Batmause Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yes, exactly the same. It is using half-transparent, standard VSR-style hopup rubber. The used hopup rubber is better quality as the WE but it need to replace to a quality one - Modify TAN or AIP or some other quality rubber. The basic problem is that the hopup rubber don't keep the BBs in the chamber, they can fall out easier - that is why the nozzle can break appart easier. Here are few photos about the CO2 valve: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batmause Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Here is the hopup chamber. ..the bolt carrier... ..the nozzle spring after few shoots... ...and the FCG parts as well... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batmause Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Mine was badly assembled that is why the auto-sear spring (which hold the hammer and released by bolt carrier) is not in the right position. The other parts seems to be good and the gun shoot around 420-450 FPS with CO2 - depending on used CO2-cartridge, external temparature, etc. This weekend I'll design an own LFS insert which will reinforce the nozzle-tip and it will decrease the muzzle velocity - maybe today I have time to build the first prototypes.

DarkLite Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Sorry for the lack of updates on the well to we comparison, been unemployed the last few weeks plus family drama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarkLite Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Basic look over: Steel hammer, sear, firing pin. Plastic buffer in the receiver. Non captive recoil spring. I got a gas magazine with mine, which leaks from both the top and bottom valves. However, WE magazines fit and fire. Outer barrel is not steel, unlike the WE. My WELL has an issue with alignment of the gas piston, when it's fully tightened it sits 10degrees low so it rubs against the gas tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Kinda wish I kept my we 74u now. The recoil on green gas was amazing, I would say the kick of co2 is insane!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST19AG_WGreymon Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 What about the trigger box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batmause Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) My WELL has an issue with alignment of the gas piston, when it's fully tightened it sits 10degrees low so it rubs against the gas tube. Place an o-ring between gas piston and the bolt carrier. It will solve your alignment problem - that is why Well filed the end of gas piston. Don't forget to check the nozzle spring, it is always really weak! Trigger box looks like the same as the WE except the addictional steel parts (hammer, firing pin, sear). We have two G74A which is used since last year and the trigger box don't break (any part or the trigger box next to the hammer).

Batmause Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 My WELL trigger box is not steel. Do you mean the casing or the parts? There is only a few parts which is made from steel. This week we got 9 G74A and all of them has steel hammer-sear. The other thing is that the last year series has less steel parts (but the hammer-sear was steel). They has externally less steel as the 2016-series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The other thing is that the last year series has less steel parts (but the hammer-sear was steel). They has externally less steel as the 2016-series. The box is pot metal, the hammer, disconnector and firing pin are steel, as I said before. The only thing I would have said they need to make steel now is the trigger/main sear. Eventually that will break and render the gun totally inoperable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batmause Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 The box is pot metal...blabla... ...blabla..need to make steel now is the trigger/main sear. Eventually that will break and render the gun totally inoperable. The stock trigger box is 8$. Buy 2-3 pieces and you can replace it imediatelly - WE AK is not to complex design, I think it is possible to replace the trigger box on the field to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Batmause Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) And the other thing. The magazine hammer-blocker parts was made from metal, not from plastic. I thing the guy poorly formulated that sentense. He want to say that the trigger box parts made from steel - but just particial, not all parts.

renegadecow Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Or just reinforce the trigger casing with epoxy and never have to worry about it breaking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dimitri MdP Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just received a WE steel CNC hammer. Seems astonishingly good, looks much better than Haphaestus (and is one-piece) and much smoother than RA-Tech's. I'll post pics and some sort of review when installed and tried, but first impressions couldn't be more positive :D 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Norotor Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Just a heads up, I noticed that wii-tech finally added the cnc steel hammer to their web store. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Kinda odd that they didn't mill off the sides where the trigger and sear catch. Added strength maybe? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dimitri MdP Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Really hope WII Tech releases a complete trigger unit. Including the trigger box. Edited November 16, 2016 by Dimitri MdP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dimitri MdP Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi guys,Just stumbled with this at Orga's blog. They have cracked down the problem with WE's AK (metal "7.62", curved style) magazines not feeding properly.It seems to be an issue with the outer shell pressing too hard on the bb channel, and gets easily fixed by dremelling it down. It's quite ironic as the issue is only present in the "improved" batches made this year, previous production magazines didn't have such problemFull explanation in the following link. It's in Japanese, but Google's translation is quite goodhttp://orga.militaryblog.jp/e754442.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Well this blows. Assembling a Zenit AK for a friend only to find out the locking latch for the Asura PT-1 stock doesn't engage when folded. I mean, the lock doesn't even move and is just screwed into place. Had to modify it a bit and add a spring to make it work as intended shown in the locked position below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Seems like Asura is just assembling some of them wrong. The pics at CRW clearly show the latch being free to move down in the locked position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
