Mad dog 49

I'm in the UK and got a Federal Concepts FEDA direct from them. It came from Portugal, but it came. If you are in the US, there is a stockist there too, I just can't remember the name.

I have the Federal Concepts one fitted to my Noveske (GM nozzle). It's much better than the RATech as it doesn't need wedging with a second Allen key or screwdriver to adjust. Easy as hell to fit, spot on consistency and it performed flawlessly over the weekend. Just remember to add a little threadlock to the grub screw to keep it from drifting and you are good to go. As far as I can tell, and having used a Jaeger Precision downgrade valve before the FEDA came back in stock, the JP will be decent too, but it looks like a direct copy of the FEDA which Federal Concepts took the time and money to develop, so if nothing else, I'd go with the Federal Concepts one every time to support developers.

That's a copy of the FEDA valve from Federal Concepts. I've got the FEDA fitted to my Noveske (GM nozzle) and it's absolutely spot on.

I picked up a 300 bb drum mag for my SMC9 and changed the inlet valve for an HPA tap. All worked great for about ¾ of a day and then it came loose and looks like I've stripped the threads in the mag. Has anyone else had this and if so, did you fix it or was it trashed and destined for the bin?

So, what are the latest ideas on eliminating, or reducing bolt bounce? I've seen Ollies videos on the subject, but am I looking for a heavier buffer weight or a lighter one?

Have you changed the gas routers in the DE mags? The stock ones are not a great seal. Try the GM ones. I've picked up the GM v3.5 nozzle as pictured, does anyone know what the rubber o ring is for and where it goes?

I suspect they are young. "Absolutely 0 idea what the FPS is, don't have the cash for an FPS checker" seems like something someone quite young would say.

"Raven", the shit version of Nuprol.

New pew, replacement for my LM4D workhorse. Paired it with a PEQ15, 3x magnifier and RDS and finished it off with a Bifrost BT for flame fun.

For those who have the DE mags, changing the gas router for the GM ones eliminates the DE mag issues. I've put a 250mm barrel in mine, next up is an autobot and omega nub, a GM v3.5 bolt with the stronger nozzle return spring and a FEDA valve when they come back in stock soon. In case anyone gives a toss, all of that added cost and it is still markedly cheaper than an equivalent TM and personally, I think it shoots very respectably. I have zero regrets in getting this over a vastly more expensive TM that would likely still need the same aftermarket parts.

What's your budget and how many are you looking to get?

What are the collectives thoughts on carbon steel inner barrels?

Erm, no idea how soon is "soon", but.... https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/g-and-g-armament-levar-15-gas-powered-lever-action-rifle

It's still live, but the piss taking speedwanker (or "Seller" as commonly known) has closed the advert to further questions and removed any that have been asked so far. On another note, I wouldn't care if it lobbed 1000bbs a second, was made of solid platinum and came with a cheque for £500, no hi capa, especially not one that looks like it's been polished up with a headless smurf carcase is worth that!
