PianoBlack Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 For those with a VFC Mk16 or 17, how much does the ELGM affect the balance of the AEG? -Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
validtumoralarm Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's really not that bad. My biggest gripe is the way that it brings my grip down away from the barrel. Balance-wise, I barely notice a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks, it's been a while since I handled one and was trying to decide if I wanted a ELGM for the Mk16/17. -Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Interficium Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 For those with a VFC Mk16 or 17, how much does the ELGM affect the balance of the AEG? -Piano It seems extremely front heavy if you're handling it in the house and trying to see how long you can stay on bore, etc. In an actual game situation when you have adernaline to help you out it's no problem though.

hardboiledcop Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Anyone here ever tried any kind of artificial wear of their scar? My TM's lower reciever is looking very toy-like atm as the plastic has gone shiny in parts.. Would also like to know if anyone has tried fitting one of these http://airsoft-club.com/shop/magazine/magazine-accessories/tactical-magazine-well-grip-for-m4-m16-magwell-black Cheers.

stewpidbear Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I did try to fit the magwell grip (used to fit on my dboys scar) but it needed a lot of dremeling, and in some places the polymer would have been too thin for practical use. Mine was a rs FAB one, not the acm copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Anyone here ever tried any kind of artificial wear of their scar? Cheers. You mean like these? You'll need the stock extension (~2inches) plus the other extension. This is 16 inches Yes I have the PWS extension, it ran about $200 if memory severs and is not exactly drop in. I also have an EGLM and used to run it like this By stock extension I mean the barrel extension that will come with your SCAR, it is roughly 2 inches long, then add on the 14.5 inch extension and you'll be at ~16 inches. Just remember a FH isn't factored into barrel length for military weapons. The VFC long extension is for 18 inches, but WE's 14.5 extension will also fit the SCAR-H.

hardboiledcop Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 that looks fantastic, however I dont think the Black version would work out so well, I should have mentioned that's the version I meant. The pistol grip (expected) and the front of the lower reciever have gone very shiny from wear, I'm trying to think of a way to cover/fix this.. cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 So you're looking to cover your rifle's natural wear with some artificial wear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Sounds rediculous, but we all know the quality of TM plastic and how it can quickly turn from tacticool to Fisher Price in a moment. My other option was to install a magwell grip but it seems that would be difficult to implement and might not work too well.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shift Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 This may be a bad idea, but try a little rubbing alcohol. it actually won't clean the oil from the plastic, it'll take a thin layer of plastic off. At least, that's what happened on my G&G when it got shiny and I tried removing it. I'm not sure how TM plastic might react to alcohol, so be really careful. I say this information more as observation than as actual advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Stipple it maybe? Since its where your hand grips anyway, adding texture is a good idea.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Holding a Scar by the magwell is going to put your thumb in the way of the charging handle if it's big enough, which is going to hurt on the real one and potentially the GBB ones as well. And nice scar Kalmah Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And nice scar Kalmah Oh yeah.....you have no idea how much that thing hurts if you manage to stick a thumb near it on the WE SCAR OB Did that once when I bought the SCAR since all of my airsoft guns don't have a "thumb-breaker" near the front of the receiver.....quickly and painfully learned to not to that again XD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is the blowback action that strong? Sounds great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intinerious Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is the blowback action that strong? Sounds great. Well I don't think it's THAT strong. Honestly I can't tell because I can't shoot real steel over here and I haven't shot my SCAR for some time now But if you do manage to get a thumb caught on the charging handle it'll hurt or at least sting. Especially if you didn't cut your nails down enough and it catches where the fingernail and thumb meets. The bolt moves way faster than the real steel one too; I think the stock SCAR averages about 16-18 rps? Considering there's about 7.5cm of length for the bolt to pull back, the speed at which the charging handle moves (taking an average of 17 rps) = (7.5*2)*17 = 255 cm/s = 2.55 m/s.....dunno if that value can give you any idea of how fast the charging handle moves (I suck at estimating speed ) but from first hand (or thumb, if you will) experience it hurts like a *badgeress* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalmar Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The WE SCAR bolt does not reciprocate the full length as on the real weapon, I'd say about 3/4 the distance at most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
