    So, been doing this airsoft malarkey for 18 months or so an i'd like to thank each person on this forum for help given a long the way. So, like a noob, I bought a boneyard mb03 sniper rifle when first starting out. Cos, you know, we all do it, snipers are cool and all that. 😁 Could never get it above 280fps on a .28. not great, so I gave up and carried on with the honey badger, the kids bought all sorts and I've got quite good at fixing stuff ... The poor mb sat on the wall, sulking. At a loose end yesterday and thought I'd have another play. Turns out you need the correct hop rubber and a cylinder head that actually goes into said hop rubber...😂😂😂😂😂 450fps. Happy days. 😁

    Ooooh. Aug goodness. 😁 I bought a boneyard TM one. For the paltry sum of £90. It wasn't well. @Iceni pointed me in the correct direction and after managing to lunch a spur gear (yup, tm cheesium gears) with the addition of a high torque motor, I rebuilt the box, painted it the correct RAL colour (aka "mud"- seriously, that's the Oem name for it!!) And I LOVE IT. I apparently have an oddball one, as mines all silencered up but may be a tm/snow wolf swinging session outcome. 490mm tb barrel, m105, hi torque, metal gears 😁, new Oem hop with a maple and I can chuck 0.28's at people all day.

    I have a desert Bergen, but it's not a dpm. Bought it years ago, damn thing still had sand in it...😂

    I'd use that bombard against him...😂😂

    Welcome to the madhouse. 😁 I have the honey badger m904g. It's awesome. It's my first AEG and you can't go too far wrong with it. I've added parts, tuned it, removed parts, got a pat on the head from Kevin at Q in the states (original designer of the honey badger and all round nice bloke) too. Learn the steps to program it and it's a hoot. 😁 I've added: battery box extension, maple leaf bucking, +50mm tight bore, gearbox shimmed and greased, paint job, go faster motor. I've messed with springs and managed to lock the gearbox ARL (anti reverse latch) and it still came back for more. Currently just under 1 joule on 0.28's. I love it.

    I bought a replacement v3 gearbox to replace the one I murdered in my aug. Now I'm busy googling how to drill the TM gearbox bush holes to fit the ones from the replacement....😁
  7. Egon_247
    So there i was, looking up the specs of my old pew and saw that PB had done some improvements to the original barrel bore and length.... LOL.

    My day at Apocalypse 249, started fine...trial running the TM Aug that i've been nursing back to life. Then it went like this.... "PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWGRAUNCHGRINDGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr. tinkle" ahhhh. Oh dear. Ok, time to learn about building DMR's out of Steyr Augs....

    Just bought a boneyard TM AUG with some kind of fancy suppressor thingy on it. It didnt work. 20 mins of fiddling and a bit of hop cut off, its up and running. Mags bought, conversations had about TM gears being made of cheese and i reakon it'll be a giggle on game day. (crosses fingers!!) And did a thing with the boys MP5 front grip. Used an old LED torch, a battery holder, bit of wire and a switch. Does the job and didnt cost me £70+!!!!

    Same argument as "garaging" a nice car over winter. Genuinely dont see the point. Someone designed it (more or less!) to be used. Get in, start it up and drive it. Met a guy with an old porsche 911 that had 500,000+ miles on it. It just got used every day. It broke. He fixed it. kept going. Granted i dont have any rifs that go past £300 but theyre all there to be used.

    Hiya, having done a search on the forum, you seem to be the AUG guru... :)

    I have just landed a boneyard TM AUG and after a tad of fiddling, is back up and running. Barring a couple of screws that hold the hop into the barrel unit, its all good. Unfortunately, the previous owner wasnt very kind and it appears the hop unit is broken just forward of the C clip. So, i'm on the look out for a hop unit....my question is.......any makes to avoid? By the looks of it, its a dedicated hop and doesnt share any other platforms. Or am i wrong on that? the G36 one looked similar but id rather buy one that was going straight in.

    Any help greatly appreciated as this is one of my bucket list RIF's (next is a FAL and then a FAMAS---i know, i'm weird...LOL!!).

    :D

      Aug's are defiantly one of the oddities of the airsoft world.

      Unlike other platforms like the m4 where the gearbox is locked in place and you reference everything to the gearbox, Augs have no reference or fixed points internally. It's more of a relationship.

      The only real fixed point is the back of the spacer on the back of the hop. It's that engagement that sets everything else up and it took me a while to work it all out.

      The hop position in the upper, Irrelevant. It just needs to move freely.
      Magwell plate, irrelevant. It'll self position to the mag, and line up to the hop automatically.
      Gearbox position, irrelevant. The hop will set the distance and put load onto the gearbox plate, I actually killed a magwell plate when I first got an AUG thinking shimming a gearbox would be a good idea, it's not. Let the hop spring do all that work.
      Even the tappet plate/airnozzle are largely irrelevant. You need just enough space to feed well, but if it's pushing too hard on the hop the tappet spring is weak enough that it seats correctly anyway. And doesn't push the gearbox off the hop.

