RacingManiac Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 To be fair my KJW based G19 with mostly guarder parts(but still KJW hop-up and barrel as well as all the gas bits) are shooting where I aimed....This CZ is really the first GBB I owned that is shooting noticeably off from the sight...

razgriz31m Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 How's the finish? is it realistic as pictured? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Decent. You can tell its painted, but its not bad quality, not very glassy. Its not really the plated/blued look that you'd expect a real steel pistol looks, nor is it the anodized look that you see on maybe the Nova/PGC/SD kitted GBB pistol.. But Its not bad. Better than the cheap TW slide that some KSC Taiwan gun comes with, and better than say the pot metal frame finish like you find on stock TM Hi-Capa 5.1's mid frame.

BigAl Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Don't forget real CZ's had a horrible paint job too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just ordered this from ehobby and I'm expecting that i'll get the same finish you got as pictured. Did they still use pot metal zinc on this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 The pot metal bits are a lot more obvious inside for the inner support structure around the hammer mechanism and the BBU and the trigger/trigger support. They painted the outside with the inner bits out, a slight bit of overspray can be seen in this pic at the front of the trigger assembly: http://www.pbase.com/racingmaniac/image/147419471 I think the frame/slide are actually aluminum, probably cast.....painted after. Wouldn't be surprise if its the same stuff as the barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
razgriz31m Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Good to here that. That's a tad better than what the chinese clones use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
razgriz31m Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Just talked to Eddie of Kjw, and yeap, slide is Aluminum but frame is Zinc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vuddha Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Good review, and the trades make it seem much more authentic. Trademarks that are well executed are always a huge plus. I' going through a huge ordeal in getting a properly marked USP TACTICAL, but so far my efforts are fruitless. -Vu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Just wondering do you know what the is finish like compared to the ksc cz metal version (tawain). Cheers Edited January 7, 2013 by icolater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Just bought the Ratech steel barrel but now I can't figure out how to separate inner & outer barrel. Anybody knows how to? - Help appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 You need to carefully tap out the cross bar running through the hop-up unit, then the unit and barrel will slide out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) That was quick will try direct. Thanks a lot Edited January 9, 2013 by Obitwo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I have now installed the RaTech steel barrel, however the outer barrel wobble is just as bad as earlier. Does anyone recognize this and have a solution? REALLY irritating on a otherwise very nice gun Edited January 11, 2013 by Obitwo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vuddha Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 All of my full metal pistols (that's all of my pistols) rattle. With real pistols, some of that rattle is taken cared of by tighter tolerances, and the spring tension of the recoil spring. If you want to try and tighten it up and reduce some of the rattle, read this guys review on the Maruzen P99. He uses shipping labels coated in graphite (pencil) to tighten up the action. Your Mileage May Vary. http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/Maruzen-P99-t71310.html -Vu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks, but the KWA cz75 barrel is deadtight and has movement smooth like butter, and my Guarder upgraded m9 and MEU has also no rattle. ( Some rattle between slide and frame on a classic 1911 I can live with but not between barrel and slide.) This is the worst experienced so far. But I have found the CAUSE!! Inside the slide (on the left wall/side) there is a bar that pushes the barrel forward into locked position. It is 1mm too far back to lock properly to fix the barrel (or to put it differently; the barrel left side notch that takes it is 1mm to far front - depends on how you see it). Place à small piece of metal and fix/ glue it on the slide bar and the play/ wobble is gone.( I cut small pieces from of aluminium from soda cans -Easy to customise with scissors for all kind of bad tolerances) Edited January 12, 2013 by Obitwo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Here is where the slide bar SHOULD be resting when barrel is locked position Edited January 12, 2013 by Obitwo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul202 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 For anybody that has owned both, is this reccomended over the KWA CZ75? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Here is a quick picture comparrison between the KJW CZ75 (KP-09) and the KSC (Taiwan) CZ75, they both weigh just under a kilo, and as far as I can remember one shoots a tiny bit low (KSC) and the other high. I have not had much time with the KJW only testing the CO2 which worked perfectly, I was a bit dubious as there was not even a hiss of gas as I tightened the capsule, so was expecting a failure but was quite the opposite. There is not much of a physical difference between them aside from some trademarks, and KSC's glossier smoother finish, just the hammer difference really, the KJW's hammer doesnt rest fully on the BBU hex-screw area. KSC Taiwan CZ75 & KJW CZ75 (Custom) (apologies for bad lighting, maybe update tomorrow if sun shows up) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I had owned the KSC CZ75 (System 7 version) and it shot high like what you have indicated. It is because the rear sights are significantly higher than the front sight. Real steel CZ75 do not have this problem. However is the KJW rear sight casted onto the frame? Also how is the kick difference between the KSC and the KJW? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I see that the grips on your Kjw is trademarked with CZ and the trigger is chromed - have you swopped parts with a KSC or have new upgrade parts come out, where to buy? Also, did your Kjw have any barrel wobble when bought? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, did your Kjw have any barrel wobble when bought? Hi Obitwo, It's a custom Guarder version from Taiwan, great engraving that actually looks stamped and chrome trigger and barrel, the barrel is a newer version, so I'm not sure if KJW have updated these themselves or Guarder done it. But the basic KJW On TMC has chrome barrel and trigger now, no trades on barrel though. The grips are definetly Guarder and yes the barrel has a very slight rattle, the only other difference I forgot to mention between the KSC & KJW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Yes, If it hadn´t been the rattle, I would have felt that the KJW was the superior one with the steel hammer, sturdier materials and no painted markings which I felt were awful (the fantastic fit between parts on the KSC/KWA should however be mentioned though). There is a very similar KJW upgrade which I have -exact same markings but sadly still with original black trigger + grips (producer called Aplus, on EhobbyA and ASGlobal) Edited January 31, 2013 by Obitwo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wepeel Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 How durable are the CO2 mags? Do they develop leaks like their 1911 mags after a while? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Not that I've noticed, but my climate is a long way removed from yours.I've just tracked down a tightbore and a improved V hop rubber for these made by FALCON. I'll have one or two en route for testing ASAP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
