A few companies seems to advertise low profile bushings. Might be worth a go? It's very frustrating to repeatedly take apart and assemble a gearbox, if the screeching is caused by wonky bearings rather than one's own shimming.

It improves it somewhat with the Titan, as others referenced, not to the same extent. With the Perun it could also make it more pleasant, although with less micro tweaking. It should be said that Perun have a newer V3 ETU due this year. If you go to their website the V3 optical is on the discontinued section, so they should have something new in the works.

The Titan is a good call. Used to have the occasional sensor grease issue, have managed to figure out an appropriate level of lube. Eliminating cut off lever/ trigger block problems is ace. Also have one in a Galil and it frees up battery space. Will be curious as to how the Aster V3 is received. Also the Jefftron V3 leviathan should be out in the next month or two. Looks interesting.

Gate Titan V3?

Nice looking kit. Reminds me of early era CIA in Afghanistan.

Stoke tomato ketchup is well worth a try.

It's a lovely gun. Have the fixed stock 7.62 version myself. About the only external misgivings I have were the incorrect rear sight and short cleaning rod. It's easy to source fix parts mind you.

A decent UZI has to eventually materialize.

That FAL is lovely. 2021 is the year I get a folding stock one.

A Lambda 6.05 barrel. Giving the brand a go. Have used PDI and Prometheus in the past. The former can be very picky with rubbers and general hop up arrangements.

Had a box of E&L mags awhile back. Good price and lovely construction, just didn't feed right. Disappointing experience.

Find the G&P the most reliable classic metal magazines for midcaps. On occasion pick up TM for the hicaps. Given up on LCT magazines.

Will be very curious to see what holstering solutions people come up with.

Some longbow BBs in 0.30g weight. Have an AK that really didn't like the Devil blasters I was putting through it.

Beefy 11.1V Lipo and bring the RPS down with a suitable Mosfet that had ROF control.

Have used them about four times this year. No complaints. Usually ship the next day after ordering. Have had orders come via the Post office and DPD couriers. Good for some of the more obscure parts or to bulk buy BBs if your usual sources are out.

Could the egg shape be the result of the force used to break the BB?

Have had a similar problem with a wooden grip. AEG sounded great until the pistol grip went on. Ended up using a rough grit sand paper to take material off the sides of the inside of the grip. Another option might be a small O-ring between the screw and the pistol grip to replicate the way it came from the factory. Just to echo the above poster, shimming the motor cage might be a good idea. In the past have glued a pair of 1mm shims to the top of the motor cage (either side of where the pinion came out). Eliminated the slack completely.

Based on experience with the quality of some of the microswitches in airsoft. If you're opening up the gearbox ( admittedly not too bad on 249) it's one candidate to replace. Particularly if plan on running higher capacity batteries.

Might be worth trying to replace the microswitch? They are fairly cheap.

Yeah wish they would still crank out their offerings. Have a Chimera in one of my Aks. Going to try some of Jefftron's kit in the future. Planning on installing one of their basic SHS based models in my Galil. Will be curious as to how their V3 Leviathan shapes up.

It was with a RPK, so quite finicky with the long barrel. That was also the precision line rather than the super precision one. Might give them another try. Thanks.

Makes sense. Any particular brands you prefer? Have tried G&G and Devil blaster fairly successfully. Had some feeding issues with Geoffs.

Reasonable point. I'm fairly new to using heavier BBs, so still figuring them out.

They seems fairly decent from what I have seen of people testing them on YouTube. Find it curious they don't seem to have a 0.30g offering at the moment.
