    probably being too reliant on hpa lol.

    tbf it's probably plateauing after spending so much time tinkering with aeg's trying to push every last drop out of them, whereas my current aeg's i'm happy with "good enough".

    And they'll stay that way right up until chrono on site. ;)

    nah, the f2000 always works just fine at chrono, it's when it gets on the field with an actual target it immediately starts misfeeding.

    Gets maxx hop unit

    Fits up nice, good bit of kit

    Goes to test

    And of course its a windy day...

    If you were/are running a PDI I honestly wouldn't be considering a CJ. I would say at best it would be a sidegrade and an FPS drop.

    They are popular(ish) with the Mk23 owners (they're cheap and available) and some VSR users swear by them. The marginally wider bore helps with over volumed RIFs so helps balance things up a bit.

    They are sold on a lot of bluster about the end providing a vortex or whatever it is, there is rarely a mention that they are a brass barrel and nothing about the internal finish.

    Adolf Hamster

    fair enough, i'm not so worried about voluming/fps issues as it's hpa so i can set to whatever's necessary.

    might stick to what i know then and get another pdi.

    Adolf Hamster
    so my boltgun ponderings have moved on to "hmmm, WE SVD"...

    this is part of the question, i know there's the NPAS kits, although i've heard those aren't as consistent as a dedicated nozzle, which i don't know if anyone makes them for the svd.

    seems like it could be a nice setup, i mostly play a pseudo-DMR role these days anyway.

    You could still HPA it and get the best of both worlds really :)

    Dont think i'd want to hpa tap it.

    I suppose a daytona would work but they dont make one and i couldnt afford it anyway.

    It's more trading rate of fire/longevity of fire for a bit of fun whilst hopefully retaining sufficient accuracy.

    Adolf Hamster
    i find myself starting to seriously consider getting a proper boltgun, i think i'm actually losing it.

    I mean i wouldnt say no to a but of purging, but i was thinking more basr. Considering we have a flat 1j limit and i have several polarstars feels like it's just engaging hard mode for no reason.

    Single-barrel shotgun with a hop unit might be a giggle, although they seem to come in hotter than 1J.

    Adolf Hamster

    Could be, i suppose its because i'd quite like to give it a go, see what the satisfaction of that one hit is like, rather than rely on constantly having the "persuasive" power of fast follow up if they decide to get creative.

    Adolf Hamster
    Well, first day with the pyramex's seems promising for no fogging, although had enough wind today i dont think my bolles would have fogged either.

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    They are pretty good, I can almost not fog them up.

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    Yeah, they are kinda weird with the reflections though, suppose it's just something to get used to.

    I'm almost tempted to give them a try tbf, although I'm not sure they'll fit my broken, bent nose :P

    Adolf Hamster
    hmmm, so where does one go from a PDI if one wants moar accuracy?

    currently debating between giving a crazy jet a go or maybe EDGI

    @lozart i tried, but the perfectionist in me is too strong, it's all about the accuracy.....

    You don't - buy heavier and better ammo, improve your hop unit.

    If you really want look at hunterseekerarmouries and buy a lapping kit to get a ridiculously smooth finish on your barrel.

    Adolf Hamster
    Hmmm, do i risk running a 9v box mag on 11.1v again?

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    Lol, probably a sensible decision, that motor doesnt look like she'd handle it all that well, and last time(s) i tried it fried the motor

    Tbh i'm thinking just leaving the auto cutoff to do its thing might be the best move, would save a wire coming from the gun.

    Adolf Hamster
    urgh, dont you just love when stuff doesnt work and the reason is "because electronics"......

    imma need to send that back and get another mosfet now.....

    Adolf Hamster
    hmmm, do i just keep the jg as a basic mosfet or do i titan?

    The thing with the titan is its a known quantity, you know what your getting and you know it works well.

    The likes of the warfet i dislike because timing the precocking off the cutoff lever isnt all that precise to me, i'd rather it be done positively.

    Ive gone with a simple jefftron, just to keep the contacts saved. Main priority atm is getting cash together to replace the jack in the e&l with an f2

    @Rogerborg the Titan and Warfet are very different beasts.

    The Warfet relies on timing and power control where the Titan runs optical sensors. Mechanical reliability is about the same as I have seen both units fail regardless of age or usage.

    Although the warfet precocking works ok the Titans will be better as it counts gear teeth which is more reliable. Also the titans trigger sensor is something the warfet can match as it is just a plug in unit.

    The only thing I will say is if it fails the warfet is easier to replace so for none tech minded it is easier and cheaper. For competent people the titan is easy as takes less than an hour to fit to most gearboxes.

    Other than that sorry got to disagree with Luke as would pick Titan everytime.

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    ^ pretty much my feelings only i didnt bother with the detail.

    Ofc the other downside to the titan is it doesnt fit some of the more niche boxes, im still hoping they'll figure out a v6 version.

    Adolf Hamster
    absolute cracker of a day, been a long while since i've enjoyed a day that much. good banter and honest play.

    Todays casualty list- 1 eotech smashed, 1 m4 mag lost, 1 gearbox broken.

    Been a while since airsoft went like that lol.

    Do we have a  "WHAT HAVE YOU BROKEN/LOST THREAD"? if not we should... I feel I would be able to keep it going every time I play !!

    Feels like a thing we had for a while, dunno if thats just memory playing tricks though.

    Suppose i've been lucky, been a good few months since i had a proper casualty.

    Yeah it rings a bell, but I looked and ran a search but couldn’t find it..

    I might start one next time I break something/next game!

    Adolf Hamster
    do i really need a better short dot?

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    see i kinds miss having an actual dot, and easier zeroing adjustment would be nice.

    other than that i've been enjoying it, although at 1x it's not been so great due to aforementioned lack of dot.

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    currently running a visionking 1-4, i like the quick zoom adjustment, but i'd rather a dot on a reticle rather than illuminating the whole thing and having to remove caps and fiddle to zero it is annoying.

    tbh i'm partially tempted to save up some pennies and grab an actual s&b

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    Yeah thats what i'm after, big red blob in the middle to grab the eye.

    Current one just lights up the whole crosshair

    Adolf Hamster
    oh boy, hopefully cooking up something special tomorrow for sunday's pewing, looking forward to it.

    Hmm, maybe soon time to replace the king arms reciever, anyone reccommend somewhere to look for decent reciever sets? Feels kind of wasteful to buy a whole gun only to gut the internals and replace most of the furniture.

    ooh good shout, those look pretty decent.

    there was me thinking he only did internal bits

    He has so many fun things to part you from your cash!

    I have an E&C Colt engraved receiver set and I have to say it's rather lovely (especially for the cost).

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    yeah it looks very similar to the king arms one i have, well, at least what the king arms was like several years ago.

    just ordered one, was mighty tempted to add some other shiny's but sadly funding isn't infinite at the moment.

    shame he doesn't have barrel nut shims, those seem to be like hens teeth to find.

    Adolf Hamster
    Well, will have to see how the new sling mount on the m4 holds, but at least i found a use for the hicapa rail.....

    Did you run out of cable ties and keyrings?

    Never run out of cable ties and keyrings.

    Adolf Hamster
    it's more that carbon is not a good material for bolting things onto, i'm kinda worried the wrong shock load is going to just rip the bolts out.

    problem is there's nowhere else decent to mount the front of a 2 point on an m4.
