This I guess...

It has arrived but it has a tag on the muzzle saying "semi-locked" is that normal?yes i tried to roing them but ist's too late and I don't want to touch it if I have to return it,thanks.

Can I ask are they mag fussy?

Ordered....😁My mate a Tippy owner has a portable compressor for filling,he's moving to one of these as well...🙂..thanks for the advice all.

I'm looking at purchasing one of these (not the Milspec) and I'd be interested in any honest feedback from current owners,ex-owners or users.I've viewed many reviews and read a lot about them.I'm not confident in building my own...yet and these look like a good option.My friend who is also looking said that issues have been addressed,not sure what but I will research further.Is this a good starting point to get into HPA?Thanks.

Update.The issues still remain,the tech has checked it out,good airseal,etc.The only option left is to look at the mags.Could they cause the issue I'm getting?A few good shots then one "tumbling" out of the barrel,I even had 2 bb's in a row reach 6-10 ft.The tech can't replicate the issue using other mags.Are Krytac mag picky?Thanks.

There's a tippman specific group on Facebook that is a mine of information.

Unfortunately I've never been a fan of Tippmann either paintball or airsoft.My m8 had a MK1 Tipp' and he has just got a MK2 Omega version,love the trigger but that's about it.

Yes m8.

I was speaking to some HPA boffs today and they directed me to Discord,I finally downloaded it but that's as far as I can get.I think it was a HPA group but I can't find it.Help an old technophobe....please....😊

Seriously I had this on my Specna,I took it apart to no avail.I adjusted the hop and it fired ok but still rang.I eventually discovered that I had bent one of the 3 tangs on my flash hider.I actually liked it tbh.

Just as I thought I understood AEG's we might be moving to HPA,so I'm doing what I tell all new players to do...ask before you buy.I've seen Polstar,wolverine,Jack,etc.how does 1 decide.Do the kits come complete as drop in units or are all parts sourced individualy.TBH I'm propably better off buying a completed secondhand kit off a trusted seller.My friend has opted for a Tippmann Omega V2 but I've never been a fan of Tippmann and he had a really early one that was crap.I have googled the hell out of HPA,there are a few HPA users at my local but I didn't have time to speak to them last time out,I will next week.Sorry to be a PITA but I don't want to be wasting ££££ to be told it's wrong after I've bought it.Pm's are welcome and so is any advice.Thanks.

Sorted,thanks.

NVM..

Update:I fitted the Maple leaf macron 60* and when chronoed with the hop on I got a low but consistent 264-274 on .25's.So it looks like I'm losing power somewhere,it was around 310fps 3 or 4 outings ago,the spring wouldn't lose that much that quick would it?

I've ordered the Macaron version now.I did suspect ammo,mags,etc but they work ok in another new Krytac.I will sort it in the end. We will sort it in the end.😁

Yes yellowy~ish 60 degree.

I opted for the white 60' but not the Macron as it was out of stock.I'll find one elsewhere.I strippedI put it back together at home and the barrel clip seemed to seat better.Thanks.

I played with my Krytac ("best aeg out of the box"🙄)Trident and tbh I'm less than impressed.I fitted a TB with the hope of improving the grouping,it made little to no difference.I then had the alcohol vs hop rubber issue and decided to upgrade the rubber to Maple leaf and Omega nub.I couldn't shift the hop unit because of the hop issue and ended up breaking it.I ordered and fitted a prometheus hop unit.Unimpressed I swapped the TB for the standard barrel and played for the rest of the day.The first bb drops and then I get perhaps 5-10 nice and straight and then a wayward bb.What I noticed with the hop unit is that I had to squeeze the barrel "clip" in with pliers,I've never had to do this before.With the crap shot the gun does sound different. So-->Std barrel or 6.02 ZCI tightbore.Prometheus hop unit.Omega nub.Maple leaf rubber.Blaster 25 bbs.Any help appreciated..

UPDATE:I bought a Turbo trainer(used it twice),then an opportunity arose for me to take on a menial job with the local council="Litter operative" easy~ish work with a lot of walking involved and I'm glad to say it is doing me the world of good.Only a week in and I can definately feel an improvement in my mobility and pain.Still not good with jumping impact but that's gone and I need to work around it.And the best part is I played the Sunday (20/03) before I started the job,fearing the worst but it's all working out fine.As I suspected it was/is lack of use that was causing the mobility and pain issues.Also I discovered that perhaps footwear is part of the issue,I wore boots for 4 days them swapped to safety trainers for 1 day and the difference is great.I may wear them at my next walk-on but I need to be wary of ankle support.Thanks for all the replies and advice...

Thanks,ordered,and yes the other one is written off,proper...😏

I tried to swap my hop rubber and nub but found my barrel was welded/glued in to the hop unit,no glue was used btw.I replaced the existing hop rubber with a Guarder rubber and replaced the original barrel with a stainless T/B.When I came to change them out this morning I could not shift the barrel,it would not come out or even twist in the hop unit,I tapped it with a pair of pliers and broke it (other thread for reccomendations BTW).The only liquid or chemical that has been in there would be alcohol form cleaning the barrel,I'm guessing that naffed the hop rubber and why I didn't get the performance I expected.Damn fool...thanks.

I need reccomendations for a replacement hop unit for my Trident SPR MK2.I broke mine beyond repair hence the change.Somehow it became "glued" to the barrel and no I didn't use any glue.Not sure why but I couldn't shift it so I tapped it with a pair of pliers and smashed it to bits,there was no way I could twist it at all.I only wanted to fit a new hop rubber and nub due to inconsistency..perhaps that's part of the issue...thanks.
