Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - [WE] G39C

Basic-Wedge · July 31st, 2011, 14:03

My sincere thanks to everyone who's contributed their user's experiences to this thread.

My own WE G39K should be delivered within a matter of days.

Thanks to the insights gained here, I've made extensive preparations for my gun's arrival: I've acquired a WE IdZ stock and top rail set from Bent Barrel Gun Doctor in Alberta, an RA Tech NPAS kit from Airsoft Parts Canada, and a quantity of spare magazines. I also have a NeBula CNC'd aluminum charging handle on it's way from Tokyo Model Company in Hong Kong, and a replacement HK serial number plate coming from a custom manufacturer in England.

Beyond what I've learned, I still have a few questions:

- I've seen several videos on YouTube showing NPAS valves after installation in a G39 nozzle assembly, but I cannot find any information about installing the NPAS in the first place. Has anyone seen instructions for performing this modification, or is it just such a simple process nobody has bothered to detail it? From what I understand, at least one of the factory parts requires modification. If anyone has an answer for that, I'd be grateful to hear it.

In terms of lubricants for the trigger group and the exterior of the bolt carrier, what do you think of using Breakfree CLP? It's a synthetic lubricant I've always used with great effect in my real steel firearms. I'll be sure to use a lithium molybdenum disulfide grease on the parts with rubber seals. Sound good?

I already have an Ares electric blow back G36, but these G39's are a whole other ballgame! In return for the information I've obtained here, allow me to share a few links useful to any G39 owner:

- Evike sells complete WE factory nozzle assemblies, which include part numbers 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 18, 122. For $28, this is a must have spare part set. http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_i...ducts_id=35232 Be warned, though, they also sell a factory upgraded unit intended to boost velocity up to 500 fps. Clearly, that would not be appropriate for use in Canada, where field limits tend to be more conservative.

- Airsoft Buddy offers an extensive selection of individual replacement parts for the WE G39. Follow this link for details: http://www.airsoftbuddy.com/index_ecat.php?cPath=71 Of interest to me are the replacement magazine shells and base plates. The OEM parts strike me as being quite brittle, and having a good supply of spares on-hand seems prudent.

- The exploded view of the G39, along with the parts list, can be found in the user's manual, but here's an online version you may wish to bookmark: http://www.weairsoft.com/detail_download.php?d_id=10

Does anyone else have useful links they might want to share with the group?

I'm really quite excited about getting my G39K. From using my Ares AEG, I've gained a tremendous appreciation for the platform, and look forward to learning all about gas guns. Here's an photo of my Ares G36C to give you an idea of what I hope to do with my GBBR:

I should mention, adding the Elcan greatly enhanced the functionality of my rifle. I was using an Aimpoint, but find having a bit of magnification to be much more useful than a red dot. Zeiss, in Germany, made a very similar looking scope for the Bundeswehr's IdZ project, and I'm keeping an eye out for an airsoft replica of that. Until then, the Elcan works for me. I sure wish I'd had it when I played in the vast expanses at Claybank last spring!
