I'd have a look at the hop rubber too, and probably replace it , also check the O ring on the back of the piston.

I've a couple of JG MP5's including an SD . Bloody awesome for the money . Mine get used in a woodland site and have plenty of range , never let me down , never broken and soooo much lighter than all my GBBRs !

Easy to read on the go and cheap enough to not care if it comes a cropper.

I've been running mine on hpa recently , but still with the stick mags. It's a very easy and quick swap , so I can still use the green gas box mag when I dont want the line.

Awesome news on both counts ! You are going to love it , they are sooooo much fun . Be interesting to see how long a couple of 45g capsules last in a game.

It's fucking ups , they have 2 speeds , glacial and stop !

Oh god , I so need one of those !

I wonder if the bosses that the capsules screw into are themselves screwed in . They do have a slot on top. Next time I dont have a 'live' co2 capsule in I'll have a look at that . If they are , then replacements with the smaller internal bore might be an option .

I can get some pics . The block has an integral regulator though . What would be good would be insetrs that screw in to the existing threads . I do have a couple of adaptors that screw in and allow smaller capsules to fit . And the adapters I have . Something like these to use something smaller than the 88g would be good.

All my WE STANAGS fit my L85 . Not sure if the WE Pmags fit though as I dont have any to try

Actually now I check 5/8 is damn near 16mm so they might fit . Give them a go and please do let us know . Certainly 2 x 45g bulbs would give a decent capacity.

Pretty much exactly that .

I'm going to say that from the picture those capsules are not the right thread size , you need M16 x 1.5 threads. The big 88g ones are the correct threads but are too long to fit in the box without modifying it. I've used adapters and smaller cartridges but found I went through them very fast .

Mine has a maple leaf crazy jet barrel , ML rubber and from memory a ML omega nub in it . Range etc is as good as any of my other GBBRs. Pretty sure I put a RATec NPAS in it (all my other WEs have them) TBH I very rarely game it now as I absolutely hate G36 mags ! not specifically the GBBR ones , just G36 mags in general . It does get loaned out though when folk want to try a GBBR for a day . I know lots of people have issues with WE parts quality , but I have never had a failure that wasn't my own fault on any of my WE GBBRs and I've got 6 of 'em.

Given how hard my WE G36 kicks the VFC must be an animal !

put m/L crazy jet barrels in mine and my mate's . Fitted with M/L rubbers and slightly closed up C clip . Early indications are that accuracy is improved with less spread , power level went up a touch too as I used longer barrels. Also ran mine on hpa last weekend . Still using the internal mags , cant be doing with the aeg boxmag idea. Whilst I'm not a fan of hpa I will conceed it worked well, and given the cost of the big CO2 capsules I'll soon cover the £150 the bottle , reg and line cost . Added to which my local site does free refills. I see a mix of hpa and green gas mag use depending on game type. Switching between the two is a matter of a couple of minutes. Still continue to love the beast, it's just so much fun , and now there are two on site the noise in the woods is impressive !

Just buy a chrono and set the NPAS yourself, 10 minute job and the chrono will probably cost you less than a tech will charge. Plus you have a chrono for future use. The hop is best set at a site as you'll need the distance to see what the BB is doing . Again it's a 10 minute job at most.

NPAS set to low can strangle a gun , also too much or no hop , have you tried adjusting the hop to see if it alters ?

Could be , but as the BBs move up to the lips they should centralise. When it happens is there a BB sat up in the feed lips ? could be sticking slighly and not feeding properly , I've had that in pistol mags before.

Can you lower the router slightly ? Given how much lower the gas port on the nozzle is compared to the loading prong that might do it . Wont mention that I ran my WE MP5 SD on sunday ,used the drum mag with an HPA tap as well as the stick mags, and that it ran flawlessly all day . I did have to go up to .36's in it as it would over hop my usual GBB .30's with the hop on minimum.

It's pretty decent . Does suffer with cool down if you go to gung ho , used it last time I played for a game , just went empty as game over called . I have now fitted an hpa adapter in place of the fill valve as I am now running my 249 on hpa on occasion. Took it out to test this morning and that combination is good , and ideal for cqb etc. I like the stick mags normally and wouldn't hpa those , same for the L119s etc .

As suggested above, the old trades can be filled . Jim at LCs who does all my L119 engraving and machining work fills the old selecter markings first. Most recent A2 build Once painted

Does the fps go back up when an original TM mag is used ? If so , there's your issue, the aftermarket mags.

The S&T does use a V2 box with a very long nozzle and a proprietary hop unit . Mine had crazy low fps when I got it too , along with feeding issues . I did get it behaving eventually , but cant remember what bits I used . I do recall that there was bugger all compression in the piston and cylinder though , so I'd start there by doing a compression test .

Has anyone managed to get a replacement feed for the CO2 mag if their line has burst ? My setup is working fine , but a mate wants me to make him up an adapter so he can run hpa now and then but not make it a perminant thing . Let him use my modified CO2 'block' and it ran faultlesley all day on his hpa rig . Although he was going through a bottle a game ! I'm only after the 'block' that clips into the magwell , but happy enough to buy the complete thing if anyone knows if they are available.
