Did you find one?

Just a matter of nozzle length now I think. It's still a bit meh.

I have a JG SD, it's about 15 years old, done many MANY rounds through it and it refuses to die. Only recently done some work on it, a tad on the fiddly side but once you get the hang of it, it's fine.

Maybe, just maybe, the V3 tappet plate in the V2 gearbox that was installed by the previous owner wasn't the smartest move..... I dunno. Some people....😳🧐

I just tried a shorter nozzle and it's feeding, just at 0.2j. 😁😱😂 Looks like I need the original nozzle to come back a bit further to clear the feed tube. I wouldn't mind so much but the front wired M4 is a pig of a fiddle to do. 🤬😱😂 Actually, thinking about it, I can't do that cos the tappet plate is held against the cylinder head isn't it? Oh well. Hop unit change. Grrr.

Aha...eureka moment. Looked into the feed tube and the nozzle isn't clearing the tube enough to allow it to feed. Looks like it might be time for a sector delay thingy. Might pull it back far enough to work. 😁😂

Cheers matey. This is the first time I've done a hop unit that wasn't a straight swap. It's sat against the gearbox pretty solid but I'll give the o rings a shot 😁👍

So.... Having been given a 20+ year old TM m4a1 by someone, Im trying to get it up and running again. Gearbox done, gears, grease n shimming, new piston n m100 spring. All happily doing their thing. Only issue now is that it had a 2 piece hop unit. But alas, one bit was missing along with the barrel. 😕 So I've attacked it with a Dremel and made one fit (an old g&g I had kicking about), bought a barrel too There's no space in front of it for the spring. Upon test firing just now it doesn't feed at all well (1 in 3 shots) but when it does it's up to 0.8j. I get the feeling that the g&g hop unit is crap, it's not a rotary one, so I've ordered a zci one to go in it. Is the spring an absolute necessity? I've heard tales of o rings being used to shim it back to the V2 gearbox. The mag lines up ok but my concern is that if I shim the hop back to the gearbox, the mag won't line up. Any thoughts?

So, after shifting the wall around to make space for the "free" TM toys that i was given, the P90 made its way to its new home. I imagine i'll get tech duties on it for a while as it hasnt gone far. The M4A1 has been coming along slowly as the two part hop that TM graced it with was missing along with a few other bits, so thats been a work in progress and the G36 hasnt actually come out of the box other than to remove the mother of all 8.6v NiCad battery that was still in it after 10 years in storage! But, after a day of gooning around at a skirmish, i got the offer of a WE galaxy pistol with 4 mags, for the lowly sum of £60. So i bought it, cos why not. The thing is like a hand held cannon. Overhopping 0.28's and generally being 1.02J of pocket silly. I'll get a pic up when i get home as its nothing to look at at all but jees, it can lob plastic for a pistol!

I can't keep quoting myself on xx month update on xx month reviews....😂 Shop officially up and running. More pews than is humanly needed (yeah as if!) on the walls, pistols, tech in house, stuff, things, bits. All there. Yay. Apocalypse site has had some serious tree felling by the forestry commission so the play areas have changed a lot. A lot of that there woodland has been felled and opened up some areas for games that were just follow beforehand. Permanent Marshalls now. The hill is, however, still a bastard.😁

I recognise those Apocolypse pallets.... I only get up there on a saturday cos of the kids, but we might start going up on the sundays...

@Johnboy Sorry i'm late to the party here...i have some spare Cyma m14 parts laying around, i'll have a look when i get home from work to see if i have anything. If its a hop unit you need, i know 6mm had them in stock as i had to get one for my boneyard special but that was late last year.

😁

Hey collective.... So, a while ago I was given some TM toys, so I distributed them between me and my two boys. Only the youngest isn't as mad on airsoft as me and the other kid. (I'm getting him checked to see if he's mine....😂) One of these is an early P90 from the TM clan. It's used, a bit dusty (easy fix!) it's in pretty good nick other than a snapped bit on the upper receiver where the red dot lives. Doesn't affect the red dot, as that works. I haven't chronod it yet but it does cycle- I had to improvise as all my batteries are deans and this is still mini Tamiya. 😁 Two hicap mags with it along with, ironically, the loading tube and poking stick. Even got the little bag of "do not use" bb's that came with it 😁 I might be limiting my sales potential but there's no way I'm posting it but what sort of money are we talking here? I have genuinely no idea....

As i work at a fruit packing place, there are a ton of languages that these guys speak, my go to phrase is "i only speak bad english!"
