I just picked up a KJW M700 Take Down and after tinkering and shooting with it, I am vastly dissappointed :'(
It is bone stock, fresh from Airsoft GI's warehouse and I am thinking about putting in a DB 6.01 in a little bit. However I don't want to shell out another $75 on a barrel if I cannot get a reasonably accurate grouping with the stock barrel.
I pulled the gun out of the box, fired a few erratic shots, then cleaned out the barrel.. I checked the "Quality Control" card that GI put in the box and according to their chrono, my gun shoots 460 with .2's. I was under the impression that for a "clone" the KJW can achieve a pretty high legal playing velocity. But that is another question/concern to come later.
The groupings I am getting are too vast to even measure. I get maybe 2 out of 5 shots that travel straight but the hop-up isn't putting enough spin on the BB's to make it travel any more that 40 yards on a bee-line. (At least I believe it is the hop-up)
When it comes to the hop-up, no matter whether I spin the screw to the limits both CW and CCW, the BB's don't really change trajectory. I popped out the Hop-Up nubbin, and it looks like it is new and doesn't really have any wear on it.
I then took off the bolt to see if it was possible to adjust the velocity by dissasembling it, and screwing down the screw tension rod. (I got the directions from a few different forums and videos) Much to my dismay, it appears that my screw was already turned to the limit.
So basically, do you guys think that this has to do with the shiny "NEW VERSION" sticker on my box, or did I happen to get a Lemon?
Or even better yet, could you give me some advice to fix my problem.
Thanks
