I purchased both the WELLS PDW9 and M4 CQB when they were released, and all I remember was that they fed terribly and made some REALLY interesting noises, like piston slap, rattling gears and spring bounce kinda stuff!
I do have a video somewhere of testing the CQB with some glow gels and swearing at everything “RokSolid” style! 
I’ll try and find it and link below 
Sounds like a trashcan full of shrapnel! 
Gotta a lil shorty Wells CQB myself that I did a makeover on, Was going for the HEAT Val Kilmore bank job look.
Yes it is registered too Should of seen the look on SAPOL they were loving it, ah fk just got out of the Army this is cool as, is it auto yip yapping away. It was hilarious 
Doctor, that is why you replace all that shit piston, piston head, cylinder, piston as soon as you open the box. Spring everyting then they ok
The wells alloy head, if you do your measurements on the cylinder and know your V2 as boxes like I cut my teeth on. I dove straight in and fk your gen 8’s and 9’s. I like a challenge.
Plus the heap of shit I bought off an ex forum member. It was supposed to be a M16A4 but it was hammered dog shit. Had the famous Warinterest V2 box in it that was fucked. Bin. Put an APS in, wells cylinder head to get the extra 2mm for gell ball. Still rocks today. Took some work though
Got taught by a very smart ex forum member. But anyway measure twice cut once. Lay off the hammers with blasters
Those WELLS were just purchased as “collectors items” to just add to the pile of every other model Gelblaster that I was gathering for nothing more than trying to one of every new Gelbaster released.
Like many Blasters that I purchased, they were simply taken out of the box and tested through the Chrono, then cleaned up and put straight back into the box as another “brand new” collector piece.
It was only my purposely chosen models that I actually modified for regular use, along with the customers stuff as well obviously 
I always liked the platform, hated the gearbox. I fitted a full metal CYMA gearbox into a Well CQB shell… from memory it took a bit of clearing with a dremel but I did get it chooching. It was a little pearler.
A damn sight better than the horrendous War Interest nylon box it came with, at any rate. Mind you, that shitbox WI went back into it before I gave it away.
I’ll never forget the line up for the Wells Nylon CQB and MRT at the local M4A1. It was hundreds deep around the block as they put it on special for $99. On a Monday morning, they flat sold out 700 that day by 10am. It was madness haha.
I like tinkering to get things as I’m a shooter, not a wall starer. Plus not allowed to do display items. Must be locked up. Registered all that jazz.
Pretty easy to make the Wells robust when they come out with the Nylon models after the clear pieces of shit, G36 included was brittle see through acrylic crap. No good for use and abuse.
Must admit after the M4A1 sale went on there was a shit ton of people ranting how crap they were as they just blast them out the box. Ah, no they need upgrading for game days. Which part… ALL OF IT
All I can think of with wells is how many gearboxes I replaced!
At least with my “gearbox savers” you can at least get them reliably doing something better than they did now!
They weren’t to bad out of the box IF you got one that was assembled alright, which was probably 30/70 chance… 70% being getting one back in warranty!
Grab an LDX gearbox and gen8 mags and they are far less regretable!
I know you get it, I had a Wednesday built one.
Monday and Fk all Friday built ones ehh 
Tamiya silver or gunmetal on the blade, black or brown on the haft.
I’ve got a cold steel training knife, went with gunmetal on the blade. It’s polyproylene, not rubber but Tamiya should stick to yours okay.
mine don’t have “training” imprinted on it
Good to see it came through @shadow187 thought that should work, 
I’m just happy to see that you took my advice and was able to import this cool bit of kit for your young fella! 
I beat ya with a 20" barrel and an APS back when I was allowed to test in my backyard.
Finally got time to dig old photos up.
Wells V2 alloy cylinder head, 1.18mm AG sproing, SHS piston, POM piston head, pretty standard nato and accurate. 7.3mm ID SS IB. Non ported 72mm cylinder. APS V2 gearbox still in one piece
321… that’s choochin’ nicely.
got a wells ak74u and a bunch of parts for it but kinda gave up when it wasnt a bolt on operation.
handguard doesnt fit ill need to file down quite a bit.
this would be fine on its own but the front sight post doesn’t fit either so ive got to figure out how to get that to bind well enough without drooping the barrel (ive got a pbs-1 to fit onto it and it goes onto the front sight post threads). im really not sure what to do next hence the 2 months just sitting on it.
Hmm is that the GBB C02/green gas one?
Seems like a lot of custom work would need to be done to get it complete.
Weren’t exactly cheap either.
Is back to original an option rather than going the full custom mod work if you want it usable 
Time for a new J12 gearbox. The brass plate that provides power to the mag has split so no power to the contacts. Guess I’ll have a bunch of J12 gearbox parts and more ideas than talent
Shame you can’t buy that terminal plate as a spare part. 
Plenty of the early J11s with the old spring terminals could do with them.
Can you not get positive battery terminals and just cut them down to fit? Or replace them with the spring ones?
Actually how would you manage to crack one of those to begin with?
