Well I believe the hidden Lizard said he'll have something of a estimate this week! So we'll just have to wait to hear from him. Im so anxious. It better come soon though, because I keep changing the way I want my gun to look in my head over and over, and its horrible lol

I know what you mean.  I feel like I am going through some kind of withdraw but I don't even have the gun yet. LMAO

Im going to commit. I can't decide to keep the PTS parts, replace with RS magpul parts, or put rails on, then what rails to put on, then i think it'll cost too much money and I want to buy mags. TOO MUCH STRESS. Ive had so much time on my hands that I made a detailed note about what to buy for the LM4, and why it needed, where to get it from, and how much it'll be. SO much time on my hands!

Here's GreatWatermelon's site. He's a mod here, so other than Spiggy, Radix or Allizard, or any other KWA employee, I would trust his word. I don't like his word, but I trust it. Heck. I don't think it's HIS word anyways. Stupid ATF...

And anyways, I needed a functional M4, so I purchased a KM4 SR7 (as my SR10 is out of commission right now) and an ATP. I'm also about to purchase the Hurricane M17 upgrade kit and two extra high flow valves on the pro shop for it. So I could use a couple more months to re-save up for it. Hopefully getting a job at one of the airsoft shops around here. Gotta call a couple more places...

What is wrong with your SR10?
And what area do you live in GA?

[apacifico3]

The wire harness has shorted out a couple batteries now, so I'm looking for a replacement KWA harness or the AWS Raptor FET. Also, a screw-hole where the grip screws into the gearbox is stripped so the grip isn't the most secure. It's not an issue that one would buy a new gun over, but I had been eyeing an SR7 for a while now and will be content with two AEGs in addition to my GBBs.

I'm just outside the Atlanta area, over by Stone Mountain/Lilburn/Snellville. I'm most likely going to KSU in the fall for my junior year of college, so I'll be moving out to Kennesaw sooner or later.

Maybe you are not filling correctly.  Some can of GG needs that perfect angle to fill correctly.

[smokinloon]

i got it, turns out it was the silicone oil. i striped it and cleaned it and relubed it with teflon oil instead and its not mised a shot or vented at all for the last 6 mags after inital aplication.

[gcw360]

How long are you filling the mags for?

[smokinloon]

10 to 12 seconds, perfect seal to. i know its filling because i hear the gas leaving the canister

[gcw360]

Try 20-30 seconds and if that doesn't work try a new can.  It could be the mag but sometimes it's the green gas can itself.

[smokinloon]

no its working now. just swiched to a different type of lube and no problems

[gcw360]

Cool!

[smokinloon]

i appreciate the help guys. 10 mags and not a single misfire or vent (and mines a first run plastic spring guide) instead of silicone i used dupont teflon silicone lubricant (rubber safe) on everything but the mag, its a thinner oil so it seeps in to joints but it doesnt fling off easialy. iv been using it in the bearings of rc cars for a while with much sucess and now it seems to be the trick for my ATP aswell.

The anti freezing, sub zero temp thing seems to be true because it will still shoot frosty. i havent blatently tried to freeze it out but i do notice improvment. im going to keep running it and let you know how it does long term but i dont expect any damage since iv been using it on ceramic coated rubber sealed bearings for a while.
