frogfish Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I would have ordered mags instead of PTS parts, but enjoy it when you get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul202 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 ^Yeah, I definitely plan on ordering more mags. Since it is pretty cold here in Michigan I probably won't be skirmishing for another couple of months, so I don't need 5 mags. However, once I sell my GHK AK74M I'll have the funds to get more mags.

frogfish Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thats quite a switch, I loved my GHK AK when I had one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul202 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah, I actually got it a couple months ago in a trade. However, I found that I don't really enjoy the AK platform at the time being. If I sell it for $300 then it will help with the purchase of the KJW M4. I already have TB-Stalker possibly interested, I'm just waiting for him to reply back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul202 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well fortunately I saved almost $60 because UNcompany has a 12% deal. Unfortunately, shipping was $118. BTW, does anyone know if this gun will get through US Customs without an orange tip? I noticed in the order that I marked no for orange tip, and I sent them an email and included a message in the Paypal saying to add the orange tip. I am going to be pretty off if my $500 package is stuck in customs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toadvine Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Just opened the box for my new KJW M4 The loader for the magazines is difficult to use. Is there some trick to make loading simpler? I can't imagine using this tube loader during a game. This GBBR seems to get rave reviews - but I gotta say, the loader is pretty sorry. Anybody have any tips on how to load this thing quickly and easily? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine using this tube loader during a game. This GBBR seems to get rave reviews - but I gotta say, the loader is pretty sorry. Anybody have any tips on how to load this thing quickly and easily? New mag springs take some time to break in, so the more you load them, the easier it'll get. As for the loading adapter itself, there are some mods you can make to it to use a standard speed loader... Also Cradle is working on their own adapter, which should be out soon, and I'm sure it'll be worth it's weight in gold...

Paul202 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 ^What loading mods are you talking about? I am also getting a KJW M4 and am trying to learn everything I can. Also, is there an ETS on the cradle airsoft loading tool? I am going to buy a velocity reducer and would like to buy it with the loading tool to save shipping. UNCompany replied back, saying they would put an orange tip on it no problem. If you haven't ordered from them, I highly recommend it. They have great pieces and are very helpful. If you order from them now then you get 12% off, which saved me almost $60. On a side note, I have read up to page 110 of the thread. I have exams this coming week so I won't get much reading done, but hopefully I can finish reading the thread by the time my rifle comes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 ETA on the loaders is 2 weeks. Starting production tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul202 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Awesome.I will probably buy one along with a velocity reducer and poly belt. In a couple months I will hopefully have enough money to buy a V1+ bolt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxlycan Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Is there any way to load the m4 without the included loader? I need a way to load it in the mean time. My mum didn't know what it was and threw it away. I was just about to try and order it from KJ but now I'll wait for the cradle one (velocity reducer and piston are great btw) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul202 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 ^What does the Piston do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxlycan Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 ^What does the Piston do? It increases the durability of it because the stock piston has been known to crack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roman! Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I will probably get two Cradle loaders. One in my gear during the game and one spare back at the car. Not that I have ever lost anything on the field before Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Scion, I was in LA last month and GI said that they were out of stock, however they may have stopped carrying it since. You can order them from overseas, from retailers such as eHobbyasia, redwolfairsoft and UNCompany which are all based in Hong Kong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul202 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 SR25 look? Here is mine, I used parts from my G&G SR25, bought an new extra upper reciever, installed them together and here is my KJW Gbbr: (please ignore the 20 round live mag, just for show wishing the weapon is real) Where did you get an extra upper reciever? Did you buy a whole new M4 or did you somehow order the parts from KJW? I am on page 111 of this thread and they're saying that it's illegal for KJW to ship an Upper reciever to the US.

KJW will not ship uppers or lowers into the states, so it's a matter of finding another gun in most cases. That's how u built my 2nd upper...
