About the lower cracking: I haven't measured it exactly, but these two steel tubes on recoil rods separating two spring (the short and long one) seems to be a quite long so that it can cause the bolt carrier not slapping the buffer "pad" but the actual top slapping the lower top part. I shortened them a little bit just to have a peace of mind.
Are there any modifications needed on the gas block/hop unit for the Legacy if I were to replace the handguard and the barrel with a shorter one + integral suppressor?
I'm using the standard length barrel with the surpressor on mine . If you shorten the barrel you might have to lose the ability to adjust hop via the gas block unless you also shorten that rod
Nice video. I bought one of these and must have received a lemon as after the initial firing it couldn't cycle a magazine at room temperature. Do I spot another Mepro connoisseur? Good choice! 🙂
Great vid! Thank you, good to hear some of the myths surrounding the APFG MCXs dispelled. Although I don’t own either (yet!) they are on my list. Really interested in a deep dive on your KS1, shame you’ve got to swap out the very convenient hop system, what options are there? The Captain America hop system? Is there any way to mod the stock rail to look like the KS1? Filler etc?
I have both the MCX and the MPX. The MCX is very bad and the MPX is excellent! Both look very similar but the MCX & VFC M4 magazines combination is a disaster. The APFG MCX is a money pit, stay away from it and buy the APFG MPX instead. VFC designed unique mags for the MPX and that's why it works.
Great vid.. very enlighting.. I have 2 VFCs.. one MPX and an HK416A5 V3, both with oem nozzle with NPAS. Unfortunately I cannot get them to shoot consistently..first shoot very good , second and third fall 10m after, fouth anf fifth 10m to the right..then its ok again!! its very frustrating..Any Ideas?
I do find that npas do act a bit odd if they are operating at either end of their adjustment range . If you are having to have it almost fully closed to achieve your power then it's worth shimming the valve so that you can get that power in the middle of the npas adjustment range instead
Looking for a gbb rifle that runs of hpa using aeg mags. only thing i can find out the box is TIPPMANN M4 V2 but thats about 3-4 years old. I really wanted a spear in burnt bronze but ive only seen that in aeg. then the toxicant gbb mcx spear if full metal. whut do guru?
Yeah I'm afraid what you are looking for doesn't really exist. Tipmann was the only HPA rifle that had blowback . What you could do is get the VFC M249 and a HPA kit for it
