Round two of my Zenitco parts finally arrived from Russia, the build is finally ready for someone much more capable than I to put it together.
Had a B11u, B18 and some different length rail segments in this one.

1x Perun V2 Hybrid (rear wired)
1x Perun V3 Hybrid.
Add €15 postage from Kurwa Land and I got two mosfets for the price of a single Titan Advanced
They're here!
Minor disappointment in the V3 as it requires soldering out of the box, but I can totally understand why they did that (there's a million + 1 different guns with V3 boxes and having a one size fits all set of wires is impossible).
V2 will be installed tonight, V3 within saturday

Just started to dive into my CA MP5K project that I got from the forums.
Gone is the hideous rail someone had put on it, now working on re-routing wires, ordered some new body pins and trying to get rid of the thread adaptor by means of Dremel/WD40/Fire
What I can confirm is that it fires, is accurate at CQB ranges and is very loud...

Bit of a project for me.
Used we smg8 with 4x mags
Good points:
Freshly serviced by a trusted teck
NPAS
ML Monster rubber
Steel stock catch
Steel trigger set
All magazines have gas route upgrades
It was very cheap
Bad points:
Wrap is very call of duty
Wrap is patchy (It was the previous owners first attempt)
Bolt doesnt hold open
So the following parts have been purchased as well:
ML crazy jet 180mm barrel
Replacement bolt carrier
Replacement bolt hold open parts
Krylon
Nail varnish remover
Rsa style sling point

Among a variety of other bits and bobs, finally managed to grab some of these puppies for the NGRS (not long after conceding I didn’t think I’d ever get any and picked up some EPMs... such is life).

I've been wanting an MP7 for a long time but the money never seems worth the final product so I want to do this too. The we ones break so often that they turn up on the forums for peanuts pretty regularly.

In My
I have had a WE Mp7 for a while and it has been pretty reliable despite having a lot of rounds through it. I'm not really sure where the 'they break a lot' vibe has come from, but in my experience they are just as durable as the Marui, and when they do break something (and all full auto GBBRs will break somthing eventually) the parts support is much better. The bits that tends to wear first are the bolt catch and the trigger sears as they are made of finest pot metal. Personally I'd replace with stock parts. RATECH steel bits are available, but require time and effort and some careful filing to get to work nicely and given the cost aren't worth the effort.
In my opinion the reason they come up for sale so often is they shoot like crap out of the box, nothing that isn't too difficult to fix, but it needs some work to shoot well. A couple of things to look at:
1. Out of the box they are covered in tones of shipping grease that needs to come off. Clean them out with some engine degreaser and then re-grease with a light spray of silicone over the bolt and a smear of grease on the runners and the gas efficiency will be much better (yes you still get some cool down, but you will at least get through the whole mag).
2. Before you judge it too harshly put 1000 or so gentle rounds through it (semi or short bursts) and then clean and re-grease it. The parts need a while to lap together so they run smoothly over each other.
3. The hop is totally rubbish as the hop arm fowls on the hop window in the inner barrel so you can't add much hop. You need to either file the bit of the arm thinner or enlarge the hop window (or some combination of both) to be able to apply more hop. I haven't done it on mine, but a crazy jet inner barrel may also fix the issue as they generally have a larger hop window.

I agree with what you’re saying @Cyberlawyer but even fully fettled they are not a patch on the TM.
Its the size of the TM that’s irritating.

You might have missed out on the rare re-stocking of Umarex/VFC MP7 gen 2's across multiple sites. I managed to grab the last one on defcon airsoft because I know once these are gone they will not be back for at least another year. The Gen2's are sold out in just hours or days typically.

I keep going back and forth on the VFC ones. Are they really that much better than the WE to be worth the extra cost?
That's kind of what I meant. They're so disappointing ootb that people don't see the point in putting the effort in and cut their losses

I'd imagine so. Every review I've seen has praised the out of box performance; Laser accuracy, responsive trigger, quick change spring, light weight and accurate size to it's real steel counterpart. I'm expecting this thing to operate on a comparable level to my Ronin TK45c which out of the box is probably my favourite AEG. I'll find out when it arrives this week though.

That sounds pretty good but I'll wait for the long term reviews. I heard nothing but stories of the first gens breaking, nozzles, tappet plates and magazine followers.

Ordered on May 19th so I assume I'll be waiting a while then. I'll give it a week and drop them a message.

Me too. That's what stopped me from buying them and waiting for Gen2 Re-stocks, which is almost never.
And when they actually are in stock, they're sold out the second you refresh the page.

Double Eagle M904G , it’s the one with the factory fitted mosfet so you can set your own trigger pressure and firing modes (double tap , 1/2/3/4/5rd burst) only had a ‘wee’ play with it so far but first impressions it punching WELL above its weight for the cost !
