get it from like the UK and have it shipped over as it could be safer alternative? What do you guys think? Are there certain precautions to avoid this?

poopstania Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I got mine from Airsplat with no problems. So, that is what I recommend. I originally used .28s, but ran out, so now I'm using .25s. There's not enough of a difference to me to justify buying more .28s right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahadsz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Do you have any resolution the importing issue, and I guess ill use .28 gram bb's as well, have you seen the ra-tech version? http://en.ratech.com.tw/product/rag/ra_custome_work/rag_custome_work_2.php The 4th one down.

poopstania Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 People are getting their rifles, so as long as you order from a reputable retailer, I think you should be ok. Apparently the RA-Tech upgrades are sub-par. I've heard that their piston x-ring is ######. I'd stick with what is proven and made in USA -- t_hum's Cradle Airsoft parts.

ahadsz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 ok where can I get those, t-hum how much do you cost for all the parts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 You can PM me with an order or visit the website: www.cradleairsoft.com Prices are as follows: $22 for reducer $28 for piston $15 for carrier extension Andrew, Ill try to remember to bring the carrier today. Its made from an ABS/Polycarbonate blend. Pretty tough stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahadsz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I dont want the reducer but, do you guys sell mags too? And inner barrels possibly? and whats that carrier extension? Edited September 11, 2010 by ahadsz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
