I did find cymas quite tight initially, but they wore in with use.

shell ejection puts this more into the "pretty prop for re-enactors" rather than a skirmishable gun. shame as if i were to get back into the hobby i can see my comeback going for a lightweight mosin-and-a-prayer style.

The mag bodies are nice, at least the steelies are. Its just the springs and followers are crap and its not that hard to swap the guts with cyma springs/followers to get pretty and reliable mags.

Piggyback, i found i ended up using the dot pretty much as default with the scope relegated to honesty checking. Airsoft doesnt have the range to go beyond what a dot or even irons can be effectively used. Going canted locks you into the dot only being usable at ranges where vague barrel...

Just dropping in to shill for e&l. Their bluing is nicer than lct's imo and i'm not sure there's that much difference in the wood quality. I wasnt a fan of some of the design choices in the lct i had like being unable to pull the gearbox without first pulling the outer barrel, e&l you can slide...

it's a tricky one. whilst that statement in and of itself isn't strictly toxic, there's a poisonous yet alluring draw to go further. it's the first step on a road of escalation that leads you to open every engagement with overkill regardless of wether or not the target needed that much...

you have my sympathies, sadly there's no real advice on how to do it you just sorta get a feel for it. some boxes are well enough behaved that once you get the trigger seated properly it'll stay put, others less so. i had a jg box that i ended up tapping a tiny bolt into the trigger to keep it...

you are correct that silver spring is the trigger spring, unfortunately the v3 trigger spring can be one of the most hateful things to try and install. the other component is the anti reversal latch, it goes into this hole: it drags against the bevel gear to stop the gearbox going the wrong...

Ooh the pneumatic blowback. Tbf it probably doesnt leak any more air now than it did out of the box......

You could try shimming the scope rings against the rail. In this case a strip of paper or similar between the side of one of the clamps. The left hand side if you're on the front ring, opposite for the rear ring.

hop setting is something you end up getting a feel for. typically you want a pretty flat trajectory with a little rise at the end, but make sure that it's only a little rise. of course that's optimum for open field work, it's viable to find different settings can be useful in different...

Yeah, whatever the muzzle energy of your bb's are has to go somewhere, and if it aint pushing a bb out the barrel it's hitting the front of the casing. Might be fine if the casing is strong enough, but for the sake of setting up a target and having some fun might as well send some plastic...

chrono is always a useful thing to have. typically i've found the opposite problem to be more common, buy a new gat with a spring downgrade which consists on them replacing the stock spring with whatever was in the clicky pen they had handy.

wait, what!? that is not how aeg's work my dude, heavier bb's are not going to yeild a significant material impact on the energy levels. at least not in a healthy gun. the velocity will drop yes, but not the energy, and the energy makes the owchie. hop off is bullshit, plenty of aeg's will do...
