Ivan le Fou Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Oh, I see some people are now putting SCAR H flash hiders on their ARs. You damn copy cats! Link to post Share on other sites
j3T Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) I have tried that, but it doesn't feel good if any closer to the front end. It's pretty comfortable as it is. I'm not saying it's a good shooting position if it were a real SR, but it's good as is. Not sure why I like it that close, I have normal length arms and all that :/ Oh, I see some people are now putting SCAR H flash hiders on their ARs. You damn copy cats! Hey hey, it's a free market out there. I'm allowed to buy one Edited February 11, 2010 by j3T Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Maybe this is the schism between how I run my real guns, vs airsoft. But you're not directly looking for COMFORT, you're looking for the most POSITIVE control you can attain on the rifle. You don't walk around driving your rifle out all the time, so it's not like you need it to be comfortable 100 percent of the time. Maybe it really doesn't work for you, but from experience I'd maybe split the difference and move it forward a bit more, otherwise you're relegating that nice long rail to what amounts to a 7" carbine rail with everything pushed back.

ThaFlash Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 If your out to a game for 8 hours or more a day, that gun can get pretty uncomfortable to hold in the most accurate position all the time. You'll see many videos of soldiers in the battlefield holding their guns as close to the center of gravity as possible because due to comfort issues of prolonged battle. But that AFG was designed for positive control with you supporting hand out in front of you. I'm not saying remove it, but I find that if I'm holding the rifle that close to the magwell it's more comfortable to have my hand more vertical (doing that would also keep your supporting arm clear of the magazine). But then again that ACS does increase length quite a bit so it could work better. I normally keep my stock pretty collapsed and I use a standard CAR stock because it's shorter and I prefer a more tight in position. But this is airsoft, go with what you're most comfortable with, or with what you just like the best. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a real russian PK-23. I prefer it over Aimpoints as it has a pulsating dot, makes it easier to see. Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlesticks4220 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Initial observations: * The VFC seem lighter than my G&P AR/M4 guns. That is because of the quality of the metal, and the fact G&P's AR's are pot metal. Link to post Share on other sites

BFOUR Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 When I got my M16A2 from ebaybanned customs opened my package and inside was a note saying that they altered the screw head holding the orange barrel inplace so that it could not be removed. Something along those lines. But Its nothing a 5/32 bit couldnt solve. Link to post Share on other sites
08kecarv Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 @GhostSniper: Your front flip up sight is backwards fyi. Some new pics; I added a MIAD and an M3 light for practicality and I just got the Surefire yesterday I love new toys :D Oh and don't mind the plate on the MIAD, when I bought it the person failed to tell me that it didn't come with one so I had to make do. Some artistic action going on too: Link to post Share on other sites

08kecarv Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 And MIADs don't come with the bottom plate? Or did you buy secondhand. Got it secondhand. The seller neglected to mention it lacked the bottom plate and I assumed it had it cause it looked like it did in the pic. Oh well, may not look the best but it works.

After taking a blowtorch to me we scar one, i still can't get it off. And MIADs don't come with the bottom plate? Or did you buy secondhand. Use a gas stove and a wrench or a screwdriver. That's how i got mine off my WE M4, which i blue loc-tighted. Edit: Wait, did WE pin your flash hider? My stock one wasn't pinned or loc-tited. There wasn't even a screw to prevent it from undoing itself. The only reason i loc-tighted it was because it kept loosening itself. Listen to Stealthbomber. Sorry for the confusion.

To address the chain of posts that led to this, if your f/h is held on by a grub screw then you definitely DO NOT want to simply removing using force with a wrench. At best you'll chew up the 14mm thread on the muzzle and, at worst, you'll bend or snap something. If somebody's damaged the head of the grub screw so it can't be removed you can try drilling it out but, frankly, it's likely that the grub screw will be the hardest metal anywhere on your gun. In that case I'd accept that the f/h is "sacrificial" and just attack the grub screw with a dremel cutting disk, cut several slots through the f/h and grub screw until the grub screw disintegrates and then just remove the hacked f/h and replace it.

I just spent 30mins trying to drill freakin grub screw and I must agree it seemed like the hardest metal on the gun. Time to bust out the Dremel - should've started with it anyway. @BFOUR: Considering that customs opened my package, I am now thinking they destroyed the screw head holding the plastic FH on my gun.

MS3 Race Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 In regards to the stripped screw, try putting a thin rubber band over the screw, then using the tool to remove. The rubber band should fill the void that was stripped, thus rendering the tool not completely useless. Link to post Share on other sites
lambolurker Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 To lambolurker- it didn't come with a Knights flash hider? Damn. It did come with the KAC TTB FH. I'm actually thinking about getting it chromed. I've made a couple phone calls yesterday but the shops requires a minimum volume before they take on a job. ANother option I'm considering is spray paint it with chrome, probably not gonna get the best result. I can't seem to find a chromed version for AEG. Link to post Share on other sites
BFOUR Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 After I drilled my grub screw out, which seemed to be an easier time then some of you are having lol, the FH was still held on tight so i took a heat gun to it and just wiggled it off. Worked pretty well. Link to post Share on other sites

I heard the Evike ones came with red loctite, and I have had experience with red loctite, but this is like removing solid welding I hate to take up any more of this forums space, so I'll continue this through PM.

I wonder if this action by customs is dependant on the retailer. Where did you buy from? And why would any trades be covered? Isn't VFC completely licensed Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlesticks4220 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I doubt VFC is licensed...haha........... Looks like that gun came from WGC shop. If customs did that, LMFAO... Kinda a good thing, they could have seized you gun. Link to post Share on other sites
