  1. So after stripping down the ssx23 for a clean and hop rubber change, I noticed a couple of cracks into the OEM Nov tdc, the hop arm is flat instead of concave for whatever reason...It's what you get for giving Novritsch your hard earned.. So jumped on copy(skirm)shop and ordered a Hadron TDC and H-Arm, along with the two useless wii-tech nozzle springs (180% return, 200% forward, or the other way round). Next is a set of Hadron hot lips and a stronger hammer spring, whenever I can find one.
  2. BOIIIIIS! I'm bored and I'm pissed off at AA for not releasing anything about the M-Lok handguard -.- I want to finish my smg "build" and while I'm waiting for some good parts (namely the CowCow hammer sets and triggers -or the AA triggers-) I want to do the externals at least. As of now I have installed the rail set on the stock upper and noticed a horrifying flex around the outer barrel when used with a grip, in a MP9 style. Both guns are a little bit too hot for my limit (they clock in at 1.0something) so getting a longer barrel is out of question in any case, which then removes the need for a longer front end. Range and accuracy are decent, I don't feel the need for a CNC chamber....yet Something like this, in practice (picture is not mine, the owner said it was okay to share). Just a different optic (T1), suppressor and a thin and short vertical grip. Would you dig something like this?
  3. A Vulpo cnc super duper hop chamber from Aliexpress. Basically it's an old gen MAXX (TE Pro model), for €37 posted can't complain
  4. But not all countries have to deal with political dissidents though.
  5. An adjustable trigger if that's your thing. While you have the lower cracked open, it might be worth considering the full set rather than the single hammer. As far as metal threaded barrels, I'm afraid the only option is the black mamba upper or a custom made aluminium outer barrel (shouldn't be hard to do, it's basically a cylinder with a couple of holes in it). Either case is reasonably expensive though.
  6. A red Odin M12 and a MAXX hop chamber (sport). Now I'm looking at a Magpul MOE SL handguard for my 933
  7. Maxx chamber acquired.

    Sport version at my local retailer, I wanted the pro solely for the bb retention thingy (that I can manually unlock), so I guess I'll just knock out the spring from this one.

    Performance wise, it seems to give a much flatter trajectory to them 0.32s compared to the stock specna chamber and the range seems to have increased to just shy of 70 metres (70° MR).

     

    In the meantime my 933 shat itself -.- it jams in full auto

      Well my barrel doesn't want to move even with both grub screws removed :D

      installing the CU chamber was a twat (especially the c-clip, that part was super annoying)..

      i'm sure it was a bastard getting it installed in-situ, much easier if you can remove the outer and drop-in the whole inner assembly.

    4. Skara

      Yup, but it's in there now :D

      i just pray nothing happens to it or the rubber/barrel.

  9. yeah sorry, I realized that too. 80 including the work is okay, especially when you look at EdGi average price tags. I was exhausted yesterday, so my reading and comprehension skills were equal to those of a broken fire hydrant
  10. £200 for a meh hop rubber and a fancy barrel?? Holy fuck that's a lot!
  11. Odin M12 back in stock at my favourite retailer.....

    Placed an order and forgot to put one in the cart -.-

      Yeah, no biggie...

       

      Now, for the serious question:

      Red or transparent? :D

    3. Brophy

      Brophy

      Transparent! Don't want any flashes of red to show in the tree line! :D

    4. Skara

      Skara

      Ended up with the red one, transparent went out of stock almost immediately -.-

  12. If you wanted to keep weight down, then you should have gone for a bare essential swiss arms 4x40. I had that very short dot on mine and compared to the aforementioned 4x40 it's like 3 times the weight (and bulk). Nonetheless it's a great optic for the price and gives plenty of versatility (the reticle is useless for airsoft, so being SFP isn't an issue), it might end up on one of the M4s. I went with the tdc because coming from a striker I firmly believe that it should be the standard on ALL airsoft guns. Can't get a more precise and direct pressure to the rubber than that. Plus it's stupid easy to install (the GS one does stick out a bit, if you want a low profile option then the tridos one might be a better choice). With that being said, the stock hop chamber is plenty and I'm sure it'll serve you well! It didn't seem to give bbs the infamous right curve VSRs are known for. Since you are uk based, instead of those guide rings I would have gone for a cylinder sleeve from longbow, I say it's much better as it actually centres and guides the cylinder in its travel. I plan on making my own once I find the right tubing. All things considered AA made a really good gun at a very affordable price tag!
  13. I'd worry about those two huge white squares
  14. Check my T-11 unfucking thread, the internals are the same as yours but I went for an internal suppression with a short inner and a long outer barrel. Okay it's a 1J build, but given the creep I don't think I'll have to change anything to crank the power up to 2.2 The stock hop unit is fine if you install a TDC
  15. Aaaand someone just tried to lock me out of my PP account :D

