t_hum Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Its an interesting concept though my inclination is to say its a step in the wrong direction. IMO, one of things that makes the KJW so much more reliable than the other systems out there is the bolt. They have moved the bolt cup to a piston design and now itegrate the cup into the carrier and use a side lock plate. My guess is that Tanio Koba was not involved in this revision which I think would speak volumes. Ill hold final reservations until I test one but my guess is that the sidelock plate is a failure point as well as the bolt catch area which, it would appear, is just like the other designs out there and uses no reinforcement or pin.

delarosa Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 EDIT!!!........I did a missuse of the term "detention pin"...when i'm addressing the "detention pin" in the previous post, i really mean the rear & front assembly tabs in the upper to field strip the gun...

Kai_Wolf Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well, I just got my plastic upper back from Thum today. It was the first to have the TDC mod done to it (plastic receiver that is) and Ive just assembled it and shot it with .20's and WOW. Total game changer in performance. Im getting a slight spread due to the bb's being so light, but Im going to be put some .28's through it soon and see the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Awesome news kai, question!...it was too difficult to accomplish the mod in the plastic one?..cause my CQB Tanio project has a plastic upper and i want to perform the mod. Â Does anyone can provide a guide to disassemble the lower of the Tanio???...I need to do some deep cleaning and that would be awesome to have a guide so i could not break something trying in a bad way...thanks!

t_hum Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 The process I used was the same as I use with the metal ones. It just requires very sharp tools and a little more patience as the plastic is more likely to deform and deflect the drill as the modifications are being done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Well I go out to the airsoft field for the first time in VA and who of all people do I run into.... Kai_Wolf. Â His hop is producing similar results to mine, so this I think we can say mine is not just a fluke. However now that I know there are two in the area I would like to sit down, run a few weights of BBs through our weapons and see what kind of performance we can crank out of these things. Looking forward to playing a bit more with my KJW, had a bit of a hit calling issue with the kiddie crowd today so I ran something with more mag capacity to counteract it.

Kai_Wolf Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I was also able to test .28's in the gun during Frogfish's visit to the local field. As it was supposed to do, it shot straight with impressive range. Most definitely in the 200's of feet. I did test .43's to see the consistency and I was still able to overhop them. When using them, there was absolutely no lateral variance I could see at all and same goes for the hop up. It would go in the same place over and over. That just shows I suppose, how consistent the hop up system makes the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have this at home but only use it in winter when the temperatures are relatively low/safe to use it and the WE M14 already has quite the kick already anyways  So i seriously discourage people on using it during the summer since it can cause the dreaded "flying parts everywhere" syndrome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KAG Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I use Guarders power up gas(220psi/16kg/cm2) mixed with Guarders green gas(140psi/10kg/cm2).   Last local game here it was about 20C. I only use semi and the rifle worked fine. I could feel an encrease in recoil but not a "monster" recoil in my opinion.  Is the bolt in TK/KJW light if you compare it to other GBBR rifles?  I have never tried the WE M14 myself but what I have heard from friends it got a pretty heavy kick straight out of the box just running on propane.  I don´t think the magazines have any problems handling more powerfull gases. I filled up one of my mags with Guarders 220psi gas weeks ago and it´s still holds the gas without any leaks.  A quote from Redwolf airsoft:  Although not officially sanctioned by KJ, some enthusiasts have found that the magazine can in fact take CO2 (charged using a Madbull CO2 adapter) to acheive even eye-popping velocities.

danielsilva Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Those numbers are a bit misleading as I tested my 2 bottles of Guarder power up gas and although they did have higher pressures, they aren't anywhere close the numbers they give. Â More around the 150 psi mark at room temp ( 24 degrees ) so careful when using propylene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trustkill Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi Guys! I have a question for you all. My M4 will not fire in full auto mode. It fire's perfect-ally on semi auto with no issues. Â What it does is fire 1 round as if it is in semi and the trigger fails to re-set. Any Advice? Anything need to be clarified? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
