@Regamuffini forgot to ask if the nozzle is moving freely inside the bolt carrier? ie when you pull on the nozzle and release, does that t spring back into the carrier?

Yeah checked this, it moved , doesn’t return great I won’t like compared to my mws’s that said I took it apart snd the return spring still looks like it should

Just thought I’d put it out there, new nozzle and hop up chamber, it’s all working now, plus tested on red gas well abbey red, kicks like a mule and cycles the bolt much better

That’s great to hear bud. As for recoil, more stock than ghk, but I’ve yet to try the mws.

The mws is more of a snappier system, the 
we , vfc all kick harder

Anyone know any issues in regards to bolt lock fix, tried the old AEG shin either side of the catch didn’t work though

Try filing a coup millimetres off of the lug. This will help the bolt release sit higher.

Lovely I’ll give this a whirl, did you do this and still have the shims installed?

Yes. I forgot to put it in the earlier post.

Cheers bud, as always ?

WE L85A2.  All stock internals at the moment, other than an LFS disc.  

Externally, replaced the polymer (plastic) foregrip with the Daniel Defence rail (Madbull, I think), and added the top picatinni rail.  It's great fun to skirmish!

Annoyingly, the dust cover catch has departed the upper receiver, so it's always open now. I need to see if someone can 3D print the part, as you can't get them aftermarket ?

Have a look at KYAirsoft, they stock pretty much every part for the WE range, they just might have one. Love my L85 GBBR it's great to use.

They do - need to grab some bits from them, but they don't appear to do this part as normally it's pressed to the upper receiver.

No, it's the catch on the receiver that's come off

KYAIRSOFT do the bare upper part, Part 1. Easy to strip your old and replace with this.

I know. However I resent having to buy an upper receiver (plus postage) because a 50p piece of sheet metal wasn't properly attached in the first place. 

I'm going to ask around and see if someone can scan and 3D print the missing bit instead. 

 

[Jacket2122]

I agree mate, it's a pain when something little requires the replacement of a big part. I just thought I'd give you a steer to the replacement.

On the plus side its very realistic, the real steel is constructed with the same 50p sheet metal haha.

Just an update on my experience with the angry gun mpa nozzle for the m4. I started having problems while skirmishing with it. Although the fps is stable, it started sticking in the bolt carrier. I replaced the oring at the rear of the nozzle which helped. However I started getting problems with the nozzle coming out of the front of the bolt carrier. It seems that it is slightly off spec ie smaller than the oem, which seemed to wear the side nozzle guide somehow, resulting in the guide popping out and due to the smaller size, the nozzle would run  past the upper guide and jam in the receiver. This has happened one time too many. 
I have now reverted to the Ra tech magnetic npas with PLASTIC nozzle and this seems to be working absolutely as advertised. I have also replaced the guides in the rif In question with the steel Ra tech parts from Milspec Solutions. My other m4 is running fine with oem nozzle and white lfs disc.
Disappointingly the angry gun mpa nozzle just seems to be off spec so i would now after about six months of use and issues chin it off. Though I will keep the return spring for spares.

My L119 absolutly hated the mpa nozzle, had all sorts of feeding issues with it. Reverted to stock nozzle and NPAS

Hello gbb knowledgeable's... 

Question. It's a warm summers day and you are running a WE gbbr. If you have fitted an Npas to bring the fps to a safe limit and run black gas what would happen? Nothing of note, it kicks harder, it blows up?
