akiraspeedstar Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 For that price it ain't bad, I still want one but I need to calm down on the Airsoft purchases haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leshy Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Deal of the Day from Evike $260 USD.... Is this worth it...? The video looks amazing...! IMHO NO, I purchased mine of EBAirsoft for $280 with free postage and it slipped through Spanish customs without charge, so I got an awesome deal. This gun though needs everything replaced, trigger group, bolt catch being the first. It's a fun GBBR from what I read and see but it`'ll easily cost you double in internal upgrades.

icolater Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 You might as well get the ra tech upgraded version, cheaper in the long run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Anyone had an issue with the Ra-Tech real gun function bolt catch? I installed it correctly and I can lock the bolt back with it but when Im shooting with an empty mag the bolt rarely locks back and when it does it goes back as soon as I take the magazine out. Is there a solution to this problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Anyone had an issue with the Ra-Tech real gun function bolt catch? I installed it correctly and I can lock the bolt back with it but when Im shooting with an empty mag the bolt rarely locks back and when it does it goes back as soon as I take the magazine out. Is there a solution to this problem? That's often a symptom of whatever pushes the bolt catch up from the magazine not pushing it up enough; The easiest fix is to add material to the underside of the bolt catch so it gets a more positive engagement with the bolt (generally a bit of credit card superglued in place is a good way of doing it). That's obviously assuming part of the magazine pushes the bolt catch up on empty with the M14, which I'm not familiar with, although I can't imagine how else it'd lock the bolt....

ProfHappyCat Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Bit of a necro post but I needs halps. Finally got a hold of an Ratech EBR, and while it has the steel trigger set it doesn't have the one piece box. So obviously it's splitting. But I found after two skirmishes that the Bo doesn't seat properly (looks like the spring in the EBR stock keeps popping it out. This prevents the bolt from engaging the hammer. I've used electrical tape to hold it together and while it works it looks really tacky. Is it the spring or the box that's causing it to fail, I don't want to buy the one piece box for it not to work (I'm also in the mind of selling her hence the unwillingness to fork out..) (Hopefully this makes sense, I've just finished a nine day marathon at work and had no sleep due to BF4 xD) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calbur20 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Believe me, once you get that one piece triggerbox, your gun will feel like brand new. Mine was giving me troubles until I forked over money for it - the difference in blowback and performance was night and day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProfHappyCat Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 So will that fix the seating issues then? It's currently held solid with cable ties and isn't moving. If it'll fix it I might just have to keep her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhatAreYouBuyen Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Here's my video review of the WE M14 if you guys are interested? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHwr10AZoCU&list=SPqIYZfsuWaDiQs3AdZHhC71kQyy4_Rwtr&index=14Please dont post any hate!

Wingmann Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Back in March 2011 we purchased two of the -back then- lvl2 RA-Tech M14s, which are more like a 2.5 version they no longer make. I traded mine for a classic Escort gun, but the twin was pretty much stored at my buddy's place. Yesterday he sent it to me, and I'm tempted to keep it. In fact I ordered the only RA-T parts that it was missing: nozzle guides, trigger box and trigger spring pin. I'll make a full inspection, install the parts and re-grease, then try the mags with propane. If I'm not happy with the performance I'll probably get some of those HPA nipples. It's been almost 4 years without a GBB rifle... we'll see how this "resurrection" goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 There are more parts, the nozzle I made or the ratech version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4ZOgXx__yY 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll go with the standard one for now and see how that goes. If there's any trouble I'll swap it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Devilhunter man, how's the CO2 mag coming along? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yes Devilhunter! Also interested! Really good work. Any skirmish reports on its use/reliability etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sorry guys, I should had updated you long time ago, but I have been too busy. I finished the first prototype of the mag, using a pistol style output valve (it's easier to make). At first I used a 3.5 mm hole for the outflow but the pressure of the CO2 was too high to open that so the hammer spring hasn't enough force to open it. Then I made another valve, with 2.5 mm hole, that should need the same force than the original gas valve. Now the hammer spring open the valve but the hole is too small and don't give enough flow to fully cycle the gun. So now I'm making the second prototype, which will use GHK style valves. The GHK valves allows more gas to flow, being pretty easy to open. On the other hand, they must be made with better tolerances since they tend to leak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Quick update: already finished the V2 body of the mag. It's not perfect but should work. Today I made the GHK style valve body but the inner hole got overbore because of the chips rubbing. Will try again tomorrow. My main problem right now (without taking into account that I need a better mil) is that since my lips are broken, the gas route may bend because of the gas pressure when shooting and leak, so no test will be valid until I get new lips. I'm also thinking in a short style mag, but first get a functional prototype. Edited April 20, 2015 by DEVILHUNTER 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Oooh 3 tubes...what's the weight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Since it's almost all aluminium it weights about 450g with the steel shell. Almost the same as the most lightweight GBBR mag I know, the GHK M4 one. I calculate it will take about 50g of CO2. Edited April 20, 2015 by DEVILHUNTER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brigg Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Looks great dude! Is that cnc'd or is that manual machining? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks guys! It's both, some parts are CNC and others I made them in manual machines. You can see the complete prototype in video here: http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/215004-we-m14-co2-mag-prototype/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Overloaded a mag and broke a nozzle guide or a nozzle. Can't get the recoil spring guide rod pin out to take it down and replace it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Any pic or part number of what exactly you can't get out? If it's part 38, you can unscrew part 145 with an 1/20 (1.27mm) allen key, and then part 38 can slide out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 It has to be that, the video I watch said I don't have to take it out and do not show it. The pin goes all the way to one side and stops. I can do this from side to side and it won't come out. Is the video I used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 The g36 and m14 feed lips are close. The front is slightly different, not possible to use on the m14 is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
