their reputation was certainly good.

 

i mean maybe i've got a friday afternooner on the gearbox but the rest of the elements are still not ideal.

 

maybe nuprol's ownership and getting them to make guns for them has had an impact.

I've heard enough about lemons from both sides to be fair, only ever purchased/used LCTs but had a go with E&Ls and they've both been great. I think the best bet is to lean to whatevers cheapest and that tends to be E&L now that Nuprol have price hiked the LCTs, fire support is no longer my go to for 'premium' AK shopping like it has been 😐

 

Can't you just unscrew the hop and push it forward? I'm pretty sure I can do that with my 74u to get at the gearbox without removing the outer barrel, etc.

i've done a bit of a review which includes photos of the hop unit issue. at least once i get the photos to load.

Are there prizes? 🤣

Oui Oui Mein Herr

You crazy kids and your fancy badges.

 

Have a look at the plastic soldier company war spray range. They have a US tank green and it's lovely. I have an M4 sprayed up with it if you want to see it.

 

No. F2000 always looks best black. Just like a Scar H always looks best tan.

 

I think the only colour change one could get away with in an F2000 is white if you’re playing in the snow like last years Christmas games.

i appreciate the advice, i get what you're saying that the tappet plate could be hitting the cylinder and stretching it.

 

there's no tappet "window" on this box per say, it's a really strange design (a 2 peice split with the handguard being it's own unit with all the gears and the top being a big rectangular box with the cylinder/tappet)

 

the brass clip is more like a washer- it's mounting hole is dead centre and there's about 2.5-3mm extra draw, and it's coupled with the longest nozzle i've seen on an AEG (think double m4 length)

 

like i say, gun is bone stock, i wouldn't even have had it apart if it hadn't eaten the tappet plate (after about 15k rounds), so atm i'm suspecting either a weak tappet plate or too strong a return spring being the main culprits.

 

only other possibility is given the handguard unit is a seperate peice maybe it slid out of position when being carried and made the difference.

The window I refer to is how that 7mm or 8mm sits and allows feed/sealing

 

if you had a nozzle too short you will have lovely feeding but $hit seals

 

if you had a nozzle that was too long you get great seals but $hit feeding

 

so all this crap is about ensuring the nozzle is correct length

(which it probably is)

and then ensuring the "window" or where the tappet/nozzle moves

allows the correct "window" position of nozzle retracting/returning

 

if it is operating say more than 0.5mm out of whack/position

you will get either feed/seal issues

 

retracting tappet too far trying to compensate or increase stuff

runs the risk of smashing crap out of tappet if not checked

or at the very least wearing out the fin very very quickly

 

That window wasthe where there 7 or 8mm movement is sitting bang on

not a rear inspection window like many v2's have

ensuring it all operates within the correct position/window/tolerance  etc...

yeah, it's a very long nozzle due to the hop design, and i suspect they have the long stroke on the tappet to keep feeding issues down, not sure why it's such a strong spring as it's not like it needs to deal with midcaps.

 

she shoots and feeds incredibly well, so it's safe to assume they're right with the nozzle/stroke combination. although i still think the spring is way too strong which might be why it died.

 

we'll see how this new plate works out, and if it eats that one i'll swap the spring out for a weaker one and check it's not bottoming out

well it is if like me you can't leave well enough alone, the moment a gun looks like it'll work for longer than a few weeks i'm like "needz moar rof" or "needz moar accuracy"

Well I spent around £100 getting an ex Thundermaul JG M4 up n running only to find it was way too hot. I have a spring to downgrade it but I'm dreading splitting another JG gearbox, because when the Sig packed in after half a day from my attempt to degunk the gear box of that JG earwax they use and is now in pieces with a jammed trigger. 

 

Good job I bought the 417 🤣

oh god *flashbacks of working on the jg aksu*

 

some designs are better than others, the mg and the f2000 are absolute dreams to work on, the mg splits into 2 bits and is easy removed, and the f2000 is all modular so you just strip to get the bits you need.

 

as far as i'm concerned quick release mainsprings and trigger retention screws should be mandatory.

the ak isn't as unweildy as you'd think as long as you're not filling the whole front end with aluminium rails.....

I know that they aren't unweildy  My 74u is actually pretty balanced despite being made of granite or something.

It's just that adding 800 grams right on the tip would make it really unbalanced.

it's not so bad, had a pretty heavy can on my e&l 74u.

 

this is going to be a situational thing though, for night games etc.

 

although granted it does make a stronger argument for getting a 105 over a 74m

I honour your service.

 

Hmm, maybe the badges should be medals, the better to represent our heroism.

you're only saying that cos you've made it to explorer already 😛

although i've just made it to apprentice, i'm catching up

the one where you sharpen the cutoff lever? done that and it still doesn't like it.

 

might be possible to do with microswitches but that's too much effort lol

Have you tried this? 

 

 

the f2000 runs a different cutoff lever to the p90, it's basically the same trigger unit but on the back left side of the gearbox.

 

to clarify it does run on semi but jams up if you try to double tap, not so much a problem outdoors as you just give em a burst.

 

ironically the ak has the opposite problem, if only i could average out my issues lol

See that blue dude? He got nothin on me son, nothin...

see that yellow dude? that's me right now.....

