  1. I always assume for the most part that a given gun has potentially been ruined internally, regardless of what the seller says about its condition (because for a start they may simply not be aware of any issues, even brand new guns can have major faults out of the box) Cynical i know, but unless i've actually held and shot the thing it feels better to stay on the safe side. That said, given i'm almost guaranteed to completely replace the internals anyway its not too much of an issue. If i were to sell though i'd be as open and honest about it as i can, because i do tend to have a bit more faith in sellers who openly admit when there are faults in what they're flogging.
  2. Wasnt that me pointing out it was cheaper in the link he posted in his own ad? Also bookmarked skara's link lol......
  3. Just got me combat union hop unit and all i can say is it says volumes about russian fps limits....

      well, thanks to the relaxation managed to give this thing a few rounds and can confirm whilst it's not as pretty as the MAXX hop unit it is just as good at ensuring bb's go in the correct direction.

      That's good to hear. Nice to have a high quality AK hop unit available. On the subject of MAXX see that they planned at one stage or another to release a G36 unit, no mention of AKs though. 

       

      Might have to give the combat union a go in the future.

      Yeah, means i have a second gun that can lob .48's should the need arise.

       

      The only real downside is it's a bastard to adjust, you either gotta have tiny fingers or open the top cover, so not as amenable to "on the fly" adjustment as a standard hop

  4. I suppose at least macks can serve a purpose here, you have a bunch of folk agreeing that your asking price isn't insane.
  5. given the cost of daytonagun stuff i'm not necessarily calling out a dreamer here per-se but i feel like these 2 ads next to each other is some really unfortunate timing.....
  6. fair enough, still a very fine peice. i'm sure it's probably hopelessly impractical for skirmishing but i can imagine the satisfaction getting a kill would be.
  7. Technically my box o' bits m4 is "unfielded" That is to say the gun as a whole has never been fielded but only one component in the whole gun has truly never fired a shot in anger.
  8. what that tells me is "they done screwed up both guns" tbh my leaning would be more vsr, but that's pretty much entirely down to preferring the form factor. not that i do much sniping anyway (at least not with a bolty)
  9. Hmm, 2.5 mags of .2's from the makarov.

     

    Definately a lot better than it used to be.

  10. and yet it's cheaper in the link he is posting?
  11. good choice, give yourself a nice reference point for where the gun is out of the box so you can tell when you do change bits if there's any improvement. it's a case of diminishing returns, the more demanding you are of performance in a certain field it gets exponentially more difficult/expensive whereas getting "good enough" isn't that expensive or difficult in most cases. and definately agree on yt, the problem with that platform is you need to have enough base knowledge to judge wether or not the video you're watching is useful, or just full of bs. consistency and range aren't the problem on a dsg, getting it to shoot for more than half a day without spontaneous dissassembly is depends on the gun, for an m4 you may have a point but i'd rather have a gun that was good on the outside as it's much easier to change out a gearbox wholesale for example than to change the entire reciever. tell me about it, my m4's quest for accuracy has left it with only the outer barrel remaining as an original component
  12. Ahh shit, shoulda known this was gonna happen, if there's one topic divides us more than what am best gnu it's what am best brew. *Awaits the brew comment to spark a beer war*
  13. For that price it had better come with a bottle, a good one, and it had better be filled with whiskey, good whiskey.
  14. you say that like you first response wasn't a fundamental truth of airsoft anyways, that's the sensible stuff covered, carry on lads..... i dunno, their 6-pots are smooth engines. modify maybe but not change.....
  15. you weren't that specific. for example you want "good" rof, well if your idea of "good" is "anything better than stock" then a basic mosfet and 11.1v battery will be all you need, if you want a 40rps hose then the requirements are going to be a bit more extreme. you want 330 or 350fps, which is it? do you play more at sites with a lower limit that you'd rather go lower? do you want to be able to change with ease? you want "good range", which can mean anything from just putting some geoffs .3's in a clean stock gun or dropping .48's into a gun with literally every internal part changed this is the problem with providing recommendations as to whether for example putting a titan, which is an expensive and complex bit of kit that needs a lot of other factors in the gun to be up to scratch first, is the right thing to do or not. this is why in lieu of anything specific the answer is to "leave it alone", if you have the impression the gun you're getting is going to be "good" (in your definition) out of the box then maybe you'll be sufficiently happy with the performance that you don't need to do anything bar keep it clean and feed it targets. likewise you might use it and find "hmm, i like the rof, and my bb's are going far enough, but the spread is terrible" or "hmm, my bb's are going where i want them to, but the trigger response is too slow" which can be as much down to personal preference and game style as anything else.
  16. see my mg42 does that very well, but once you get out of the safe zone almost anything else i have is better at the whole slinging plastic at people thing
  17. what do you actually want your gun to do? because that's going to answer a lot of the questions as to what you should/shouldn't be doing with the internals. you mention you want to change all the internals but why do you want to do that? what do you think a titan/gearset/flashy bits is going to do to the gun that will make it better at doing what you want it to? there are a number of specific objectives you could be aiming for here, and depending on how high a standard you want to perform in a particular field is going to dictate what you need to do to acheive that and what you may have to sacrifice to acheive it.
  18. Im gonna go for the pressure switch being lower then he moved it up to its current position.
  19. In my experience only if the hit comes from their front, if you hit them in the back they cry blue on blue and keep going.
  20. Still waiting for the second half of season 4 to get released on prime..... I feel like that reference just went over my head lol
  21. if a gun is in a box and nobody buys it, does it really exist?
