Tokyo Marui Vz61 AEP Polarstar Conversion Kit by malcolmnz

This kit helps convert a Bingo MP7 AEP HPA kit into a VZ61 kit. You can get the MP7 kit from Airsoft Junkies.
You will need a couple of switches, I got mine from Jaycar. They're an SM1036. I will see if I can find a Mouser link. One goes inside the trigger chassis, wired normally closed. The selector one you can screw to the grip chassis. When I convert the new TM Mod M model I might measure up where I put the holes and add them into the model.
It's a one way conversion as the nub at the back of the recevier that centralises the AEP gearbox needs to be ground off to clear the solenoid. It's a bit of a shame as otherwise it would be drop in. As a result I wiggled the fuse mount in the grip back and forth till it tore away (I think you would have to split the grip to remove it more gracefully), not that I'd ever go back anyway.
The rear chassis acts as a top guide for the selector plate. Assembly should be no trouble as there is plenty of room and holes for both the loom and macro line. Ideally it needs a shorter FCU cable, maybe 4 inches less but I haven't measured it to be sure.
The deficiency in the hop shows up pretty quickly when you can spit a heavy BB at a decent FPS, so make sure you check out the TDC mod.
It will happily feed like a laser at 35 rounds per second, but the mags are only 58 rounds (or the drum mag). The new Mod M is also being released with 260 round high cap stick mags. I might try to convert some MP5 mid caps to the Vz61 for a nice 100 round mid cap solution in the future.
