THE RATTLER WORKS! Bit of wearing in and a couple replacement parts later and I'm finally ready to get testing it. Inconvenient but sorted. FOR RU-vid: THIS IS A TOY. IT CANNOT BE MODIFIED TO FIRE ACTUAL REAL BULLETS.
What other VFC rifles do you own, and how do they compare to this? I have the rattler but am considering adding to the collection and want to reuse the mags :)
I have the xm177, m16 and Olympic arms PDW. They are exceptional. Far less issues than the rattler because of the simpler buffer tube recoil system also much more gas efficient and are pretty reliable in cold weather if you stick to semi auto, minus the m16, that struggled in the cold, but I think that was down to the “chrome” finish of the bolt carrier being more susceptible to cool down effects. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7SXil2zhCys.htmlsi=NA8TMzmf06eCge5l
Good question! Something I forgot to mention. No I took it out as it seemed to put more pressure on the tolerances of everything. Now that it’s kinda broken in I’m gunna put it back and see what happens
@@heavymetaljacketairsoft ah ok. I’ve taken mine out for now to be safe. Regarding your suppressor issue, silly question, but have you tried clamping the flash hider in place while trying to remove the suppressor? I faced a similar issue with mine when I used Loctite to ‘time’ the flash hider, so that when I attached the suppressor, the markings would be in line, ocd I know lol. Regarding VMAGS, I’ve heard they do fit but require ‘breaking in’ or a little filing. Hoping to get some for it but I’ve also heard they cause feeding issues.
@@xOMastaPOx mags wise..yes that’s correct, I’m unsure at this point if I want to risk the mags not fitting my other rifle as sturdily as they do. I’d want to wear in the magwell but I’m also not sure yet if I want to do that either haha. With the suppressor.. I’ve not given it much more force than hands yet as I don’t want to risk more damage to the finish. I over tighten it getting the markings to line up too haha 😂 we share some OCD. Lol. But yeah, if I want the og flash hider on show enough I’ll force it off with a bit more tooling.
lol. This is my only VFC model (2 GHKs and 2 WE ‘starter’ gbbrs), so the mags ‘wearing’ in for just this 1 isn’t much of an issue for me. Regarding the flash hider, just put cloth over the base where you’d put a AR tool or spanner, then use vice-grips or a vice to hold it in place while removing the suppressor
