renegadecow Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 HPA tap, sure. AEG midcaps, no. Feed lips don't match so you'll need to custom make each and every mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 The front nub was stuck downward thus BBs rolled in without stop had to file the sides a little. I will try teloning here and there first then we'll see. I did overtightened the mentioned screw tough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bankz5152 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Not popped mine open yet but that looks much more like a standard VSR/PDI set up as opposed to WEs new buggering about. Any chance you could check if new rubbers will fit without changing the barrel? on my phone, my spelling will suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 It's the new WE version. Not all that bad after widening the window. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
machgo Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Got mine today--WOOO HOOOO!!! Took advantage of the TIger111 Chinese New Year sale. Got the gun (black) and two extra mags, delivered to USA, for $402, which I thought was pretty good. Gassed up the mags and one had a vicious leak from the base plate. Loosening the base plate screw--which was tight--then re-tightening it solved the problem. Mags are probably the easiest to load of any GBBR I have. There was no Dino-dong, Cockasaurus Rex speed loader in my box, and I feel cheated... One of the first things I noticed was that the mags need to warm a fair bit after filling or performance is basically non-existent, with BBs barely sputtering out and strained cycling of the bolt. Once warmed, ROF was very good and power seemed pretty good too. I used the Papago fake cartridge cut-outs someone posted in the other thread, and they look pretty good! When I first printed them from Adobe, they came out slightly small, maybe 3-5% undersize. But when printed from Photoshop, they come out the right size. They are far superior to the WE sticker, which is cartoonish in comparison. I simply printed them on plain paper, cut them out, creased them appropriately, then put them under the plastic mag housing, being careful not to over-tighten the retaining screw. Put a few mags through it (after greasing it up, it was very dry) and haven't had any drama yet. Really looking forward to some warmer weather! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptCalvin Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Huh... that my experience was quite different. Besides the fact that there was a fair bit of drama, mine performed alright cold. In fact it still performed even as the condensation had started to frost on the internal reservoir! It's the one thing I was presently surprised by with this thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'll just leave this here. http://www.kyairsoft.com/shop/category/parts-smg-gbbr-t-a-2015-gbbr-348 Glad to see WE selling parts now albeit through a distributor. Not sure abput putting the original price next to the grossly inflated one though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I hope they put up more parts because I lost my entire flash hider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptCalvin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I hope they put up more parts because I lost my entire flash hider. Pretty sure p90 flash hiders are out there. What happened to yours anyway? Edited February 15, 2016 by CaptCalvin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yeah the original was so plastic fantastic anyway, and all the threading on mine is pretty messed up, I think I managed to hit it in a game and the grub screw just ate through some of the plastic barrel's thread, could easily see how it can be lost.

renegadecow Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I don't trust the grub screw at all. I tighten the lock ring against the flash hider and have the grub screw just tight enough against the barrel to keep it from shaking itself out. edit: For the material, it's just aluminum and very soft at that. Keeps noise a bit down though, tried a steel flash hider of similar size and shape and it was surprisingly a lot louder.

CaptCalvin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I don't even use the grub screw. Basically useless against plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Pretty sure p90 flash hiders are out there. What happened to yours anyway? Suprisingly hard to find actually. I only found some american shops but I don't want to order from there. The gun was hanging by the sling on me when the sling came off and the gun landed head first on concrete. The entire thread broke off of the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 You'll be needing more than just a flash hider in that case. Drill out the existing "barrel" threads or what's left of it, then insert one of those 1" barrel extensions. Non-US source of flash hider, but it's the QD style with Gemtech suppressor. http://www.kic.com.tw/shop/product_info.php?info=p7389_King-Arms-Gemtech-SP90-Quick-Detach-Silencer-for-P90---14mm----.html&XTCsid=859d73b260b4a5fbb6bc7be9d23c2a18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
machgo Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Well, my drama started. While the gun still functions well, the reservoir in the gun has developed a very steady leak. I can't be sure, but it seems like it is NOT from the brass nipple area. It leaks with or without a mag installed. I do not relish the idea of opening this clam. If any one has split this thing open, can you chime in as to any surprises or areas where special care has to be taken? On a brighter note, after inserting a piece of zip tie between the trigger and trigger wires/rods, the trigger pull is crisp and double taps are very easy--something the stock trigger could not do well at all.

CaptCalvin Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Remove the magazine catch first. And when separating the two halves hold the trigger fast to the right side. This will decrease the chances of the trigger and selector detent plunger assemblies from springing loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Sounds like a bloated tank. Been storing it with the mag on or with the tank full? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
machgo Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Yeah, that's gonna be a problem. The tank is prone to bloating when you do that. More details about it a few pages back, but once you straighten it back out and keep the tank near empty (no mag) during storage it's ok.

machgo Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 OK thanks. Going to try to open it up later today. Will report back any findings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
machgo Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Remove the magazine catch first. And when separating the two halves hold the trigger fast to the right side. This will decrease the chances of the trigger and selector detent plunger assemblies from springing loose. I can see why you suggest to remove the magazine catch first...but how does one do that? I've removed all the screws, but it appears the magazine catch holds the halves of the shell together. I've carefully pried around the catch with no success so far... I got it. Trick is to push only one side of the catch in, then pry the other side. I used my fingernail and it came right off. Using a screwdriver blade was getting me no where. Tank doesn't appear to be bulging. If it is bulging, it is very subtle. Leak is at the joint of the tank halves. I have some gasket maker compound setting up now...

renegadecow Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 The o-ring in between is very thin so it only takes a small shift in material to cause a leak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
machgo Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Seems to be all better now...for the moment at least. As said above, O-ring between tank halves is mighty thin. I added some automotive gasket maker around the seam and let it set up per the instructions. I added gas from a magazine before reassembly and no hissing was heard. Put gun back together and fired through a magazine in full auto bursts--no hissing. I then removed the magazine and fired the gun while holding down the disconnector. Oddly enough I only got three semi shots out of the reservoir. Before, I was able to shoot well over a dozen...Will have to keep an eye on it I guess. As far as disassembly and reassembly, no problems encountered. The one fiddly bit, which is no biggie really, is the plastic fire selector nubbin. It is held down weakly, which can allow it to slip fully up into the selector switch. If this happens, it will be obvious--the switch can't be changed from one setting to another, and the body halves won't fit together. Otherwise, to open it up is really quite easy. Thanks for the input/help! Edited February 22, 2016 by machgo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
