I just finished installing the mosfet, + rewiring the stock!
Raptor fet was almost a drop in install, (only had to round off some edges because of the mold marks on the vfc shell, really minor modification is needed)
Also, you'll have to salvage those female bullet connectors for the connector part of the lower receiver,
1) take off old trigger assembly and remove headshrink
2) pull out the small aluminum prong (to expose the brass female connector (you also get 2 same connectors in the wiring for the stock, since its a 2 part wiring (picture is the one from the stock, but its to show you the brass connector))
3) cut off the female bullet connector
4) take new wire, pass it through the hole (in the middle of the connector)
5) bend it back (like a hook)
6) solder
You should end up with something like this:
7) heatshrink
8) put the spring back,
and then the aluminum prong
and VoilĂ*!
PS: when looking from the back of the gun the
Red wire goes left, and the
black one goes right!
And now, for the rewiring of the stock
You'll need something to punch those rollpins out! (since they are fairly long, and
they are 2 in the hinge assembly (with a washer between them, to prevent shortage)
I highly recommend a roll pin punch (I used a 5/32" one (a 4mm one should work too)) because if you try to punch these with something else... it will destroy them (i know from experience)
You can get a set like this one :
Lyman Roll pin punch set (LINK)
1) strip the gun, and take the buttstock off
2) unscrew the bottom allen screw and slide the back postion of the stock out
3) punch the rollpins out
4) separate the hinge from the front stock assembly (the one with the cheekrest)
5) your wires should come out as well (if not, just take this piece off, and pull the wires out (see pic))
6) cut wire from the ring connector
7) place new wire on it, and solder!
8) reassemble
(red wire on top, black at bottom)
TIP: to reassemble the hinge + wire, first it looks too tight, and that it will never fit without sanding, but thats not true!
You'll need to hold the ring connectors with the hinge plate, and, while still holding, slide the hinge + connectors onto the stock! (took em a while to figure out)
BTW: dont forget the part from step 5! (its for separating the wires)
PS: sorry for the partial pictures... its because everything is already reassembled in my gun.... (but if something isnt clear to you, just ask!)
And now, for the Magpul 20lr mod!
As you can see in the picture, there's a small thinggy sticking out of the magwell, this is the cause of the mags not fitting,
So you now have 2 options,
1) sand it down
2) mod the magazines
To be honest, I'd rather mod the mags then the receiver (cheaper if you mess up
)
For the mod, all you need to do is :
1) disassemble the mag (optional, but recommended)
2) locate where you have to cut off
3) dremel that thing out
4) test for fitment
5) reassemble mag and Enjoy!
PS: I know it doesnt look nice, but who cares? its hidden inside magwell)
Here's my freshly upgraded gun! (all i need now are the xt60 conenctors, and lipos!
)
BTW: if you ever mess up you can always order spare parts from
WGC shop, or ask O
ptix (airsoftgear.ca) to order some for you
