VFC M249 Thread

[Spartan09]

reached out to them already but no response.

Give it a few days.  I have emailed VFC about parts to replace the bits that border force broke, and it usually takes an average of 4 days to get a reply

Just put a few tracers down the garden after tweaking the hop slightly, fun factor up to 11 ! ?

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.

@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

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

Nice,  currently looking for one myself, preferably UK based given my ongoing struggles with border force.

And I forgot to upload a pic of my beast as I said I would...   Will dig it out tonight when I get home from work

Mine came from SIXmm in Hong kong. Straight through with no issues. Took just over a week.

Quick pic of it on the bench, I'll do proper ones tomorrow

Quick pics on my living room floor (rug needs a hoover. Got to buy new hoover after motor burned out)

Got a Theta Optics red dot on top, and a smoke generator suppressor on the front, with an Acetech Brighter R tracer unit fitted behind the smoke generator.

Had to modify the suppressor by replacing the original fore end cap with one from a boneyard Spitfire tracer to give the needed clearance, plus removing the rear cap of the Acetech in order to fit the tracer unit in the suppressor casing.

Gives an impressive effect, and certainly turns heads at sites.  Don't have a video of the smoke effect... closest I have is an action shot from a game day after firing, as the smoke is being dissipated by the breeze

[1st commando]

I love the smoke generators combined with flash device.

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

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

What weight BB's are we all using ?  Did a bit of experimenting with the hop yesterday in a mate's orchard. Hop fully on sent .25's heading for the moon , so plenty of ability to handle heavier BB's. I'm thinking of switching to .28's next game as a compromise between weight and cost. The .30's that I generally run in all my GBBR's and pistols will start getting expensive in the 249 although I could be tempted to try 'em .

I have set mine for 0.3g
