My go to for barrels are the Maple leaf crazy jets, used them in several GBBR's and most of my pistols. Also use M/L rubber along with their Omega nub .

I think from memory it was a TNT hop unit, probably a couple of years since we fitted it . Have to say it made a definite difference to performance. Mags wise , I tend to take 5 mags out for a game with my GBBR's and a speed loader for a quick top up in quiet moments. I ususally get 2and a bit BB fills to a gas fill so I dont bother taking extra gas with me.

I always keep some WE valves in my spares stash. Usually just add a couple to an order if I need anything from KY airsoft

On the RAtech front, I've got an RA tech trigger box in one of my L119's , only fitted it because I had it handy and wanted to try it. The original was still going strong and is now in my spares draw. However one that i fitted to a mate's was bloody awefull. I ended up using the RA tech trigger parts in the stock WE trigger box Interestingly I've not had a single part failure across any of my WE GBBRs and the L119's in particular get alot of use. They are my usual guns at a game day, i rarely run aeg's now, even in winter I still usually run GBBR's . Mate's L119 needed part of the trigger mech replacing due to someone trying to force it safe while not cocked, so user error rather than failure in normal use. If something does break, I'll replace with another stock part The same same mate has the Scar H, it's been very reliable, but we did swap out the hop unit for an aftermarket one to improve accuracy,

I'm not sure they always come back working TBH. I do my own teching and will work on mates guns for them and I've been handed a couple that had aparantly been to a pro and were awfull .

Yes the L85 should lock back on empty. Benning to look like the mag catch Top of the tape is where my magwell comes to , looks about the same as your 'lifted' mark. If the top tape is with thye mag sat on the catch I'd say your mag catch is buggered.

That's a significamt difference in height. The pictures with the mag in from above, is that with the mag 'lifted' or sat on the catch ? Nozzle prong certainly looks the same as mine. If you have the mag in the low position (sat on the catch) does the gun fire ok if an empty mag is set to dry fire ? If the valve knocker ries over the output valve rather than hits it that might point to a mag location issue which would suggest the mag catch.

Couple of pics of mine with a loaded mag in, that's in the resting position sat on the mag catch.

Unless the mag is sitting very low once in position which could be the catch, it still feels like a nozzle issue to me .

Just following on from my last post, my mate reported a significant improvement in range and accuracy after I had given it a go through. He certainly nailed me with it a couple of times ! That is still on stock barrel and hop rubber running Geoffs .30's, so I'm inclined to think any gains from a M/L barrel and or rubber are going to be marginal.

Just looked at mine, when i first put a loaded mag in the bolt release bar does rotate up, however when I let the mag drop into it's 'resting' position , IE sitting on the mag catch, the release bar returns to normal resting position. Obviously with an empty mag the bar remains raised even when mag sat on catch. Are the mags working ok in the M16 ?

If it does it with all the mags , and still does it with upward pressure on the mags, I'd be looking at the prong on the loading nozzle to see if its damaged.

Same, I've used them several times with no issues.

I would assume so.

That's a very good point, at 11.1 V when it's under load it could well be dropping low enough to trigger the LVC. Gun looks to be one of these https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=8343dead8f63cfd8JmltdHM9MTcxMzA1MjgwMCZpZ3VpZD0zNTU5ZTUyYy04MDJiLTZlMzUtMjk3YS1mNzQ5ODFlMDZmNDUmaW5zaWQ9NTIxNQ&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=3559e52c-802b-6e35-297a-f74981e06f45&psq=g%26g+sbr8&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucGF0cm9sYmFzZS5jby51ay9nLWFuZC1nLWFybWFtZW50LWVtZy1zZWVraW5zLXByZWNpc2lvbi1zYnI4LXdpdGgtOS1yYWls&ntb=1 Dud battery or bad charger if it's a Lipo look likely.
