    Is the Nineball rubber soft or hard? Did you ever try again with the R-Hop, or did you give up with that?

    How does the FPS of my M16 increase over the period of a year or so, without me changing anything?

      I've taken the barrel/hop out, but it's been gradually getting higher, rather than a sudden increase.

      Maybe its letting out one of those slow squeaky farts

      Maybe, but it needs to be lowered again... I've actually just thought of what might be happening, when they lowered the FPS, they did it on a game day by giving it an air leak, by putting a tiny hole in the nozzle. I have a feeling this may have become blocked with crap from the gearbox over time. Gonna take it apart and see if I can clean it out...

    So, fiddling with my L96... PDI hop chamber with R-Hop, or regular hop chamber, with Top Dead Centre mod, or regular chamber with R-Hop and Top Dead Centre mod?

    Ehh, seems the M14 I want in the colour I want has now been removed from WGC and Red Wolf. Looks like I'll be getting a different version and then buying separate parts for it to make it the same...

    £160 is about right, apart from it not fitting and falling apart, the Laylax one for the Maruzen and clones is £180. Sic, are you on about the spring guide stopper, or the piston sear? If the piston sear, then it definitely shouldn't fall out in a zero trigger, and if the spring guide stopper, then you have a couple of options; put a more powerful spring in it, or put a spring with the same power, but a longer length in it, or, as you said, put tape over the bottom, which is what I do with mine.

    Well that's brilliant. £50 for new car windscreen, then £300 for its MOT, and then £220 tax in August. Looks like I'm not going to be getting a new gun any time soon...

      How much are you getting insured for? If you dont mind letting on that is.

  8. Liam Porter
    Fiddich, what are those two triggers for? One for ARES and one for the TM?

    To buy one, or to not buy one..? http://tinyurl.com/G-PM14

    With that trigger, if it's decent, if it fits, if the site is legit, and if pistonris compatible with PDI cylinders, you could then get the PDI Raven cylinder set. The piston that comes with it is the weak part, that is only designed for 1 Joule, but the cylinder should be fine at higher values. And, this will give you a black cylinder rather than the shiny silver one. Also, I just did a quick Google, not sure how legit "Marksman Craft" is. I think it's similar to Cheeseman Industries and Hunterseeker Armory, in that they're both airsofters rather than companies (like PDI), who have had ideas and the tools/ability to set them up and build them (HSA is the RHop, and CMI does RHop installations and LRB mods I think).
  11. Liam Porter
    The ones from Airlab are blue, rather than black, and you don't get the installation aid things with it. Also, you get three patches, all slightly differently cut. They're the same length, but they're for different barrels, with wider outer diameter, or slightly wider (not longer) hop windows.
  12. Liam Porter
    I got it from Airlab, here: http://www.air-lab.co.uk/products/z-kit.html And used this to help install: http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/36-rifles-parts-reviews/5079-r-hop-airsoft-my-unforgiving-truth-first-install-testing.html Also, this thread and links may be helpful: http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/32-general-sniper-talk/6422-r-hop-database.html Also, I've just noticed in your signature, your longest BF3 headshot is better than mine. I had better get killing again.
  13. Liam Porter
    You could increase FPS by just upgrading barrel and hop unit. I have a PDI 6.05mm diameter barrel and get a massive FPS increase when using that over using my MadBull 6.03mm barrel. Also, for the hop issue, install an R-Hop. I've got one in mine, running quite nicely now, lifts .36s with the hop as far off as it can go, and lifts .40s with literally an eighth of a turn of the hop adjust screw. An R-Hop will also increase your FPS as it doesn't protrude into the barrel so won't slow down the BB. So, with a new barrel, doing all the air seals and installing an R-Hop, you'll increase FPS and consistency, and be able to lift heavier BBs easier.

