Otaroko Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah sorry, forgot to mention that I also polished the top of the hammer, but the nozzle length is something Ill have to look into tonight. Would explain why it seemed the BB's are sitting WAY far forward in the hop packing and seem like they are getting stuck.. Might also explain why they are not getting hopped either.Thanks a lot for the advice and help L2E, will look at it all tonight and report back with my findings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otaroko Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well, it appears the Ra-Tech nozzle is actually shorter than the stock nozzle. Now Im unsure of what the issue is with the hop-up. The BB's are getting out to about 30-40 ft and begin to curve downwards, and this is with a REAPS. I feel its something to do with the armature or something not meshing properly because Ive tried .20g's, .30's, .35's, and .40's and they all have the same flight pattern. This is with the NPAS full open or as close to full open as I can manage, maybe 90%. This would be a great rifle if I could actually get the distance Im supposed to be getting, but at this point Im being outranged by even rental m4's and such. i would like to chock it up to everything not being quite worn in yet, but at this point it should be so I dont know what is wrong?

jkpics Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Well I would not put it past RA-Tech tp just use a M4 nozzel in a MSK bolt, I don't think they test things before they sell them, and I don't think WE made the MSK nozzle longer just for fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otaroko Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Nothing too crazy here, just a COMPM4 and the folding stock retention tab is replaced with a steel replacement after the plastic piece decided to snap off.Oh and my picky Hi-Capa... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quiksilver6184 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I just wanted to let you guys know it is possible. I still need to fabricate a recoil buffer like the one on the WE stock, but I did get it to fit. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jkpics Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 How much lighter is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quiksilver6184 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not that much, I just prefer the fixed stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Feyd Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 The rear body pin will stand up to 2 weeks outside weather without any real ill effects... Mental note, it may be easier to access the hop with the body split (debatable) but having to play with a cable tie holding your brand spanking new gun together cause you dropped the pin onto a 2" deep wood chip flooring is not worth the hassle... The pin does however show up on a metal detector... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Otaroko Can you take a picture of the broken nozzle? I want to analyse the cause of fracture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Feyd Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Has anyone had any problems with the Bolt catch? I've probably only gamed a couple of times with mine and it's decided it doesn't like locking back... The part of the bolt catch that the magazine activator bit touches is such a piddlingly thin piece of metal that it just seems to have bent up, gave it a slight bend down and it worked again, but too many more times and it will snap off :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jkpics Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yes, it stems from the M4 mag design, they have a really small arm that only moves a little bit, that drives the design of the ACR, and it is kinda puny, but contact you local WE dealer and ask them to keep a spare part ready then just bend it as needed.

Feyd Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I've already had word that WE don't have spares for that model in the country yet, it's such a puny little post compared to the m4 design too, I knew it was going to be a problem as soon as I saw it, just liked the rest the rest of the gun enough to make up for it!

Feyd Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Used yesterday on my msk, loved it until about mid afternoon when it did this... So we can say the msk is not exactly scope friendly :-P Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk Edited June 9, 2014 by Feyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bbstriker Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 It is scope friendly- with real steel scopes as for all GBB airsoft weapons. It's unrealistic to expect a cheap chinese toy copy of a scope to take any kind of GBB recoil. This is why all my optics on my GBB weapons are real steel. Never a problem.

I say that the scope was garbage from the start. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Feyd Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The reticle glass is held in place by a locating screw in ring with an 'o' ring to hold the glass in place, a little thread lock, gentle persuasion and all is right with the world :-p The original post was a little tongue in cheek, but if I want this look I can't justify the cost of a real steel scope, anything designed for real steel available at a reasonable price in the UK just doesn't work looks wise for me...

Feyd Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Noticed a new bit of wear today, if anyone is having problems with the charging handle getting stuck halfway... When the handle is released it slams forward into a section of the upper receiver and uses it like a stop, it slowly deforms and works inside to jam up the cooking linkage... 30 seconds with a dremel to flatten it off, small coat of grease and it's back to smooth as butter. Worked flawlessly yesterday (in the cold and rain!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 A friend of mine is picking one of these up. What's the word on magazines? Regular WE M4 mags work alright or will I see better performance with the PMAG style mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Feyd Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 They both work, I prefer the pmag style, the only time I use standard m4 style is when I'm borrowing, it just feels a little wrong, don't know if I'm seeing a real performance difference or just because I'm borrowing someone else's gear...

jkpics Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 P-Mags all the way, the alu shell gets bendt and warped over time and will flop around in the mag well, that will lead to mis feeds and broken nozzles, also problems with getting the bolt to lock back. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Feyd Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 That's a very good point, also I've seen quite a few metal mags with battered or missing baseplates too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WTF?Shane Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I noticed that the MSK mags is a better fit in the receiver and more consistent at locking back when empty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeMama Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I too like the MSK mags strictly for my MSK. I have tried my HPA'd metal mag on my MSK....works fine but just doesn't feel right for some reason. Same thing when I use my MSK mags on my SCAR. Maybe mental but I just keep separate mags for the MSK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jkpics Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 MSK mags works great in SCAR's, the SCAR have a really bad problem with alu mags flopping around and feeding extra BB's, it's a mess and the fix is MSK mags, maybe your SCAR is fine with alu mags I have worked on about 5 SCAR's and they all had problems stemming from loose alu mags.
