PreacherMan Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Did not know that, actually. I stand corrected.Still stands to point though, as long as people are able to get fresh supplies of the gun there'll be a market for replacements- at this point, all production looks like it will be stopped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manxmadman Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 So my KRISS is due to get delivered today, and from reading the thread it seems likely that it'll turn up with the internals being quite dry. Now I'm used to stripping down pistols and giving them a quick blast of silicon where needed, but that's about as far as I've gone with GBB maintenance. I've watched a few take down videos (a couple of times to get familiar), so I've an idea of how to get to the bolt/super V system, but what parts need some care before use and is plain silicon (I hear it comes with a bottle in the box) up to the job or do I want to be using grease on some areas? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PanteraTigris Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Just a heads up for those of you whose considering on buying this. This upgrade kit is a huge disappointment included are; 1. 6.01 TB barrel 2. Maple leaf hop rubber 3. Parts no. 13,522, 64 and 96(all in quality metals) This is a drop in kit Unfortunately there was ABSOLUTELY no improvements on FPS and accuracy(became worst). So I decided to mix match everything with the stock parts and the best mix was to use the; 1. 6.01TB barrel 2. Stock hop rubber and part 64(this parts are not interchangeable with the kit). 3. Kit part 13, 522, and 96 Althought There is only a slight increase in fps(+10) there was significant improvement in accuracy compared to the stock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. Mine runs fine in terms of accuracy and range. Ill keep running it as it is until I need to change the hop bucking. Then maybe ill try the maple leaf bucking (I have two)...if that doesnt give me good resuts, ill go with the guarder ones (also have two). On a side note...I am running the maple leaf hop bucking, sleeve and tensioner on my lm4...made a huge improvement over stock performance. Installation wasnt a simple drop in....had to tweak it, but it works awesome. Least for cqb play. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Since my loading nozzle broke with the first magazine... and KWA blanked me when I told them about it, I thought I should mention this pieces of "news"... http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=634_1053&products_id=16712 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Interficium Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Random update: The gun performed admirably on duster in the 300fps range in 22-25C weather for three hours. Enough to not warrant me doing a dangerwerx valve install... for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnL Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) guys I just got a vector in the mail, took it apart, and the bolt body is PLASTIC, the 2 plates with the slits for the bolt itself to travel in are metal, the the main body is plastic?!?! i thought it was supposed to be steel Edited May 8, 2013 by TnL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Do you mean the nozzle? Yes that is plastic as it should be. The BOLT itself is steel yes, the peice that actually wares away. Metal nozzles can shatter bbs on impact and cause other issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Metal nozzles can shatter bbs on impact and cause other issues. Where as plastic nozzle can break on its first magazine like mine... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 12k-13k bbs through mine....nozzle is still in tact. Zero failures over on my end. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TnL Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) no not the nozzle, the block that rides up and down and carries the 2 plates that hold the bolt in line when it was said earlier in the thread that the internals are "all steel" I assumed that this rather large component would be counted in that Edited May 8, 2013 by TnL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Photograph the exact part and post. If your talking about the center block of that, then it should be plastic. Making it steel would make it too heavy, reduce ROF and reduce performance and increase cooldown. Especially on somthing that does not need to be steel. Looked inside mine and what needs to be steel/metal is such. What needs to be plastic is.. Edited May 8, 2013 by bankz5152 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interficium Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 RA-Tech disagrees Whatever happened to this? P.S. I posted something of a long Kriss post-mortem, mostly a summary of the License revoke, as well as bulleted review culled from my thoughts in this thread, at my blog. Hit the link below.

bankz5152 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 RATech make alot of steel parts doesnt mean they should be installed. Its general common sense. If the bolts heavier it will require more energy to move it therefore moving slower and using 'more' gas increaseing cooldown Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yeah, the Vector isn't heavy enough, so add more weight RAtech. Maybe they'll release a full metal kit for it, as the plastic body is too light. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the bolts heavier it will require more energy to move it therefore moving slower and using 'more' gas increaseing cooldown So they make a lot of steel parts... sell a lot of steel parts... and some people have great experience with their steel parts... but they shouldn't be installed because Bankz5152 says so... sure, I'll email them now and tell them to close up, their existence is pointless.

hwagan Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think what he means is some of their steel parts are pointless... I can see no logical reason to have a steel replacement for that particular part in a Kriss, it just seems silly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yeap, pretty sure we are talking about one thing RAtech make, that just seems to be pointless. We need more steel, damn it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Exactly Habakure, just because RA-Tech says so doesnt mean you should install it! Ive had 6/7 WE GBBRs 2 of which had RA-Tech parts (self installed) one RA-Tech Custom both had big issues within 10K rounds. However my other WE rifles ran on to around 15/16K with only very minor issues. Especially being in the UK you do not want a big heavy steel bolt, many people have had issues with Inokatsus and other GBBRs with steel bolts because it is not warm enough! The Kriss works fine without that part and im sure it will continue to as Snoopy proved, 12K through no issues. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnL Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) well, if that block had been steel maybe the gun would be fun to shoot,, as it is it fires like a noisy AEG, ive had AEG pistons give more recoil, which im sure is the "point" of the vector system, but its far from the point of an airsoft GBBR Edited May 9, 2013 by TnL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
