[Hello From Portsmouth]

Thanks to all and sorry for the delay in replying but I need to turn on the notifications as I am not getting any.

I finally bought one for £55 on Amazon used it once and I am quite happy. Bought it without reading your answers because I didn’t got any notifications. 
Agree with Rogerborg and Edcase about being too much magnification as my G&G is not that great but at least I see the guys from quite far and know where to expect them from, specially when we are defending. 
I will look into some protection after reading your replies and thanks for the tips. 
thanks all

[Gg Tr4 18 Semi Auto Issue]

Sounds on face value like normal semi-lockup - although I would expect it to be a likely encountered issue if you are running an 11.1v LiPo

 

That, and you mention that it's firing fully auto even on semi. It implies a cutoff lever/switch issue.

 

If you fire semi at a steady pace, say 2-3 times a second, does it lock up then?

 

I had one of these guns waaaay back, and it shot OK in semi even with a 7.4v LiPo.

 

 

 

The battery was given by the gent. Like I said my first day in the shop I knew nothing and was just told this is the battery, this is an extra mag etc. So do you reckon if I change to 7.4v ?

on an all mechanical system, lock ups in semi are unfortunately frequent.

What happens is the gears sometimes stop in a position where the COL (cut off lever) is half engaged so that the trigger grabs the trolley but when it gets near the switch the half engaged COL lifts it and sends it back to its resting position.

 

There is no real solution to fix this without resorting to a programmable mosfet. Even then Active Brake doesn't help, you either need precocking (set amount of overspin every time) or get rid of the mechanical cut off via a mosfet with cycle control.

That proggramable moffset doesn’t sound expensive(around £20?) you reckon this should be the first thing to do?

[Gg Tr4 18 Semi Auto Issue]

Hello all,

 

Before Covid back in 19, I played 2 games at combat south with a rental, loved it and spent about £400(including battery, charger and extra mag) on this great heavy realistic G&G TR4-18 the following day. 

Can’t remember if it had issues from the first game but on second for sure, but then covid hit hard and time went on.
Very often, when on semi auto, sometimes it just stops and trigger won’t work and I need to put it on full auto otherwise it won’t work. Fire a few bb’s, I then change to safe, semi and works for a few more minutes and gets stuck again. Most of the times on semi it fires like full auto…Also 4 places I been so far they all say semi auto only.
Went back to the shop the other day to the nice gent and was willing to pay the repair(as is been a while and assume is not under warranty anymore) and when he tried to see what is the issue, it bloody worked perfectly well so I kind of looked like an idiot and he said something about pressing the trigger properly and not just to touch it slowly as it can feed more bb’s than just one. 

Is quite annoying to be honest as I start firing and it gets stuck all of a sudden and then need to play with the switch until it works again while my teammates need me to cover etc.

Anyone had this issue and know what seems to be? I am using 11.1 V 1450mah Nuprol with 3 bars as recommended by the gent when bought it. Any thoughts? 
please be gentle as I am not very knowledgable about things like: moffset, gearbox, stock etc, 😂 sorry still at the noob stage

[Hello From Portsmouth]

Hello everyone, I am Sebastian, and I am quite new to the airsoft, but I really enjoyed every last bit of it, including after lunch when belly is full and many players just go home. Got myself some stuff already a decent rifle, pistol, some gear, waiting for my medium rifle size bag to arrive and actually I want to take advantage and ask for some tips, I am looking to buy an ACOG scope 4x32 which I have seen is very nice and found it for about £60 on Amazon, is for a G&G TR4-18, any advice? I am booked for next week at Ambush Activities and this will be the third site I will be trying after South Combat closed and Badlands have nothing until end of June. Anyone here going next Sunday to Ambush Activities?

Thanks
