Thanks Steve, still love the Capas but something about the 10/22 design had piqued my interest. The fact that the KC02 is secretly a 30 year old Tanio Koba design pushed me further down the rabbit hole. The mechanism is so amazingly sensitive. Things like the factory paint on the disconnector affect the cycling! It’s the perfect platform for a tweaky obsessive.
Alimcd Posted December 8, 2021 Author Posted December 8, 2021 On the tweaky weirdo note, matching load outs? There’s an AEG in one of those photos but something full auto, HPA and blowback is being worked on to replace that Steveocee 1
Alimcd Posted January 2, 2022 Author Posted January 2, 2022 I’m very excited. Finally managed to find one of these Tanuki HPA adaptors. Now I’ve just got to patiently wait for it to get here from the states Now comes the magic of just slapping an MP5 mid cap into the KC
Alimcd Posted January 2, 2022 Author Posted January 2, 2022 Suddenly the 11 MP5 mags I’ve got start to make a bit more sense
Alimcd Posted January 12, 2022 Author Posted January 12, 2022 So that HPA mags adaptor arrived. It’s only gone and changed my life. Gone is the heavy, cumbersome drum. In are the dinky 65rd aeg MP5 mags. The adaptor is extremely tight fitting in the magwell leading to extremely good consistency, I put about 50 rounds through the chrono on my DMR build and ended up with a deviation of +-3fps! I’ve put the Rogueworx Steel bolt assembly in that gun and the noise it makes it essentially porn. I’ll take some photos today and, if I can work out how, a cheeky video of how loud the DMR build is and how quiet the Sniper Steveocee 1
Alimcd Posted January 18, 2022 Author Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Tried out Rift Abingdon over the weekend. Amazing site but I’ve never experienced so much poor sportsmanship and god-mode warriors. One chap took one right to the cheek, shook his head and went straight back to returning fire?! A few times, I thought of the amazing words of The head Marshall at my normal site “They’re not cheating, you’re just shit” - so I went to the range to test my gear a few times to make sure I wasnt just missing. Hearing the ring of the steel targets, Im convinced I wasn’t the issue. In the end, I got fed up wasting heavy ammo on people who wouldn’t call hits and played with pistols instead. Oh yeah, a traveller stag do also promised to knock out one of our groups teeth in the car park for throwing pyro. Interesting site, definitely has potential. Bumped into a few familiar faces who play there regularly who’ve assured me they’ve never seen poor sportsmanship like that there before so I’m going to give it another go on the 6th Feb. If anyone else is planning on being there, hit me up! Edit: yes, I’m really quite short Edited January 18, 2022 by Alimcd Tackle 1

Alimcd Posted February 3, 2022 Author Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) @SteveoceeOne of the KC02’s may have taken a slightly wankery turn Edited February 3, 2022 by Alimcd Steveocee 1
Alimcd Posted February 3, 2022 Author Posted February 3, 2022 As I’ve got a custom outer barrel being made for this KC and I was really bored, I cut down the stock outer and wrapped it in vinyl. Stubby, full auto build is coming together
Alimcd Posted February 8, 2022 Author Posted February 8, 2022 Stubby, full auto KC02 ready for Sunday Tackle 1
Alimcd Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 Eleven and a bit weeks of back order and Brownells have just sent shipping confirmation of my Samson Manufacturing B-TM! This thread has taken some odd turns. It was meant to be a straightforward journey; buying a battered KC02, slapping it in a wooden Ruger 10/22 stock and tapping the mags. It’s ended up with three completely different builds that range from dinky full auto madness at 1.1J to single action at 2.32 all housed in RS stocks for the Ruger 10/22 that I’ve picked up off Brownells. The beginning of March should be interesting as I’ll have some custom barrels and a Rogueworx underlever kit to fit. I wasn’t expecting to find a platform as customisable as the HiCapa when I opened the box on my first KC02. I’ve got high hopes that that stubby build for Sunday. Even though it’s only sending at 1.1J, it’s got a VSR style TDC hop unit that’ll lift like the MK23. I can hold 5x130 mags of 0.3’s on my chest so I’ll be in full pewpewpew mode. Hopefully accuracy doesn’t just disappear due to full auto, I’ve heard a lot of people complain about the full auto kits before but I’m sure that’ll be due to cool down and condensation from C02 mags. Not a problem for a Sodastream ghostbuster
Alimcd Posted March 27, 2022 Author Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) One custom outerbarrel has been completed. Very tasty update coming on Wednesday Big thanks to the big man Project over at PPT - Project Precision Turning Edited March 27, 2022 by Alimcd Tactical Pith Helmet 1
Alimcd Posted March 27, 2022 Author Posted March 27, 2022 It’s pretty subtle from this picture, but that’s a 400mm tapered barrel made to mirror the bog standard Ruger 10/22 factory barrel.
Alimcd Posted March 31, 2022 Author Posted March 31, 2022 Here we go, all assembled, fettled and ready for Saturday. 1.6j with 0.45 for Red Alerts DMR rule set. Steveocee, Tactical Pith Helmet, Tackle and 1 other 1 3
Alimcd Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 Nearly finished with this Samson B-TM build. Jack at Airsoft Engraver is a pleasure to do business with

There’s an anodised endcap at either end and a 23mm dia carbon tube between them. I had the test run on my Underlever build but the finished articles are just about finished. The final versions will have matched splatter anodising to match the rest of each build leadly 1
leadly Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 I'll have to keep an eye out, not really got enough spare dosh to drop into a new build at the moment! Slapping a longer barrel in the AAP to test out as a DMR, should scratch the itch for a while!

Collected the barrels during the week, finally home so I had time to install yesterday That might be the end of my KC02 journey. They’re so flexible and the RW parts make them amongst the best - regardless of what role you want them to fill Edited January 15, 2023 by Alimcd leadly and Steveocee 2
