Landa Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Hey guys im selling a couple of my KJ M4 mags, they are of course in great shape and hold air forever. Have too many, hardly use them. Here is a picture of them: http://oi61.tinypic.com/14mzxc3.jpg 34$ shipped edit: thats the price for each... its OBO, PM me, have more pictures of each, but they are pretty equal in use. (barely any) Edited February 18, 2014 by Landa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grendel Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 This is strange, I was thinking everyone was going to be pretty excited about the new USGI magazines for the KJ´s and I don´t see any buzz around. Should I understand that when a topic is quiet is because no one has a single issue? I guess I´m not the only one that never felt in love with the tanio koba m4 just because of those thermold mag. Now with those new (and hevier) stanags things could change... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcc-dano Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 From what I heard they were expensive and heavy. Were I to get more mags I would get the stanags though. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nath Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) KJW/TK stanags are heavy bastards... like much heavier than thermhods. Also the price difference is a thing to consider. Edited February 27, 2014 by Nath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grendel Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I´ve been checking prices and weight of different magazines in ehobbyasia and this is what I found: KJW thermold: $45 and 400g KJW stanag: $45 and 720g ProWin 50rd for WA: $62 and 460g WE 30rd: $37.99 and 300g Beta Project PMAG for WA: $52 and 325g I don´t know if the weight is including the packaging. A RS STANAG magazine is 450g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_AK-47_and_M16 and a last thing: a Beta Project PTS PMAG 75rd for AEG weights 110g Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Landa Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) real steel M16/M4 magazine Fully loaded is 450grams... wayy to heavy. To get an idea, if you carry 4 KJ stang mags, that is equal to 6.4 thermold... (BTW, im selling 2 thermolds lol 60$ shipped for both.)

Hut73 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 It has been confirmed that the Stanag's are heavier than the original thermold style. The genius behind the Thermold, was that the ribs gave the magazine additional structural integrity without having to add a ton of additional metal to be able to sustain the internal pressure from the larger gas reserves. W/ the Stanag style, in order to maintain that size reservoir and get similar gas efficency, they probably either had to make the walls of the mag thicker, or use a more dense metal which added the additional weight. And while all those other mags for those other brands of guns may be considerably lighter, they all leak like freaking sieves, and are a PITA to maintain. I have become a master at breaking down my KJW thermolds and keeping them in great shape and there's really nothing to it. I for one am perfectly happy w/ my thermold style mags, and will only move to the Stanag's if my thermolds completely fail(which I don't ever see happening) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi gents, long time no see. I cant believe the thread hasnt seen any action in about a month. Ill get to the meat of it... We've got an opportunity to bring the M4 STANAGS over in bulk. Im trying to feel the group here out to see what kind of interest there is in the mags. Price would be approx. $52 USD. Let me know!

frogfish Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi T_Hum, I think most of us are using the Facebook group as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) There's a Facebook group? To be honest I've gone over to using WE GBBr's and haven't skirmished the kjw for a long while, though I've lent it out and ppl have been impressed. I did test it today on the new WE Nuprol 3.0 and... Shock horror, one of my mags had a little leak! Quick tweak with Allen key seemed to solve it but I should really service the mags, they've been stored so long. As for European KJW, owners (UK) I don't personally think I need stanag mags. And I have never seen another KJW M4 over here, though I know they are about. Demand in UK will be very low I'm afraid. Edited April 9, 2014 by Number5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrTreble Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Maybe I'm a little paranoid but when I turned over my KJ M4 today I notice little marks on the front pivot tabs on the upper receiver. I took the upper off and took a closer look. At first I thought they were mold lines or something, but they look more like crack lines. Should I be expecting an eminent failure from the front pivot tabs? Would suck b/c I bought it new and only had it for a week. Anyone have any opinions on the how well the plastic upper fair against normal uses (compared to the metal uppers) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Landa Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 you'll be fine. My lower has a crack going down from the top and ends in the fire selector pin like half an inch long... its been there for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hut73 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Those are mold lines anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrTreble Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Good to hear. I am extremely careful not to do anything that would break those front tabs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hut73 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 hi all, has anyone ever tried to fit a 80% reviever to a kjw m4? chances are pretty good that the specs won't match up between the two, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to take a look... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

number47 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 HI guys, Thinking of buying the 'Outlaw' folding stock adapter for my KJ M4. It's a knock-off of the Law Tactical adapter at $200!!! The ad says it's suitable for AEG and GBB M4s so you thinks it's worth risking the $50? Also, can anyone confirm the KJW email address for replacement parts is still working? I need to get a new CQBR length outer barrel. Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darkstrike Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi guys I'm trying to put an spr grip on my kj m4 do you reckon this one would fit? It's supposed to be for a western arms gun but looks like it could fits kj? I don't know :/ http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/SPR-Grip-For-WA-M4-M16-GBB-Black_A15PMK.aspx#.VkCSSisbirU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunnermaniac Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Are these rifles still going strong guys? Worth a purchase for someone looking for a reliable M4 GBBR? Or are there better alternatives? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Honestly they are still a solid rifle, version 1 and 2 at least and the waffle mags. The newer version 3 and the stanag mags I don't know about but I'd say they are also probably great as well, I don't think they are that different. But I just don't use mine any more! I had mine TDC moded, for the cradle bolt and parts and then never used it more than a couple of times but it's still a great gun. Mags still solid with no leaks. Shoots pretty well, though I havnt range tested it in a while. I moved on to WE and now GHK, both are much more customisable and able to accept real/airsoft parts more readily, you can add aftermarket rails etc to a KJW but its that little bit more difficult. I think the finish of the KJW is more like an airsoft gun, where as more recent M4 GBBr replicas are getting better finishes, materials, after market support etc. It is not to say that the KJW is defunct, it's still solid, it still runs well and is gas efficient, it kicks less than some GBBrs but more than any AEG. I still like mine, it has a special place in my heart as my first successful jaunt into GBBr, though I would sell if anyone wanted it just because I don't use it.
