Building up the Airtac HPA adaptor

Starting the Frankencapa this week

I've done 2 build/rebuilds in the last week aimed at using at KZ. IMO you don't need a DMR as such for that site, a well set up <350 would be just as amazing. AAP with a Loki and decent carbing setup would clean up if you can get it reaching out. I'll be running the Mk23 there soon as primary. AAP though I'm going to wait until HPA ready and then take it to the Growhouse.

Upgrades have started. I went with a 5KU BBU as they're less than half the price of the Cow2 ones and generally in hi capa land the 5KU stuff is pretty decent with good tolerances. Can only echo the same thing. BBU area upgrades are completed. Got barrel/hop upgrades to do and then hammer/knocker before we stick a HPA adaptor up it. Here it is with a 5KU BBU and 5KU magwell.

Started the AAP01 build this week...

G26 advanced?

Last post of the year! Festive Fixings.

I bought it with the intention of going shotgun shell but then the thought of M4 crossed my mind being as I bought a set of EPM1S's just to use with my capa so almost makes sense, plus then there's the extra firepower of 170rnd per mag. Whatever happens, once I've done the internal mods, I'm buying one of them.

Cowcow hammer arrived today from Ebog along with a stainless knocker lock as well (learning from @leadly 's experience). Got a hi capa nozzle valve spring ready to go in, PDI inner barrel, H plate, autobot 60 also sat waiting and CTM 200% recoil and nozzle springs on the way. I plan to get a lightweight BBU as well at some point but these will do for now. Only question really is do I go shotgun shell hpa or m4 mag?

Bright idea for a new accessory

Channeling my inner Britney - Oops I did it again.

Airsoftworld sell a lot of the internals separeately. Even the upper and lowers.

Looking at the new SMR200

I'm pretty frugal anyway but the price increase on BB's lately I won't be going full auto.

3rd time is the charm then hopefully. I’ve bent and bought another. Patrolbase’s £65 cyber Monday was too good to pass on. Gone tan this time… initial thoughts, looks like a new hammer material from last time. Don’t care as I expect to swap it anyway.

Stripping and rebuilding my Redline

Won it - Let's build it!

Mk23 journey continues

Answer really is to set your hop up and then re-chrono. That way you get the most accurate result. It's common for FPS to drop as you apply hop and often you barely need the rubber into the barrel to have a significant impact.

Building a good skirmish pistol

Trigger, guide rod and plug are probably cheaper to replace than have coated. Outer barrel, 5KU ones can be had for about £35. Aluminium you can pick up AM or EDGE at the moment for £55. Probably about same cost and far less effort than getting coated.

This is very odd. AM hopups are generally fantastic. What bucking are you using? What barrel are you using? What wheel and arm are you using? Nozzle not returning, sounds like your piston head / nozzle needs a light lube and what nozzle return spring are you using?
