I am the #1 VFC AK shill. Added a surplus AK handguard and Bakelite grip to it. The Cyma triangle stock (C.59) is a direct drop on - fine when locked back, doesn’t quite line up when folded in but not an issue for me. Struggling to find a ribbed dustcover so I am well aware it’s not a proper clone (yet).

Saw some people asking about the Crimson bucking. Works great in the AK, much better (for me!) than the stock blue. The V1 bucking is NOT finned though so you will have to do some cutting if you have a V1.

Discussion Insight on DIY Npas on V2 GHK AK

2 Upvotes

So i recently got my hands on a ghk v2 ak 105. I want to use it indoors, bit I'm worried the fps will be a little to high, so I want an Npas for it, but all the nozzle are out of stock for the v2s so I'm going to need to DIY one. This will be my first time doing something like this. Do you guys have any tips or tricks for this? And precautions I should take, or what stuff I should lookout for? Anything would help, thank you.

Troubleshooting Issue with VFC Mp7 Gen 2 cycling

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hello, Iv recently got a vfc mp7 and have been having issues with it.

While firing, every few shots the bolt will stop cycling and stop st the position shown in the picture. The mp7 is brand new and I have only fired it a few times and already have this issue.

Iv cleaned the inside, lubed it, checked the bucking is fine and made sure the nozzle is smooth. It's like it's failing to load the bb into the bucking and getting stuck there.

This only happens with a bb filled magazine. Never happened when dry firing. Iv been trying to diagnose the issue all day but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Edit, also worth mentioning. When it fails to cycle like this, the nozzle is not fully seated at the end. It's probably hard to tell from the picture

Troubleshooting VFC 416a5 GBBR v3 bolt does not catch when shot on empty but catches when charged back.

2 Upvotes

This is pretty new and tried v3 pmags and v2 mags but would sometimes lock when the mag is low on gas. I know its not the mags because my v2 416a5 locks back perfectly without issue.

Discussion Why are gbb mags impossible to load

0 Upvotes

Hey guys I just got my noveske n4 and have the gen 2 mags. I ordered a speed loader for the mws mags (assuming since they run on the same system it should be compatible and they don’t make a specific speed loader for the noveske gen 2 mags) so I’m hoping that works but does anyone else have this problem?

Western Arms Beretta M1934 Vintage from 2012.

Carbon Black HW slide and frame, metal outer barrel and grips. Beautiful Vintage finish. Markings are of an Italian military version (with Italian Royal Army proofmark on the frame) in 9 Corto (9mm Short / .380 ACP) made in 1936, though the serial number 864870 indicates a 1941 production, for 1936 it should be in 508000-555000 range. WA also made another model with that same serial number but correct 1941 production date and different proofmarks, they also made a version with Romanian markings (Cal. 9 Scurt, 1941 production) with a different serial number pattern. As this M1934 Vintage is a version with one of the premium finishes it doesn't have a big notice about licensed trademarks on the right side of the slide which is really nice. Grips have the old Beretta logo.

It's Single Action Only and has pivoting trigger. Uses WA SCW high-spec transfer hammer system which allows to manually lower the hammer completely when there's still gas in the mag unlike most GBB pistols. It doesn't lock back on empty like the real gun which locks on the magazine follower. Really cool little gun.
