BLZeebub Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Mornin All, I was giving the G5 a bit of a clean this weekend and spotted a bit at the back of the lower receiver that has me confused. Id noticed before that after pushing out the pin the upper took a bit of effort to pull up and yesterday I spotted a metal spring clip that I cant see on the exploded diagram and also can t see on any pics i've seen of the internals. I think it was originally sitting vertically but wherever it goes it either gets pushed down or pulled up (and eventually off) when I lift the upper off so ive currently put it horizontal on the top which also stops the difficulty in opening up. Any ideas? B-> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krydel Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) G5 carbine kit is for sale on samoon website. Buybuybuy. *EDIT* Bought one along with a load of spares (mostly charging handles so i can hk slap at will) Edited August 29, 2013 by Krydel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Damnit. I want the DMR version with silver bull barrel :| Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krydel Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Would anyone be so kind as to measure their inner barrel? Its meant to be approx 200mm but would like an exact measurement so i can decide which replacement to get. (forgot to mention I don't get mine back for a couple weeks still) Edited August 29, 2013 by Krydel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seagullman Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Turns out you can't put rail covers on the charging handle side else you stop it from returning all the way to the front. Files ahoy! that mod looks oddly cool... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fox62 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Damnit. I want the DMR version with silver bull barrel :| Isn't what they released pretty much the same but without the bullburrel + a cheek riser (which I hadn't seen on the bull burrel mock-ups)? So you'd only need to get this kit + the barrel, which also gives you more options to get whatever outer you wanna. I'm planning on making a two tone, multi-receiver gun from this. I wonder if the two colors plus a silver bull barrel will be too much though... Fox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Yeah that's the model I am talking about. Where can I get the parts needed to build that ? The outer bull barrel specifically that is. Edited September 2, 2013 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fox62 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah that's the model I am talking about. Where can I get the parts needed to build that ? The outer bull barrel specifically that is. It's just a standard G5 with just the handguard from the kit, THIS scope (or the RS one if you can afford it), and the bull barrel. I don't know what threading it is, but there's plenty of bull barrels out there to choose from. I'll be building my thing in a month or two, so I am yet to decide on the specific outer. Maybe something like THIS but longer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I believe the 12" kit actually has a cheek raiser included Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlito86 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Anybody already mounted the carbine kit and can review? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krydel Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Anybody already mounted the carbine kit and can review? Mine's currently being thrown around the post office whilst they decide when they're going to send me the customs letter to pay. Will take pics and review when i get my hands on it!

PanteraTigris Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Skirmished mine last sunday and i was out ranging AEG's firing at 500fps with twice the inner barrel length. The couldn't believe it. Mine is an RATech version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krydel Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Any ideas of how to crack open the nozzle? It seems to be glued together from two pieces Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) As leaned on the WA nozzle, it likely has a pin in the back. Just got mine extended today. Pics to come Edit: btw, I replaced the HU-Rubber with a Marui one. This should be interesting.... Edited September 10, 2013 by Chevieblazer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I fitted the carbine kit to one today , it looks great . We left out the inner barrel in order to keep it around 330 fps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlito86 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 We want photos! Pantera,since I have the ratech too: May I ask you which bb you use?mine is shooting 0,28 overhopped in the air with zero hop up Do I have to use 0,40 to have a straight range? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PanteraTigris Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I use .30 most likeky your hop rubber is stuck just like mine. When I first used it all bbs were over hopping even at zero hop so when I opened it and looked at the rear the hop can still be seen at zero hop. So you need to remove the adjuster and reset it.

carlito86 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have no idea how to do :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PanteraTigris Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) just follow the Instruction it also leads to the hop up. Edited September 11, 2013 by PanteraTigris 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krydel Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) EDIT** How embarassing, i put the thread inserts in back to front. My bad, ignore this! Edited September 13, 2013 by Krydel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krydel Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 So I messaged Samoon about getting sub 350fps and they said they would make a 1J bolt for me getting them to test with the long barrel too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds very interesting, I reckon there could be a market for that. B-> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlito86 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I dismembered the hop up.was shootinh ok...than I tried adding a little hop up and now again shooting in the air, the registry is working, it is just too overhopping...almost desperate...

Krydel Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Sorry about the delay and shoddy picture, my dSLR is packed away for my imminent move of house! Fitted the kit with minimal trouble, aside from the fiddly-as-hell thread inserts falling out. A small bit of tape soon fixed that problem though. The kit itself is solid, with no creaks or wobbles if shaken. My only possible issue I might face is the small gap in the ris where the original bottom rail and the extended bottom rail meet, but fingers crossed it will be fine. I have an EGLM arriving early next week which should answer that question fairly rapidly. The good news is the smaller barrel doesn't cause any problems inside the carbine kit, I half-expected it to hit the flash hider on the way out. It feels so much more "finished" as a carbine length kit, there was definitely something missing in its tiny cqb form. You can get a proper grip and stabilize that kick with ease, with no loss of the fun. If GHK make this 1J bolt and it chronos under 350fps with the longer barrel, I will have my dream gun!