    I don't have much of an idea on sears either. When I first upgraded, I got a complete metal trigger box from Airsoft World, and then when I got PDI/LayLax parts, I got a LayLax Zero trigger. You could upgrade the FPS without putting a stronger spring in. Increase the air seals and use a different hop style. Put PTFE tape around the cylinder head threads, a couple of layers around, also put PTFE tape around where the hop unit and barrel meet, I used a lot of layers here. Another idea, which I haven't tried, but is to increase airseal between the barrel and the hop rubber, tie some cotton/thread around the hop rubber (after the cuttings on the barrel) quite tightly. Also, what barrel, hop rubber and nub do you have currently?
  15. Liam Porter
    That's what I did first, ASPUK parts (cylinder etc. and hop unit) and a MadBull barrel. Then when I got the money, I upgraded everything to LayLax/PDI parts. The bolt pull on mine with the stock cylinder (shooting 440 FPS) was really easy, as was pushing it forward. With the ASPUK cylinder (500 FPS), it's the same pulling it back but harder pushing it forward, for the reasons you said. And with the LayLax cylinder (at 500 FPS and at 600 FPS), it's just as easy to pull back and just as easy as stock parts to push forward. The cylinder is Teflon coated, which may be why, but it cost about £110 for just the cylinder. If the stock will withstand 500 FPS, what about the trigger/sears you've got in it at the moment, will they withstand that too? The Laylax cylinder I have is a nice matte black, which is one of the reasons I chose it
  16. Liam Porter
    It depends on how good the air seals are in the ARES stock parts, and how strong the cylinder, cylinder head and piston are. If the air seals are good, then they can probably be further improved with PTFE tape. If the cylinder, cylinder head and piston can all withstand ~500 FPS, and the bolt pull is smooth and relatively easy, and the piston moves easily inside the cylinder. Then it's probably not worth dumping £120+ into those parts just yet. The price for them isn't too bad though, I spent about £220 on Laylax cylinder, cylinder head, piston, piston head, spring, spring guide. What FPS is it shooting at currently, and with what consistency (too much effort to check back in this thread to find out)? Also, what parts have you changed so far in the gun, if any?

    I've ordered from X-Fire before, took 9 days from ordering to having the products at my door. The payment/order process isn't too bad, you place the order on the site, then they email you back with confirmation of the order, a shipping quote and total cost. You then send them the money via PayPal, quoting your order number and paying in Yen. They then email back with confirmation and when they ship it. The price of that is 15434 Yen, which is about £105 + delivery, + VAT, + whatever else customs decides to add onto it.

    Being killed by hayfever, because apparently seeing and breathing are two things I'm not allowed to do. Anyone recommend any good tablets, all the ones I've tried before have been awful.

      Same problem here dude, the Sainsbury's ones are just terrible. Tried some last year which were quite good but I can't remember the name -_-

      Go to the doctors, I did & i now get ones from the chemist that are 10x the strength of the ones you can buy in shops, they work a treat :D

    Got a little tip, when confronted with friendly players asking what colour team you're on from 2m away, don't forget your team colour and tell them red, when you're on blue.

      I ended up getting shot in the face by my team mate, even though he recognised me by my voice and knew I was his team and had made a mistake.

      If in doubt, shoot first, ask questions later. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.

      I once had a chat with a dude at a night game because I walked square into the enemy base with so much ease that I couldn't believe everyone around me was an enemy.

       

      I shot one of the objective targets pretending I was testing my gun, melee killed the guy I'd been chatting with as soon as I made him give away which team he was on, then fucked off, proto xD

    I've seen harder to pronounce words and names...
  21. Liam Porter
    Maybe a silly question, but what's cerakote?
  22. Liam Porter
    That's a good idea, they were pretty cheap too, didn't have the colour I wanted though, would have ordered one then if they did.
  23. Liam Porter
    I'll send FireSupport an email, see if they can get hold of a G&P M14 for a reasonable price for me.
  24. Liam Porter
    Do you know if they can get whole guns from any manufacturer?
  25. Liam Porter
    Do you know if it's from the UK, or abroad? And if abroad, if it's straight from manufacturer?
