3vi1-D4n Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Darn still 1.5kg lighter than the real deal. The wood does look amazing though. My M1A1 has to fight for attention between my M1 Carbine, and STG44 Edited June 25, 2019 by 3vi1-D4n Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 After carrying the weight of a real wartime M1A1, I have no intention of humping that for airsoft haha! Though mine could still use a steel outer barrel and with a piece of rebar in the oiler compartment adds maybe another 500g. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Thats the thing, the experience feels like a video game if the realistic weight isn't there. I am not advocating guns which are heavier than real steel, but at least close to the real steel, so part of the experience is figuring out its trade-offs and quirks. I might go steel barrel and wood kit, after buckets of 20 round mags, for the jungle warfare feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted January 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Just a small update. For a time my Thompson has been disconnecting in full auto unless I push forward on the handguard. Nothing seemed out of order and I surmised that sheer inertia was tripping the disconnect after its spring had worn down some. Pushing forward merely cushioned the blow of the bolt. I couldn't replace the spring outright with a stiffer one as it's in a balance between being stiff enough to hold the disconnect and soft enough to be tripped by the bb follower. To cut things short, I just had to stretch the spring (part no. 66) out by 10° and retempered giving it just a little more pre tension. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
