Added some Velcro OneWrap to strap ends to keep them tidy and elastic with a 500d cordura cover to the chest rig waist belt to allow some breathing room…definitely not because I like pies 🥧

I would look at using some electrical wire of a suitable size to make a hard stop in the hop wheel so at least you can dig it out and replace if needed 🙂Silicone covered wire of a suitable diameter should press in nicely and hold. Before getting to that stage I would try putting a drop of water base paint on the exposed part of the hop dial and cycling the gun while it is still wet. Then stop and take out the bolt and see if there is any transfer. It has to be something either pressing on the wheel or vibrating it round and I am not sure that such a small, light part could be moved by such low frequency vibrations as the bolt cycling. Let us know how you get on!

Guns You Think Are Good, but You Hate Them Anyway.
SSPKali replied to Adolf Hamster's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Rifles with pistol caliber mags just look like those guys in the gym who always skip leg day 😂 I would add H&K MP7 - both the real and TM versions are great but they are so un-ergonomic to hold…and that is before people start adding a red dot….and a PEQ….and a torch….then badly Krylon the whole abortion -
Top tip from the weekend playing CQB at Gloucester prison - take a pistol sized speedloader full of BBs out with you and you have effectively doubled the number of mags you have for only a few grams extra! Easy to top up the mags on the walk to the respawn TBH one in the gun and two spare on the chest rig would have been plenty. It is amazing how far 35rds can go when you make each one count. I keep hearing about extra maintenance that GBBRs take. I timed my post game clean up (ignoring cleaning the barrel as AEGs need that too) and it was about 7mins. Much less faff than storage charging LiPos then recharging before the game!

Zero mods for the Magpul front end...drops straight on! Guess the Cyma must be 1:1 size on that at least! Front sight mod below - 1mm x 6mm tritium vial from a fishing shop online. Simply clean the front post with alcohol wipe then very carefully super glue the vial on 😁
-
Cyma CM041 HighSpeed finally finished (are they really ever finished?!) Short stroked 3teeth, new air nozzle, ML rubber and nub. Gate MERF mosfet in the stock along with a HUGE 7.4v nunchuck battery...and space left over!) Genuine MAGPUL fore end with TM grip and Olight Valkyrie torch. Vortex Crossfire red dot and a tritium vial on the front sight post for dark CQB / back up sights. Obligatory Spitfire tracer unit with Airtac blastwarden outer cover and Ferro Concepts single point slingster (as H&K hate left handed people!)

[Update] Iron Filing Bbs Confirmed (Not Steel Cored)
SSPKali replied to Rogerborg's topic in Latest News
This is a job for TheSlowMoGuys... <laughs as the entire forum now spends their day watching the cool videos on their Youtube channel > -
Just tested mine on ASG Ultrair and 0.32g BBs and the stock TM bolt and nozzle kit. Shed has been warm today so all at about 23-25deg. Running a bit hot at 295fps with stock TM parts (should be a limit of 276fps!) DP lightweight bolt and nozzle / valve combo was doing similar FPS. Swapped out to AG v2 nozzle (still the TM bolt) and got it shooting a nice consistent 262fps ish even with a fresh warm mag and gas. Plenty of option to dial up or down if needed. Zeroed in the new Vortex Crossfire2 red dot with Unity clone mount as the old one is now living on the MP5 AEG (Blasphemy!) Although I had forgotten how much fun a GBBR was...probably run it on the 20th at UCAP VENDETTA.

Just when you think you have made something idiot-proof nature invents a better idiot. 15 years working with the general public I can confirm that they are, by and large, cretins! -

Pure drop-ship operation and they do not care about airsofters; which isn't actually a ding on them imho. The issue is they're not clear about who they are when you go on the site, you're just expected to know, which people of course don't. But you'll not get 99% of the stuff they offer any other way, if you don't like long silent waits, don't go to them. Not a conventional business.
-
"Silent fill o-rings" are the ones you pop in to stop the air venting as you fill the mag. TM mags are meant to vent air as the liquid gas fills up, this allows them to hold more gas and work more efficiently. With gas mags you should always fill for 1 second then stop, remove the nozzle, wait 4-5 seconds then fill for 1s again. Keep doing this until the mag is venting Propane from the fill valve (not just air) If it is second hand I would spend some time taking the valves out (fill and knocker), giving it all a good clean and checking the o-rings for wear / deformation. Re-assemble with quality thick Silicone oil and try again.

