    Found my old ICS inner barrel.

    185mm long, not sure about the diameter but I suspect a 6.08/6.05, has a nice grey finish, made of aluminium (or aluminum?).

     

    It's just 5 centimetres longer than my ARP inner (128mm, shit finish).

     

    Shall I go for a swap?

      ICS stock barrels are actually fairly good and definitely an upgrade on the ARP. It is Aluminium but very nicely made considering. 5CM will make a fair amount difference, you might want to check your FPS on full auto as the cylinder might not be matched.

      Swapped barrels, it falls just short of my sound hog.

      (Terribad pic, I know)

       

      If this setup ends up working well, I will get a 5.5cm barrel extension machined next week so the whole inner is covered and I can use a madbull gemtech can.

      It looks good with the trademarks and, in a minimal way, muffles the muzzle sound.

       

      Believe it or not but at range it actually worked on my old ICS.

       

      Also yeah, I'll have to check the fps and correct the cylinder volume ratio/cut down the spring.

    Nice view from my new office :P

      That looks terrible....

       

      There's no cover and you're vulnerable from left, right and behind!

      Is your office a pill box?

    I have that shim in my Arp9, I used to have it in my 009 back when I had an aftermarket hop chamber and now I have to use one in my AS02. I'm trying to lift 0.30s with a 50° decepticon rubber and the Omega tensioner, while people easily lift 0.45+g BBs with the same setup.
  4. Skara
    Small question regarding hop ups. Is it normal that I have to make a shim on every freaking hop chamber I have on my RIFs, otherwise they wouldn't apply enough pressure? Here's a quick terribad drawing, the shim is the blue part between the arm and the tensioner
  5. Skara
    There is definitely something wrong. The gun now applies hop, but with the wheel all the way down it barely hops 0.3s. I think it's because the tensioner is too short and, just like every other hop up in my possession, requires a tiny shim made from half a biro cartridge. No biggie, as I have about a dozen of those already made from old standard tensioners it's just a matter of dropping it in between the arm and the tensioner itself.
  6. Skara
    Okay, reinstalling the tensioner + arm seems to have fixed the issue. Will properly test tomorrow
  7. Skara
    50° is the softest. My striker is set to 325,4 on 0.2s, juuust a tiny pubic hair below the limit (0.99J). Has no joule creep at all so it fires at 0.9J on 0.3s anyway. That hardness is recommended by ML for guns firing below 110 m/s (360.8 fps). I don't think I'll have to cut the tensioner as it's rather tiny compared to my prommy flat tensioners, but I'll check anyway!
  8. Skara
    Will do tonight. I'm quite pissed as I can't revert to the stock configuration because I don't have a spare bridged barrel At least now I can stop begging for coins at corners the arm has a notch meant to house the round top part of the tensioner, most likely I didn't install it correctly as I did it in a rush yesterday. will also remove the metal ring from the rubber and see what happens.
  9. Skara
    Something is not right. I have filed down the bridge, installed the hop rubber (with the provided metal ring), installed the hop arm and nub, reassembled everything back. Just went to test fire before going to work and: Hop isn't lifting anything, when I turn it on it just jams. Any ideas?
  10. Skara
    Now THAT is a nice gun. 5" handguard and 7" barrel?
  11. Skara

    Binary triggers are excellent meme dispensers xD

    Can't wait to test it on Sunday 

  12. Skara
    Hop up upgrades got delivered and installed on the barrel/chamber. Will test tomorrow morning before leaving for the office
  13. Skara
    Me crap has arrived. Rubber, nub and arm have already been installed and will be tested tomorrow. ETU upgrade kit will be installed tonight and tested next Sunday.
  14. Skara
    Saw it, but it put me off as it doesn't have an airbrake Will buy his trigger if I don't get yours tho
  15. Skara
    Softairgames, in San Marino (a tiny shit enclave in Italy) for €12 or 13. The arm is made by ES custom works, an Italian guy who makes Striker upgrades, there are 2 versions: One that accepts any nub (the one I got) and one with an integrated concave nub for the same price. Ask Asomodai as he ordered a few RIFs from said shop too. Link https://www.softairgames.net/en/hop-up-chambers/14501-flat-hop-up-arm-ares-striker-amoeba-tuning-kit-es-custom-works-escw-6.html

