    That sounds like there is no hop being applied to the rubber/BB. Try using the allen key to turn the grub screw on the top rail to see if the hop will engage. This should fix it but if not come back and we can trouble shoot it together

    Na man it can't be that, think about it you bolt still goes in to the hop unit even if it takes some doing. You not bending metal like that every time. I had a similar problem for a while, put the whole thing back together without the new sear and see if the works, if it does, take a file and drag it across the sides of the sear which is what helped with mine. Don't mill out you bolt they all have a gap like that

    I had one and it worked perfectly for around 5 months of throws. They are great when they work but you do have to throw them quite hard to get them to go off

    I have an Ares M45s as well and it took me a while to find good batteries . I currently use 1000mAh . 9.9v LiFe batteries. It takes a bit of fiddling but you can get all the cables to lie flat and collapse the stock all the way. They also last for ages and are perfect for this. But you would have to get a decent charger otherwise you will end up destroying them within a few charges. These are the exact ones https://www.vapextech.co.uk/99v-1000mah-lifepo4-battery-vapextech-crane-20c-airsoft-1leg/ Hope this helps Solly

    Hummm after having a look around I don't think you can buy the parts outright. But I think that if you where to contact Bespoke Airsoft they might be able to help you with that. They are producing a line of kneecappers and Mad Max guns and they might still have some spare parts. It's always worth a try. Hope this helps

    Another package arrived today and for the first time in a while it wasn't Airsoft related. I decided to take up Axe throwing during this lock down and I have to say there is nothing more satisfying than lobbing an axe around your garden.

      I think people would still call the police if I was throwing axes in my garden.

      That axe would go through my fence and kill the noisy neighbour kids....

       

       

       

      Where do I get one? 😛

    I had a similar problem to you where running my vector mags on my belt rig was impossible, so I went out and I bought one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-Army-MTP-Osprey-Set-Hip-Belt-Yoke-Ensemble-Utility-UGL-SA80-Webbing-232/153833801338?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=453870996230&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 its light and easily holds heavy vector mags without any twisting thanks to the yoke system. Its just another to think about Hope this helps

    Yeah, I used the Piston for ages until I got one of the bespoke airsoft ones. Works well with a good air seal and smooth pull. The spring guide is also very nice and I am still using it but a word to the wise, if you where to get it I would put some lock tight on to the threads of the spring guide as it has an annoying habit of unscrewing and messing up the cylinder. Hope this helps

    Yeah I am also getting these emails for every notification

    Day 8 of lock down and i have to say I am (sort of) getting things done. 

    I have finally got my striker working to full capacity again and I am starting to consider sanding/sand blowing the outer barrel to create a "Silver Sable" kind of gun. Although I haven't been able to use it yet I am liking the British Army belt rig and it is a lot more comfortable than jerry rigged pile of trash that I was using before. Also who ever designed the detachable out barrel on the Ares M-45 is quite possibly insane, I needed another 3 pairs of hands just to put it all back together again!

    Sorry for all the ramblings but I have done all my jobs and now I am board🙃

      How bout work on the Kriss Vector, kited it out?

      Actually I just got the extra feed lips and base plates for the mags and they work like a charm, I am thinking of getting a red dot sight somewhere down the line but for now, I really like the iron sights

    Hissses in Negative Airsoft Back on topic, I have got myself a British Army belt rig along with some extra pouches so I will be spending my lockdown messing with that and praying for it all to go away so I can go shoot some fools
  13. Solly4568
    Started buying a few things again got myself a British army belt rig and pouches for vector/M-45 mags Feed lips and base plates for the vector Rocket valve for the vector to bring it back up to 350 FPS Some more .43s for the striker O and 25 cans of green gas because I seem incapable of buying in small quantities
  14. Solly4568
    Mate I hate to break it to you(I don't) but this thread is over 6 years old and possibly it is a problem that he has forgotten about. Just some food for thought 😆
  15. Solly4568
    I would give it a small bit of a sand just to remove the paint but apart from that you should be golden, just make sure to clean your hop rubber regularly and it should all be good
  16. Solly4568
    Don't you realise it's still under warranty 🤣 You could have a new one for £170 or another completely stock one for 20 more 🤦‍♂️
  17. Solly4568
    NOOOOOOOO STOP BEFORE ITS TO LATE you had one job man. ONE JOB 😂
  18. Solly4568
    And so it begins (again) Got my self one of these https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/castellan-airsoft-dummy-hexaco-suppressor-long Because it is against the laws of nature to not have a rectangular suppressor on a vector. The universe would implode 😆 so that along with a thread adapter should keep me happy for a while. But then again ....
  19. Solly4568
    Managed to finally get my hands on a KWA Kriss Vector from @KingZi and with some help from @rocketdogbert both absolutely stand up guys. And good god is it fun snappy and cool but goddam is it heavy 😂, I think I am going to have to start hitting the gym again just to be able to run it for a game🤣. Also, it looks sexy as hell
  20. Solly4568
    If it's still under warranty I would send it back and get them to do it properly. But if not I would give the upgraded hop unit a go with the ML bucking to see if that makes a difference Aaa yeah thanks mate 👍
  21. Solly4568
    In regard to the double feeding is he still using the standard hop up bucking? I know that I have had some serious problems with those in the past especially with the upgraded hop unit. Now on to problem at hand I may be wrong but I don't think you can put VSR barrels in with the standard hop unit but don't hold me to that. Depending on the FPS that it is putting out I would put in a Maple Leaf Deception bucking at around 60 to 70° In my own striker which is running dead 500 FPS I have a 65° bucking along with a panther concave nub and a Maple leaf dual bore barrel and that gives me accurate shots out to 100m. Hope this helps

    I have found my least favourite thing. Having a lovely new toy at home just begging to be played with and knowing that you won't be home till Saterday 😓😰😭. God dam you education🤣

  23. Solly4568
    Just one observation that I have made while using the cylinder ring is that you seem to get a lot less grease on the hop rubber because the bolt is no longer dragging along the inside of the receiver and at the rate that the strikers go through buckings, anything that extends their life is a good thing
  24. Solly4568
    PICK ONE you can either a pistol or an M4 please for the love of God don't make a Frankenstein combination of the two. Please.
  25. Solly4568
    Here you go mate sorry it took so long but those are all the measurement that I could get 😀
