Landa Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 is this bolt actually made by RA tech? http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search=special&rs=KJ%20Works&item=RAT-AT-G-KJ011 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Theme57 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) is this bolt actually made by RA tech? http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search=special&rs=KJ%20Works&item=RAT-AT-G-KJ011 Â I doubt it. Probably a stock V2 bolt with the velocity reducer or something in it. If not they probably just got it wrong. Although it the bolt was designed by RA-Tech I can see why its failing so much... Â I still think it was a really bad call for KJW to change the bolt and magazine contents. At least cradle will have a nice bolt up soon. Even if the bolt was 80usd I would buy one if I got a V2 KJW M4 (I am not trying to jinx everyone haha) Edited August 22, 2012 by Theme57 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delarosa Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Okay so after several days of delay I managed to finish the mods for my KJW  TDC Mod  Looking good, but haent test it yet in the field. Took me days to find someone willing to do it, as I dont have the required tools. Hope its worth it, Thanks to weekeny for the help on the tutorial Very much appreciated.  Magpul ASAP  Saw the tutorial on here the other day (sorry I forgot who posted it but thank you so much!) Turns out finding a washer ring is very hard in my country, still didnt get one, so I swaped it with a teflon ring painted black. Took it from my couch's legs and cut it, so far looking good although its far thicker than a washer ring, I still would like to find a washer ring though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Looks good happy I could help. Â Should work well. I use some PTFE thread tape on mine to make sure it doesn't work loose. Prevously I used a small amout of locktite but the tape works just as well and no risk of using too much and seizing the screw. I've also now got proper grub screw rather than a cut down one. The grub screws are described as "dog point" this means that the last few mm are not threaded (slightly narrowed dia). There ideal if you can source them. Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weekenny Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Um 2 or 3 just go by feel as it will depend on the tollerance between the screw and the cut in thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 If anyone has a cheap or broken M4 they want to get rid of I'm looking for a new upper to do a mk18 10.5 inch conversion on, and to also play around with the hop-up a bit and see if I can't get some form of R-hop functional in it. PM me if you do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) sorry bud I don't need any more mags, but I'm sure some people here would be interested, post a WTS add and I'm sure they'll be gone before you know it!

Â Got it thanks, will post the results after I test the TDC mod and the tape. Currently seeking for the grub screws you mention as it might be safer to use it with the tape. Mine is still the cut down one, wouldnt want to break it if I wrap around with the tape too much. Anybody know where I can get the washer ring mentioned in the Magpul ASAP videos? Try to go to a car parts store but couldnt find it, motorcycle as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcc-dano Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Has anyone looked into shaving down the lower ridges on the magazine body? I'm looking to use shorty KYWI pouches for mine but I both am not sure if they'll fit with the thermold ridges and I hate how they look. On first inspection the mag body doesn't seem to need them to maintain its integrity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Dnt know about the ridges but I run mine in Esstac kywi pouches, full size and short, and they fit and hold fine. The full size ones are a bit tight but just means they are even more secure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 The gas seals are well inside the walls of the mag, the ridges do nothing for sealing. However the do over lap the joints and probably help keep the mags so sturdy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 The mags fit in KyWIs just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For those who cannot find a washer, they can just sand down the inner buffer tube, 1mm is good enough . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slipknot1971 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hello friends, I'm thinking in buying a UBR stock for my rifle and I don't know if it fits the buffer tube of the KJW....Anyone knows if it's possible?...I know there's two types of it, AEG and GBBR but, the GBBR i've found, always are for WA...and that's my point of doubt...any help would be really appreciated!...thanks!

frogfish Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I believe there is discussion somewhere in this thread of using the AEG version due to the internal tube in the buffertube, do a search and you may find more info. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cj Radge Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 @ Shabby. the inner barrel is modified AEG Prometheus 6.03mm diameter/ 510mm lenght barrel. I am yet to test it hehehe, There are many things to consider to make this a performer sniper rifle... from the quality of inner barrel mod to increasing the power source to compensate the lenght of the barrel. It can be done by either using more powerful gas or stronger hammer spring. Hope this performs well, if all efforts are exhuasted and does not perform the way I want it, this project will be scratched. Let's see. =) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