     

    Do I look like a 12yo?

      Oh fuck...Do you have their 2 stage security feature enabled?

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Yep :P

      i also have just one prepaid card linked to it that is currently empty, the guy could've done fuck all anyway :D

       

      I've posted about this scam already a while ago.

      essentially what happens is that the buyer sends you a fake screenshot from PP in which a code is required to complete the payment, at the same time you get a legit PP SMS with a security code.

      If one is dumb enough to give that code to the buyer, he gets locked out of his account because said code is used to verify your identity when changing passwords :D

      Unfortunately the average Italian IQ seems to be close to absolute zero because I see at least 2/3 people each day who have been scammed like that.

  16. Okay silicone MRs are a big fat nope.

    Maybe on sniper rifles that use AEG barrels, but wouldn't recommend them on proper AEGs.

     

    Rubber ones are fine though, I'll buy a 70 to try out.

      Come and join the PDI W hold cool club 😎 Granted the only time you tell someone about it is when they struggle with a maple leaf rubber but it's a consistent level of just right.

    3. Skara

      Skara

      FINE.

      I WILL BUY A W-HOLD.

      So you can shut the fuck up about it :P

       

      For real though, I'll get one to try out... 70°?

       

      Btw the rubber.....rubbers are fine :P it's just the silicone ones being twats

      pdi W is also my go-to for stuff that doesn't like ml. good for up to the ~.32g range (that's with a 50° on northern temperatures) but can't do the super heavies.

  17. Better than G&G imo. Gearboxes are easier to work with and they come with decent barrels and hop units out of the box. Plus they are cheaper than G&Gs while still providing steel bushings and a nice SHS piston.
  18. MAXX unit or no MAXX unit?

      in that case you're on the right path :P

      I prefer the Retro Arms chamber as it seems to offer slightly better compatibility across the board and about half the price but can be difficult to find.

      I heff one RA chamber, I bought it 4/5 years ago in and never used it because it didn't fit in Ares/G&G guns. It should be the "newer" gen one, bare metal with a red adjusment ring.

       

      I installed it yesterday in the Specna but haven't had the chance to test it out yet. Maybe tonight when I get home :D

       

      EDIT: well fuck me sideways, RA has made another chamber that uses the same exact arms and concave tensioners MAXX uses 😮 not released yet but looks interesting nonetheless :D

  19. Bought more shit for my M4s, in a desperate attempt to fix the compression: 2x FPS Type D Cylinders (300-400mm barrels, I want to keep them overvolumed to push them heavies) 2x FPS bearing piston heads 2x FPS o-ring nozzles
  20. Today was a good day. Started off with my M4 acting up, so I ended up playing with the ak, which had some hop inconsistencies (the CU chamber is super sensitive and it was either overhop to the moon or not enough hop), but nonetheless it performed nicely. A bit on the heavy side (I'm weak) but the folding stock is really a godsend when moving through thick vegetation. Teamwork is building up, saw good communication and coordination between the teams We also have two new members, with a third one joining in two weeks, nice to see new, younger people getting into the sport Now that we are in lockdown for easter so I might get the chance to fix all these stupid technical issues.
  21. Maybe green, for that watermelon look
  22. Okay.

    Combat Union chamber properly fitted (I think), power went up slightly from 0.9 to 0.92/0.93.

    In the meantime, the SHS nozzle in my M4 bought the farm, 0.05J and serious feeding issues, so switched back to the stock one (which is fucking useless as it doesn't seal for shit)..

     

    One day I'll get good at teching, I promise.

  23. Don't worry, I update it semi-regularly, if something worth writing happens.
