No it's definitely the barrel. Looks like the previous owner may have took a tumble and bent it.

Purchased as a project for £50. I've 3D printed some wood furniture for it and I'm mostly happy with how it turned out. Printed in walnut 30% wood PLA, 1 coat of walnut wood dye and 1 coat of teak wood varnish. Internal upgrades: - Perun V2 - Maple Leaf 70 degree rubber - Tomtac 6.02 barrel. (Brilliant barrels for the cost. Apparently they might be rebranded ZCI?) - ZCI closed cylinder - XT cylidner and piston head - M130 spring FPS is a solid 430fps with semi locked via the Perun. The plastic receiver sucks but I'm on the hunt for a G&G magnesium reciever to replace it with.

Purchased a JG G3 as a project for £50. I've upgraded it and it's brilliant (rock solid gearbox!). Only issue is the barrel is bent to the left. The inner barrel is fine (I've actually replaced it) but the outer barrel is bent to the left. Still getting consistent 430fps (DMR) and groupings but to the left, so I can't adjust the scope far enough. I was thinking of shimming the scope but ideally I'd like to straighten the barrel itself. Is this a common problem? Any ideas? Obviously it's all plastic so flexes easily. Looking for the G&G metal reciever but very expensive.

So we normally play at NSC but decided to try Dirty Dog. It was a total mess. This was probably around a year ago. - There seemed to be far too many players especially for the container village. - Large groups of young kids, some blasting the most cringe inducing music from belt mounted bluetooth speakers for all to hear. - The games seemed to have very little rhyme or reason as to what was going on. - The respawn points weren't clear and neither were the objectives. - The main play area was so overgrown and sprawling it was hard for anyone to understand or play the objective. - Too few marshalls for such a large area with broken lines of site. It basically felt like we were at a kids Birthday party. The container village is great but have each container rammed full of people made it a chore. We're thinking of giving it another go. Is it always this messy?

So I had a magazine adapter jam inside the magwell of my CYMA MP5k. Removed it but now the body pin is very loose which it wasn't before. The little brass cyclinder that goes through the mag release catch falls out when it never did before. I can put it all back together OK and the mag release works, however the pin is very loose. Has something fallen out that I've missed? Can anyone take a quick look at their MP5K please? Thanks!

I have a Jefftron Micro mosfet I want to fit to my JG MAC10. Could anyone point me to where the trigger contact wires should be soldered to? Also I'm OK to get rid of the original fuse as the mosfet will replace it's function correct? Thanks!

Little update. I swapped to a Rocket M105 spring and it's now shooting at 315fps with a 0.25 and no hop up. Rate of fire is 34RPS according to my chrono!

Hey thanks for your detailed reply! I ended up putting in a new hop up rubber, M110 spring and 12tpa high speed motor. The air seal is better than I assumed as it's now over the limit at 380fps 0.2 and 350fps 0.25 with no hop up. FPS is only varying by 1-3fps per shot which I assume is pretty good! I didn't bother installing the metal air nozzle anyhow as I didn't want to open up the gearbox. Baby steps but I'm sure I will open it up sooner or later. Just need to watch a few more YouTube videos. I've ordered an M100 and M105 spring to hopefully take it down in power for a game at the weekend. Then after that I'll look at replacing the piston/bushings. I've also ordered a metal spring guide since I figured there is no harm in replacing it. Is there a replacement piston you would recommend for this gun? How many teeth? How many of them should be metal? Would I need to replace the piston head as well? Thanks again, this is my airsoft gun and first time working on one. This is a big help as there is very little discussion on the VZ.58.

Hello, I have recently acquired a well used Ares vz.58 Long rifle. While it's working OK, it does feel a little weak (no chrono atm) so I'm looking to upgrade the internals but I am totally new to this. So far based on my research I have bought the following parts: - M110 non-linear spring - CNC double o-ring air nozzle - 12tpa motor - 60 degree hop up bucking I think this should get it back up to speed but is there anything else worth considering while I'm doing this? - Inner barrel? - Gears? - Spring guide? - Cylinder and head? - Piston? Not a great deal of info on this gun! Thanks in advance.
