[Arp556 or arp9?]

Hi all, nit sure if posting in correct place but I'll ask anyway. I have a hpa  G&G arp556 that I want to add an alternative co plete upper reciever to for different scenarios. Us the arp9 receiver compatible with the arp556 lower as I've found a nicely priced arp9 that I could use if it will fit.

 

Any help greatly appreciated, Thanks

[THE TM MWS thread]

Hi all just purchased my first gbbr, MWS cqbr m4. Super excited 🙂 Bought it used and completely stock, I have read lots of different things with regards to upgrades etc etc etc...I plan on running it stock for now as I play mainly cqb. I do have a couple of question though for you knowledgeable people.

 

1. Is there anything I need to buy for running it primarily on green gas, spares upgrades etc

 

2. The UK is cold, any upgrades I can put in it to make it more gas efficient In the colder months.

 

3. my purchase is coming with two "iron mags" that are apparently leaking with green gas...any advice here would be awesome. Not really sure what they are 

 

Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,

The Balystik regulator is a good all rounder and can operate as low as 55 psi so no problems keeping within 150!

 

brilliant thanks for the reply, Do I need an slp tank to go with that or can I just use my regular paintball tank.

 

Thanks,

 

Max

[Ye/Escort Mp5 GBB]

Hi all, I've been going through my loft/attic and I've come across my old YE/Escort MP5 (some of you on here may now of this gun), which I thought I didnt have anymore. Basically I dont have what I now know to be an SLP regulator (had to have a low pressure gauge fitted to a stabilizer etc etc and cant find it). The gun operated at no more than 150PSI and I want to get it going again. I've already got standard hpa tanks  for my tippman m4 but only at 3500psi so need to step it down to safe pressure. Any help with regulator and slp lines and connectors would be super appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Max

The nozzle is great, but you need to fettle it, and you’ll need to adjust it to set up your fps.

 

Its a great piece of kit (admission, I helped test the prototypes), but you will need a bit of skill to set it up

 

Separate the receivers, take out the recoil buffer and bolt, and clean them and the inner guide rails. Very light lubrication when you reassemble it

 

 

thanks for the reply, appreciated. So I'm aiming to use the vector for cqb primarily, how much fettling and adjustment  is needed to get it to shoot around a Joule. I currently use 0.3g for my other guns so will likely just use the  same ammo, unless you recommended anything else.  Thanks for the tips on cleaning, I'll get straight to that before I start using it. My impression is that you certaintly know your stuff with these vectors, are you UK based (really hoping so lol) Thanks again

No matter what FPS you’ll have, use green autobot bucking if you’re going to have the fixed hop up, also pair it with a crazy jet inner barrel. Make sure you have spare nozzle, hammer spring and few nozzle springs.

thanks for that info, really appreciate. I'm gonna get the airsoft engenuity carbon fibre loading nozzle assembly today, any ideas where to get spare springs etc. I also dont think the gun has been used for a while, any tips on what to clean and lubricate with this gun as I'm reluctant to use it properly until I know it's nice any clean. Any help greatly appreciated 😀

Definetly get hold a spare sear set if you can find  any, i also second the airsoft enginuity hop set over the maple leaf one , ive had both and seem to have more luck with the fixed hop. as RDB said dont lose the torch plug or thats it gone forever!!!!!! Spare hammers and springs come up time to time from kwa themselves in the US. Everything else should last pretty well. TTake it apart learn how everything works its a very finnicky trigger set if it isnt all  absolutley perfect youll have issues, but they arent too complicated to fix when they do go down  

 

Also would reccoment getting a Gen 2 Style trigger from Rhesus which converts it to a normal style trigger which feels nicer to shoot. (also adds the benifit of being able to tune the trigger pull.)

 

Other than that look after it and enjoy it  

thanks for that, really appreciate it. I've just ordered the fixed hop unit from airsoft enginuity, wasnt sure which degree maple to go for...any suggestions. I'll hunt for a trigger sear set now, I've managed to download a manual for it online, any recommendations on cleaning, I'm aware that GBBR need more love and attention, my tippman hpa m4 would probably run on dirt, that thing is an indestructible beast lol. also, what gas would you recommend I use, the guy I bought it from had some 3.0 red, i normally use 2.0 green. Tha is again for your friendly advice, most appreciated.  Max 😀😀😀 I'm a vector converter now lol

@Mixwell  Unfortunately, you won’t find one anywhere. Airsoft Engenuity make a very good fixed hop kit that allows you to use standard GBB barrels.
 

Collect as many spares as you can, ask as many questions as you can, don’t lose the torch plug.

 

Take it apart and learn how it works, otherwise you won’t be able to fix it when it breaks (it’s a gas gun, they all break)

thanks for the heads up..I think the torch plug is still in there, what happens if not??. I paid £150 with one mag and it's barely been used. Hoping I havnt picked up a lemon lol  am i going to find it difficult to get spares for it. what parts would you recommend getting for spares. really appreciate your help guys, thankyou
