    Need specific info from an owner of a TM MK23. Barrel length; is it 131mm, or something else?0

    Hudson
    Whoo! My Grey Shop order arrived today. Didn't expect it for another couple of weeks! :D

    Hudson
    Off down to Huddersfield Saturday AGAIN...spending far too much time there for my liking.

    Hudson
    Why is it that some people expect site chronos to adjust to their RIFs and not the other way round?

    I was saying I had a hot SRC Dragon firing at 355 and couldn't use it, I was a bit unhappy but I did understand as I went back to car to get a lame 275fps I had. no way would the Dragon out-shoot a TM, think me & marshal both knew that but I respected him for doing his job. Plus I feel comfortable that the guns are all chrono'd to within the limits. My site has its flaws but not on safety

    plus if your gun is close to limit - you had best have a spare or two anyway, my cheapo one is right bang on atm 348-349 but that will eventually come down a little more

    NEVER try to cheat chrono - often they give you mag to test but even then they can just speed fill 6 or so 0.20's into most mags, so really don't ever think of trying at my local site

    *Finally* managed to get some more Prometheus flat Buckings from FS. Last time I got a re-stock notice, it was too late!

    Productive Sunday. Fixed the VZ58 *and* sorted the 552's double-feeding problem. :D

    How in the hell can a spring guide just disappear?? > :(

    Eh, I wouldn't be taking it back anyhow tbh.

    I'll stick with my own tech-work from now on; it's about the only way I get stuff working properly! ;)

    always the way when my other half makes me tidy up my mess as she calls it, then I can never locate the stuff again for yonks. Ah bless 'em

    It's not mess; it's organised chaos. I know where each & every part is until it gets tidied! ;)

    lol - quick change spring :D

    Yup. Absolutely gutted. A two hour drive each way, to boot. >_<

    If it hadn't been made by Ares, I would have just done it myself; but from experience I'm highly skeptical of Ares' longevity and so I wanted to not invalidate the warranty or anything, but seeing as I had to pay regardless, I'd have been as well off doing it myself. Pah!

    Hudson
    Hudson
    Still; I'll know for next time!

    Hudson
    Off to Patrol Base tomorrow; hopefully get this damned VZ58 sorted once & for all!

    The amount of times I've seen "full metal" and they really mean the slide or something in terms of a pistol...

    you guys need to stop shopping at JustBBguns then, I stopped ages ago - well last week to be exact...

    Oooohhhh another QUALITY B500a1 offer, go on then about time I got a pro gun

    Definitely top quality there, Duck!

    D'oh. VZ58 woes continue. It chronos at or around the stated 320fps...without hop. But in order to get enough hop to lift .28s, it increases to the equivalent of 365-370. D'oh. :(

    It's certainly possible. Never had an Aeg where hop increases the power!

    Gonna drop the store a message & get them to have a look at it.

    May as well make use of my warranty whilst I have it; especially with an Ares gearbox! ;)

    Prompted me to give it bit more of a google as hop-up increasing fps was v curious. Seems there is a threshold for it increasing it, although you getting 40fps off it suggests it's bit over-volumed too (not to a point where it'll cause issues firing 0.2 as intended)

    Hudson
    Hudson
    Well I've contacted them & let them know the problem, fingers crossed it'll all get sorted.

    If I'd known it was going to be so much trouble I wouldn't have bought it!

    Cheers for your help fella. :)

    Hudson
    Got my new shiny VZ58! Dear God the battery space is a massive ball-ache though!

    at just over £4 - get a file/dremmel and MAKE them fit

    bummer - then it might have to to be the vapex ones

    as one I listed were long 116mm

    Hudson
    Hudson
    I don't think there's any way you *could* dremel or file, tbh.

    The way the thing's designed, if you take anything off the areas that *would* increase space you're going straight into a structural part, and then that opens up a whole new can of worms!

    Thanks for the help, but I think I'm just going to have to struggle on with what I have at present; at least unless someone makes an entire top cover that's actually a LiPo! ;)

    Hudson
    Decided to take a risk on Ares & order a VZ58...

    My ASG MK43 is a rebranded Ares, had 12,000 bb's roughly so far....never missed a beat and always feeds and as I've said before, nearly matches my TM recoil for range. My vz.58 also shoots well and hops .28 very well

    Hudson
    Hudson
    Well it'll be staying completely stock until it eventually dies, so I'll see how long it lasts.

    will prob be alright, even the dodgiest guns can't have a very high % of guns sold having issues
