    I dunno, a 1j limit never stopped me trying to squeeze every last drip of performance from me pews.

    i kind of view it as standard just because it's a drop-in replacement for a standard (no fancy nubs required like the ml stuff). but at this point we're haggling on terminology. they're pretty decent, certainly i'd prefer them over the prommy for the up to .32 ish range although if your trying to lift heavier it'll struggle. basically i put them in guns that don't like ml stuff. yeah, it's a case of folk recommending things they think they can trust. but often there can be a lot of parroting going on. personally i try to only suggest things i've used myself and found to be good, if i'm suggesting something based on reputation alone i try to mention it. aoe is the oddball though, it does have its place and there are valid reasons to check it but often folks set way more store in it than is really necessary and you get folk over-correcting or applying corrections to guns that don't need it because "you always have to correct the aoe"

    if you don't classify the pdi w-hop as standard then yeah i can see that angle. like i said it's not bad, it's just not as good as it's made out to be.

    You missed the bit where you add a stronger spring. Also am i the only one who doesnt think the prommy purple is that good? I mean its not bad sure but some folk seem to think its the only hop rubber worth buying when frankly maple leaf isnt much more cash but is better.

    ^ just only use it as a technical reference not a stylistic one

    If you dont have the inclination to do it yourself i'd say your better off getting a base gun. Whilst you can build an m4 from parts its no guarantee its gonna be the best, or even good, and most folk will just see it as another ar based gun. I have done it as an evolutionary process and the end result even with things like literally one of a kind handmade parts was still just an m4. If you want to be different then the easiest way is to just buy something that isnt an m4 (or an ak), plenty of gats out there that you seldom see. For example i've never seen anyone fielding an mg42 that wasnt the one i owned. Of course that brings its own problems, particularly when you're committing to proprietary parts which can limit how far you can push performance without a lot of work. The m4 platform is popular for good reason after all.

    Yep, a meaningless phrase as even if you replaced every part with an aftermarket alternative its still no guarantee it'll be any good..... Plus most of them you look in the ad and apparently "fully upgraded" is an ebay "tightbore" barrel and a new handguard.....

    Fingers crossed. Its not unfixable; cylinder, nozzle, some random o rings and a rewire at least, but more a question of if its worth the time/effort/money to you. I've seen some pretty shoddy things done (and done shoddy things myself) but that is definately up there on a par with the ol' hole drilled in the cylinder as an fps downgrade.... I might suggest for the benefit of future buyers when the outcome is settled to leave a link to this thread in the feedback so folks can make an informed decision on what they might be buying.

    Goddamn thats some sketchy teching. I mean jesus does the guy not have any pride in his work? I feel for you man i really do. This is why i really endorse folks to learn it themselves because then things like this are less of a risk to deal with when you can fix it yourself properly. By the sounds of what your site tech is saying he's talking the right language (identifying lack of spring on hop unit for example) so maybe he can get it sorted?

    I always do an all in price because 8 cant be fucked doing the mathematics to figure out what to charge exactly to cover postage and fees and stuff. If your selling secondhand airsoft gear you're gonna be tanking a horrendous loss anyway and after you've lost 40% of retail (more if the current retail is less than what you paid) then is it really worth the hassle for a few quid?

    it is a well known law of the universe that the longer the coffee shop order the bigger the douchebag. for example: "cuppa" versus "i'll have a mocha frappuchino with lactose free cream a shot of pistachio topped with fairtrade cocoa powder and does that come in a cruelty free recyclable cup?"

    it looks like the floor sheet of an interior decorator. or what druid said

    If there is then it's not stated which parts are valuable enough to ask that pricetag.
  15. Adolf Hamster
    When it comes to ak's the general methodology is "if it doesnt fit, i'll make it fit"
  16. Adolf Hamster
    could be a local thing, maybe poland (or the area of poland tg is at) has covid worse and they're having to operate reduced staff?
  17. Adolf Hamster
    it might take some filing but you should be able to get them to fit. the lower will be the tricky one, the upper bolts to the lower and should sit mostly free of the gas tube.
  18. Adolf Hamster
    nothing wrong with trying to do things differently. imo the svd in general is an under-appreciated platform in airsoft.

    after several years, finally had to replace a part on the odin

      Yeah you're probably right, it is quite a 'load bearing' part, especially at the point at which the clutch essentially disengages when the magazine is full. Having said that, in this design you probably want these replaceable weak points to be able to break, so that you can easily and functionally replace them when need be.

      Been thinking about purchasing a 3d printer actually, not really looked into it in much detail or know where to start and at what kinda price point.

      tbf that is what the slipper clutch is for, reckon i had mine just set too tight.

       

      tbh my experience with the home 3d printers is especially the pla stuff isn't the greatest, but then i'm looking at it compared to the proper industrial grade stuff.

      Right, so my brother works at a place which used to be the UKs biggest rapid prototyping / industrial scale 3d printing labs...  technically not anymore as they have been taken over by Siemens, so I guess their German now 😅.
      They can print with powders of pretty much any material you want, both metals and polymers. Big massive rapid prototypers half the size of rooms. So yeah anything I suggest to him, he throws some elitist shade at :lol:.

    It wouldnt be the worst assumption to hope the cyma svd and svu use the same nozzle length. You can mod them yourself although you really want to be using a proper lathe to do it properly, i've done it with the polarstar jack nozzle bit theres no reason you couldnt do an f2 nozzle (the f2 being the platform i'd reccommend for a dmr build) Maybe wolverine does something similar, just cant say for certain as my experience is all polarstar stuff but my intuition thinks its a similar story.
  21. Adolf Hamster
    Nozzle length is the big problem methinks. Not sure what the box style is on the cyma, last svd aeg i worked on was i think a king arms and was 100% weird internally. Most manufacturers will offer some range of nozzles, but this may be limited. Best option is to figure out what the closest equivalent is and going from there. I'm not too familiar with the wolverine stuff but i know polarstar will make you a custom nozzle for the f2 if you need it, add the universal trigger board wired into the stock contacts and should be able to make something of it.

    To play devil's advocate to your devils advocate (does that make it a double or anti devil?) The ad has been up for a fair while, it doesnt take 15 hours to take a couple of snaps on a mobile and upload them. I'm not saying the gun he's selling is actually in bad condition or anything, i'm saying thats the reasonable and safe assumption people are going to quickly draw from that ad not having proper pics. Which for a £550 price tag is gonna be more risk than most are gonna accept.
  23. Adolf Hamster
    See the moment i see that, the first thought that springs to mind is "the one he's selling must be in shit condition" Thats actually worse than no photos because he's demonstrated the capability of taking them.

    ahh ups, that firearms declaration for an odin m12 rebuild kit.....

  25. Adolf Hamster
    i see @L3wisD is on top of that scam. begs the question where (or possibly why) did this guy get 3 nearly identical evo's filled with a very similar list of shiny parts? i feel like placing bets on them shooting worse than a stock evo.....