Fried like an egg! 🤣

Ummm, i might do prisce, theyre for the polarstar

Well, that sir, is when you officially have a problem. 

but muh accuracy?

 

tbf this is an experiment, i know the .4's will be good but i've mostly been running the laser dot .3's and in the quest for a gun that shoots in a straight line the only variable left that i haven't fully explored is ammo, hence the big pile of geoff's to see how those work out.

I like to bait masters.

 

@Rogerborg i've heard tis a popular hobby

 

After years teching rifs in the mountains of Shaolin, the rank of master is achieved.  

They should pay airsofters to disperse gathering of 3 or more. Police then hand out fines to the people with the welts. 

i'm down with that.....

If someone has a spare room I am willing to illegally enter the UK and take part in the cleansing.

@Asomodai it's 12:1 and all

 

as for the style, i'm still not sure, i kind of want to find a barrel clamp to run the 2dp as i'd rather run the normal forend than the current rail+afg combo that's on there atm.

 

fortunately i'm hopefully redeeming myself with the optics- got a 1p67 on order should keep both camps happy......

Partly why I haven't booked a game until mid-May!

guess i'll keep going through the motions and just go, suppose if i'm expecting it to be bad then hopefully it'll soften the blow.

 

at least it's good enough weather now to get the dragonuv running

My game at greenops last Saturday was a real joy. No moaning or griping all day.

The sun was out and I think everyone was just pleased to be out and playing.👍

Regards 

What happened?

the usual stuff that puts you off airsoft combined with a big dose of "urgh not this again"

Oh, I see.

@proffrink they eat the souls of rentals.

 

@EvilMonkee no, because i'll be buying it

Not even for a fellow Ulsterman?  Shame...

 

Obviously if they have more than 1...

 

well, maybe if there's spares.....

yep, running into a hail of fire and not stopping even when being unloaded on from many directions.

i bet he/she is sore today 

quite possible lol

Contrary to common belief they aren't out to get you.

Hopefully you don't live where there are really scary ones 😉

it was a pair of them jumped me while i was in bed last night, one regular sized and one wannabe tarantula.

 

i know they ain't deadly here but millions of years of evolution is a hard thing to fight.....

I have heard that fuckin spiders is extremely difficult for a beginner!

🤔😉

Regards 

Remind me never to lend you a gun...

lol, it died of being thrashed to within an inch of its life by the need to remind people they were hit.

well, that and the ridiculous high speed it's running

Damnit, some notcurnal investigation reveals i've lost the bolt release lever/pin.

 

However the motor pinion did a right number on the rest of the internals.

this one came from davescustom airsoft, it wouldn't even start on the lct adapter and barely went half a turn on the jg/cyma ones.

 

imma try me local brick and mortar see if i can find a random adapter, if not looks like i'll have to run the pbs4 this weekend (me left arm is gonna hate me  )

Just call it a work out 😄

yeah but a normal workout doesn't excercise only one side of yer body lol

escarmouche, tis in ni, i'll maybe write a review depending on how it goes. it's a shame because it's got so much potential if they put a bit of effort into properly marshalling the place, they've got a good thing going but the last 4 sessions it's been the same story of people not taking hits descending into anarchy, and a session shouldn't be something to dread.

 

still, hope springs eternal, i'm not the only one who feels this way and we're going to let them know it's one last chance to see some pro-active game control.

Seems the same as X-site, same old same old. Unfortunate. Hope all goes well

yeah, i mean the guy that runs it is nice enough, and he's putting the effort into tweaking the game design and trying out new things, as well as physically improving the site.

 

but sadly that doesn't mean much if it's infested with cheaters and they aren't doing anything about it.

nope, they just didn't include it to begin with

Well, can't worry about losing something you don't have in the first place I guess 😄

maybe that's why their mag springs are so terrible- can't lose their nice mags if you dont wanna use em

 

 

Knocker valve for their blowback makarov.

 

Was trying to figure out why mine kept leaking and realised it had somehow caved in at the front.

 

Figured if imma try and sell it better to have it as working (well, "worked last time i tried to fire it")

 

Only place ive found even has it listed is begadi and its out of stock

would a WE makarov part fit? granted I know feck all about makarovs but might be something to consider if possible

Nah, totally different mechs.

 

The kwc is basically a 4.5mm co2 airgun conversion which normally comes stupid hot out of the box (mine was downgraded by the forum member i bought it off). Its not even the same as other kwc valves (particularly the 1911 which is the only kwc valve you can find easily)

 

Only bought it as a winter gun to stand in for the WE.

I'm going for a lighter setup, so ive swapped the awesome but heavy vltor rail for an moe hanguard so i bought a gas block rail so i can still attatch the bipod and i've also decided to get a proper flip to side mount rather than the qd mount i have for the magnifier.

 

Also an sa80 sling so i dont have to constantly switch the one off the f2000

I love my MOE Handguard. Fits my battery perfectly and is so much lighter than the other rails I have. Looks great too imo. 

 

 

I'm rear wired, because its bad enough dissassembling a king arms m4 without front wiring, but its made the gun so much more pointable.

 

Meanwhile the f2000 still isnt feeding, the sig is shooting harder than most rifles, the 1911 is still leaking gas and the mg has eaten its own tappet plate.

 

Airsoft life eh?
