    VFC M249 Thread

    in Gas Guns

    Posted

    I actually only load to either 100 or 120 as I don't think the mags will be as reliable filled to 175 given that VFC refer to them as 100 round mags with only a side note saying "they can be made to fit 175 with a mechanical loader"

    Thanks, I happen to have one of the Auscam mags too so will have a try. I shortened my gas tube slightly even to use in the boxmag. Also invested in a pack of conector clips to stop the gas tube being unintentionally released.

    Oh cool , yeah the box mag fits perfectly . Oh I did cut a space for the pipe on the feed guides like the one on the VFC mag too but a little larger

    Very smart.Out of interest , which size gas tank have you got in the auscam mag ? I

    The regular box mag one fits perfectly . Although I did remove 1" of tube to relieve some stress on the connector

    Got my one done last night, pin was just bloody tight in the nozzle.

     

    Now to charge my chrono and see if it will work so I can dial in the valve to my preferred Vorsk V6 gas

    I did find that it was easy to adjust through the nozzle for a change

    @1st commando  have you got round to fitting the adjustable valve to your one yet?

     

    Asking as I'm currently stripping my one down to fit the part (as well as clean and lube the workings) and i just wanted to check if the retaining pin for the nozzle return spring needs to come out one direction rather than the other.  Don't want to force it the wrong way and break the nozzle assembly

    I did indeed and i just tapped it out and didn't see anything directional on it

    Hi I bought from Airsoft world.net I thought it was broken but had to be sure. I’m not sure there are any replacement parts for the magazine well.

     

    reached out to them already but no response.

     

    thanks for feedback

    Contact Airsoft world , it's up to them to help you. Worth emailing VFC too at  [email protected] but ultimately Airsoft world should swap it right away as they are a UK retailer bound by UK trade laws.

    Hi all,

     

    I just opened up my m249 today and the magazine catch is really not working I suppose this is not how this should come right?

     

    im really disappointed tbh thought VFC had good reviews on the m249 and it seems like they have really poor quality control.

     

    any help would be greatly appreciated to see if this is normal, but I doubt this is correct.

     

    thanks IMG_1697.thumb.jpeg.8191fb2c27c0ee8217cb7a932549a982.jpeg

    That's been broken ! There have been a few got broken in transit etc and if you email  [email protected] they will send you a new one directly. Where did you buy from?

    That’s what I thought. So it suggest the issue is the Z-Parts barrel is thicker and so I have to decide whether to try to alter the gas block, or buy another original barrel. 

    steel barrel always wins in my book 

    Fake WE gas

    It's important to realise something about this situation . WE AIrsoft is a page ran by WETTI/ARmed force in Hong Kong and NOT WE Model. 

    What i suspect has actually happened is that WE Airsoft are licensed to use the WE name on gas in Hong Kong and designed the graphics etc which is why no one outside HK has seen the "original" cans.

    Gunfire come along to WE Model and license the WE name for Europe (they are a distributor) to make their own WE gas . However they use a graphic owned by WE Airsoft/AF rather than using their own or WE Model's not realising it's the IP of AF and not WE model .

    WE AIrsoft /AF then get upset and claim it as "counterfeit"

    I find it somewhat ironic given that WETTI has always and continues to pretend to be WE Model co on social media when they are not.

     

    Both gases are probably made at puff dino or similar who make most airsoft gases ,especially ones from Taiwan

    I think the produced under licence which has now expired is the most likely explanation. This wouldn't be the first time WE have parted ways with another company before slinging mud and creating silly drama on social media. Anyone else remember the WETTI/WE Europe spat?

    I guess a gbb one doesn't work in the cold and will only hold 2 pairs of socks and a t shirt

    You are somewhat correct , It's the same "WE" as was involved in that drama because they were upset that WE Europe (later Nuprol) cut them out and went direct to WE Model

    Also ordered, thanks for the heads up 

    MK 46 stock looks good on it too 

    No worries. Interestingly it's actually a VFC stock for the AEG mk48 and I found it compatible with the buffer plate and switched them over. But thanks, I like it too

    Didnt know there was an adjustable nozzle for the 249. Do you have a link to where I can get one myself?

    It's exactly the same valve as every other VFC (except mp5) . I got mine from gbbparts.com

    Also it turns out the real B&T rail fits although it does mean you have to remove it to remove the gas tube as part of a detailed strip

    ok, where can i get an airsoft KS1?

    We have been building our own for the last year or so . It's not actually a hard build to get close but a perfect replica is currently impossible. I used a VFC SR16E3 GBB with the correct rail from Airsoft artisan , a custom supressor and the correct furniture from magpul

    you can't currently, closest would be the ARES SR16 long tan version. To make it a closer match you would need to replace the stock with a Magpul SL-K tan stock, remove the QD points from the front rail and fill them in and fit a Magpul MOE tan grip for an AEG. It wouls still be inaccurate as the outer rail would be about 15mm too short and the right side bolt release is a different type. 

    If I ever get my hands on one I can probably model and metal print the correct bolt release but they seem hard to find in the shops right now.

    The correct rail and supressor are both made already but the VFC and G&G options are better base rifles tbh . The SF version uses a ctr stock which is easier to get a replica of or even a real one if you wish

    I know they’re using the MCX, and the Knights Armament KS-1 is rumoured to be a replacement for the L119A2, but are they in service yet? Or is there something else I’ve missed? The Rangers and Marines are getting the KS-1 so it would make sense for the SAS and SBS to have it as well. 

    UKSF had the KS1 well over a year ago before the Ranger trials were even complete
