    Hi , 

     

    I have leak gas to one magazine. O-ring is the MGG2-79 part. 

     

    Somebody know measure to this o-ring ?

     

    Have you tried putting a blob of silicon on the valve?

    Think it was just the guy having a bad day or it could be a regular thing?

     

    No idea to be fair, I've not been there before. They do have a home team which is often a point of contention so for all I know the player being defended could have been a home team player - I really don't know. However I do know regardless he shouldn't be getting physical with the customers - he should be defusing not agitating/assaulting. I'll not return there.

     

    Personally I had no issue but I didn't enjoy the layout or games, they didn't flow.

     

    Anyway back to SRS chat. :D

    Had a similar outing on Sunday too. Wind was whipping about and changing directions. I did try to make some changes on the fly but as the wind was sketchy it was difficult to get a baseline. Still for a first outing it was a good test. I stripped the rifle the following day as I think the bucking wasn't quite perfect and it seems a lot better now (accuracy etc). Seemed alright at home and played up on the day - typical!

     

    It was also a site I'd not played at before (meh...) which didn't add to the day, they don't give anytime for setting up which is fine but most places I go allow players to do their own thing a little if needed rather than having Marhsals start shooting at you when you've clearly ducked out the game for a reason - even after one had asked why I was not playing.

     

    In fact one Marhsal assaulted a player on my team so I'll not be returning there anytime soon. Two players were having a light arguement over hit calling and the Marshal grabbed one player and went to pin him to a tree shouting insults in his face! Never seen that before. Not impressed...

     

    I'll find out for sure next game how my rebuild holdsup. One thing I would say is it was amazingly quiet and a pleasure to shoot ignoring issues of the day.

    Wow! Took it apart again the other evening and wiped out all the grease out of the cylinder guide area and off the outside of the cylinder. Relubed the cylinder with some Muc-Off Dry Lube and my god what an improvement! So much smoother bolt pull.

     

    I tried the WD40 version PTFE, amazing difference isn't it. I've done the same with my VSR too. I also used the Muc-off disc brake cleaner on the VSR trigger set too and dry lubed that. I'll do the same with the SRS trigger once it's had a bit of use. Sooo much better than wet stuff.

    Okey dokey, pig in a pokey...

     

    SO I've installed the following on my SRS A1 Covert 16"=

     

    W.A.S.P adjustable weight piston with full airbrake and heavy steel outer tube (heaviest of 3 supplied).

    3 preload spring guide washers that come with the above piston.

    Rapax APS2 Style Spring (2+ Joule)

    Maple Leaf "The Last" hop unit.

    Maple Leaf 410mm Crazy Jet barrel.

    Maple Leaf "Maximum Range" 50 deg bucking.

     

    Chrono on 0.43 = 340fps (2fps deviation going lower not higher)

     

    Hopping perfectly in my limited range of 30m (so not a true test of accuracy etc but bang on the money where I was targeting)

     

    Obviously none of it has bedded in properly yet but very pleased with the results.

    This spring is very easy to cock even with the preload.

     

    In the end I bought and mounted a VISIONKING 1.25-5x26mm - very happy with the choice, eye relief, clarity, etc...

    Interestingly (although limited to the range I can shoot in the garden) I didn't have to dial it in! Crazy... it was just exactly where I dialed the hop by coincidence. I did the hop before I looked through the scope. No doubt on site it may need a click or two I'm sure.

     

    All in all I can't wait to try the rif out this weekend coming. I'll report back my results.

     

    Currently 3D printing something to meld the suppressor to the foregrip. I'll get a photo once mounted. Had an issue with the suppressor I bought, it doesn't want to screw on the whole way (Grrrrrrrrr). I may buy a 14mm ccw tap and rework the threads on it at a later date. It screws on enough to work but is fugly hence the model I'm running right now to fix it - it should work well enough for now. 

     

    EDIT: Oh and the Match Knob is a very nice ergo upgrade.

    I've always found the ML CJ barrels good; in both pistols and my VSR. I wonder if some of the bashing ML CJ get is more down to poor setup/maintenance and cheap/wrong weight ammo. (Have they dialed everything in properly...?)

