Nihil_75 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Just to let u guys know: 1. systema V2 reinforced standard ratio gears work in FAMAS. 2. V2 bore-up kits can be used! the V2 cylinder is 3 mm longer then famas stock, but if the cylinder head can be pushed a bit into it it fits with no modding. What does require modding is the cylinder head, since FAMAS tappet-plate is wider then V2 tappet's, u need to grind it so the tappet will fit. And you need to find a bore-up nozzel that fits..

dliberty Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm just about to start ordering parts of my Famas CQB varient and I've been thinking about putting one of those Noveske FirePig flash hiders on the front. I understand I will need the adapter, but I'm a little unsure what else I will need to do; How far does the inner barrel extend out of the end of the AEG? Will it need trimming so it fits inside the Firepig flash hider correctly? I'm looking at using the G36c top rail to replace the original Famas one, (See image) I prefer the look of the G36c rail with a gap between the Famas and rail. But is that possible without the joins being too weak? Image for the flashhider you will have to trim the barrel a bit. the g36 rail will work fine depending on how you put it on, mine is bolted/crazy glued/bondo'ed on and its rock solid.

angel_wings Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Hmm, can't say I'm really up for changing my gears now, I read a post somewhere on here with all the gear ratios and it seems that the Famas stock ones might be lower than the Systema super high speed. But for all you power junkies go ahead! Quick question on spring guides though, anyone got a list of the ones which have a screw hole in the back? Dismemberd I seem to remember you (or someone else maybe) using a blue one? I can't be bothered to be wasting time ordering the wrong one. Ta! Wings EDIT: Oh and by the way I now rate Milliput (the yellow normal one) about a million times better than other modeling things I've tried. Its rock solid and has helped strengthen most of the plastic parts, will probably use some and reduce any creaking I still have.

samuka Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I got my JP Famas F1 today. After I finish my exams i will make some pics, till then a few words. The gun is really solid, the full lower receiver is metal, including the grip, so the it is really heavy, especially compared to the marui one. - regular size short motor, but its axis is shorter. Need some custom work to replace it. - "xyt" chinese gear set - bronze bushings, need to replace them, because they are too flat, proper shimming is quite impossible. The default shimming is horroristic. - brass nozzle. - good wiring - polycarb piston, and piston head, tappet plate and cylinder head. - plastic, marui like spring guide Iam quite happy with it. I will make a hybride Famas G2, with approx 400fps power. I will fit the marui SV with bipod, metal lower receiver, and the longer JP stock part. All I need to do is buying a spring, and bushings.

dliberty Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have some questions about the JP famas: -where did you order this famas from? -does it take tm mags? - if the motor is a regular short motor with a shorter axis it seems like you could change out the motor but keep the same axis right? -a brass air nozle? or do you mean cylinder head?

samuka Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I have some questions about the JP famas: -where did you order this famas from? -does it take tm mags? - if the motor is a regular short motor with a shorter axis it seems like you could change out the motor but keep the same axis right? -a brass air nozle? or do you mean cylinder head? - i bought it from a friend who sold it after 4 day. - yes it takes, Its a bit wobblyer, but holds the mag well. - Well to change the rotating part, you have to get the pinion down. But if you can do this with the new motor, all you need is just to cut the axis and file a bit. So its nothing but a few hours handwork. - it has a brass /or copper/ air nozzle. I have some new infos. I did build my hibrid yesterday. The TM and JP guns are 98% compatible. Only a few unimportant bits, mostly screws are different. The magazine catch's axis is bigger in the TM, the rear sight's, front set's screws are also different. The hopups adjusment winder is a bit different, i couldnt use the TM one in the JP, because it wasnt able to reach the hopups "elevator" part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samuka Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Some more infos, as i spent my day with my famases. The JP famas uses different cylinder, cylinder head and nozzle, they are not interchangeable with the marui. Ive tried all day to put in marui bits, but its total horror, I failed.

