      will bare in mind, its all new to me, never done any gearbox work before.  the ex rental combat machine is very much a guinea pig

      Find "Negative Airsoft" on YouTube.

      Love or hate the guy, hes a very good guide on how to build a gearbox correctly.

      if your considering a mosfet id throw in a perun v2 hybrid again available fro our lovely ak2m4,also the m4 compression kit upgrade from ak2m4 is another gd call improved my m4 no end

    i had a replica M1 helmet from china stopped at the chinese boarder a while back. seemed a little odd to me tbh. was on ebay, seller was good about it, messaged me 2 days after ordering and gave full refunds

    odd thought on cylinder compression etc.  i have a secondhand CM16 shorty firing at 297fps.  i assume the interior is the same as the longer barreled version.... so would that mean i may see a jump by putting in a longer barrel?  else they would have different cylinders or fire with a lower fps than this one?  (this is ignoring the airseal)

    1. Skara

      Skara

      Depending on the cylinder, yes, a longer barrel will boost the energy output.

       

      Installing the same exact gearbox in a wider range of guns is just one way to cut corners (imagine having to tune each gearbox)

      It's possible, and plausible, and even likely, but I wouldn't want to leap to any conclusions.

       

      If you're wanting to improve the air seal and energy, I'd start with just squirting some silicone oil or spray up the nozzle, swish it around, then blow it out the nozzle before re-assembling.  You can also get some in behind the piston head via the cylinder cut out.

      The gearbox sounds alright so that is something im trying not to crack open.  im trying for a more classic M4 look, so i have ordered a 4 inch outer barrel extension which will allow for a longer inner barrel.  So if the theory is right that they use the same gearbox etc in all varients of combat machine, will give it just a little more fps without having to open the gearbox (another 20 to 30 fps would do nicely.)  The current plan is a new hop-up assembly inc rubber and buckings with a longer inner barrel.  open to recommendations on good hopup units not gone aftermarket for these before

    Are those Gate EU Warfet things worth it?  do they do much being just wired in the battery compartment?

      depends on what you want.

       

      but they do offer a lot of functionality such as burst, precocking etc.

    3. kasaran

      kasaran

      So with one not wired into the gearbox would still help trigger response?

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      that's what precocking is, when setup right.

    UKARA reaquired... watchout airsoft retailers.... or should that be look out bank account?

  7. kasaran
    Right. Had two game days with it. Unfortunately i the piston head still vents on firing. Resulting in poor efficiency, only one of the mags managing to fully empty. The other two mags seem to suffer some icing issues(?). You fire and they have a quiet temporary gas leak before sealing itself again. Secondly. My one good mag seems to fire the best. The others for some unfathomable reason seeming to not hop/come out with as much power behind it. Have had some kills with it running with my SVD yesterday. And it is satisfying to hold. Just still needs some tinkering
  8. kasaran

    good game today, SVD performed well stock and got kills with the Grach.  did bring home a tick though...

      Nasty things.  I had my top tucked into my bottoms.  Long sleeves, full trousers, army boots and gloves.  The thing somehow got in and crawled up to within 4 inches of my gentlemen bits on my inner thigh.  How it got there i cannot fathom.  Glad i got it out alive, though with normal tweezers.  Think im gonna buy some tick ones to carry on me next time

    Considering the weight of those rifs. It would need to be a beefy recoil system. Would be awesome... dunno if id want to own 3 m14's....
  11. kasaran

    So my favourite site is closing down and selling the rental gear.  Nabbed a combat machine for cheaps. Something to tinker on without me worrying too much about destroying the gat. 

     

    Plan to slowly upgrade parts to see if i can get it going well and learn teching.  Any advice on what parts to go for first. Im guessing the usual barrel and hopup assembly first.  

     

    Need to find out which CM it is first tho. Collecting sunday. It is the M4 variety, the first and only M4 i have ever owned 

    1. Tactical Pith Helmet

      Tactical Pith Helmet

      I like them a lot.  I've a tight bore barrel on mine, standard green hop rubber and a ZCI plastic rotary hop.  It has a lazy mans plug and play Burst Wizard 4 'fet.  

       

      The barrel support is weak, the controls lack much feel or deliberate clicks and they feel a bit flimsy beside a steel receivered rifle, but they are very light and the M4 ergonomics are hard to beat/fuck up. 

       

      I keep mine switched to full with the burst set to single shot and spam the trigger with manly abandon.  It's had scores of thousands of rounds through it.  Never misses a beat.

       

      I've a second that I've bought to get silly with tuning wise.

    I know they used to. For mine there was a pay online option on the email telling me of the charges

    Anyone got recommendations for a good single pouches for ak47/akm magazines? Find double stacks a little awkward

      See i have some like that. But the back of akm mags has a thin metal strip.  Something that would likely cut through rubber/plastic retention pouches. Or so id think?

    @Piman i thought those thresholds were only for the EU?
  15. kasaran
    you might as well say: 'just masturbate. You will have a whole world of trouble for the sake of having someone else do it for you. Just my opinion mind you ? Regards ~Shamal' not everyone wants to spend over the odds when its cheaper elsewhere (go capitalism). and UK shops dont stock everything in the world either. hopefully all this import crap is a covid/brexit blip, as before brexit it was reliably within a week (about half the time it took DefconAirsoft to get me the M14 i ordered not long ago). Will say though, i wouldnt recommend importing anything at the moment. as if you do, expect to be the guinea pig for the rest of us in regards to customs and delivery times

    first game for the last 14 months.  proof that expensive doesnt=good

     

    LCT G3A3 mags all feed only half a mag before being unreliable, sometimes feeding, sometimes not (on both 28s and 25s).  £300+ gun £23 mags...