     

    And finally the one thing they probably don't consider is: they're a crap shot. lol :lol:

     

    (not meant at anyone on here, I mean people's comments generally!)

     

    Edit: Also they may fit a ML CJ and think it's poor but it could be the bucking, nub, hop or all of it.

    Just looking at barrels at the moment. Can't make my mind up between a 6.03 PDI or a 6.05 PDI.

     

    6.05 as it would be "predictable", no FPS increase expected and it's the stock sizing so the gun is designed around that.

    6.03 as all the popular aftermarkets seem to be a touch tighter than stock, slight increase in FPS expected but negative would be over voluming.

     

    Faceless does a 6.04 which is near enough identical to PDI and shares the same R-Hop patches but I'm unsure as there is no reviews on them other than that website.

     

    That IMHO is the answer.

    Mags come with a dog dick anyway dude but always worth having a couple spare I guess just in case. Where did you order from? My normal "go to" places to order from have been out of stock of replacement cocking handle knobs and suppressors for a while?

     

    Cool, I wasn't sure if the mags came with them installed as the one that came with the rif needed it to be installed. Yes, spares are a good thing. 👍

     

    The Suppressor, Mags, dicks and knob (lol... what a phallic list) came from the banner at the top; Fire Support. I didn't get the DTSS as the covert comes with a standard CCW thread so I simply went for one I can print baffles for that's a good size (and it's a lot cheaper!).

     

    Spring, barrel and hopup came from skirmshop.co.uk

    For anyone considering buying a Faceless spring guide to silence any "twang". I bought some heat shrink and applied to my current guide, made it too wide for the spring to fit over (what a waste that was).

    Second attempt I did a wrap of electrical tape with about a 1/3 overlap and cut the ends straight, has worked a charm, no spring twang at all.

     

    I haven't done that for the SRS yet but for the VSR I did the heat shrink route, worked very well. 👍 Good tip.

    I’ve got the ML hop unit. I have a maple leaf barrel.
    It didn’t fit. And I was somewhat fucked off.
    There is a c clip, which fits into the grooves in the barrel and the hop chamber.

    without the grooves (which my barrel doesn’t have), it doesn’t fit.
    So nope, not marketing, sadly.
    The hop unit looks to be well made (in the second version), but I couldn’t tell you how well it works yet lol.

     

     

    Cool, thank you for clarifying 👍

    Curious & need a little help please; I'm looking for a 420mm barrel with a VSR cut on it.

     

    I found a "TNT Studio S+ AEG 420mm Barrel" which looks to be a hybrid with the VSR cut on it. Can anyone confirm this? I've googled it and looked at photos and I get mixed results but no confirmation.

     

    I was also looking at the Maple Leaf VSR crazy jet barrel 410mm (doesn't appear to be a 420mm version) as the "Maple Leaf "The Last" SRS Hop Unit" says it requires it but I'm thinking that's just marketing to get you to buy their barrel?

     

    I'd like to use the "The Last" SRS Hop Unit" as I want to use VSR buckings instead.

    Get in...Covert 16".

     

    Actually really like it (expensive mistake if I didn't... :lol:)

     

    Temp 4x ACOG scope, hop-up's junk and has to go. Installed a W.A.S.P piston, Thumb stop on foregrip and a 2 point qd sling.

     

    I did get a more powerful spring (110 newton) and it brings it upto 491fps with a steel sleeve on the cylinder and full air brake but it's really tough to cock so I'll look at getting another spring with a lighter pull but still keeping the fps up. Swapped the mag feeder for the dogs dick, comes with one in the box so it's just lazy they don't preinstall it. Air seals are good; did the finger over barrel test and the piston held it's ground till release. I'll ad a suppressor and print some custom baffles shortly.

     

    Then probably get the rattle cans going... I'm a happy chappy overall. Thanks for the help.

    I run a Diamondback 3.5-10 x50 on mine.

    Bloody lovely scope, but might feel a little big for the covert?

     

    Very nice indeed, yes a little big I think (and beyond my budget for now) however I thank you all the same 👍