Vercingetorix Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Maybe it takes V2 parts? That would be nice now wouldn't it..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 can you get pictures up of this gun? i've never seen one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dismemberd Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Kind of random, but I found this, and it got me thinking... I can't help but be curious... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 seems like itd be a bit unresonable to carry around, but i would still be interesting and unique. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
angel_wings Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 AK mags.....In a FAMAS? Ladies and Gents, I think we just moved from harmless research scientist to a mad psychotic scientist. Odd question but can someone please measure the height of the battery compartment where it connects to the main body? (so the horizontal bit) I need to know the height but as I'm at Uni I can't actually get it! Wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrome Beretta Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Oh man, i really want a Famas right now..... Just a quick question about adding the G36C Rail, when you did it, did you have to get rid of the cocking lever? I'm just thinking of doing some crazy *beep* if i can get ahold of one. i didn't really like this gun that much before, but now its really starting to grow on me.

angel_wings Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yea....Sadly. Although of course you could just shorten it and then angle it to one side and...viola! Annoyed I didn't think of it before I lost all the parts for it Wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Or you could make the rail like the KSK ones and then would it fit under with no mods? Maybe elevate the G36 rail a bit? And then angle it a bit... It would be perfect..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrome Beretta Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Oh really?, you think i could get away with filing it down abit? Either that or i'll think of something even more diabolical... hehe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 it could be done, i had it like that in my first one but didnt feel like going through the work of it with my current (third) one. I had it coming out the side at a 90 degree angle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samuka Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I have great news! Finally i did it I did fit the JP gearbox in my TM Famas. It wasnt an easy ride... First I had to solve the compression problem. The original JP brass nozzle /now i know/ is a bore up one, but badly made, it has no sealing at all. And the biggest problem, it wasnt compatible with the marui hopup chamber, it was to big, didnt fit. I bought a guarder m16 bore up nozzle, i had to use sandpaper inside, it was too tight, but now it has awesome seal, no air leak at all. Compression is perfect. Though its a bore up nozzle, it shoots quite well. All i need now is a stronger spring. Second mission was to fit the JP box into the marui receiver. Compared to the gearbox horror it wasnt a big job, only a few minutes bit dremel work. Now it works like a charm, i have a full replacement gearbox The JP hopup unit is so wide inside, that a marui barrel, with a guarder hopup rubber was wobbling like hell. Horrible. I was trying to fix it with teflon tape, but no use, no compression at all.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i have a bit of an update as well. if you buy a metal spring guide that fits an m4, you can fit it in a famas. they have screw holes in the back that you can use to install it in your bg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Now the only things that really remain are tappet plates and switch assemblies...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 a switch assembly could be replaced quite easily, in theory they do not actually even have to sit inside the gearbox so it is possible to design your own. tapet plates i have yet to fiddle with, im sure i will break one eventually though.

angel_wings Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I was under the impression that any tappet plate could be used as long as you file the front end down to fit the piston head bit Although I haven't checked! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samuka Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) I compared a V3 tappet to the V1. The most significant difference is, that the v1 is much wider, though the length and the shape is good. Other difference is a tappet spring end location, but its not a serious problem. All we need is to find a way to make the v3 wider. I have an idea: using epoxy putty with needle pins. File to shape and use a liter grease The biggest force is on the "sharkfin" part, so I think the epoxy custom sliding part can handle the stress. Edit: Another idea: File down precisely 0.5-0.5mm the upper and lower side, glue on two 0.5mm aluminium plate with the correct measures. Fill the two gaps with putty, and can still use needle pins to strengthen it. Hope you understand my engrish Edited June 7, 2008 by samuka Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 If you want to start a thread detailing the upgrades to your FAMAS then feel free but, even so, it'll be little use without pictures. This, however, is supposed to be a picture thread. Less talk. More Pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Anyone ever seen or tried to do a mod to make their FAMAS like this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
