If you can cancel the Tapp adapter. Cancel it. Tapp are know for feed issues, Primary adapter is where you want to be looking. Similar price, far better product. M4 mags in a pistol is fine. It's functional, efficient and if you already have M4 mags why go elsewhere? I just got some EPM1's for mine. So much awesomeness lol

Gas routers are one component to this. The TM mags may require a stronger hammer spring to get more from them.

@Alimcdyou won't look back. This is the way!

Another week and another video, cannot wait to start getting some gameplay going but for now, let's have a look at my AAP01 in it's current form. Also a bonus video, been working on that Golden Match again, chronoing on 0.25's at 80psi, this thing should be called vindaloo it's that spicy lol

My AA mag has annoyed me, it seems to jam right near the top where the dual stack merges to 1. Have a guarder aluminium case for it coming soon so that should fix it. Newer aaps are now coming with a better hammer, it's shiny silver, apparently more durable. Did a quick test on consistency with nozzle valve spring and really firmed up results, consistent 299 now.

Had a CowCow CCT-TMHC-030 arrive this morning, using the shiny steel spring as supposedly this increases consistency as I've noticed I get about 4-5 shots at 299 then a shot dips to 278/279 then back to 299. (Chrono on 0.25s). Installed but will test later in the week.

Give Hi Capa Hub a shout, he's just messaged me a picture of some AM frames.

This week's dropped earlier than I expected. Anyway, some conquest action from the local CQB and a very hyped up can't wait for the 18th May as I'm booked into another CQB for a 13 hour session. Yes going to be full of bruises that week!

Lol amazing, I'm due a trip over to see Kyle soon to pick up a magwell. Trying to delay it to fit in with picking up the cat 😂

Meanwhile I've been speaking with Matt from Makeit3D today about getting one of these made up to his exacting standards. https://primaryairsoft.us/collections/glock/products/4-3-outer-barrel-with-threads

Supposedly some have already been shipped to the US (or so a US retailer has said). Usually AM drop an image on their social media and they're available that day from the stockists. The 4.3 Battlecat push has been a little unique in the way they have approached it. I'm hearing rumbles of April, not sure early or late but April has been mentioned by a couple of informed people and giving a couple of weeks for HK to ship to US sounds about right. I think the long and short of it is to look at a 5.1 battlecat and imagine it smaller, suppsedly they've been shaped for the 3.8 frame so on a 4.3 they'll look good (straight lines where your frame is) but if you run a 3.8 frame you'll have a cutaway like the 5.1's do.

Small update on where I am with my little channel and where I want to go with it. Over the last week I've invested in a proper GoPro to improve the quality of the footage on my videos, the £30 Apeman just isn't cutting it any more and I've also upgraded my video editor software and brought that up to date as well (Magix/Sony/Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum is currently only £30 for anyone interested). With regards to the footage, the last however many weeks have been fun going over the technicals and spec lists of my weapons and I've not really started on my "primary" weapons yet but as we are now less than a month away from getting back out there I will be swinging my focus towards some honest gameplay footage, no hit marker stuff, just honest POV of some of the game situations and sites I go to with the odd montage added in for when there has been a fast paced CQB session. Speaking of which... there is now another CQB due to open up within 20 minutes of where I live which is going to give me a nice variance of location especially when tied in to my montly "big" outing with the rest of the Recon101 guys. My channel has already hit my first self imposed milestone and has surpassed 50 subscribers, not sure how or why given most of the content is me ranting about how shite Golden Eagle pistols are but thank you to those already subbed and for anyone reading and who isn't yet, please do give me a sub as I would really like to make it to 100 subs before summer. Overall I'm super exctied to be getting back out next month and given how much turmoil is caused online by clickbaited videos, false claims of many descriptions and the general focus on promoting "angst". I am looking forward to reflecting a true airsoft experience even if it doesn't get my views into the thousands. A lot of love going out to "my guys" @Flintlock @DECO290597 - can't wait to get back out as a group again and a strong nod in the direction of @KJB as I can't wait for us to start hitting up the CQB's locally and causing a ruckus! 😎

Changed things up a bit this week. Different camera (better) and differnt mic (worse) and just a short update on the progress of the Golden Match

Ordered a GoPro8. It's kind of airsoft oriented as I will use it if nothing else to record what airsoft is like for me so for the next 6 months of no action I can at least see myself playing it lol

Hype is building. Can't wait to see yours!

I like it but I don't all at the same time. I like how adaptable the AAP is and how it isn't the ugliest kit I've ever seen but just cant help but feel this kind of thing detracts from the usability of an AAP as the pistol it is.

Anything WE based is fine. You "can" use TM ones but the gas router is concave whereas on WE it is flat so you lose some gas runnning TM ones.

@leadly

Yes it is a touch bottom heavy at the moment. May swap the mag case for a guarder aluminium to see if I can lose some weight. I bet it's because I copy/pasted from my Google photos. Will upload properly tomorrow.

Say Shhhh to those loud fill TM mags with this little add on

Thank you @Skara for the words of encouragement. Seems an amount of dremeling resulted in me achieving my goal.

Installed the charging ring and flared magwell last night. removed a short stroke and I think it just about solved the feeding issues. Bit low I can only use 1 buffer but to be fair it's plenty fast enough as it is anyway. got a bit of an issue in that the primary adapter doesn't fit with the magwell so need to "adjust" one of them but not sure which. Any ideas?

Correct. Stock barrel is 129mm from what I can find and PDI have copied this, you can get away with a 130mm but I wouldn't want anything more without a suppressor or tracer.

PDI barrel arrived this morning. What a beauty she is as well! Even has the oring at the end to ensire it's centered correctly and ideal length of 129mm. Strange how the ZCI was only 1mm longer but seemed to sit so much further forward. Anyway, installed it this evening and couldn't help but do a quick test fire. Again at 80psi I was getting roughly 300fps with a 0.25 which is about perfect for what I want. I have noticed though a fairly bad feeding problem only getting about 1 in every 3 or 5 shots a BB comes through. When I strip down for the nozzle valve spring I'll look into this more closely but did also notice the flow valve in the mag is leaking as well so that's going to get pulled out, lubed and then likely upgraded.

Keep telling myself no more but I've just bought a black CNC magwell and charging handle to "finish it off". Will update with pics when they arrive.
