judgeman Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 has anyone tried any nifty modding yet with the WE hi-power? Debating super future projects of trying to mod mine into some sort of demi-type III Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I was googling around and saw this: King Arms Fal. Decided to buy it since the price was right and it's a fairly rare gun these days, especially the full length version. It's going to be my DMR, I've already changed all the internals and put in a SP140 spring. There was actually a piece missing from the gun, some sort of a fake gas piston that according to the manual should be inside the gas tube. Obviously it's a totally superfluous part, but I'd still like to have it. The store that sold it to me have told me to contact KA directly, not really leaving me with a great impression of themselves. Personally I feel that if you sell someone a product that's incomplete, then you should compensate them somehow even if it's not really your fault. Otherwise I'm quite pleased, it's a solid gun except for the squeaky foregrip, but I've already ordered a RS replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 rs foregrips should be a near drop-in fit, mine where. Good luck man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 That's good to know, thanks! It looked like a close enough fit that I decided to take a change on it. I should find out for sure by Wednesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) An update on my FAL. The STG-58 foregrip arrived and was nearly a drop-in fit like Judgeman said. I also did some work on the lower receiver. I was annoyed by King Arms' choice to cast every single detail on it: The body pins were alright, but the fake locking lever did it for me. I milled of everything I found offensive: Then I made my own bits of flair from steel and blued them: A vast improvement I'd say.

PianoBlack Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I agree! The locking lever, despite being cosmetic, looks vastly better now. On a related note, my G&P ACOG is on it's way after spending a week in the New York USPS sorting facility. Let's hope customs didn't take anything.

Yuri Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks guys! After making the locking lever I discovered why the vertical lever that you'd find on an L1A1 for example is much more common on different FAL variants. The knob on the horizontal version gets a little in the way when you try to operate the fire selector. I decided to stick with the horizontal style lever since this way it covers up the part of the receiver that I milled and I don't have to paint anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 The G&P ACOG arrived today after spending a week at the New York Customs depot (really strange as I'm on the other coast and normally Alaska or California is where the package is routed). I'm extremely pleased with the end result. There's some wobble between the upper and lower receivers, but that's normal as the screw that holds on the plastic stock normally tightens this up. It doesn't affect accuracy though and I don't really notice it. I purchased a SAAV, which I modified by cutting out the dividers so I can use it with the 7.62mm magazines and it holds them really well. Cheers and enjoy, Piano 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 It should be noted, for those interested in adding a little flair to their FAL's where it is legal, that DSA RS Flashiders were (at least on mine) a direct fit with no alterations needed. DSA rear sights will fit as well with a little bit of fileing. I've yet to attach a rs stock to mine, but that will be an eventuality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PianoBlack Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Very cool. What sight is that? It's always nice to see FALs and their derivatives in this thread. Cheers, Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites

judgeman Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 So question. I'm going through a phase of 1911 and Hi-Power obsession and was debating picking up another WE for a cheap custom project down the line. How hollow is the slide up near the mounting points of the artillery sight? I was debating a bit of auto-body filler, some sanding and paint and possibly a Mk III rear sight. Any advice?

Keket Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Where did you pick that up mate? is that one of the JG/echo 1 FAL's or a king arms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 classic army makes them in that variant too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 looks like it has DSA markings, so I would bet CA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MICYW Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Please, I beg you please change it to a Magpul CTR stock so I don't feel as sick like I'am feeling right now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Aye, it is the CA version, it;'s got a maruzen red-dot ACOG on top, very nice fit and finish on the ACOG actually, made a few external tweaks to it and changed a few cheesy internals but otherwise it's a solid performer, albeit I'd kill for the long mags in mid-cap form, 1000rnds is a little much for CQB. Other than that it is just an insanely cool looking gun And has go faster stripes/scratches Quote Link to post Share on other sites
