I'm still up in the air about the EBR kit... I may get it for the hell of it, and swap out whenever the mood strikes me.

There heavy beasts to be lugging around

I don't doubt it. I wouldn't lug around both bodies at the same time. But choose one on the day and go for it.

The WE M14 is a mix of everything I like. It's a long barrel, large mag size (large gas capacity), and has automatic if need be.

Just need to watch out for the trigger box.

Seen that wonder if RA-TECH will bring a better one out now there doing other parts .

I love the sound of the new charging handle I'd rack that all day and still be grinning

:P

Innuendo aside, I do love the sound. The clank of solid steel give a reassurance of reliability I think. I'd much prefer it over the mild thud of pot metal.

Absolutely just need a steel fire selector and I'd buy one

ElSniperino

I hear the real steel fire selector fits, at least the lock-out version does. Understandably, the fire selector switch is hard to purchase by itself.

Well if you were stateside you wouldn't have a problem but unfortunately for us in Europe ITAR (international trafficking arms something or other) it is very very bad to ship anything to do with a RS firearm even the likes I springs, pins etc

You might get away with a RS foregrip or rail covers but that's it.

ElSniperino

Well it's even hard to get it in the States, as the select fire version is not allowed anymore. You can get a real steel version of the selector lock more easily.

Either way. It's probably possible to go to someone who has a CNC machine to make one for a decent fee.

If you mean hefty then yes you are correct you would need a cad file of the component tho good luck tracking that down

In any case I wouldn't dare attempt to use any real steel component or accessory here in Ireland as firearms law is too shady to suss out what is and isn't considered a component for example I believe it states that if it contributes to the function of a firearm it's is therefore a firearms component which means without license or permission it is illegal to be in possession of said component.

Now that fire selector is clearly a firearms component and obviously illegal but parts like iron sights stocks grips etc they are more accessories then components as they do not interact with the firing mechanism in any way but it could be argued that they can be used to inhance the usability of a firearm and thus be classified as components.

Now that's drawn from discussions that took place many moons ago so I could be entirely wrong either way I won't be purchasing any RS tach

I get you. As unfortunate as it may be not not steel-ify all the metal parts, I'd prefer to stay on the good side of the law. :pac:

Though, if RA-Tech was listening, I'd appreciate it if they would do it.

*Thoroughly hopes they're listening.*

Had a look around for reviews and the such. They seem pretty legit. I'd be confident enough ordering from them if it was me.

Ya see I did that aswell and all google spat back at me was website comparison sites… I don't think google likes me or my devices…

Anyway I would hazard a guess that they are Asia based and ran by G&P themselves judging by the fact that everying I in dollars and pretty cheep compared to likes of ehobbyasia wgc un company and redwolf so… 1-2month waiting time and 23% tax…

For the World War 2 enthusiasts, KWA has this coming out:

ALSO: For the HPA crowd:

ElSniperino

Alright, so the spring for the loading nozzle has given up the ghost. Pretty much zero return with a mag in.

Going to get that one set I linked earlier I think. See if that holds up any better.

Jsmurff

That sucks dude speaking of maintenance I realised my WA hammer is quite beat to hell because of the inokatsu bolt that's in it.

You might not be able to see much but if you could run your finger across it it would feel like the world roughest chees grater

God no lol shs steel is utter crap! I've heard nothing but bad things about the likes of shs and tsc when it comes to the magna system I am planning on installing a G&P burst kit but their fairly expensive so will try and get what's left out of the stock WA internals

ElSniperino

Hadn't heard much about SHS. I may avoid them in the future then.

I remember my problem with the WE hammer in the GBBR was the pin that kept the roller in place kept coming out and jamming the gun.

Ended up fixing it with some glue, a paperclip and a cigarette filter...

Jsmurff

Can you make explosives out chewing gum too lol I understand the glue and paper clip but not the filter

ElSniperino

Filter was to buff out the space for the paperclip and to help the glue soak in to make it a solid seal.

Ah clever must make note of that how's that fix holding up

Jsmurff

Found this earlier this morning thought it was pretty nifty

Leviathan556 was one of the first channels I watched in relation to GBBRs he has some good vids an great tips be forewarned though his builds aren't for the feint hearted as they are quite expensive infact you probably buy a real steal equivelant for the same money

It held up fine for a number of days worth of gaming until I got the replacement for it.

Am I allowed say I don't like the tan on it?

Because I don't like the tan on it.

Come fight me, bro. :pac:

ElSniperino

An a similar note, I am seriously tempted to find a CNC machine or something somewhere where I can just throw a part I have at them, tell them I want it made from steel instead of the pot metal or aluminium it comes as, and then rain the cash necessary on them to do it.

Or is that a bit too dramatic?

The throwing and the raining, not the part making. =P

I can help you with this however i require your banking details first.....

Yeah i forgot i made the chassis tan didnt mean to do that but the plan would be to krylon camo it up but start with tan on black till i get stupid enough to spray €2K worth of kit
