beater pistols, exploding chambers and springs.. oh my (m945 problem)

[Danke]

For KSC parts go to KWA USA. for that pistol look here, http://store.kwausa.com/m945series.aspx

They do ship to Canada by CCard, they know not to send frames, full guns and the other no go items.

About the only thing it seems they can't help with is Glock parts since there's no KWA model of that one.

thanks man. though its a fail on kwa's part.. . . they're out... fml

any equivalences?

You can flip through the parts/exploded views for a diagram.

And just like any website at times theirs isn't up to date. Go to here, http://www.kwausa.com/support/ and start a ticket with what you're after.

I really have to say they're about the most accessible folks I've run across in the world of airsoft manufactures. I've talked to staff on international forums, they've talked to me via email directly to and they've phoned me when my order was ready to finalize the shipping details.

thanks so much man! + 1 interwebz for you

When I saw the word "beater pistol" in the title, I immediately remembered a recent GBB sale thread by Thenooblord.

I laughed when I opened the thread to see TNL defending himself.

[Shell Shock]

well, i might have been able to solve this. depending on the next email i get... i got to go to class.. i hope i get that email by classes end.

cheers

how could I have no negative feedback if I sold everybody shitty guns? Im sure SOMEBODY would have said something by now
I dont SCAM anybody, im really getting tired of people who have never even seen one of my guns telling other people that they are shit
I had that M945 for months, gamed it many times, and I gamed it this sunday and was shooting it on monday, and took a video of it firing as well, so how exactly is that me selling a broken gun? Im not in control of when a part fails, i cant tell "ohh that spring looks like it feels like breaking" so you can all go to hell, cept the people who are actually helping the guy find the parts, thank to you guys

it is not me trying to scam a guy just cause a wear and tear part fails right after i sold it

thats wear and tear, not negligence or damage

you've had negative trader rating, how they keep getting taken off your rating I don't know but I've seen them. your not fooling anyone except for the poor bastards who don't know about you yet and find out the hard way keep spilling crocodile tears it's not working you've put too many people through your crap for them to be honest mistakes you do scam people, the ole "it was fine when I had it" line only works so many time's you've beaten that horse into a fine powder.

your not worth the time to go back and dig up your multitude of threads and posts displaying your dishonesty and deals gone bad, but I'm sure your pal Darkangel will be by shortly to show you again I'm sure he has it on a wordfile by now all he'll have to do is copy and paste...

[Thenooblord]

ive gotten ONE negative, ONE!!! and it was from kid, and he reverted it on his own, so you can go spread your lies somewhere else
the deal with KID is the ONE AND ONLY sale ive been involved with that was not smooth as butter, you guys either have very good imaginations, or hte more likely just like sharks with blood in the water, dont care what it is, they just wanna tear shit up

[DarkAngel]

Im actually in a mellow mood, Ive had non stop headache for the last week and its finally going away, so this is about the nicest and most civil post your gonna get from me regarding this topic.

You all know at this point how the community and I feel about TNL's gun repairs/sales.
I think theres some merit in his attempt to help the buyer resolve the problem however, there is a definate pattern and history.

If it was one of my guns, i would offer to have it shipped back to me, repair it and ship it back (Hint Hint TNL). However the support he offers with his "products" are his business, and nothing I say will "make" anyone do anything.

Would I buy one of his guns? Not if my life depended on it.
Would I recommend it? <See above response>
Will I do anything about it? No. Ive been very vocal about this topic several times and at this point im beating a dead horse with a stick. Its not my job, nor is it my responsibility to police the exchange of airsoft guns. This responsibility lies with the Admins (For Verification Status) and RECOL for Criminal or Fraudulent Investigations.

TNL, you have been very lucky with your clients so far. They have been very civil and understanding. If it was me, or the majority of the community, negative feedback would be the least of your problems. My advice is to Quit while your ahead.

Dispite popular beleif. I have no personal grudge against TNL, nor do I store this kind of information to be "out to get" anyone. I may be more vocal about these matters, but this does not make me an authority in fraudulent or technical Disputes. I am not his Age Verifier, I cannot pull his AV status. That descision lies with the Age Verifier that verified him and with Drake.
His actions are his own, and he alone is reponsible for his transactions.

well i just shipped a gun to eeyore, so ask him in a few days if his gun arrived on fire and in pieces

I think you guys are confusing my stupid questions pertaining to my gun fixing; with trade issues, they are separate, and ive had quite a few of the former, not the latter

anyways, this is the gun on nov 8, very NOT broken, and he bought it two days after

The buyer did state that the gun worked for the first two shots. The failure happened on the third. I wont dispute that the gun was not working when shipped. The definition for "Broken item" or "Fraud" in this case will be determined by the buyer and seller, Some consider DOA as Broken, some consider breakdown within a week or so (with reasonable use) to be Broken. It all depends on the definition specified.

The issue on hand is the high failure rate upon receipt of the gun. (3 shots here, and less than a dozen on the last gun I witnessed blow out its BlowBackUnit.) I remember hearing a few others on the boards as well, but Im too tired and lazy to go search for it right now.

I dont think TNL is purposely tampering with the guns to all fail within a dozen shots, but something hes doing to them is obviously increasing the failure rate as this is not his first gun with a blowback unit exploding. Ill let you all speculate on the specific cause for yourselves.

[Thenooblord]

oh you mean that 6' hicappa, that was a parts compatibility issue that i fixed, the Oring came out of the nineball piston head and got stuck in the nozzle, so i swapped him back to a stock piston head

in any case, with THIS gun, I never did anything to the nozzle or springs, all I did was glue the BBU into the slide to prevent it flying out the back, because replacement slides are nary impossible to get, but that wouldnt make the springs snap

[DarkAngel]

Im glad you got that sorted out, both for you and the buyer.

I havent seen the guy since that day his hicappa exploded and I cant remember his username, so Ill have to take your word for it.

I would advise similar action on this transaction.
