  1. Ignoring the boot drama in GenHelp.  Good day at the MAW, shottie ran well and the ZCI barrel I put in the M16 is for the trash.  Put a maple leaf in it and the difference is night and day

  2. Whats the opinions on VFC GBBr's?  eyeing the M16a1/XM177e2 at the moment.  its a brand i have not had any dealings with so far

      I'd love an MWS for it.  but paying £800 for the a1 receiver, £120 for the stock and £300 for the m16 front end aaaand the £400 base gun a bit steep.  If TM did an M16 gbb then i wouldnt hesitate to get it

  3. the annoyance of finding out that nuprol vn short midcap mags dont fit or feed into a G&P M16a1

    1. kasaran

      kasaran

      well, compared to the G&P vn mags, the plastic top was double the thickness on the Nuprols.  a file down later as @Rogerborg said and its a tight fit, but they go in with a love tap and feed now.

  4. Anyone regularly use FBS Ball Grenades?  i brought 3 from jdairsoft, and on two of them the fuse blew when i pulled the ring and didnt dentonate beyond.  only 1 out of 3 worked... bit of an unreasonable failure rate

    1. kasaran

      kasaran

      True, but as a consumer im not going to continue purchasing them when I have had a failure rate of 66.66%.  £11 wasted...

       

      I'm hoping others who have used them more may corroborate my experiance or make out that I have just been unlucky so far...

  6. Nice to see royal mail working well.  Two orders were due today.  The parcel from AK2M4 arrived fine.  The tracked 24hr package from bullseye was due today.  But the last update was 'arrived at your local depot' at 9am this morning.... all I wanted to fit my new barrels tonight so i can test my pews while home alone

      whats the verdict on PPS barrels? and maple leaf? not touched the latter since buying a crazy jet on a dmr years ago (long since sold on that pew)

      Mine have been fine so far, though only fitted two so far. What were the complaints?  If it's diameter discrepancy, I won't be able to check that

  12. ZCI barrel and maple hop fitted into the cyma ak fine with some minor gains.  267-273fps went up to 293-304fps.  Would have liked more, curious as to the increased bracket of fps too. 

     

    Wonder what it means for my cylinder volume, would a shorter or longer barrel of the same narrowed diameter have provided better gains?  its gone from a 6.03 or 6.08x450 (sources vary depending on patrol base or taiwangun) to a 6.02x450.

     

    If cyma made the cylinder volume a perfect match, I guess I should try a slightly longer barrel...

      Worked out something, Ignore patrol bases information.  its a 500mm stock barrel, so mine is 50mm shorter.... no wonder i didnt get the jump i expected... guess i'll put the 450 in my l85

       

  13. review of the Specna Arms easy change spring... its a lie.  It doesnt count when you need to take the gear box out of the receiver... or try to, realising you need to by the worlds smallest allen key to remove a grub screw from the mag release

      SA-H04, the 416 version with the funky stock, so in that regard, its self inflicted.  The anoyance was getting so far before realising the mag release was held in by the worlds smallest grub screw causing me the scavenge neighbours allen key sets

      managed it, now im going to be paranoid about movement in the motor grip. im sure i reseated it correctly though 😅

       

      Motor height adjustment is also threadlocked in.... is that from specna arms or JDAirsoft?

  15. If you get to a point when you think your collection is complete, do you find yourself planning on tinkering and upgrading?

     

    on that note, AK hop ups.... is the nub the same as normal M4 style ones or do i need to look for different things?

    1. kasaran

      kasaran

      Good to know, as I have a few AK's that may get a new hop rubber and barrel set.

       

      I chono'd all my non-TM pews and figured that, as my M16 got a major fps jump from just a barrel change, why not try that on other low powered pews...

       

      I made a spreadsheet of power ranges with 0.2s and stock barrel information.  I had time on my hands...

  17. So ZCI hop up and new barrel upped the fps of my m16 to 356 on 0.2, 312 on 0.25 and 296 on 0.28....   How can i drop it down by 10fps?  only thing i can think of is sawing off 1cm of barrel?

    1. kasaran

      nooo, i slipped it into the m16 out of curiousity as the m4 is current waiting for a new body.  all of these readings are from the g&p m16

      no no, The stock g&p 509mm innerbarrel has the same fps on 0.2 as the 340mm zci inner barrel i have for an m4.  the 356fps is from the 509mm zci inner barrel i was wanting to swap the stock one for

      yup, the gearbox is all stock.  Crazy what a bit of tightboring can do to the fps

       

      with hop tinkering it can go below the fps requirement, but i think i will bring the shorter innerbarrel as a spare to site.  just incase it still fires hot with the hop set properly

      weird, i have a identical inner barrel set up with the 340mm zci barrel and hop.  it fires 320fps on 0.2... basically the same as the stock 509mm inner barrel

      The rules say not 1fps over 350 on 0.2, so we are really looking at just the smallest of power reductions

      sadly no, its an old style gearbox from what i can see.  its not the opening im scared of, its the putting back together.  i might just put the old barrel in again but have the new hop for marginal gains. sucks though.  that is until i can find suitable supervision for surgery

      my past experience of opening a gearbox did not go well.... its a stock g&p m16a1.  the amount of fps gained from just a hop up and barrel change really threw me.  (some of said parts were bought from you... feel responsible 😛)
