Basic-Wedge Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I received an answer back from RA-Tech, regarding my question about the possibility of seeing a steel G39 bolt carrier: "Dear Rob, Thank you for emailing us. We are not yet be able to produce G39 bolt carrier as the producing line is pretty busy with a few kind of new products. You know that WE just released their AK. Please keep an eye on our website for the news release. Best regards, Erica RA-TECH" I don't know what to read into that, but it doesn't sound like we should expect to see it anyime soon.

Reppyboyo Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I still find it strange that one of the most popular WE systems isnt getting a steel bolt. Shame really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mnmc10 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 does it really need a steel bolt upgrade? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reppyboyo Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 If you use their steel trigger set yes, as it eats into the stock bolt. Otherwise no, not really but additional felt recoil would be nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't know what to read into that, but it doesn't sound like we should expect to see it anyime soon. Johnny told me the prototype is there, they just don't know if its profitable to market it. He says at the earliest (if there's enough demand) Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Does anyone know where you can get the high flow bolt/ nozzle other than evike, e.g. preferably somewhere UK basd? I tried a search but havn't found owt yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 cwiairsoft in Taiwan is the only other known alternative to evike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Try Tactical Quartermaster they are/were a WE stockist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Cheers They didn't have a high flow in but I got a standard as a spare. I ve found with the NPAS and shaving down the nozzle tangs to approx 1.9mm that tphe fps is a little variable, ranging from 290 fps to 340 fps. I though best get a spare in case I was hoping with a hihgh flow i could just drop it in with the npas. (i don't have a mmilling machine tomget to 1.82mm ) The two tangs were 3 mm as standard and i couldn 't get above 220 fps with the npas ( although the chrono did measure the propane exiting at 1438 fps once) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redneck123 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 So, heres the plan with the steelbolt. Everybody should contact RA-Tech, so that they see it is necessary to develope one....problem solved! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redneck123 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I hope i dont get punished for double post, but its necessary! Everybody, who got an FB account should go on the RA site and push like on Henning Deutsch's post.....yes thats me...yes i'm manly and on the otherhand cute and handsome! So we can push RA-Tech to the limit and beyond! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bbstriker Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Seems the search function does not work properly. Can someone please point me in the direction of s guide to install the RA-Tech NPAS on the G39C? Thanks Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 The other option is do as per m14, which is pretty much the same with the exception of shaving down the final tangs to 1.84 mm rather than chopping them off and cutting groves. I sanded mine from 3mm or so to 1.9 mm and that gave me and adjustable range from 260 fps up to about 370 at room temperature, which is fine. You could try that first then cut down to the linked article if it doesn't suit you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bbstriker Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Thank you guys. Very much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Unless you're want a 400fps compact version DO NOT SHAVE THE NOZZLE They will allow the fps to be excessively high my custom RA-Tech G39E shoots 650 fps @ 25C when the NPAS is set highest (lowest fps possible was 450) Using a new nozzle without shaving the fps is 350-475 @ 25C much more acceptable.

Basic-Wedge Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Kullwarrior, did you ever try my little trick of dropping a rubber O-ring in on top of the NPAS? On my "Canadian market version" G39, that neatly shaves 100+ fps off the velocity. The size of O-ring needed is the same as the one WE uses in the base of their BB loaders. While I'm posting in... VFC has introduced a airsoft replica of the German LLM01 Laser Light Module for their G36. They also offer a short section of rail to allow mounting the light on the side of any G36/39 top rail. You can probably get these accessories at many retailers, but I've seen it on WGC's website. The light goes for $89 USD, the rail goes for $13 USD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You never told me how its done so no Picture helps alot as words don't translate to picture for me unfortunately. Also for the LLM01 Element is releasing its clone coming soon see their facebook page Edited October 16, 2011 by kullwarrior Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Basic-Wedge Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Kullwarrior, no problem. Next time I tear down my G39, I'll make sure to take a photo of my O-ring mod. For anyone else dealing with overly high velocities, all I do is install the NPAS, seat the O-ring on top of it - seated flat, then reassemble the bolt. The O-ring mod works perfectly well, but you could also use some type of adhesive material applied to the flat surface of the NPAS valve. The whole idea is to prevent the NPAS from opening fully. Anything placed between the NPAS valve and the two lugs/prongs on the rear bolt half will do the job. The thickness of the object determines the effect on fps. Keep in mind, my mod is intended for rifles which shoot too hot. Kullwarrior's rifle is a custom version from RA-Tech, and mine is a special model from WE intended for sale only in the Canadian market. Each shoots hotter than standard G39s from WE. I had heard Element plans to also introduce a version of the LLM01 tactical light. Their website suggests it's still a month away from going on sale. I don't know much about Element. How do their products general rank compared to VFC of other airsoft brands? Edited October 16, 2011 by Basic-Wedge Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would I need a new nozzle? What new nozzle would I need- assuming it's different from the stock nozzle? I would certainly prefer not to shave the nozzle.

Basic-Wedge Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 When he wrote "new" nozzle, I believe Kullwarrior was referring to a stock/unmodified nozzle, such as the type included in standard model WE G39s. At least, that's how I interpret his meaning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redneck123 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hey there folks, I've got a problem with part #24 (the crescent shaped part to adjust the hop up), its broken an i need a new one. Can anybody provide me a source to buy it? Best regards Henning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Besides potential CWI Airsoft I don't see anyone selling that piece Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Basic-Wedge Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 You may have to contact WE at www.weairsoft.com directly for that part. How did it break Henning? I would more expect the tongue of the lever arm (part #?) to break, rather than the grooved part #24... If that were to happen with my G39, I'm not sure I'd even notice. I always have to dial my hop up to the full off position to avoid overhop issues. Even with an RA-Tech bucking and a Shredder concave nub, I still get more hop up than I want.

Redneck123 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hey Basic, sorry for my late answer on your question. So, while i was disassembling my hop-up unit to wrap some teflon-tape around it, i just thought by my self that it would be better to add a H-shaped hopup bucking to the RA Tech rubber. When i finished the wrapping, i was going to reassamble the hole hop up. I tried to stick the hole chamber into this massive block part # 27...then certainly it got stuck and was not fitting well. I just thought with my gross motor skills: "if force doesnt help you just use brute force instead". While i was trying to push it inside, part #23 was grooving the *suitcase* out of part#24. Now it is nothing left than a worthless piece of plastic... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
