  1. Marui Recoil Scar L! It's my entry point into the NGRS line but I have a feeling I won't be turning back!
  2. I'm liking this new UI!

  3. I've made 6 or 7 orders from PB over the last two years. All orders arrive within great time and I've never had a problem!
  4. Seems that I'm having to stretch out my pistons O-Ring every 3 months as the FPS drops from 330 down to 250 -_-

      It's got the original O-Ring that came with the SHS Piston Head.. What brands would be good, if any?

      https://airlab.parts/collections/gearbox-parts/products/airlab-piston-head-o-ring?variant=739258679 It's more about the material than the brand. Just a good, correctly sized Viton one should be fine. Worth also thinking about why it's stretching - is your lube degrading the rubber for example?

      It's shrinking every 3 months so I end up having to stretch it out - I put the o-ring around the outside of an old cylinder and heat it up with a lighter. I'll grab another o-ring and see if that sorts it

  5. My VFC has been chronoing at 150fps for a few weeks now and finally got around to open it up again (sadly wasn't able to before the NAE). Stretched the piston head's O-Ring, re-lubed the cylinder and voila back to 330fps!

  6. You don't want to see the mess it's in now! I clean it every so often, then it stays clean only until the next game day
  7. Of course, at chrono today Gun1 was firing at only 150fps. Gun2's motor then borked before lunch. Gun3 is an AM-016 with DSG set up for pre-cocking. Of course, battery was too powerful when fully charged which made it not shoot, then double shoot on semi. FINALLY, now I'm home, Gun1 is at 300fps again, Gun2's motor has been cleaned and lubed, and Gun3 is FIRING PERFECTLY. What is this madness?

      Performance Jitters. All guns get it from time to time; usually at the most inconvenient times.

      Guns are female - mind of their own that we will never fully understand

      Also some are very high maintenance and some are really cheap old ones that have been used & abused a fair bit - ok enough sexism I guess - yes dear I'm just about to do the ironing petal....

  8. Well, no new toys for me for a while. Just been stiffed by a cyclist on the road, he caused £500 worth of damages (parts alone) to my motorcycle, plus won't be able to work for a while due to injuries in knee. Yay. /s

      $hit soz sir, but main thing is you are still here - sucks still cyclist no insurance or mot tax but the main thing you are still here sir

  9. X3200 chrono (new for £33!) as it seems buying a few beers every time I borrow my mate's is adding up to more than a chrono itself!
  10. Mancraft SDiK arrived today, looking forward to using it!
  11. I do indeed load a magazine whilst the slide is forward, the parts should arrive on Friday so I'll fix it and try loading it your way from now on. Cheers for the advice.
  12. I've owned my F226 for two years or so now, this is the second time the loading nozzle has broken. Is this normal for the same part to fail twice within two years? I know it's only £8 or so to replace it's just a slight annoyance. Picture of said loading nozzle. (The little plastic tab to the lower left of the image is the bit that has broken off both times) Cheers
  13. Nothing special, but just got a Ssangyong Musso for going to airsoft sites (among other things) to give the Moggy a break.
  14. SS'd by 3 teeth, delayer chip, new tappet plate, M120 spring. It's firing very well now, getting 23 RPS with 7.4 and no double feeding. Cheers for the help.
  15. Cheers, the box is apart and I've already done the SSing earlier today. I've used blue Loctite on the piston head thread (which is indeed metal). Sorbo has been ordered, M120 spring on the way. Will have a play around getting the FPS consistent, ensuring the hop up is sitting flush etc. Cheers for the help so far, should post back here by the end of next week when the stuff has arrived and I've had a little play.
  16. Yamaha DT125X Aprilia RS125 Chesterfield Rep. Morris Minor 1000 (2dr. Saloon in Traf. Blue) The car is a WIP, doing bits on it here and there.
  17. Air seal is great, will have to check the ProWin after work tomorrow. It's using a new Promy Purple bucking. I've also tried it with a nearly new (100 shots) guarder bucking, but somehow that has grown and won't fit into any hop up chamber... Just found the invoice for the barrel and it's an Angry Gun 6.03 300mm stainless steel TBB. Using .25g Nuprol, .25g Blaster, .25g ASG Cursed and .25g ZeroOne BBs. All of which still give a double feeding issue. I'm going to be SSing the piston and sector gear tomorrow, along with ordering an M120 (only spring I have spare are M140 and M90 ).
  18. Can confirm. Used them quite a bit since the date of this post.
  19. It is indeed double feeding. It was reading about 120fps on the chrono when double feeding. I'll get some sorbo pads and sort out the AOE, the tappet is moving freely and it is the correct air nozzle. What could be causing this FPS variation, though? The Piston, Piston Head, Cylinder Head and Air Nozzle are all SHS, the cylinder is VFC but I have a spare SHS cylinder in the packet if that could help?
  20. Ok, so with .25 BBs it's shooting with a mean FPS of 289.8 (min was 275 and max was 315). WIth a 7.4v it fired at 23.4rps and with an 11.1v it fired at 30.7rps. When testing, it still double-fed on the 7.4v, but not as often as with the 11.1v.
  21. I don't think it's over-spinning due to the active break of the ASCU (I've also put the ASCU into test mode to ensure the cut-off switch is working correctly). I'll pick up a friend's Chrono tonight and get the FPS and RPS on it. Using the cheap RPS detector (audacity) I got the figure of 27 RPS with an 11.1 - that was, however, with a cheapo DBoys motor.
  22. Hi, I opened up my VFC box after two years of use, and sadly the spur gear's shaft snapped along with all of the bushings grinding nearly all the way through the gearbox shells - I decided it was about time to get a new gearbox in there and had a few extra (new) parts lying around. So... I've put together a nice little gearbox with: - King Arms 7mm shell w/ bearings - ASCU v2 Gen3+ - SHS full steel rack piston (polymer body) - SHS Piston Head - SHS cylinder head - SHS tappet plate - SHS air nozzle - SHS 13:1 high speed gears - VFC bearing spring guide - Standard VFC spring (M100/M110?) I put it together in the M4 with: - SHS High Torque motor - 6.02 TBB - ProWin Hop Up - Prometheus Purple Bucking When using an 8.4v battery, the gun fires fine (slow than I would like, but fine). However, when using a fully charged 9.6, and a fully charged 11.1 the gun double feeds every couple of shots on semi, and a hell of a lot on full auto. Any ideas? So far I've tried it with the stock VFC barrel/chamber/bucking along with a G&G Unit/bucking with an King Arms barrel but they both still gave the same results as the ProWin/Promy setup. I have also tried the gearbox in a King Arms upper and lower, with the same results... Could it be something like needing a sector delayer chip? New tappet plate? Longer air nozzle? Cheers for the help. Albert
  23. I got a pretty shagged BAR-10 G-Spec that was slam firing. I got a bunch of stuff and it works like a charm! - PDI One-Piece Hop-Up v2 - PDI W-Hold Bucking - 6.01 AEG Barrel (303mm) - AirsoftPro EZ Trigger - AirsoftPro 90deg. Piston - AirsoftPro Steel Spring Guide - M150 Spring - Custom Barrel Spacers This, along with a CNC machined bolt handle and a CNC machined rear section of the receiver (left handed) have made this an absolutely amazing gun to use. Sadly, I only manage to use it once or twice a year!
