    their reputation was certainly good.

    i mean maybe i've got a friday afternooner on the gearbox but the rest of the elements are still not ideal.

    maybe nuprol's ownership and getting them to make guns for them has had an impact.

    I've heard enough about lemons from both sides to be fair, only ever purchased/used LCTs but had a go with E&Ls and they've both been great. I think the best bet is to lean to whatevers cheapest and that tends to be E&L now that Nuprol have price hiked the LCTs, fire support is no longer my go to for 'premium' AK shopping like it has been ?

    Can't you just unscrew the hop and push it forward? I'm pretty sure I can do that with my 74u to get at the gearbox without removing the outer barrel, etc.

    i've done a bit of a review which includes photos of the hop unit issue. at least once i get the photos to load.

    Adolf Hamster
    dear airsoft manufacturers

    please stop using press-fit pins that require removal for regular maintenance purposes.

    Adolf Hamster
    Buys gun, gun comes with tube loader

    Turns out mags are a pain, you gotta use the tube

    Mods tube to fit standard speedloader

    This does not work

    So now i have to load rounds singly.

    This is the definition of hubris

    @Rogerborg yep that pretty much sums it up perfectly.

    i suppose at least my total ammo capacity of 160 rounds isn't that bad to fill up one by one.....

    the f2000 saga continues.

    new hop unit- check

    fresh ml macaron with omega nub- check

    feeds every round- check

    actually reliable on semi-check

    fps at least approaching 1j- whoops, we're getting 40.....

    I am getting such bad luck with the ML omega nub combination with lots of rifles recently in terms of feeding, huge FPS drops when hop applied and general inconsistency.

     I changed the ML on my T97, L85 and XM8 DMR to a Prommy Purple, Guarder clear and G&G green respectively. Much better dealing and less FPS drops. 

    It might not help in your situation. 

    My F2000 had a ML nub combo, but it's an AUG style hop unit in the Cyma/JG and hasnt given me any problems.

    i don't think it's the hop rubber, this is the exact same issue she had with the PDI W-hop that was in previously.

    normally the feeding issue is the feedlips are too long but she's sitting just perfect atm.

    i'll have another crack at it today, if not i suspect she might be features on negative airsoft's next haunted guns show....

    Adolf Hamster

    ok, now i'm very suspicious

    turns out the piston air seal wasn't quite as good as i thought (seemed to intermittently just not seal) so a new o-ring and now we're firing proper numbers.

    makes me worried, something is about to break, i know it.....

    Adolf Hamster
    why do i do this to myself?

    always gotta make a new challenge, now it's trying to extract consistent fps from a gbb.....

    starting to think that.

    trying to set the npas on this dragonuv and it's not fun, might be easy stripped but you gotta to that every goddamn time to adjust it....

    Adolf Hamster
    ahh uk customs, apparently a we 226 hop/barrel set requires a firearms declaration.....

    aaand finally sorted.

    Sounds like you've had a similar experience like mine!

    The cherry on the cake though, was when it finally cleared customs and went 'out for delivery' they shipped it to the wrong warehouse! So I had to wait another day for it to arrive...

    i'm not in a massive rush, it's more the pain in the ass for something so small.

    Adolf Hamster
    welp, f2000 curse strikes again, now i have to trawl the internet to find a replacement stock hop

    Adolf Hamster
    And there we thought bog roll would be the currency of the apocalypse, turns out its omega nubs

    look, it's easier to have them sitting around in case i get something new, or i'm working on a mates gun and i've got something good to throw in there.....

    I managed to get my omega nub for my VSR just before they went out of stock everywhere ?

    got plenty of official Maple Leaf ones and the clone hard and soft packs...when I spoke to AST though they said they were having a hard time getting them produced at the moment

    Just got me combat union hop unit and all i can say is it says volumes about russian fps limits....

    well, thanks to the relaxation managed to give this thing a few rounds and can confirm whilst it's not as pretty as the MAXX hop unit it is just as good at ensuring bb's go in the correct direction.

    That's good to hear. Nice to have a high quality AK hop unit available. On the subject of MAXX see that they planned at one stage or another to release a G36 unit, no mention of AKs though. 

