weekenny Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Ok Snoop spill LM4 or KJW? After trying an LM4 in a shop I was major disappointed but still would but it way above my ol WA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Theme57 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Has anyone thought of a mod that allows the same stock trigger pull on an AR15 for the KJW M4, but without altering the fps and such in any way? I know milspec is sort of out of the question, but what about trigger pull? I was thinking it doesnt have to be the hammer spring but something on the trigger to increase the pull weight.

Kai_Wolf Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 If it could be done, it could be used as a much more effective training weapon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ok Snoop spill LM4 or KJW? After trying an LM4 in a shop I was major disappointed but still would but it way above my ol WA. KJW V.1 for the sake of function. Gun is more consistent...more accurate...more reliable. You never hear about double feeding or chopping bbs from these. Bolt lock does not wear down the BCG. Hop buckings are pretty good out of the box....just gotta keep em dry so they grip (A shot of electronic parts cleaner onto a shop towel and use a cleaning rod to make sure the bucking is oil free). LM4 has recoil. Precision is lacking as shots sometimes swerve...possibly from getting nicked by the metal bb extractor. LM4 is definitely more fun to shoot....but practicality wise....KJW. LM4 needs to be tweaked more out of the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hut73 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Those kwa kriss vectors are pretty good however. I find it funny that I've seen so many of them for sale already... And I've read a fair number of complaints too??? No matter. I'm sticking w/ Old Faithful Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't want to know ;-) As for the number already for sale people bought it as "am bestest nu gun" now they are all :cry: "doesn't behave like iz AEG" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 My money is on the people selling them are COD fans who didn't expect the realities of owning a gas gun. Well, not necessarily just COD, but the general 'I want a Vector, and this is the only one I can buy, so I'll buy it... Why can't I blast off whole mags in 2.5 seconds without my eyebrows becoming frozen? FOR SALE.' types. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hwagan Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Other than the need for a mount for the T-1, that looks awesome. DD MFR rails always look good imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kireru Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yea i ordered a CO-Witness mount for the T-1Also on its way is a CQB outer barrel, so i can run with a Silencer (barrel extension tube) from inside the MFR and out.Just saw today that DD already made a version as the one i imagined - Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Landa Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 i love the tucked in look of a silencer on the RIS, its gonna look great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outside of the comments that Frog, Kai, and some others have posted about the V1+, what information are you looking for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shroker Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) hey t_hum. I noticed my V2 bolt seems different from your video. later generation design perhaps?My spring is attatched to my piston/valve assembly.Anyways; on another note, I stripped the *fruitcage* out of the screw thats on the side of the BCG. really weak screw head it seems. maybe I need a thinner flat head.Edit: to the part way back when I mentioned my BCG wasn't being caught on empty. The side where that lever comes up is pretty worn. Edited March 7, 2013 by Shroker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Well finally got parts to put my V1 bolt back together, I'm not sure why but my V1 weapon just didn't like the V1+ bolt, my V2 weapon on the other hand loves it. My v1 was light striking and seemed to just have issues with the trigger group when the v1+ was installed, not sure what it was, but I think it was something to do with my weapon on the BCG. Also snagged a cradle BB loader, its a little snug on my older mags but fits newer ones fine, This kinda goes along with my theory there has been some change to the mags and not just the weapon. The loader worked like a charm though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few burrs on mine leftover from the milling process but nothing a few passes of a hobby file can't fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I reported early on when I got mine that I was having issues, and I've come to the conclusion that it's definitely the something within the V1 lower that's the culprit. Here's how I've come to that conclusion. I tested the v1+ w/ my v1 lower extensively, including swapping out springs, etc. and it still seems to have what I would call a light strike issue. Recently, I purchased a v2 lower from Paul202. I dropped one of my v1 uppers onto it w/ the v1+ bcg, and it seems to work flawlessly. Fortunately for me, I've now essentially got 2 guns that I can run. I'll run the Cradle v1+ in my v1 upper/v2 lower long rifle configuration, and the Cradle test bcg in my v1 CQB gun. As for the Cradle loader, I've tried it on a couple mags, all of which are v1, and it's definitely pretty snug. Seems to feed pretty well, but I want to give it a bit more testing w/ each of my other mags. It looks awesome, and I'm definitely excited to have it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raven1 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hola Bitchachos ! ! Just a quick note to let you know I have extensively tested the COMPLETE V1+ Bolt Carrier and this is a sweet reliability upgrade ! ! ! Been gone for a minute as I've been busy ( So Don't ASK ! ) I apologize in advance for my Overly Detailed Reports on the KJW M4 . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are having light strikes make sure that your guide rod moves smoothly through the range of motion the carrier makes. I do this with the carrier out of the gun. Basically make sure the underside of the guide tab that locks into the rear of the receiver isnt hanging up on the carrier body. Light rub is fine. Binding is bad. Ive seen that some guide rods are pretty out of spec on that part of the casting and some even have nasty mold lines that rub quite badly on the carrier. A light filing of that portion of the guide rod can free up the movement of the carrier. Yes, the loaders are tight and were designed to be. We found that any lateral slop made for less than perfect loading some of the time. So we opted for snug as opposed to a misfeed. The paint finishes are inconsistent in thickness it seems, as well. We averaged out thicknesses the best we could so some may find a mag tight and another only snug. Everything should wear in just fine. It was amazing to see just how sensitive the internal features of the loaders were to tolerance deviations during machining. It took us a while to come up with a machining strategy that gave us perfect results. The loaders are, in fact, a very tight tolerance part.
