Description
Righty, reluctant to sell, but would make moving house a little easier.
Cheaper than others sold here, and way cheaper than new in the UK to reflect a couple issues. Works well despite these issues. It has fitted an upgraded CNC JWI hop chamber, Maple Leaf Crazy Jet inner barrel. Real Magpul K2 pistol grip (will include the stubby rattler grip too). Magwell adapted to take the VFC v2 and v3 VMags. Comes with the Artisan Rattler SD suppressor and rail kit. It also has nice Sig Markings from FCW. Ordered last October from Octagon airsoft.
These things are super cool but have a few known problems. I’ve addressed them and it works great, but I’ve not actually skirmished it.
Issues and solutions:
- Finish kinda sucks and despite not being skirmished, has marked up quite easy. Purely cosmetic
- Tolerances are too tight brand new and so I’ve had to cycle it a lot and rack it a lot to break in the internals. The stock recoil springs come very stiff and the finish is very sandy and rough and needed to be worn down through the internals moving how they need to to get it smooth. It’s nice and smooth now, but again, the finish has worn off parts of the bolt carrier and inside the receiver.
- there’s a screw missing from inside the upper receiver (pictured) so far doesn’t seem to affect anything.
- Original QD suppressor is stuck to the muzzle device. I don’t know how. I don’t want to ruin the finish on the suppressor with tools to remove it.
- inner barrel extension removed from the stock suppressor because it’s not compatible with the maple leaf.
- Stock Hop rubber over hops 25s or lower so could do with a change if light bbs are your thing. But 32s are perfect. Maybe not so good for CQB tho, which is the point of this gun.
- Airsoft Artisan SD suppressor is scratched from some mlok grip screws foolishly.
- Full auto fps and spread can be inconsistent. Would benefit from the hop upgrade. But semi auto is like a laser and snappy as hell.
This thing is very nearly awesome. But could use a little tinkering still to really get it perfect. Full auto rate of fire will make you cry with excitement. On semi it’s snappy and crisp and accurate. It absolutely pings. The trigger is great and resets nice, clear and kinetically almost as clear as the break. It’s a very fun shooter. However, compared to other GBBRs it requires more regular cleaning of the internals because of the bad finish mixing with the lubricant in the gas and clogging up the very strong recoil springs. This is not as much an issue since I’ve been breaking it in. And has become lesser. Just expect to need to do more than the usual maintenance.
Gas efficiency wise, when kept clean it’s up there with the rest of VFC V3 gas ARs, 3-5 mags worth of bbs on one gas fill.
I have a series of very honest videos up on YouTube to take into consideration.
I will not be selling it with a magazine. I’m afraid I need them all for my other VFCs
they are quite available though on high pressure airsoft and other retailers. https://www.highpressureairsoft.co.uk/gas-magazines/vfc-m4-green-gas-magazine-30rds---grey
To do this yourself:
Gun on Defcon airsoft - £640
Upgraded JWI hop chamber - £52 plus shipping
Maple Leaf Crazy Jet - £25
Airsoft Artisan SD kit and Rail - £160 shipped
Plus Markings cost
So really £420 despite no mag isn’t too much I don’t think. Or spend 3 times as much for a Toxicant MWS 🤷🏻♂️
Plus £10 P&P
More pictures and videos available on request.
Will only trade for an MWS CQBR
or a GBBR G36 plus cash my way.
