Pretty much what I'm going for, at least it won't be as loud as it is now which gives me away when I'm stalking the enemy.

I actually have some of the Abbey gun grease in my Toolbox already, so I will definitely get some more. I'll take a look at the CV stuff and see what the consistency is like, may be a better / longer lasting option. Cheers Lozart

I shall investigate the usage of the Helical gears, but it may be a future project that they get used on as it seems to be a large time sink for the "perfect" shimming, and not much gain. Although if the noise in my gearbox is reduced and the gears are causing the noise, I shall add them after the rest of the options. As for the Greasing, would this be suitable? -- http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/grease/comma-cv-lith-moly-grease-500g I realise it is a lot, but if it's perfect for the usage I will have it spare for other guns I end up maintaining.

Does the installation of these require short stroking the pistion? It seems like they are for a high Torque ROF build, pulling the stronger spring back and releasing it quicker.

I've done a bit of a look around for helical gears and every post baring thos in here state they are louder than standard gears. Even when shimmed correctly. For example - http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/topic/178949-extremely-irritated-helical-gears/ There most posts about them are nearly 3+ years old also, so are they really beneficial or is this just the old goto which is no longer relevant?

Welcome! I hope you stick around to tell us how it goes for your first day! That setup looks to be pretty decent for his first gun, the CM raider should last him a long while so long as care is taken for it! Only thing missing from it is eyepro (Safety glasses / goggles) which is the only major must have item. As for the License, Firstly it's not a license. It's a registration database which is used to show that you are a member of a certain site and that under the VCRA you hold a 'Defence' or reason for the purchase of a Real imitation firearm. I'm sure someone will point you to the VCRA thread detailing what you should know. However to purchase that setup, you are free to do so as I assume the Bright green is 2-tone over 51% of the imitation firearm, which you do not need a Defence to purchase.

Personal preference is all, I am more comfortable running my CQB M4 than I am running a sub-style weapon. I have no idea why...

I'm going to compile a quick list from all of these. - Shimming - Needs to be spot on - Airbrake / Sorbopad (I thought it was Neoprene cheers!) - Helical gears (Not sure what these are to be honest will look). - Glue in bushings (What does this add?) - AoE - Cylinder / Barrel teeth ratio - Fixed suppressor (Would assume this muffles the snap of air out of the barrel rather than the gearbox itself) - Motor Height - Grease thickness (Would this not deteriorate the internals? Too thick would stop it spinning at all) Suppose i should mention my GB has a 110 in it then.

Hey guys, Looking to silence my M4's gearbox and was taking a look at the various ways to do so. Obviously one major part is the Piston head when it slams into the cylinder, and to stop that I was looking at either getting some Neoprene (I think it's Neoprene) foam as some searches on google have guides to using this for a quieter slam effect, or this -- http://www.taiwangun.com/en/piston-heads/silent-piston-head?from=listing&campaign-id=20. I'm kind of thinking that I also need to take a look at the motor also, as it makes a nice whirring noise when it spins, does anyone have some suggestions for a quieter motor? Or how to silence it?

Managed to persuade mine to play with me at the start of this year. She now plays regulary and has her own kit (Gone for the SBS blackout with MP5). I have to say, it's good to be able to spend a day playing silly soldiers with her, as it's one more thing we can talk about. It's also something completely different and allows her to join in more conversations with me and my friends. I do get a bit pissed off with other players who feel the need to 'Dominate' their enemies, especially the lasses, and especially when you know they've been hit because of the squeel.

If he is caught with an IF, he will most likely be prosecuted again. Remember, that until it is declared an IF by a proffesional (Gun tech or such). It is treated as a Realistic firearm. Saying this, something like your circumstance is COMPLETLY grey in the eyes of the Law, and is probably something that we as a community should ask the government to clearly define.

I think it's funny that SAB have only just started requiring their players to play with locked setups. My Team left them because players where shooting hot, and the marshalls were doing sod all. 350FPS with a .28? Yeah thats not illegal... Anyway, heads up for Skirmish new rules. AEG - 350FPS. with .2 DMR - 365 FPS with .2 (Quick note, they will not accept custom made DMRs, they need to be factory made DMR, of which there are 3? in existance, this is at the behest of the Site owner) They do not appear to allow DMR's anymore. Sniper - 400FPS with .2 MED for DMR / Sniper is 30m. PolarStars need to be "Tournament Locked", meaning you can't change it mid game and you're not allowed the tools in the play area to do so. Have fun, and let me know how they run it.

