Shroker Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ouch. .I look forward to getting my adapter (or borrowing one) to run some tests here. Around 10C still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Theme57 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Shoo, for a minute I thought we lost Raven1, but very terrible news indeed on your friend T_Hum. I look forward to your guys products. Saw the speedloader and only concern is how do we know when our mags are at a safe capacity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t_hum Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 In testing I found two methods work and work well in conjunction. Â Figure out how many BBs per stroke your loader feeds. Â On the final strokes pay attention to resistance. Â I can fill the mag pretty easily. Seems like it gives less resistance than with the stock loader. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shroker Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Less resistance sounds nice. Look forward to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saberwing Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Has anybody had problems with the trigger not re-setting while in semi? I've had this problem since I got the gun, and it's been persistent throughout 3 different lower receivers... Basically when I fire a shot in semi, the trigger sticks back and I won't be able to fire again until I push it forward. Â Here are some pictures of my M4 for your enjoyment: Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) well my v1+ bolt, TDC hop, and madbull 6.03 barrel has me hitting man sized targets at 260ft with .28g BBs at 1.5J, its roughly 50F outside and that was for 90rds. Â I was actually able to hit a small twig at max effective range 8/10 times. Â On another note, my v2 bolt misfeeds every time I use it now.... and two mags I have leak at the gasket that joins the upper and lower halves. Â Anyone have any suggestions for fixing those leaks?

Â Anyone have any suggestions for fixing those leaks? 2 of mine were doing the same thing, so I took them all apart, cleaned the o-rings, and used the blue gasket method to seal the joints of all 6 of my magazines.

weekenny Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Those gaskets are easy mate strip and clean gasket and mag assemble with plenty of the thick silicon lube (stuff that is almost solid) packed round the gasket. Â I'd avoid any of the methods using instant gasket as it causes all kinds of bother if it gets anywhere it shouldn't. When your mags were new they sealed so worst case new gaskets will fix them, there is no need for using stuff like in that link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cj Radge Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Still preforms pretty decent in the cold. I managed to get a full mag out at 350 FPS +/- 5-8 with .25s on the V2 bolt (stock internals). in 3C ambient temperature. Dunno about East side Canada cold though ha.  @Johnyew: Ya know what. I thought the same too. OOPS HAHAHAHA. But yes; That was my intended thought originally. I thought it was on discount sale myself hahaha. *Hopes shattered* lol.  Internals are nicely lubed and greased up. Minus the hop-up and barrel of course. Can't wait to do some range tests.  I come from a PB background playing mag-fed and limited ammo (I still play) and used to shoot airguns competively. This is my first gun for Airsoft.  Never really liked the feel of AEG's and GBBR's had various issues. The TK M4 really does seem to be the starting step to properly designing a gas operated system.  I love the Thermold mags. Its like a pmag but not and its not like s a STANMAG haha.  I am looking forward to running some HSGI Tacos for these puppies. Now to get an ASAP plate on....anyone know if they need anything changed/added?  If I remmeber correctly there are two verisons of Magpls line of stuff and someone in the early parts of this thread needed to add an internal spacer so it won't wobble. See my signature for Magpul ASAP installation instruction for KJW. Goodluck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Ok that's what I was planning on doing, just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better method out there. Â Â Also anyone tested out the velocity reducer spacers on the v1+, wondering what combo seems to get around 1j without having to disassemble the bolt multiple times.

weekenny Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's the same piston and cup as a V1 so the same as a regular V1 I'd say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 ok I'll dig back through the thread and look for results from the v1, I shoulda thought of that.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hut you and I need to get together at some point and compare notes. Â Where in NC are you?

Paul202 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Okay, sorry for my bookish questions, but I need some help. I plan to buy this gun from UNCompany here: http://www.uncompany.com/pageproductdetails.asp?prodid=25261 However, I am wondering what upgrades it will need and if it is possible to easily switch between different barrel and stock types. The first version of the gun I plan to make is like the one here: However, I have a fairly long backyard that would be awesome for long range target shooting, so I would also like to make a DMR/Sniper build, kind of like the looks of an SR-25. Has anyone on these forums done that kind of thing? I plan to look through this thread, however it is over 250 pages and I have other things like school. If someone would be so kind, could they please tell me what I need to get to make a KJW M4 like the ones pictured above? Edited January 13, 2013 by Paul202 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you mean you want a KJW m4 to look like the picture you've posted I'm afraid you'll struggle to get a 100% match as no company produced any aftermarket receivers. Â You can fit that type of rail. You can fit hat type of stock. You can probably fit the MAID pistol grip. Certain BAD's will work, some with modification. An ASAP can be modified to fit though I believe it isn't simple... All the rest is cosmetic and bits can be added as normal. Hope that helps, search this thread or advice on specific item fitting.

Paul202 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) ^Okay, I understand that I won't be able to get a 100% match, however hopefully I can get a 90% lookalike. Are you able to ID the parts on the gun? And is it better to buy actual Magpul PTS parts or is it better to buy Chinese clones?

weekenny Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 It's possible to get any G&P front end and modify it to fit so you can make look-a-likes of any of there range. There is everything from sniper builds to tanks in this thread. Â Magpul parts - CTR stock, BAD lever, MOE grip, AFG. Â Troy parts - 12" Rail, flip up sights. Â That should get something similar.
