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.

No that was my amazing Chinese brand phone not autocorrecting scree to screw. Screw, I've had to use Guarder screws as the TM ones just didn't like the Guarder casings.

Those guarder mag cases are a game changer aren't they? Made carrying 3 spare mags on my belt less of a nightmare and more of a not noticing they're there. Interesting you've had to modify feed lips though, mine have been fine but I did have problems with the big scree through the middle, I resorted to using guarder versions as I rounded 2 TM ones off. Guarder case on a primary adapter makes a good combo ?

At least you know if someone pulls out a minigun you don't need to run.

Just let loose on another onetigris placard back and triple AR mag front piece, really like the setup for my.indoor rig so had another for outdoor.

Never played against a mini gun have you? Probably run about 20 metres and you're out of range ?

6 in dark earth for my buddy and 5 in black for me ? Doesn't sound as good like that though.

Just ordered 11 EPM1's ?

Very much so. I fancied a parrallel path to my Hi Capa. For outdoors I have an SRS sniper and a G&G SRS P* although I am tempted to try the AAP in a few "closer range" outdoor scenarios.

Think this'll ruffle some feathers of people who wear Crye everything and call each other by callsign.

Cheap Hi Capa outer barrels you say? Ansolutely check out my product overview of the MakeIt3D printed outer barrels

Man this thread is epic. Love that you've built your pistol for Z mart. This lockdown has really channeled people into doing these kinds of builds. So much progress and that feeling when parts arrive you can't replace.

Primary Glock>M4 HPA adapter arrived earlier today. 80psi is about that of the weaker duster gas, 110psi is touted as green gas but as our climate is fairly cold we rarely see above 90psi from our green.

80psi and with 0.25g BB's I'm getting between 280 and 296 with around 293/295 the most common. Hop is not set as I don't have the range so need to factor that in a bit but not too shabby. Puts it very near the 1J marker I "prefer" to play with indoors. Expecting the PDI barrel to nudge it over which sits it squarely in the same region as my capa's. The upgraded nozzle valve spring should calm that variation down a bit as well. Ran a couple of mags through, doesn't feed quite as nicely as my capa setup does but it does enough and they are dinky cheap little mags not the Ares 140's i usually play with.

Primary and 140% recoil have turned up just now. May be having a play with those later.

Nozzle return spring is well worth doing. I have an AIP 140 in mine, it sits on the locator and makes the nozzle super snappy. Very much needed if you're short stroking. I'm on about the nozzle valve spring though... that is apparently very hit and miss. https://www.rainbow8.com/collections/hicapa-customparts/products/nozzle-valve-spring I accidentlaly ordered one of these earlier as well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140-C-C-Tac-AAP-01-Recoil-Spring/274684454775?hash=item3ff4782777:g:ue0AAOSwopxgFXEa I know Waldo is due to bring his own out at some point soon and I'll probably swap to those when he does but these are good for now.

Anyone done anythign abotu the nozzle valve spring yet? Been reading they can be a bit flim-flam and cause inconsistency, I haven't done any "decent" chrono tests yet with mine as I don't intend to run it on gas but I did notice it was quite varied. Am tempted to throw in a spare TM one I have whilst I wait for the CowCow one to arrive.

Dammit, don't you just hate it when a PDI barrel falls into your basket and checks itself out?