    Might have to give the combat union a go in the future. 

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    Yeah, means i have a second gun that can lob .48's should the need arise.

    The only real downside is it's a bastard to adjust, you either gotta have tiny fingers or open the top cover, so not as amenable to "on the fly" adjustment as a standard hop

    EvilMonkee
    Dude, trying to put my Makarov back together - how the hell do you get that wee slither of hop arm to engage with the hop adjustment wheel properly?  Seems impossible

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    you gotta have the hop turned all the way off before trying to re-insert the barrel/hop unit.

    it's a bit of a bastard, i already wrecked one hop wheel by being too ham-fisted with it.

    edit: you can at least get it started with the wheel wherever it wants, only the last mm or so of travel does it actually engage.

    EvilMonkee

    All the way off is to the right isnt it?

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    i cannot remember lol, you're gonna need to get a torch out and have a look.

    i *think* it's all the way to the right but don't quote me on that....

    Adolf Hamster
    I now have that rarest of things.....

    A g&g f2000 that actually fires semi auto.....

    Asomodai

    @Adolf Hamster For how long?

    My Cymas Semi Auto Failed recently as the second trigger got worn down. As it's in an AUG base and you cant really get second triggers for Augs (With the hole at the back) My tech had to gut a standard second trigger All is well now. :)

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    about half an hour at this point :P

    since discovering on the aksu that an ab mosfet screws up the semi i've been figuring maybe the same was happening on the f2000.

    so dropped a warfet in her today and with precocking on it's now cycling very nicely on semi.

    of course the trigger pull is still crap but that's just an f2000 thing, and the COL is almost certainly going to wear out very quickly.

    Adolf Hamster
    Man is lockdown getting dull at this point....

    I'm feeling it too...  and I don't even have any of my guns with me to work on or tinker with. Apparently the new Thor movie 'Extraction' on Netflix is quite good, might give that a watch.

    We (Italy) may play again, or rather practice team sports (airsoft falls under this category here), from the 18th of May.

    Debates if he could cram an xcortech inside a makarov suppressor......

    True.

    I was basing myself on the end cap, which could be way thicker than the actual wall.

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    yeah.

    ahh well, was a fun idea. the makarov seemed like an ideal candidate what with the way the barrel is setup, but i don't like the look of those tracer units as-is. too stubby.

    Skara
    Skara
    You could get a shell milled though, same diametre as the tracer but much longer so you can stuff it with foam.

    win-win-win-lose, you get the look you want, you get the tracer and you get some level of sound suppression too, but obviously your wallet will suffer more :P

    Adolf Hamster
    Finds aftermarket bbu seal in box o' bits

    Doesnt fit makarov due to length so fits to sig

    Actual gas efficiency.

    Goddamnit now i need one that fits the makarov :(

    Goes to play ac:unity

    Remembers why he never finished ac:unity

    Seriously how did they make a game where you can run around revolutionary paris wailing on people with a poleaxe boring?

    I played it last year when Ubisoft gave everyone a free copy following the Notre Dame fire.  I enjoyed AC: Black Flag much more.

    I cant put my finger on why i dont like it, it just doesnt get me.

    Black flag was awesome, didnt even need the assasin stuff to be good when you can just be a pirate.

    That said i'm maybe just odd, i enjoyed the hell out of ac3 and a lot of folk hated that for some reason.

    I've played both Unity and Black Flag extensively and yeah the latter is definitely my favourite between them. Although I tend to get bored of a game when you have to do the same type of mission time after time. Obviously a different series but I think Far Cry 4 may be my favourite game of all time.

    Adolf Hamster
    the boredom is definately starting to become a thing, contemplating trying to minimise gear noise on the aksu, it's not like i don't have quiet guns either.....

    yeah, the aim wouldn't be complete silence, just to make it sound less like a sewing machine.

    i suppose HS gears with HT motor would be the best option, no need/desire to increase the ROF or trigger response.

    i probably shouldn't do it, it's a great gun just a bit whiney.

    Quietest gun I ever heard was a tippman omega. I could not hear the guy next to me firing, to the point I told him I didnt think his gun was working :D
