Arion Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Lambolurker: I love your SR. Or it might be the red velvety thingy behind it that brings out the all the black of your black rifle. Here be some of mine: USCMCorps: when stippling VFC rail panels, everything went fine. When I tried doing the same to genuine KAC panels, the plastic was very hard to melt and when it did, it stuck in fat blobs to my soldering iron. It made quite a mess of everything. What's the secret to this? You need some kind of special Costa-approval so that the KAC panels let themselves be textured? T_T Link to post Share on other sites
Reincarnation... Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 when stippling VFC rail panels, everything went fine. When I tried doing the same to genuine KAC panels, the plastic was very hard to melt and when it did, it stuck in fat blobs to my soldering iron. It made quite a mess of everything. What's the secret to this? You need some kind of special Costa-approval so that the KAC panels let themselves be textured? T_T No surprise really. VFC panels were made for airsoft while the KAC panels were made to stand up to the heat of a barrel of a rifle. Try a soldering iron that is hotter than the one you currently are using, that may do the trick. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 What Reincarnation said. I wait till my soldering iron is pretty hot before I start using it. The stippling goes pretty fast when the iron is hot. You might also want to buy some spare tips and modify them for stippling. I took one of my spare tips and rounded the tip producing really nice simple dimples. Link to post Share on other sites

Fellowz Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 man i wish they didnt stop making SR47 kits i really wanted to see how one would look with a V.I.S or URX front end on it. with those new MAGPUL AK mags. Link to post Share on other sites
Arion Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Ion: niiiice. This is the GBB-R I always wanted to build. Though you have to admit you cheaped out on us: where am KAC Prime kit? So, intending to pimp it up a bit (at least ambi-controls!)? Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 If you donate the URX I'll happily fit it Link to post Share on other sites

So, intending to pimp it up a bit (at least ambi-controls!)? Thanks man. Haha, I do intend on ambi controls, at lease the selector switch. I want to finish getting the gun where I want it performance wise before I start more external stuff. Its become a money pit already and I've only had it for a week. I would love a Prime kit, so expensive though, and it has RS threads I believe, so the URX wouldn't fix to my knowledge. But the Prime kit is awesome for sure. I wouldn't mind having that. Although I'm not sure I'd ever use my gun with a Prime body on it. Edited April 8, 2010 by Ion Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 If you donate the URX I'll happily fit it i would but its kinda stuck onto my AR upper at the mo im looking to get a new upper for my project. Link to post Share on other sites
Arion Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Ion: Prime WA kits are definitely skirmishable. I doubt that they're anodinized like the real deal, but the finish is still pretty powerful. It will hold up a LOT of abuse. Just don't use the receiver as a mallet for banging on rocks and it should be fine. Talking about receiver finish, I'm dead impressed by my VFC SR15E3IWS. I banged it everywhere on the course of multple skirmishes, and the receiver is still brand new looking (though dirty)! Way tougher than G&P stuff that scratch by just looking at the thing sideways.

I'd run around with a pillow to throw down in front of the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 it has RS threads I believe, so the URX wouldn't fix to my knowledge. But the Prime kit is awesome for sure. I have the Prime kit fitted with a G&P URX and its fine. Link to post Share on other sites

slu Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 My SR16, soon to have the stock replaced with an ACE stock when the lipos arrive Is that a Marui SR? Awesome! Looks like you kept it mostly stock too. Brings back many memories. I think we can tell from this thread that VFC has successfully commoditized the super-accurate KAC look. I remember 5 or so years back, when Marui was still king and before the SPR craze, they were the first people to start making replicas of KAC rails, and anyone who wanted a KAC had to assemble it themselves, maybe even splurge for a real KAC rail. Nowadays, it seems like everyone and their mother has an SR15 IWS. Link to post Share on other sites

Billy Bob the Sniper Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Well I did some shuffling around on my real AR so, the T1 got to come off for a bit. Yeah Yeah Yeah... I know that the QDSS is a NT4, but I cant find a NT3 one for the PDW. Heres my Mk11 I am going to replace the PAQ-4 with a PEQ15 soon. And toss on some iron sights.

slu Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) I don't know if you guys know: Does VFC sell the triple tap brake that comes with the PDW separately? Also, I remember there was some discussion on this, but how have you guys managed to strip the finish and polish your TTBs? Edited April 15, 2010 by slu Link to post Share on other sites

However you could always check out the G&P or King Arms version. I believe they retail for around $25 and are very solid. Redwolf and WGCshop both carries them. -Shin Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I don't believe VFC sells the TTB separately. They currently only offer it on their PDW and VFC Combat Master. Link to post Share on other sites
