delarosa Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 We will have pricing very soon. Right now we are trying to get our costs down due to the run being relatively small. Its likely there will only be 100 made and available for preorder for the first run. Previous Cradle customers will get an email when they are made available and notification will be posted here and at other news sites/forums. The carriers will be 7075-T6 with a black hard ano finish. Players with the x/o-ring piston will still be able to drop them right onto the new carrier with the included piston adapter and hardware. (The factory KJW piston will not fit) A complete bolt with reducer, x-ring, and nozzle will be available. No carrier extension is required as the proper length has been built into the carrier body. Great! Very nice to hear the complete bcg with reducer is wrapping up soon. I'll be sure to check that out, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GI Tye Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I used my KJW for the first time at an Op 4 hours away. I got all of t_hum's parts installed and tested the day before including a 6.01 TBB, bolt extention, velocity adjuster and o-ring piston. After using this fine rifle in abttle I am extremely pleased in its performance, even in weather below 40 degrees F. Most others were having battery problems while I was clacking away in semi all day long. I suffered slight cool down effect which was to be expected on a cold day. I am eager to play with it in warmer weather! After a full day's use on the field I have a couple minor concerns that I want to know if they are normal or can be resolved easily. I am pretty sure that all of my concerns deal directly with the bolt catch. I noticed if the bolt is locked back, and I jolt the gun, it will release. It will also release if I am messing with the charging handle. Finally the bolt catch will sometimes release if I slam a mag in the may well in a fast magazine change. This will sometimes catch the bolt half way and stop the mechanism where I will have to recycle the bolt back. Keep in mind, none of the issues above are abusive actions on the gun. All are general and mild combat use. Any tips or suggestions? Is the any adjustments on the bolt catch itself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have a quick question for those gurus of the KJW m4 regarding the hop-up. On it's maximum setting I'm not getting an over hop, in fact on it's maximum setting I'm getting about 160ft range w/.25g bb with it. Should that be what I should expect or is there a mod I can do to improve hop-up performance, I'd rather not have to buy an RA tech rubber, but if that's the solution so be it. I did a search but got frustrated as I have no clue what I am looking for...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hate to double post but... 3 layers of wrap and still won't over hop on highest setting w/.25s. I'm getting a good 200-210 ft where the BBs drop and probably about 190ft of true flight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Did you check the arm was free to move? Also that it was creating a 'bump' as you adjusted it? What Gas are you using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 yep the arm is moving free, I'm using propane but my tank is kinda empty perhaps that has something to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kai_Wolf Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yes, Im curious as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow_Ocelot Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Anyone have any tips on this? The bolt going forwards if you slam in a magazine too hard is common, or at least I've seen it in the 4 that have been in my team. About it getting stuck half way back, the only thing that I could think of causing that is a bent bolt stop, or dirty internals. Have you tried cleaning it? How often do the problems happen?

delarosa Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Phew! finished reading all the pages sure is a lot more relieving @t_hum Im curious about the STANAG and Pmag that you're making, is it possible to swap the internals with the AEG mag(non hicap that is)? and maybe few modifications have to be done. that way, shipping would not be an issue right as we only need the internals and a manual to put it in place? If yes then it would be so great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 The mags will come with STANAG shells. If people want PMAG shells theyll have to find a way to do it on their own. Unfortunately AEG shells won't be a viable option as AEG spec shells will not fit in the KJW magwell. I dont know how modifications would have to be done nor do I know if it will even be possible yet. I guess Ill keep everyone posted on that info as I know it. The reality of things is that in order to guarantee a PMAG fit we would likely have to abandon some of the more unique features of the mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GI Tye Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Any time frame on the new may release date? Will they have larger gas reservoir? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

t_hum Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Reservoir size is larger than the first revision. As it stands now the capacity is about the same as the stock KJW mags. Things being added are a method of loading the bbs without a loading tool and also an internal mechanism to improve shot to shot consistency. Gas capacity may drop a small amount if those two components end up having a larger footprint than we have planned for but I doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brainexploder Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Looking for tips how to clean KJ mags. Had a game this past weekend and did some sweet rolls in the sand, now all my mags are gunked up. You can feel a lot of resistance on the spring as they load. I want to clean and lube them. Should I take them apart or is there a way to do it with out total dissasembly? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 That's some sweet news right there mr t_hum! so regular speed loaders will work? Yes, speed loaders, by hand. Whatever works for you. We are designing a system not unlike some pistol magazines that allow you to depress the follower by hand (only our system is slicker). It also makes the feed lips simpler to machine which has been an area of much frustration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