    De bridged my barrel to accept the ML 50° decepticon rubber I'll be getting tomorrow 3d printed hop arm for the stock chamber and omega nub coming as well, will report when I properly test the whole thing
  17. Skara
    Just ordered some upgrades. Perun ETU upgrade kit for my arp; ES custom works (Italian dude) Ares Striker hop arm; ML 50° Decepticon rubber; ML omega nub. Should be here tomorrow Now I just need a new tappet plate and to file down the bridge on my Striker barrel
  18. Skara

    Had a nice game, but the arp died :(

    tappet plate committed suicide, and I believe the piston rack followed the example..

    Star is the old name, they are the same company.
  20. Skara
    Good one 😂
  21. Skara

    Shall I turn my arp into something like this?

     

    (Longer barrel, longer stock for a better length of pull)

      Each to their own!! 

      Personally I think it’s on par with turning an MP5 into a DMR, but if your toy and money at the end of the day :)

      Speaking of DMR'd mp5s, someone actually did it on this forum.

    4. Skara

      Skara

      Ok.

       

      Here's a part list:

      9" M-Lok Ares handguard €33 (40% off at a local shop).

      12cm barrel extension (not sure about the actual length) €12.

      M4 buffer tube €10.

      Zci or Madbull black python v2 240mm €25.

       

      That's the externals.

       

      Internally I'm only fixing the air seal, swapping the hop chamber with a retro arms I have in a drawer and swapping the crap ETU mosfet with a Perun ETU upgrades kit. Maybe a new piston if the teeth are worn.

       

      The front end should be a copy of my honey badger, if not a bit shorter (can't remember if my HB has a 9 or 10 inch handguard), which is still workable in tight spaces.

       

      Would it work?

    3 days into the new job.

    Someone broke into the office last night and stole.....

     

     

     

    A plant.

     

    A fucking plant.

     

    Nothing else is missing, just a plant.

      4th day.

      Someone stole our trash bin.

       

      This place is turning out to be worse than Mogadishu xD

    Lmao, that rule is stupid. I personally try to avoid blapping people in the head, but we have to remember that we have zero control over our bbs once they leave the barrel, especially at range. It sucks, but so do thigh shots, finger shots and those cheeky bbs that go straight into the only area your chest rig isn't covering and hurt like mofos. Dude is just a crybaby, he should ask himself why he plays if he doesn't want to get shot. KM posting the video supported by Facebook and Instagram posts only reminds us why we hate him (I don't hate him, he brought some nice knowledge to the sniper community, better than Novritsch for sure) And for the millionth time, OMG 🐆 videos only ruin the sport.

    Festivities like Halloween.

     

    Those days in which people who have disappeared for months and avoided any kind of contact from you suddenly resurrect from the depths of oblivion they jumped in head first, only to drag your tired ass from a 12h nonstop work day into a town that's dead 360 days a year, surrounded by crowds of teenagers looking to get drunk and have sex with someone they won't even remember if it's a male or female, followed by people with no less than 50 years desperately trying to achieve the same.

     

    I fucking love festivities.

     

    Also these sons of bitches are fucking late as always and it's pouring like hell.

     

    Thank God I'm moving back to my parents tomorrow because I've finally found a decent paying job.

     

    So I can buy a house.

    On top of a mountain.

    And not having to deal with all this shit ever again.

     

     

     

     

     

    Or maybe I just need to see a psychologist.

    Anyone with experience on the plastic cobra buckle?

    1. Lozart

      Lozart

      I have a Helikon belt with one on and it's absolutely fine. It is more chunky than the metal ones out of necessity but it's still good.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Cheers.

      OPS makes a belt with said plastic buckle for a tenner less than the metal d-ring one.

       

      Imma go for the plastic buckle then :)

       

      edit: of course it's out of stock -.-
