It's just a bit strange that no one in the English speaking world has done a review on the "new wave" MP7.     I hear a lot of raves on the VFC MP7, which while I am sure is 1:1 and kicks like a mul

Calbur20 left with me his New Wave Small Rice (MP7) to fix up. He had mangled the trigger bar spring which I was to fabricate a new replacement for and find out why it was having difficulty applying s

I’m not sure if any of you other owners have noticed, but WE’s Facebook page posted up an offer for free improved gas routers which will improve cool down/efficiency and performance. You just have to

Slight necro, finally got around to trying to make this gun skirmish friendly, the restrictor disc from fg-airsoft takes the gun from 380 fps to around 320, which is very cqb healthy for the UK.

(err their link's url looks wrong, but it links to the correct product)

 

Their estimated % reduction is way off, the white ring took the gun down to 230 fps, where as the black one took it down to 320-330, I think I'll probably apply the blue one to a 400+ fps WE MP5 which hopefully will bring it down to around the same level.

Problems:

 

I found  my MP7 has a problem on auto, where the first round would fire, and then the 2nd and 3rd round would be delayed as it sounds like light-striking. 

 

I have checked for bolt bounce.  The design eleviates this issue so I can't see why this is occuring.

 

But as I burst fire a bit more the gun becomes normal again.  Semi-auto is fine.

 

Temperature is around 14*C or so.

Necro: 

 

A few of my mags have started gently leaking from the bottom, thanks to the pin based magazines which I hate. Could anyone direct me to a more.. "permanent" solution based on sealant? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere but can't seem to find it again, thanks!

Disassemble magazine, use Grey RTV silicone gasket sealant in a very very thin layer under the O-ring.  Those don't seem to react the the propane being stored there.  Then reassemble magazine.

 

Don't use red or green or blue gasket sealants, as they react to the propane.

 

Note:  Sorted the auto problem, turns out to be a combination of worn firing pin and worn bolt carrier from the hammer.  Hammer needs to be modified to prevent it from wearing the bolt carrier.

I have a TM MP7 that's been running great for me but I've modded it a bit to fit my gameplay needs. I was just going to get another TM MP7 since I already have mags but a 1:1 MP7 that isn't the VFC intrigues me. From what I gathered the biggest issues are the mushy triggers and the assortment of general WE things right? Has anyone skirmished theirs before, holds up through a game?

Yeah it is great isn't it. 

 

Thats what got me to buy it, the kick and FPS.  It is a more than adequate primary if you play with real/low capacity or if you pick your shots against the hicap crowds.

 

Though, so summarise the issues/solutions found so far:

 

- Sliding stock catch (not steel and  will wear over a few rounds --> must replace with steel catch which is included in the box)

- Stock FCG (Mushy+ will wear over time --> must replace with steel FCG)

- Aftermarket steel FCG (Also mushy + wears bolt carrier --> will require modification before installation else many other things will go wrong)

- Hop up (the hop adjustor  does not depress the hop rubber enough --> will require modification)

- Rear of receiver (will break if skirmishing over 40*C--> requires sorbo pad or other buffer system added to rear of receiver)

- Rear stock plate (will break at the stock catch due to recoil loosening the stock screws --> locktite all screws at the back)

- Poor cold weather performance (stock flute valve spring is too strong--> clip spring by 1.5-2 rungs to enable <0*C function)

So I just got this toy for myself and I already noticed the bad trigger pull on semi. What my problem really is that I can't seem to adjust the hop-up. The hex key that came with the gun will not catch on the grub screw that allows the adjustment of the hop-up no matter how I tried to insert. I also tried different sizes of keys but no sell. I looked in the hole but could not tell if there is even a screw in there. Will disassemble soon but tought I would ask if anyone had any similar experiences.
