GingaNinga Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I sold mine about 6-8 months ago, but decided I missed it and bought another one from Redwolf last week. If it arrives with the version 2 bolt, can I simply swap in a version 1? I can probably order the version one directly from Tanio Koba here in Japan, just not sure if it will drop in. I also want to use the Cradle Airsoft parts, and I have experience installing them in the V.1 as that is what I had last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flipnrr Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 been working on mine since i got it....ordered a bunch of parts and while doing the install i noticed some issues and modified it. Â first is the bolt lock that in some instances it will lock back but won't release and someone did a fix using cardboard and tape but i just replaced the spring with a harder tension. Â i know its just airsoft but having no gas tube makes it empty inside the rail and when i got the noveske rail i forgot bout the gas block so i just modified the stock a2 sight so it fits inside the rail. Â note to all getting a rs magpul moe+ grip (rubberized) that it will rub with the fire selector switch and my fix was shaving off the lower part of the switch. Â next is the stock wobble and like the couple post above just use velcro and just use small strips inside the stock and will hold better than electric/duct tape.

Hut73 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Â Â The v1 bolt fits in the V2 upper just fine so you can just drop it in. Â The bolt works in the upper, but I've found that the v1 bolt, and the v2 buffer piston don't always jive so well... Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rautasami Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I would like to make this gun ambi. Any tips how to modify or what parts to use to make fire selector and mag catch ambidextrous? Also, has anyone installed B.A.D. lever? I read somewhere that not all combinations of BAD and ambi mag catch don't work. What would be a working combination with minor modification?

Ian Buenaventura Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 i just ordered the BAD lever also and i know cjradge did the ambi (kac) mag release with the BAD lever with some mod like bending the lever a lil to make some room for the kac. Â im almost done with the externals and now interested of doing the internals....waiting for the cj solutions piston ring and wanted to get a 6.01 tbb so anyone knows where to get it?

White_Rabbit Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well I managed to lay my hands on a mag loader but sadly it looks like this wont be staying with me, I moving to ireland and its just to hot for the FPS limits over there so if anyone in the UK wants a bargain give me a shout Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 With a cradle fps reducer under 328 is easy to achieve. Also to adjust requires dissassembly so might be more legally acceptable than an npas kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White_Rabbit Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 May look into that, but I may sell it anyway lol 220 + p&p sounds fair.... I dunno Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 but they are nearly double the cost, and I don't know aboutyou guys but my current mags are beasts, they take abuse likeno other gas mag does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jackster802 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 For those talking about the BAD lever. No one has said which version they are using. Is it the WA one? WE/PTW one? Or the real steel one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 The WE one is what I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Buenaventura Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 i ordered RS BAD lever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Pretty sure I used a real one, but it has been a long time since I installed it. Â Ver2 bolt set arrived, but not bothering to use it until my ver1 set dies, which likely will be ages. More mags just showed up too. And my upper should be back from t-hum shortly.

Jackster802 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just had my bolt fail. Ver.2. Doesn't catch anymore. Â It has been about 20-30 mags. Kinda a bummer. Looks like Im going to go order 2 from KJW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elanaiba Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 What is the current address to ask for parts from KJW? My buddy has been sending mails to kjworks AT ms47 hinet net but doesn't get any answers. Also, AustinWolv - is t_hum still in the KJW business ?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jackster802 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 That is the right email. They reply to me rather quick. And t_hum is still in the KJW buisness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Address the email to KJW to Diana and keep the English fairly simple. She replied to me and we confirmed the order details in less than 48 hours. Â T_hum is still doing stuff a far as I know. I sent my upper to him last week for the hop mod and should be back sometime this upcoming week. We exchanged a couple emails this weekend also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Buenaventura Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 does t_hum sell tbb too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rautasami Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks for the info guys. So, it seems that RS and WE BAD works... How about mag catch? The Norgon Ambi-Catch works? How about Kac-Knight's Armament Ambidextrous Magazine Release With Cold Weather Button? Still a big question is the ambi fire selector... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