Handily I can't post on that group as they have refused to let me join. He doesn't say *what* is jamming? The bolt? The valve/NPAS? Silver RATech will jam in a TM nozzle and needs sanding to move smoothly. A quick and cheap option for him to try is to glue a 0.1mm gear box shim to the back of the TM valve. That will close the gap the gas flows through a tad and will drop the FPS. A bit trial and error but worth a shot!
-
I would have thought that the valves for longer barrels would let through LESS gas to avoid massive joule creep? I could be wrong and it wouldn't be the first time! Maybe we need to club together to buy the low, mid and high and test them out on our set ups and pass them round to get a ground truth for them?
-
I can confirm that the Hao one DOESN'T need filing to fit It is also worth every penny, how they make something so well. at that price is amazing.
-
I found the stop gave lower FPS (260fps?) on the "high" setting than the stock TM one. Mid and Low were noticeably less (220fps and 150fps IIRC?) This was with 0.30g BBs and a 255mm barrel I took 0.1mm off the prongs on the front and it raised the FPS quite a bit (+30 to +50fps depending on setting) so only a small change in position makes a HUGE difference in the output of the gun.
-
Hey, it was the adjustable valve STOP, not the adjustable valve. The stop is the part on the end nozzle spring that has the thin screw go through it and hold it in place. There are 3 holes drilled in it at different points round the circumference and they hold the stop at different depths. The little pin tool is there to align it before putting the screw in.

Fully Upgraded ? Nothing to See Move Along Now .
SSPKali replied to Druid799's topic in General Discussion
"Total beast" - will have you swearing at it in the first game "Fully upgraded" - ...and I had these bits left over 🤪 "L119A2" - picture is of H&K 416.... "Video of it working available" - see what you could have won... (example here: -
Might do, the bolt might be moving too fast for the catch to stop it, backing the buffer out 1 turn might be enough to do it. TBH you have tried everything else!
-
Probably because of a light strike on the gas valve due to the pressure in the mag. Once the pressure drops a little the valve knocker can open the valve fully = higher FPS. +1 for Geoffs No issues with 0.32g in CQB, it is still the same energy as a 0.20g moving a lot faster 🤷♂️

Cheapest Place to Get Green and Black Gas in Bulk?
SSPKali replied to Lollingsgrad's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Might be worth speaking to your local airsoft store and seeing if next time they are putting an order in they can get a box for you and if they can do a bulk deal (as it will be in-and-out and not sitting on the shelf for weeks or months!) -
I had a packet of 0.32g that I meant to test. I ran some different BBs through my MWS last night to test the grouping and zero my sight. I shot Vorsk 0.30g, Longbow tracer 0.30g, Blaster 0.32g, Valkyrie 0.32g and Guarder 0.36g at 10m from a clamped rifle. Guarder were the most consistent (15mm square box) next best was the Vorsk 0.30g (20mm square box) but the Valkyrie were the worst with a letterbox spread of 35x25mm. Guess they don't play nice with my MWS. If I get bored I might try in my AEGs (M4 or MP5) to see if they react differently. YMMV

+/- 2fps on a GBBR? I call BS 😁 I am not sure all vertical deviation is due to fps fluctuations, I imagine that hop up and ammo will have a bigger impact on this. I tested mine at 10m last night and even with the fps changes I put 5 Guarder 0.36g BBs all in a 15mm square box. Other brands and weights (two 0.30g and one 0.32g) were up to a 25mm x 35mm box (sideways spread) I would get some samples of BBs (both different brands and weights) and see which plays best with your set up. If you want to DM me I am happy to post you a baggie of the different ones I have to save a small fortune on BBs 😁
-
What spread of FPS are you getting now? If it is much more than +/-10 (so 20fps in total) maybe look at changing something. Best to test in 20degC and pause between shots to avoid mag cool down impacting the test (and don't over fill the mag with gas!) Everything TM with the DP valve gave me the best results and was +/-5fps vs +/-8fps for stock TM. Hardly worth worrying about!
-
That adaptor just looks like a HUGE version of the little fold-down one you get on speedloaders. Nuprol looks just like the TM one? So why didn't you buy a Nuprol M4 instead of the MWS? LOL 🤣 I have been using the TM one on new and second hand mags for 2+ years with zero issues.
