      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.

      Yup, but it's in there now :D

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

  2. Skara
    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

    £200 for a meh hop rubber and a fancy barrel?? Holy fuck that's a lot!

      Yeah, no biggie...

       

      Now, for the serious question:

      Red or transparent? :D

    3. 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 -.-

    It has a 45° sear, which is made of pot metal. Plus it comes in at 450ish FPS, which isn't good for that kind of locking mechanism. Moreover, the piston is plastic, but it's not AA T-10 quality, it's made of some cheapy plastic and doesn't last very long even at 1J. Unfortunately it's the theme of these VSR clones (even the TM one has 45° sears and plastic piston, but it clocks in at 0.8J and the quality/tolerances are miles ahead). I'd send it back and swap it for a better gun, the A&K M24 comes with 90° steel sears and it'll last much longer, on top of giving a smoother action of the bolt.

    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!

    I'd worry about those two huge white squares

    TM recoil (magazine) syndrome

    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

    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.

    Ding dong, your assumption is wrong I worked on my M4s tonight, the ak is doing fine so I'm leaving it alone until it breaks I'm using ZCI barrels @concretesnail I'll have another go with it tomorrow on a different gun and update if something funny happens

    Tested my new compression parts, silicone MR was installed and the chrono readings were the following (hop all the way off): 325, 300, 240, 170, 90, jam. Didn't test full auto for obvious reasons. Good ol' rubber 50° MR in, constant 315 without hop, constant 325 with hop applied. No power drops in full auto. It has something to do with the lips, also the fact that bbs are super hard to manually push past the contact patch without any pressure from the arm tells me there's something wrong with these new rubbers.
  13. Skara
    Don't. I've had only issues with those. Regular MRs are great though.
  14. Skara

    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.

  15. Skara
    The AS-02 barrel is 310mm in length, a 300mm will fit but it'll barely grab the plastic spacer at the end of the outer.
  16. Skara
    That is an option but it's not what I was talking about.. You see the cutout below the spur gear's bearing? it allows the wires to bypass the motor pinion completely
  17. Skara
    Try installing a fucking Perun unit after you've installed a Titan or did a simple rewire with Alpha They use some ultra soft jelly wire that is an absolute thundercunt to keep in place -.-
  18. Skara
    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.
  19. Skara
    Dremel a slit on the left half shell so that you can route all the wires through it and avoid getting them wrecked by the pinion. Or just keep them in place with a dab of hot glue. I've done mine with Alpha 16AWG wire and didn't have any issue

    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

  21. Skara
    they are €42 new, doubt you'll be able to shift them for more than €30

    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

    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.

    Maybe green, for that watermelon look

    Bought a Source bladder from them through eBay. Everything went as planned and it was even cheaper than buying locally, go figure 'twas the last thing I bought from the U.K. pre brexit.
