Yeah i went and chrono'd at site the other day with my M904A with .25 bbs with hop on i only get 220 FPS so i dunno wether or not its the cold temps or just the fact in reality they are cheaper RIF's. Think spring, rubber and barrel could be my way forward and see how that changes things and go from there.

will have a look after i finish work!

no rush let me know when you upload them and ill have a look

if it hasnt blown up it should be fine i'd give it a proper balance charge just to be safe and then it should be back to normal

Yeah the charged one shoulkd 100% make a difference like never know motor might be topped out but more likely the charge of the battery. let me know when you have uploaded again im keen to see the difference.

not yet as im in work and cant access youtube but will have a look on my lunch and get back to you.

Yeah mine has both the screws you are talking about so will try that did see them but i hadnt a clue what they where so thought lets not mess with it 30 mins before the games started haha. After some reflection i personally dont think my ROF is that bad as i am only using a 7.4v when the recomended is a 11.1 so that will be one reason. Also have been watching a few speedy boi videos and there HPA ROF is just a different level anyway so comparing it to them is going to make it look like a massive difference.

Thanks for the reply but my problem is actually accessing the grub screw as the rail system covers it so that needs to come off to be able to access it but i havent a clue how to get it off.

Hey guys just an update since recieving my RIF. I LOVE IT!! honestly it is so solid and shoots lovely only on thing i dont like is the ROF with a 7.4v lipo so going to look at getting an 11.1 soon. I have ran into a problem tho when i attended a night game the other day. How do you take of the muzle break of the M904A as it looks like there is a grub screw but you cant reach it because of the rail? i know you will be able to take the rail system off but i didnt want to start tinkering with it on the night of the game incase i screw anything up. Gutted i couldnt use a tracer for the night but a super bright torch with a focus lense lit up normal bbs like a tracer. Anyone removed the rail before to be able to take the muzzle break off and if so any tips on things to look out for or easiest ways ect. TIA

yeah one of them would be enough thats true and i cant remember of the top of my head just did some digging online and found it sure it was £35. I was meant to have the 908 but they labelled all there 904a stock as 908b stock so got that sent to me and then didnt have the 908 in stock to swap so refunded me the difference in price and sent me a free speedloader. So i only have the buffer tube space for a battery in the 904a Yeah agreed for the sake of £15 give or take its not worth worrying about in my opinion and i can get a 18cmx2cm battery in the buffer tube of my 904A with it just sticking into the stock a little it but doesnt make a difference as i have the stock extended so doesnt interfere.

Yeah mny 7.4v stick that i have has a big wiggle room for a fatter battery and like you say the length isnt an issues as it just sits inside the stock just as long as the wirering isnt stretched then will be fine i seen a titan stick 11.1 battery that looked a good size for the buffer tube but them batteries where like £35 and i think thats rather ridiculous for a battery.

yeah going to try .25's and see how it goes on sunday. i think i will try it with the 7.4v first and see how i like it if i feel like i need a bit more then ill have a shop around. I think the trouble for me is the space in the buffer tube seems pretty small so with my lack of knowledge finding one that fits might be an issue but im sure a stick 11.1 wouldnt be an issues as i have my stock extended a bit aqnyway so has a bit more room for length.

think i might bump it to .28's then since i play a mix of woodland and CQB village with some longer distances in the village still. thinking about tight bore barrel and new hop rubber in a month or so see how it feels.

100% This is the first time using them and i will be returning to use them again. The M904A its self wasnt in anyway bad i was actually really happen when just looking at it it was the fact it just wasnt what i paid for but with the difference sorted out im more than happy to call this my first RIF!! Cant wait till sunday to use this and get my sights and hop set up and really get a good feel for it. Deffo going to be running .25's for it first then might go for .28's will see how the .25's preform for me and my playstyle (running like a mad man into buildings with four people looking at the door normally xD).

Just to update everyone i have been in touch with Patrol Base today and they couldnt have been more helpful with my order issues (inprevious posts). They had labelled all there Double Eagle M904A's as M908B's in the warehouse so thats why i recieved a 4A. They where very appologetic and understanding. They gave me a couple of options of what i would like to do with the issue and all where a possitive giving me more than the differance in price between the RIF's. i choose to refund the difference and they are sending a free speed loader to me for my troubles. Customer service was 10/10 couldnt reccomed them more.

Yeah thats a good point once i get the rif sorted and actually get delivery of the one i ordered xD ill 100% be using it on a 7.4 first for a full day and see how i feel never know with a fully juiced 7.4 could be absolutely fine so defo going to test it first and see. like you say id rather a working gun than not.

Yeah i know it would be better on a 11.1 just patrol base website said they recomend a 7.4 unless shooting over 390 FPS but if you and others have had a good experience with an 11.1 then think ill invest in one. Just didnt want to damage the gearox if it couldnt handle it.

Yeah i have an asg smart charger that turns off when full and stuff like that so hopefully thats alright. yeah will be gettoing fully charged when i need to use it next weekend. yeah 100% friendly first no point in shouting as soon as they answer doesnt get me anywhere. They must have test fired it as there was a single BB in the mag. hopefully sorted for next weekend like i say i just want to use my new gear haha

hahah yeah but a battery is a battery at the end of the day surely they cant have messed that up. and i wouldnt like to say it just sounded like a really slow rental im guessing it just isnt a fully charged battery. yeah im going to ring them on moday morning and find out the crack about getting it back and getting the right one delivered. and yeah it is back away in the box now not opening it again i was like a kid at christmas so opened it and connected a batter to make sure it wasnt faulty then was like hang on and gave it a little flick and realised it was the plastic body one when i ordered the full metal on haha. yeah they have multiple options from what i read on there return policy information so hopefully get it sorted and the right one back to me straight away as i paid for next day delivery to be able to play tomorrow but thats not happening anymore.

Also When i recieved the M904a i tried it with the battery i ordered aswell which is a nuprol 7.4 lipo and in full auto it sounded pretty slow i dunno wheather this is possibly not a full battery charge i dunno how much they come with new or thats just the rate of fir in the DE's? Or on the other hand if i should be running a 11.1. Ive seen people on the forums running the 904's on 11.1 but patrol base only recomend 7.4 with the m908b unless shooting over 390 FPS. does this matter what do people recomend??

Nah the phones are only open monday to friday so will have to wait the longest weekend in my life hahaha.

Thats good to hear then just have to wait till monday to hear anything tho as they are closed haha. It says they have them in stock on the website so hopefully they can send it straight here, do you know if they have to wait to recieve the one they sent me before posting the other one or how do they do it? plan on playing next weekend and dont want to be without.

hahaha i mean it is a nice RIf dont get me wrong but i ordered the other model for a reason full metal and think it looks a little better surely they cant be anything but apologetic and send me the right one straight away? yeah thats a good statement to hit them with because they havent forfilled there end of the retail agreement by sending what i paid for. on there website it says they will email a pre paid label to stick on it so hopefully can get it sorted. Are they known to mess up alot of orders by any chance?

@Rogerborgmy delivery came and they sent me a M904a instead of the M908B god sake now have to faff on with getting it swapped hopefully patrol base are good with it and quick

Thankyou very much for that information thats good advice to stop anything breaking when its such a simple fix. ill make sure to do it to anything i buy for it just to be safe.
