I have one. Not played with it yet, will be used on Sunday for my first post-lockdown skirmish.
The new internals are pretty good - I've no plans to replace anything inside the GB until it breaks. Stock motor is torquey but a little slow (11-12 RPS on 7.4v LiPo).
I have:
- Replaced the hop rubber and nub (had a TM spare)
- Removed the fuse and added deans connector
- Changed the fire selector for this one
- Re-shimmed and re-greased (to be fair it was decent enough on both counts out of the box)
- Rocket 16TPA Hi-Torque
I'm very happy with it so far. Can't comment on longevity yet though.

Hey man just a quick one (burning question) did you get an unjamming rod? For the life of me I can’t find one! And I’ve turned the man cave upside down.

You'll have to redo the wiring anyway, so at this point you could buy another v3 switch, wire the warfet to that one so you have a backup in case something goes funny.
Mmm I like it. -

I'd keep it, unless you're planning to wire a mosfet in.
Aye, I’ll be putting a warfet in once I’ve had a few games stock.

Yeh - I went with the 340FPS version - but you're right, it was just a cut-down spring - it was well done though and the gun is shooting a consistent 345fps.
I reckon they ear-mark a certain number of them per consignment and downgrade ready for those who order as it's a popular model. Mine shipped really quickly after ordering - so I doubt they took it apart between ordering and sending.
Ordered mine last night after a few too many beers.. just watched that Pheas airsoft and he mentions wobble on the flash hider. Have you had anything like that? Also, I’ll be converting to deans. Would I be ok getting rid of the fuse?

Yea I’ll have a tinker when I get it. Hard to choose between wood grips or railed ones

Yep TG will be receiving my wages. What’s the delivery time like? Also, does anyone know where I can get a nice m4 style optic on the cheap?

Bearing in mind £130 will barely get you a Combat Machine in the UK, the gun is stonking value for money. Is it as nicely made as an LCT? - No, It's less than half the price, but on the other hand it's more than good enough for BB LARPwarz and a great canvas to build something very cool. I Krylon'd mine (shock! Horror!!) because...umm...it seemed like a good idea at the time. I mean, who needs resale value, right?
My gun had a bit of stock wobble (cured with a bit of card on the back of the receiver in the hinge) . Upper hand guard was missing a small self-tapping screw into the wood. Fire selector kept coming loose until I used green Loctite (which is gonna be fun to remove). Small niggles, but easily fixed and I've had worse on far more expensive guns.
I tested the gun with an SHS Hi-Speed motor, 20-22 RPS on a 7.4v LiPo. But the wiring isn't cut out for the amps and the fuse blew within a few seconds of testing. And it ate batteries. I would recommend no more than a 16TPA (SHS or Rocket Hi-Torque is Ideal).
I will probably re-wire at some point with something like a WARFET - but it's not a priority at all. The gun points extremely well and from an ergonomic point of view fits me perfectly. The balance is a bit front-heavy but that's the nature of most AKs. I find it very satisfying to pick up and fondle - more so than M4's of which I own (and have owned) many.
But on the other hand it could shit itself the very first time I use it - at which point I could be coming back here to describe what a pile of wank it is instead.
I mean I’m sold man. I was 14 years old and went round to my first girlfriends house only to see her dad (an ex squaddie) standing in his conservatory with a CM.045 (15 years ago) that was my first introduction into Airsoft. I held it and instantly fell in love and eventually ended up standing in the back garden to feel what it felt like to get hit for the first time.
Ive been after one of these for a while but another gun always came up. You my friend have tipped me over the edge and this will be my next purchase. Deep down I’ve always been an AK guy, and you know what? It’s ok.. Thank you. 😂 -

Do they still have the terrible clear air nozzle or a decent one?
I believe it’s a blue plastic one with no o-ring mate.

Mmm I’ve heard good things too. Yea, I’m planning to change bucking and barrel but will see how I get on first. Tis a shame about the motor.. I’m guessing a SHS high torque will solve snappiness and trigger response tho. Please do let me know how you get on Sunday. How’s build quality? Also, I’m planning to slam a warfet in there and get pre-cocking going and turn it into a CQB / woodland beast’n.

Hi all,
Anyone had any experience with the above? (The newer version with blue internals)

By the time guys get to that level it'll be like teaching Nana to suck eggs lol, I'm just wondering how intense the system is nowadays to ensure man & machine work as one.
As a young squaddie in the rgj, the emphasis on marksmanship was immense, including the tailoring your rifle.
Obviously the quality of our servicemen (& women) is still top notch, maybe any serving players can comment on weapon personalisation & emphasis nowadays ?
Haha my WHT on the GPMG lasted all of 10 mins... never even held one in depot and within a day of being at battalion I was lugging it around with 700 rounds and a spare barrel... -
Hey there,
I took the leap. I wear prescription glasses underneath my goggles and fogged up like a MF.
Short answer to the question of functionality: yes, they do work.
Are they 90£ worth of anti fogging goodness.. Hmmm, I played for 4 hours straight at the mill in Wigan and they fogged up once whilst stationary. However, not as much as my goggles used to fog up and it was to the point where I could see and my red dot was a lil blurry.
So if like me and others on the thread: you wear glasses under goggles and you’ve simply had enough of fog and walking back to the safe zone (and got 90£ burning a hole in your dump pouch) then yea they’re worth it.
I was sceptical, yet proven wrong. Overall good product and just by the skin of its teeth worth the investment.
If anyone wants to see the set up I’ve got and how I use them just let me know.

Woo we got there! Un-bent the upper and epoxy’d the tab! All I need now is a new charging handle spring (may even cut it down) but again thanks guys.
-
Thanks guys, I'm trying to revisit it when I get a spare chance (just had a little girl). But i will faff with the receiver this weekend and let you know how I get on (if you care) haha! What an amazing community Airsoft has - You guys responded without delay to help someone out with a burning question. Big thanks to you guys.

Thanks guys I’ll let you know how I get on. I really feel like I’ll struggle with this and I’m so gutted it broke!! Haha. The pictures are a massive help Nick thank you but is there any chance you could send some more with a bit more detail ? I’m really really no tech (as you’ve probably already worked out) what bits need gluing to where? Haha and yes upon closer inspection the receiver is bent!
Dunno why my last post said Nick said it.. he didn’t..
-
What do you suggest? A new lower or? I can’t find any lost parts. I could run it without the mock bolt but what’s the point in that haha.
16 minutes ago, Nick G said:The mock bolt should be attached to the upper, the part at the top of it in your picture with the small spring should be attached below the ejection port. Have a look at the receiver there may be some broken or lost fastenings. In fact you can see them if you blow the picture up, the two silver 'dots' below the ejection port. The section of receiver there actually looks bent in the picture too.
Can you sign post any videos?

Hi all,
Someone please kindly educate me on how to put the parts back into the weapon as they came out after cleaning barrel. PLEASE HELP !!!!
I can get it back in but the charging handle doesn’t come all the way back and the mock bolt carrier won’t come back to reveal the hop up.

Hey man thanks. And I’ve heard mixed reviews about optical sensors.. I just feel like there’s more to go wrong. Take it you’ve had good results then?
