Colin_The+Ferret Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I keep hoping they will come out with a Beretta 1934, since they seem to be working on "classics". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialWeaponsAndPlastic Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Reading through this makes me so tempted to get one unless we come out with a ppk.Glad to hear it!The WE Makarov is quite a nice pistol after a little added threadlock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks to RC's recommendation, Bakelite grip installed on the full steel Mafioso PMM. Don't have the "right" silencer yet... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dimitri MdP Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 any (serious) idea of how to install a flashlight on these things? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Maybe a light on a VSS barrel mount onto a suppressor? It has a fixed barrel so adding weight to the suppressor won't affect the performance. Edited July 16, 2017 by blobface Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blobface Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Trouble with that is the Makarov disassembles by pulling the trigger guard down, so you would have to take the light mount off every time you want to adjust hop up.. *actually, thinking about it, it wouldn't, depending on how big it is, if it's done slim enough you could just pull the light + mount down when you need to access the hop unit / internals, so it might not be stable enough to hold a perfect zero for laser, but for light it would do just fine.

ST19AG_WGreymon Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Anyone here having issues with the nozzle breaking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, we have a dozen on our team and no issues whatsoever. One of them (blue nozzle, from the first "WE USA" batch) came out of the box with the nozzle already cracked, but we replaced it with a regular WE nozzle and it's been running strong for 3 years since. Is your gun breaking nozzles? If so, which part of the nozzle? ------------------------ Now other important stuff: We've been experimenting for quite a while to get these things to shoot at an acceptable FPS without using the extended inner barrel + suppressor. Best result so far is running RA-Tech's 6.01 x 84mm inner barrel (it's the longest one that will fit the outer), Maple Leaf Decepticon bucking + Maple Leaf I-key (glued to the hop arm). Everything else is OEM (forget about aftermarket floating valves and piston heads.... all those fancy things can't perform as good as OEM's) We are getting super consistent 300FPS, which is still relatively far from the 330 local limit, but much more acceptable than the ~245FPS they shoot out of the box. Accuracy and range are unbelievably good, as is the +/-1 consistency, so I think we'll keep them that way Edited June 19, 2018 by Dimitri MdP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dimitri MdP Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 better get a OEM nozzle from KYAirsoft.com. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dimitri MdP Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 A silly mod / upgrade than can help with accuracy: prevent any movement in the inner barrel by shimming the space between the inner and outer with a cut out from an old bucking. In the pic I'm using a Ra-Tech 84mm x 6.01 inner barrel, as that's the longest one and tightest that fits 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Does the crazy jet barrel (84mm?) line up flush with the outer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does, but bear in mind the pressure relief sleeve takes 13mm out of the usable barrel length, and it's a 6.04... so the FPS are just about (o even slightly below than) that of the OEM barrel with no extension Edited November 23, 2018 by Dimitri MdP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kazuchan Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Can we bring more fps/ Joules with heavier bb ( like 0.28 or 0.3g ) or more power gas ( 20% stronger like red can gas )? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as you keep it in the normal operating range (80 to 160PSI), gas pressure has no influence on FPS. And the gun is not a joule creeper with such a short barrel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Well, I got my mak about a week ago.. ..and it's not working too great. Trigger pull produces one flying bb and empties pretty much all gas in one go, mostly blowing back from the action below the slide onto my hand on the pistol grip. After that one shot the gun and the magazine are both pretty cold. Any ideas on what might be wrong? I tried swapping out the barrel and bucking to a Maple Crazy Jet and Autobot, but the OEM parts looked to be slightly different, so I swapped the OEM parts back. Pretty sure I did not mess up anything, as there's maybe 5-8 parts involved after disassembly. And none were left on the table once I had the gun back together..😉 I also swapped the stock black grips into the WE fakelite ones, but no hicups there either. Any possible pits to fall into here..? I am also using Nuprol 4.0, as I live here in the cold north. Could the higher pressure cause a malfunction like this? When looking the trigger mechanism nothing seems broken or anything..

Black Knight Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Found out something. Apparently the slide does not properly engage the valve knocker reset lever when it's travelling back. Going to have to investigate further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 When it purges the mag does the slide travel rearward at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yep. Travels maybe a couple centimeters.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'd check the nozzle for cracks and the piston cup for tears. 2nd is to check proper function of valve knocker and knocker lock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Oh yea, the loading nozzle is cracked. Big crack on the side facing the slide, so it's pretty much impossible to see just by taking the slide of the frame. Any idea on where can I find replacements? Looked at KYairsoft, but they don't have part #48 listed at all.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Best to contact them about it. It might be listed as a whole sub assembly or under a different name. If they don't have it I'm sure they can sort you out since they have a direct line with WE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 KY apparently has pretty nice customer service. I contacted them and within a few hours received a reply directing me to the correct item(it was listed as a nozzle assembly) on their website. Placed an order right away and ordered two while I was at it. Now I just have figure out how on earth I'm going to get the nozzle return spring installed back between the slide and the BBU. Does anybody have a good technique for that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 The track for the spring is on the slide so keep the slide upside down and tilted a bit forward while reinstalling the BBU while making sure the nozzle is held back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