     

    raged onto my backup: CYMA AK74m flawless £100

     

    first time outing for both of them.  the G3 fires like a beast stock, and hop does 0.28's well, its just the damn mags.  wonder if JG mags work?

      Much thanks for the extra detail.  Will likely have a crack one of these weekends.  

       

      As for your pegs, are they made from scratch or modded from something readily available?

      It is in deed, well spotted!

    I think i have found one possible cause of the jams. Its the hammer. The return spring isnt quite up to pulling it back everytime. Would there be an issue in filing down this corner in the hammer? Its already showing wear.
  19. kasaran
    New O-rings arrived (3 weeks early from china, it wasnt through UPS). Fitted fine, and fires much better. the old o-ring as said in the linked review is just a bit too big, it forced gas out the back of the slide to the point you could feel it on your hand when firing. now though, this effect is much lessened. I have also removed the rocket valve from the top of the mag which leaked after firing. lubed up the seals and refitted. it now holds black gas and ultrair without issue. all mags, without firing have held gas for the last couple of weeks too. The gun however still has slide issues, it rarely goes far enough back to lock on empty (though does go far enough to cycle) and every now and then it jams. the only solution i can think of is to sand down the runners ever so slightly, as that i think that is the cause. nervous to do though, never done that before and i dont want to make it worse xD. Open to suggestions to why else the slide would jam up after firing? Its swimming in lubrication at this point. i love the look and feel of the thing to give up on it just yet I have another 9 of the aftermarket O-rings, if anyone else also wanted to do this swap.
  20. kasaran

    are top valves interchangeable in gbb mags?

     

  21. kasaran
    so a totally unbiased review of the specna arms mk18 2.0 soon?
  22. kasaran
    Will bare in mind. Im not going to tinker any more until i fit the replacement o-ring. But i think it would help the slide move more freely.

    Piston is a solid piece. Had it fully appart yesterday. Well except for the trigger assembly

    A thread for those who wanted a modern Russian sidearm, but have only the option of Raptors’ first foray into GBB pistols. On receipt mine looked well and truly greased with some sort of thick lubricant which covered all the parts. I assume this is for transportation, as the slide, although covered in slime, did not rack easy at all. The stiff slide seems to be more of an issue caused by tolerances. There is next to no wobble in the slide, it is very much pinched between the runners. I found that racking it by hand for a while loosens it a little. This could be a case where it needs to bed in, but it does not take long for the silicon oil to be blasted out and have the slide jam once again. I wish I looked at the runners of the slide before firing the gnu, but it almost like there are chips of metal missing from it, but this could be from manufacturing though. As for blowing back, the cylinder doesn’t fully reset, the springs are far too weak and the fitment far too tight. This is evident by the back-blast of gas you get when firing. It does seem to move enough to cycle bb’s though (only when the slide has enough strength to get past its own friction however). A thread on arnies goes through a fix for this in some detail (https://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/218851-raptor-mp-443-pya-grach/). Overall, I think this guy had a better model than mine, but his solution on swapping the O-ring from within this part seems hopeful. His measurements of 15mmODx1.8mmCS 70D are mentioned and I have 10 of these en-route from china off eBay as linked by @Iceni. Due mid may, I will update if there is an improvement. The trigger pull is long. The reset and break point are both in the last 3mm of trigger pull. This seems an odd decision, possibly this was done to speed up development or to simplify the design? The safety is horribly stiff. It works, but with the stiffness and the trigger pull being so long, I can’t imagine I would ever use the safety, especially as you need to manually cock it. The magazines were equally slimy, two of which holding a tiny amount of gas on delivery. It has taken basically a whole Ultrair 570ml bottle of gas to refill and fire out to A) clear the gunk from inside and B) get the seals to bed in. The mist that fired out was immense, can only describe it as a teenager’s vape pen cloud. Once that settled down, they generally seemed to hold with all three of my mags managing to hold enough gas and fire over 25 times this morning, around 18 hours after filling. Though on one you could just about hear a slow leak from the refill valve, a thing that had stopped by the morning, I guess it self-righted or the pressure settled. The magazines though I think suffer BADLY from freezing. The top valve always seem to leak for a short while after firing only a couple of shots (not from the nipple part). If you fire too many and it risks venting. Nuprol 4.0 black gas just instantly vents on the first trigger pull. I have ordered a valve key thing from firesupport to see if they need a tighten or not, but this seems to be a definite weak spot in the design. The paintwork on the gnu is thin, and it doesn’t take long for scratches to show. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of. Sadly, I lack a chrono or a big garden, so I cannot report on fps or range. It does fire bb’s but with that extra strain it fires maybe 18 of them before the slide gets stuck half way. I am very tempted to take a file to the runners, but that is very much a last ditched effort to get it reliable.

    anyone know where i can find an O-ring measuring 15mmODx1.8mmCS 70D

     

    much thanks

    1. Iceni

      What did you measure it with? Reason I ask is those measurements don't line up with metric standards. It's also not imperial standard (usually 1/64th's).

      Imperial would be 1/16 x 19/32 (1.587mm x 15.081mm). But that gets factored back into metric for most sites and is sold as a 1.6mm x 15.1mm

       

      You can find rings done to 1/128th's In that case it's closer to a 9/128 x 19/32 (1.78 x 15.081mm) sold as 1.8x15.1mm. Not common at all, but you can import them. I'd measure twice to be absolutely sure that is the dimensions you need.
