  1. As expected, the ak2m4 parcel was delivered before the one from Emperion, which was ordered 3 days ago. Fucking bullshit postal service -.-
  2. The same stuff that just happened but then degenerated in a series of personal attacks which eventually ended up with Duff being banned and the catchphrase "you pulled a Duff" being coined.
  3. I was just about to remind everyone about the love story between you and @Duff
  4. Barrel length does not affect range nor accuracy on its own, it affects the energy output and the cylinder to barrel volume ratio. Actually over the years we have seen better performance from shorter barrels than with longer ones. Also tight bores cause more issues than benefits. Back on topic: Just received a new ZCI 6.02x247 because my previous one has some nasty shit inside that throws my bbs way off. The old one will be used for experiments Along with it, a pair of SHS nozzles with o-rings to enhance the seal on my M4s and two of those round brass delayers that should help with the increased nozzle length (21.45mm instead of the stock 21.30). And a bottle of what I thought was silicone oil but turned out to be silicone spray -.- On the "should arrive within the next Ice Age" list: bunch of parts for the AK from @ak2m4 and my replacement PTS EPG grip + a bottle of proper silicone oil from Emperion (hopefully they'll throw in one of their dank patches too)
  5. If I turn a barrel from 6.02 to say 6.03/6.04 in the last 3/4 centimetres or so, will I fuck it up?

    My 247mm 6.02 ZCI has some wonky rock hard deposit of unknown stuff just before the crown and it keeps messing with accuracy.

    I don't want to bin it because I like the wider hop window.

      i dunno, he also comes from the country that gave us beretta and franchi, so they can sometimes get it right.

      Woah that's racist ?

      I'm buying a new barrel anyway (zci 6.02x247, branded "gun five" here in italy, €16 lmao) so I'll use this ruined one for experiments.

      My club tech has a lathe I can use, so I'll give the crazy jet ripoff a go, if it fails, I'll cut and recrown and maybe use it on my PDW, or the AK even since both use 230-ish barrels :D

      you know we love ya :P

  6. because there is only a set limit for direct uploads. I suggest using a picture hosting website and then copy the links in here. I use imgur for that.
  7. Before doing it, take the gun apart to check for more shady shit the seller "forgot" to tell you.
  8. get some barrel nut washers, the nut is most likely bottoming out on the threads without even touching the barrel.
  9. We don't talk about it. We have to include all minorities, including mentally challenged people.
  10. I think most AAP carbine kits are fucking ugly, some are so bodged up it's outstanding that they can hold together..
  11. 13:1 all the things?

     

    Only the AK is left to do now ?

      probably.

       

      had to laugh when i was looking at them with the elite model "upgrade" over the advanced was just that you get access to the titan world rankings, woop de fucking doo......

      Well you do get a slider instead of 5 definite steps on the trigger sensitivity tuning and a few other things, but the extra €50 are not justified imo.

       

      Was comparing my Advanced with my mate's Expert and apart from that (which I solved with a MAXX adjustable trigger because swag and beacuse it's easier to fine tune a screw rather than a slider on a shit smartphone -.-) I haven't found anything worth..

    4. Adolf Hamster

      The slider is on the advanced? At least i distinctly remember a slider.

       

      Maybe a beta feature?

  12. WEs for standard, I still say WE for extended. My AW extended didn't fare well the last time... okay it was pretty cold and I was using GG but fuck's sake a complete fill lasted 10 shots -.- meanwhile the standard WE mags ran flawlessly all day
  13. Yep, I'm running a MR 50° but I didn't phrase it right. What I meant is: will it hop 0.32s at 24 rps without acting funny? I also need some high caps (because reloading every once in a while is fun), but from what I've seen mp5 high caps are a bit shit.
  14. Fucking bang on. Ran flawlessly throughout the day. Very pleased with it, just need to test if it can lift 0.32s.
  15. PTS grips might look cool but they are a fucking design disaster..

    Holy shit.

      Fine.

      I'll redo the wiring on the 933 -.- but if the motor sits at a fucked angle I'm returning both grips and try the beaver tailed ones (They appear to be regular grips, but with fancy textures)

    3. Skara

      Asked for a return on one of the grips.

      Can anyone confirm that the regular EPG (the one with the beaver tail) is exactly the same as a regular grip?

       

      From what I have seen, the motor plate is 1:1 with an A2, so I expect the wire routing to be the same.

      I think they have the same geometry as the old PTS MOE grips (back when the still had the Magpul License). They had to change the texturing to distance the design from Magpul's when the license was pulled.

       

      The old grips were a PITA because of the base plate - didn't play nice with many motors (you didn't have enough height adjustment to back the motor out far enough). Hopefully that's been sorted on the newer design.

  16. If I run my smersh I have all the mags on my left and counter balance with a bag of BBs on the right pouches. I typically don't do the fancy hand switching "weak side" shooting anymore, so I have virtually no need to keep mags on my right side. When I run my chest rigs I do have 1/2 mags on the right and they are the first ones to be "used" when the game's over or when I have plenty of time to reload, I like to keep my belt mag and the 1st on the left for "emergency" reloads as they are naturally the quickest and easiest ones to access in a pinch. Either way, personal preference really. Back in the day when I had one of those super cheap vests with mag pouches on the right, it was a bitch to reload as I had to: a) cross draw mags and b) have fun getting G36 mags out of single stack M4 pouches
  17. Magwells seem to be an issue for people running HPA taps or drum mags, most people just don't use them. If it's a small amount of material that needs to be removed, I'd say go ahead and dremel the crap out of it (magwell, wouldn't touch the adapter).
  18. One EPG-C in FDE for my 933 One EPG-C in black for my other Specna Emperion as always being top notch
  19. Finger, this is piston. Piston, this is finger *now kiss* Pretty much what happened, the crime scene was the rear cutout section of the box.
  20. This. Can't stress enough the importance of testing kit on the field. I honestly like it, pretty minimalist (almost speedsoft-y which is always good) I'd just swap the black pouches with something either green or multicam (but that's me hating on black kit). give it a run as soon as you're allowed to play and make changes accordingly
  21. I give up. Shimmed for the SHS motor and A2 grip, put the gun back together and installed the zci motor by mistake. Fucking bang on (the adjustment screw is just a smidge from rotating freely). What the fuck. Aight, imma keep it this way, in the meantime I managed to get my ring finger caught by the piston while testing (don't ask how, because I legit have no clue) so now the gearbox is lubricated with blood This gun is cursed, it's probably going to kill me in my sleep someday..
  22. Is it me or Odin M12s are absolutely impossible to find??

    1. Lozart

      Lozart

      Zshot that were manufacturing them seem to have gone dark, maybe drop Odin Innovations a message and see if they know what's happening?

  23. Nevermind, there was some crap stuck in a bearing I've officially reverted back to the stock KA gearbox, whenever my PTS grips arrive I'll test the ZCI motor in my specnas and use the SHS HT in this one with the stock grip. I might even get a game day with the thing before retiring
  24. I think it's the bevel... Can I swap it with a different one or will it fuck the ratio?
  25. So, smol update. Since I have bought them PTS (genuine ones, not clones since they were just as expensive lol) grips I transferred one of the stock specna A2s on this gearbox.. ZCI motor still sits too high, SHS motor sits fine, can be adjusted, but the box is grindy as fuck (most likely because the bevel is super high, or because the gears are fucked or something is wrong with this new box). At this point I will proceed in this order: 1) reshim (spur first) to accept a SHS HT and use the zci in one of the specnas, probably the 933; 2) revert back to the stock KA gearbox and keep this 8mm one as a spare. Shame, as I thought it would work
