Well, it looks like there are a few small bugs with the M16A2. But I'm sure in short time, KWC will work those out. All in all, it sounds like a pretty well rounded piece of machinery. I'm curious to see the difference in fps between green gas and CO2.

Hey LazaruS, it sounds like you have a broken seal somewhere in there. If you trust yourself, you could take it apart and inspect all the seals along the path of the gas to see where it's escaping at. If you have any doubt about what you're doing, don't do it. It's not worth making it worse. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry

Check to see that you don't have a BB or some dirt stuck in the barrel.

Paco posted this some time back in another forum.

"What you are doing is adding hop up to the gun. What you will need is a dremel tool, or anything you can cut a slot in a brass barrel with. And a #83 o-ring dim 1/2x5/16x3/32. When you take the inner barrel out of the gun, you will notice that there a two o-rings on it infront of the large e-clip that holds the barrel spring in place. Remove the two o-rings, then the e-clip and slide off the spring. You will notice that the two o-rings are about the same thickness as the #83 o-ring. Take your dremel tool and cut a slot in the barrel, about 1mm up from the groove where the large e-clip locks in. Make sure the groove you cut is about the same thickness as the #83 o-ring. What I did was to use the cut-off wheel and cut down a bit, then work it forward to make the slot wider, you have to remember that the depth of the cut will be your hop up adjustment. So cut small at first, you can always go back later. Put it all back together, try it out, use .25 bbs. (better for outdoors anyway) I did this on mine as I had a extra barrel, and got I would say 50 feet more of effective range. Plus it shoots flatter, meaning that when the bb leaves the barrel it stays pretty flat. Near the end of its path it gets kind of wild every once in a while. If your o-ring wears out just go buy another! Presto new hop up. You can always try different o-rings and see what works best. Good luck! I will try this with my YE MP5 as well!"

Hey Laz.. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about..  i just bought victor3's m16a2 carbine, and after he left, it started doing that to me as well. there actually is a piston that goes back and forth inside that part, and the problem is it is not traveling back and forth between shots like it is supposed to, its stuck in the backwards position. not sure how to fix that at the moment.

It needs to be lubricated.  That's what that hole in the fake bolt is for.  Spray some silicone lubricante in there and stand the gun on it's buttstock for an hour or so and try it again.

After taking it down ot every part that I could get to strip, and lubing up every valve i could find, i realized that i dont like this gun. my fix? ebay.

more permanant fix? get a new gun, and take care of it from day one, instead of used from a user who didnt necessarily handle w/ care.

Nuke, I am very sorry if you are having probs with it. That happened to me when I first got it, I lubed it up and it didn't happen again. I only used the gun twice and cleaned and lubed after both uses. It ALWAYS worked flawlessly for me. I really do not want there to be any bad feelings here.

Hey Nuke, if you're going to let it go I'd like to buy the mags off you.  Let me know.

No worries Victor. I  know you wouldn't sell me something that you personally wouldnt use and approve of. You don't strike me as that kinda guy when I've met you. I just dont have the pacience at the current moment to learn the gun's firing mechanism in its entirety, so I am just selling it again in preference over a AEG, who's gearboxes I know fairly well. So I'm gunna be getting a CA m4t and seeing how that fares.

John: I'll sell the mags, if the auction on its last day doesn't hit the mark that I am hoping for.

Harley, I don't recall if this version of KWC rifle has an internal gas reservoir (the solid stock version does, I might look into that), but have you tried 134a in this gun yet? I might purchase one, and am looking into an external CO2 rig (I have a few LP regs lying around from my paintball days) with a 9oz tank. If I were to run out of CO2, I'd have to have something to fill in, hence the 134a. Green Gas is too expensive for me right now <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>. Could you possibly try this out and let me know? I would really appreciate it. If you don't have the internal reservoir and can't use the Green Gas rig, therefore you can't try this, that's fine. Never hurts to ask, though. Thanks!

The collapsable stock unit has a resevior in the buffer tube, most likely the same volume as the solid stock M16.  You charge it through the end of the buffer tube .  As soon as I get a chance I'll chrono it with green gas and let you know what I come up with.

Harley, while you're at it, is there any way you can chrono it with Duster(134a for you perfectionists out there) as well? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