A couple of games i've played with .25s in my Med caps and .3s in my hi. When the kids weren't calling hit on the 25 i swapped out for a few shots. I don't recommend playing with your Hop mid game though, you're normal accuracy will change because of it.

.25's in My M4 will hit out to about 40 meters. Further if i start using it as a mortar. I checked, and it can lift .36 but personally you start to sacrifice range / speed when you use higher weights. I've yet to try .28 but i doubt I will, the hop is setup for .25. They travel fast enough for me to take out people with doubletaps, they hit hard enough so people call hit and they're white so i can see where they fall off and adjust my aim accordingly. It depends on what you want to use, buy a couple bags of different weights (.23, .25, .28 & .30) and take them out in the skirmish for a day. Play as normal and see what feels good to use.

I read the same reviews as yourself before purcahsing the 701, as well as checking for upgrade availability and access to parts. In all honesty the 701 offers more. The 702 looks different, and as you've said, from other reviews, it has issues. The 701 comes with 3 mags and a speedloader, Its the standard kit for this offer.

The Furniture is different i believe.

It depends on how technical you are. The Gun itself is fully compatible with the VSR10 parts as the other post i put up, so using ASPUK for parts would be a good way to look after it!

No worries, if you want a scope for it also -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/CVLIFE-3-9x40-Optics-Sniper-Hunting/dp/B007UT3OFC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_200_9?ie=UTF8&refRID=0APWWXA5C3G16DTC2JRN Please bear in mind, you will need to spend some time Zeroing this as it won't be setup out of the box. I know a couple of sites in Kent that do range days, so if you're near them it would be worth it.

Here you go guys, very simple to follow. http://imgur.com/a/mUV78 At the moment, it's firing .36's at 30 meters point on. Probably 9/10 shots going where you want them to.

Yeah it is exactly that. I've got the photos sorted for the basic rifle, i'll take the disected ones and upload them to Imgur in a moment.

Hey Dude, just seen your comments. To be honest i've not tried it in the range yet, i'll have a play tomorrow (sunday) and let you know. As for the scope, its a simple 9x40 that you can buy from Amazon for £25. Works great, but i've found that in the rain it fogs up A LOT.. TWG Do not 2-Tone, so if you want to go this route, i'd recommend playing three games first with borrowed kit (Hire on day because most sites have a selection to try from, so you might even find you like the feel of an M4 or AK?). As for the pics in your latest post, Again, i'll try to do them tomorrow as i'll be home then.

I own the CYMA 701b. Purchased from Taiwangun for £80. To begin with: If you are comfortable to lay down, wait for about 30 minutes for one kill, and move on then carry on. Onto the gun itself: The Gun breaks into three sections, The furniture is Plastic, make no mistakes. As such it is very light, this can be fixed by using weights / poly filler or whichever. (I actually would suggest using filler of some kind, as it removes the reverbrations of sound from inside the furniture) The Barrel / Trigger Mech / Cylinder are the heaviest parts, and in balance it easily requires a strong support arm otherwise you're going to have a bad time balancing. There is a trigger guard which comes seperately and requires you to attach it to the trigger mech before then attaching to the furniture. Three screws, farily secure with no movement. As for upgrades, this will completely accept VSR10 uprgades. - Check here for a complete list of parts / and a guide to doing so. It fires (Chronoed personally and at shop): .2 = 490 FPS .36 = 365 FPS For aethsetics you can potentially buy a M700 wood furniture for this, and with a little bit of work, it will sit snugly. As for the mags comment above, you get 3 with the gun from TWG and each one after is £10 a pop My main concerns with the rifle out of the box? It has a crimped metal cylinder. This WILL become fragile and break with wear, So I completely suggest changing it sooner than later. It is light, as mentioned above. There are no sling loops. Anything you would like to know specifically?

They are great radio's when you get them setup. As above, I suggest getting the cable for the channel setup. Also, be aware that if you want the Throat mic (security style), it does not fit around a >20inch neck and has transmission issues. I've had 3 from Amazon, all working impressively however there are features that my other team-mates don't actually use. For Instance, It can receive FM Radio - I use this but noone else does... (It cuts the radio when receving a transmission). The torch?! Manual Programmable channels (These are usefull when you play with people using the UV5's because you can scan down the frequency. Be carefull however because the UV-5R broadcasts at >1mw which is too much for use in the UK without a license) Wideband vs Narrowband (You're no more than a mile away, it makes no difference).
