Yea I guess, mine was butchered by the previous owner and I had my work cut out for me.
Originally had a LDT nylon GB in it that was fucked the screws had been boogered from being in and out many times. I threw that shit in the bin, wouldn’t even mount the motor the nut seats were chopped out. Ended up fitting a new APS Silveredge in bought off a fellow member. Bit of clearancing had to be done.
Then redoing all the outer and inner barrel, t piece, modified the A1 stock to accept 3000Mah brick 3s, redid all the FSB and fitted a decent A2 ish flash hider. As yeah never got around to getting hands on a 3 prong. Modifying the magwell to accept any Gen8 and Gen 9 mags which are slightly larger than the gen 8 mags and hand fitted the lockup so it was tight and right.
I’m looking into making a 3 prong… they’re only US$10 in the states, but I’m not game to go to the trouble of importing something with Brownells marked as the sender… Like I said it’s a dead easy turn and mill job.
Ya gotta love the M16 stocks for battery storage… the only other one I’ve got that comes anywhere near it is the MP5 A2 stock on my LDT.
Well that’s the issue, the store that sold em is gone now, nobody else is sellin it, nor the other ones I had seen like the 57 or glock, there is just the trash plastic ones around now
aye I found a sig neat.
But yeah once again mine is the only one. It’s a tricky situation, cause part of me wants to trade it off to you, but I have nothing to fill that slot for me.
It’s a but fucky now, I’m sure you could find a way to fix it, the mag stuggles to stay seated, and the action lacks tension so jolting it can prop it up a bit.
The whole thing works off the trigger so that doesnt matter for anything but details, the mag problem might just be user error.
It sucks they stop sellin those things so fast.
I think we need an industry here makin that shit, full metal imitation arms ejecting shells, with the trigger driving everything.
Like can you imagine an m1 garand running like that mmmm.
And they dont cost anywhere near the bullshit prices of the full metal gel blasters.
Still have to swap out the M4 grip, of course… and I made the steel outer barrel deliberately shorter… always found the standard one a touch too long, which made hopups problematic with a 500mm inner barrel.
theyre out of stock, but if WATINT do get a resupply, this can comes with a real nice 3-prong inside that the can quick-detaches from. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that out.
Hey.
I’m actually home today, growing some older blue gels( larger)
I’ll see how they feed and perform…
It is a funky unit, obviously a bit forward heavy.
Sometimes the mag doesn’t fall out / eject smoothly…
I’ve gently used a black of wood , to open the mag well up a bit.
That, and free up the gel retention pin, on top of the mag.
That helps to push the mag out, on release…
I have a stack of the Double Bell ones, having not tried the rest for myself I can’t speak to those… I bought the only shell that was available at the time.
The DB shells are okay. They work. they can fit 6 or so gels in the holes if you want lots of gels effect, they need to be large enough to friction fit or they just fall out though.
The catch is if the holes are full of gels unless you are within 5 meters during a game they probably wont feel the gels unless they happen to get one of the few that come out with some zip about them, most don’t.
My favoured effect is 2 gels in each hole, and push them down to the bottom. The still get decent distance and have decent power so players feel them and call it but its still a short range blunderbuss. 1 gel in each hole has much higher power, but 2-3 is a nice power to gel amount.
I had one of six ship missing a bearing, bought some spares (pack of 100 from aliexpress for a few dollars) and it works again.
I am told the 40max shells work well, but need to make some cardboard stoppers or 3d print them. On my to try list at some point.
A mate had a heap of the red LDT shells, and they went well, weren’t available when I was buying though.
My experience: The Double bell grenade won’t work with E&C M203. THe 40Max is the best, easy to load, stopper is easy to make from cardboard, load more gels than any others. THe LDT one is expensive.
Like I said it’s a dead easy turn and mill job.
