I'd highly recommend buying and using the TM LIPO batteries for the MP5 series. It's expensive to get the battery, cell checker and charger (£200+) however the battery plus sensor wire is designed for the MP5 NGRS series so will probably stop the ECU's failing. For info the TM battery is a 35C LIPO and the MP5 runs much better on the TM battery than is does on my other LIPO's I've been using (25C).

Marayama and Archwick B&T ACP9K Pro's

Cheers for the link but the 3D parts are only a short term measure as I should get my hands on a boneyard SCAR this weekend to rob bits from.

Here's how it looks now with the 3D parts attached.

May 17

rebuilding a knackered SCAR and needed to make a couple of bits

The part below replaces the front sight.

Lambda Defence with SD kit, Marayama and Archwick GBB's. On Vorsk 6 gas and using .2g BB's we get 340 FPS on the Lambda, 320 on the Archwick and 315 on the Marayama. The Lambda is the softest shooting and could do with some beefier bolt return springs and it's a bit underwhelming to fire. If you are after quality and performance then get the Archwick as it's outstanding. I tried it with 0.3g's and it had no issues lifting them and the hop still had more life in it and I think it probably could do 0.36g BB's out the box.

If the straight mag version is what you want, but on a budget, them Marayama are (or already have) releasing a straight mag version with the spare mags around £25 overseas which is about 1/2 the price of the Archwick mags but sadly I doubt they will be compatible between GBB's.

Oh and the Lambda magwell is annoying as VFC and Raven mags can move forwards and backwards, sometimes releasing a little gas, which is a bit annoying. Some sticky backed foam inside the magwell will sort it.

£175-£200

Anyone needing their "street Sweeped?"

A couple of shotguns.

It's right there in the thread title...

Yeah, but who read them? obviously not me.

It would be useful to know the AK make. If it's TM spec then there is this set:

if it's Inokatsu, Guarder or LCT then the LCT wooden kits will fit.

They are a copy of the Knights Armament iron sights and allows you to be a cool German SF type.

I did not know that thanks for the information. Does the CYMA have the lock on empty function? Since the MP5 came out I am hoping a G3 range is on its way.

No, it's a copy of the original type 3 AK recoil from TM. It's a CM.046 if you want to check it out.

Scythian · April 9

I like my VFC MPX AEG but I've never been a fan of the fat handguard. So off to the secret underground lair and I knocked up a version I prefer.

People keep saying that, but what exactly is a massive innovation that another company has made? Everything is still fundamentally based on TM designs. I notice no one has cloned a Recoil other than the AA12.

Valid comments however Army made a nice clone of the recoil M4's (I've got one here that works a treat) and CYMA knocked out a recoil AK which was slightly better than the TM version because it took normal AEG AK mags straight out the box.

I still think TM lead the way as all the other innovations have either been expensive, failed or both. Systema PTW, ICS split gearbox, GBLS, TOP shell ejecting AEG to name a few.

Now it's unlikely TM will be reading this but just in case, hurry up and make a recoil G3 and stick a mosfet in the M4 recoil platform.

Enid_Puceflange · April 1

thinking about getting a rail extension for my Scar so I printed a 3D version to see if I like the look.

RostokMcSpoons · March 30

I like it. it's a Striborg SPG9 which is unofficially known as the poor mans ARP9 but seems well liked by the shooting community in the US. I made a 3D printed version a while back.

DanBow · March 22

Bought the S&T HK416 PDW with the idea of stealing the front end for my TM 416C recoil but sadly the rail doesn't fit. Since that meant I was keeping the S&T in one piece I binned the terrible PDW stock with a HK marked stock I had floating around and stuck on some HK iron sights as well. turns out it's quite a nice budget AEG.

Egon_247 · March 22

did a couple of things 3D printer related. First up, as I'm an idiot I managed to break the stock catch on my Well PPK20. Well make the part replaceable but currently there aren't any parts available so I designed one and sent it off to be printed in aluminum. I got a few extras for when I'm an idiot again.

Next up I printed some of the impact grenades in a luminescent filament I had floating around.

and lastly I designed a ammo tin styled box for the impacts for no other reason that I wanted to use my laser cutter.

Scythian · March 19

I just used a bunch of old aeg springs I have floating around. doesn't seem to need a M110.

rj1986 · March 17

so good news and bad news. I replaced a few more parts and managed to fix the ECU. It ran for about 1 mags worth of BB's and died again once I did a bit of rapid semi auto.

*EDIT*

So I stripped it down again and luckily the motor connector had come away from the motor and once reattached the MP5 is now running fine. I'll give it a run out next weekend to see if it holds up.

It's looking like I fixed the ECU.

March 15

so the new Mosfets turned up and I replaced the knackered one. Still get the red light of death however I've stripped the board out again and found another 2 shorted resistors and a Cap showing open circuit. Now need to order these parts and fit them.

I've got to say that working on the MP5 is quite nice as it strips down really easily.

We had to put the infill up. I think it was 100%.

Are your caps held on with bolts or screws? We used teeny tiny screws and I think it weakened it a bit.

yeah, I'm upping the infill to 100% and I'm using bolts.

Egon_247 · March 10

update on the grenades, I had 3 break, friends steal 5, had one go off in my hand killing 9 of my teammates which was a comedy gold moment and generally they performed as well as I hoped they would. I'm going to knock up another load (and increase the infill on the parts that broke).

they cost about £1 to make and I can't fault them.

We've printed a couple of these. just waiting on some cap rings to test them. Had a bit of an issue with the "sear" but superglued some 600 grit to the bottom to see if that helped hold it when setting it. Printed in white too, so i dont lose the damn thing!

I found that by flipping the spring over (i.e. what was at the top is now at the bottom) fixes that issue.

I ended up printing 10 of them and I also found that my Quake impact deadly customs holder is a good fit.

March 8

So the parts arrived and I fitted the new diode and amp and.... it still doesn't work but it's not all bad news.

I can connect a battery and go into dry fire mode and it happily flashes blue however as soon as I pull the trigger in either mode it turns solid red. I stripped it back down and I found that one of the mosfets has a short between source and drain. I think I missed that when checking the board. I've ordered some however it's from Aliexpress and no where else seems to have the SM4391NSKP mosfet even listed on their site.

When they turn up I'll replace all 3 and see what happens.

On another note, I found that if you get a solid red light followed by 3 quick red flashes then you have a motor issue.
