Congrats on getting it to work. I'm still debating on whether or not to get one. Just spent out on an PTS ERG xD

At no point was anyone bitching, people were querying it, myself included. Reason being I was considering getting an SMP and 90m sounded damn impressive. 70m sounds bang on for a half decent gun on HPA. In regards to a helpful answer,as mentioned HPA gun's are widely documented as working well with wide bores. "wide bore barrels provides better accuracy because the air around the BB forms a tunnel preventing it from bouncing irregularly inside the barrel and as the polar star fusion engine can provide almost unlimited air flow so no worries about losing FPS" As I don't own an SMP yet, I can't comment myself, but I know from using other guns that the slight vibrations from the GB can affect the barrel. Might be s simple suggestion, but is the inner barrel reallt tight inside the outer?

I agree, I have a tanaka M700 on HPA and even with all the upgrades 90m is still an accomplishment at 330 fps.

I have to agree with Dex, The only reviews seen/people I know who can hit 80+ using an SMP is with an R-Hop, 407 mm barrel and shooting 400+ FPS with a .25. Not meaning to take anything away from you and I hope it doesnt come across as I am. If you laser measured out 90m and recorded a video, I'd buy one.......instantly. I was considering getting the new Wolverine Hyrda and actually emailed the grange today about it, I was speaking to them about getting it put into a broken Famas I have However my Tippmans have performed really well, have great range plus the added recoil. Not to mention for £380 I get an entire gun. But if a wolverine unit can really hit that far, I know what my next purchase will be Plus it would be awesome to take a Famas to a game and no one have a clue what's inside lol In regards to the accuracy, with the gas flow it's widely documented that you for for a wide bore barrel, 6.13 up to 6.23. There's god knows how many discussions about wide bores and their performance. On a side note, if I do pick up an Hyrda/SMP would I be able to ping you a few questions seeing as you've got one and did the install etc

Where are these items going to be sold?

I like the forum, most people are nice and its probably the most active. But i have noticed the mod's banning long time members for having an opinion that differs from theirs, plus the whole not linking thing.

the replacement gearbox is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CYBERGUN-FAMAS-V2-Metal-Gearbox-Piston-Assembly-Complete-FIX-ANY-FAMAS-Airsoft-/331445508519?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2bb119a7

I keep forgetting this isn't zeroin lol It's a luxury to be able to link to retailers. But yer I ordered some from Samoon, I thought it was too good a deal to pass up

You'd do better getting this, then spending the money you save on internal upgrades: http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p21709/S&T-TAR-21-Bullpup-Professional-Version-EBB-(Carbine-Ver.)-(DE)/product_info.html The Ares Tar 21 is pretty shite, so you'd do better getting the cheaper clone and then having enough money to spend on replacing the parts which aren't up to spec.

I'd let it go for that if the buyer covered the P&P, I'd have no idea what price to split things for though.

I personally do and haven't had any issues

yup

Hi All, I have a broken and old FAMAS that I'm thinking I may try to get rid of rather than post. Some points about the gun: 1)It was sprayed over in a red colour when I bought it, easy to remove. 2) It is missing the cheek piece 3) it has 4 High cap mags, which are like tough to get nowadays. 4) It comes with the scope mount, also hard to get. 5) Theres no battery, but it comes in its original box. I have no idea why this rifle isn't working, it's simply does nothing when a battery is plugged in and I can't be bothered to repair it myself. A certain seller on the "bay of E" sells the complete V1 gearbox, should it need to be repaired, but as I've been told on here it could be something simple. Any ideas on pricing would be good, I'm just trying to get an idea of what I could get rid of it for or weather to just grab the gearbox and get a retailer to install and service the gun.

I might strip it down tomorrow and have a look

Evening All, So ages ago I got given an old TM Famas which was dead, simply never did anything. Put a battery in and no sounds or anything. Just wondering if there's any parts available for these, I'm aware that are very very old guns. In fact I think this one is about 8 years old :S I've had it sat in it's box for a few years now and I can't be bothered to sell it as it's fairly heavy and postage will cost a bomb as it has a few hicaps. Are there any people/shops that are likely to be able to repair it? or does anyone sell the Gearbox? I'm based in Sussex if anyone can help or fancies having it dirt cheap.

GHK G5 mags are two for $100 inc postage at the moment from a certain store too just picked a few up myself

If you stretch your budget, the GHK G5 is awesome

I'd say I sent about 50/50. I'll but tactical gear, clothes, consumables etc from the UK and the occasional RIF if its a reasonable price. The main problem with the UK retailers is they'll order in guns which are 350+ then charge silly amounts for a downgrade so it can be used here. If I'm buying a RIF here, I want to be able to take it out the box and use it here, I wouldn't buy a car, to find out I have to pay extra for it have wheels. I agree there are some very good retailers in the UK, who are helpful and polite. These are the retailers I'll use when It makes financial sense to. But some of the retailers here are shockingly bad,massively over priced and in some cases rude.

In regards to uni, I had a lot of friends who went to uni for years got all the grades and have since remained jobless. I personally didn't go to university and started working my ass off in retail for an emerging company, got promoted through the ranks and eventually ended up working for American Express, dealing with their suppliers and contracts.......I'm 25. University is good if you are studying a worthwhile subject and have work experience. Getting a trade is definitely worth doing though. It's work that's always required.

Just an update on my Tippmans for those of you who are interested, I took my shorter one out yesterday, had the outer cut down to its only got about 200mm inner barrel. I had it running on HPA, 28's, G&G greeb bucking and a TK twist barrel. It was really good to use, the range was impression for such a short barrel