      It's a weird gun to understand. But also very simple and very clever when you do understand it. It's by far my favourite internal design. You can set everything on the gearbox external to the body, even motor height. And the rest just works if you let it work. Most Augs i've looked at second hand that have issues all relate to the hop not moving correctly, and people going round in circles trying to fix a problem they created.

      Hop fitted. High torque motor fitted. Sound deadening fitted. It's EVIL...😂

      Thank you for your guidance. I've printed it out and ingested every word.👍

      Glad it's all working out :D Have fun with it :D

    I have a battery compartment extension piece. 👍
  13. Egon_247
    Not the greatest picture but works a treat.👍

    This week I have mostly made a mess.😂 Finished off painting the honey badger and put it back together. Couple of little things left to do (mlok the rail, DIY stylee) and move onto the mk23/usp45 conversion. Cut it down but the boy nicked my silencer! Git.
  15. Egon_247
    Still going....😁
  16. Egon_247
    What do I wish I knew before I started (exactly a year today!)? The sodding lottery numbers!!!
  17. Egon_247
    Heh, I've just had two coppers move in to the downstairs flat (we have to go down stairs over their back garden to get to ours) and one of them clocked my boy with his mp5 and went "ooh an mp5. Like it!" I think they're cool with it as the front door is still on its hinges and in not full of holes...
  18. Egon_247
    Yeah, got a cell checker. It was showing 12v at 99%. Odd. Still it fires well enough on 7.4v 2000mah. I'm not stressing about it. As for the full auto twit, we hunted him down with a bolt action and a mag full of 0.48g....😁
  19. Egon_247
    Ooooh. Had an odd one last weekend. Went on an under 18's day with the kids and encountered what I can only describe as "full auto dad". Just brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr all the time. Not hit calling, blatant cheating and generally ignoring rule 1 of Airsoft. Ie, being a d!CK. So after hitting him 5 or 6 times, him full autoing both my boys from 6 feet away, I thought "sod this" and went back to safe zone to slot the 11.1 in instead of the 7.4. Three shots in and the MOSFET gives me 5 buzzes and no go. Under voltage apparently. On a fully charged 11.1. Weird . Went back to 7.4 and all was well again. Battery flunked? Possibly. (Oh and in case you were concerned, a 0.32 in my mk23 in the head from 10 feet wasn't called, so I emptied the 20 remaining rounds into him. Oddly he called the last one....😁)

    Ok, "dad tech" to the rescue!! Lol Stripped it out last night and the arl spring was mullered, so a bit of pliers action and it was back to the shape it should be. Ish. Used a bit of jb on the hole and it's back up and running, 12rps at 260fps/0.28g. yay. Thanks for the help and suggestions guys, appreciated. 👍 (Then fixed his Glock 19 as his recoil spring was in back to front and the slide was sticking!!!)
  21. Egon_247
    How much posted+PayPal fees bud?
  22. Egon_247
    Yeah, looks like it's new shell time. I'll give the jb stuff a punt but I'm not holding my breath. I've gotta make up a spring tester as I'm sure one of them is an m120. Which without short stroking, would probably be the culprit... Damn thing could do with a quick change spring too, you gotta strip the box each time!! It's a nice pew but like you guys have said, after a google or ten,they do have cracking issues.
  23. Egon_247
    Hi all. My boys beloved mp5 has developed an issue. He was going for a bit more power in the shape of a new spring and found my random collection of springs. One seems to have damaged the gearbox by way of the anti reversal latch Mounting hole...it's now oval 😳 As this isn't a rotating part, could I rebuild it with chemical metal around this point? At first I thought it was just the latch being crap but it's making odd noises after cycling. Like it's pushing backwards. It's the electric blow back and other than a new gearbox case I'm struggling to think how to fix it.... Any ideas chaps/chapesses?
  24. Egon_247
    Well, as i cant stand threads that just die off and no one knows what happened.....this happened.... I bought the M4 conversion piece (aliexpress, was about £8 and is 3d printed) and fitted it. The M4 tube mounting screw was about 10mm too long but an M6 nut and a couple of washers and jobs a good un. While i was doing that, i did actually cut his original stock down and with some M4 countersunk bolts, a bit of plate and some swearing, i managed to cut about 12cm off and remount the shoulder part. I'll get some pics tonight when i get home from work but he's a happy chap again. So happy that he bought an MP5. KIDS!!!!!
  25. Egon_247
    Ooof. This is another rabbit hole of scary proportions that I've jumped into.... Bought two AAP in the patrol base Xmas sale thingy. One for me and one for the boy. He's already wanting to faster bits (cow cow springs?). It's already got a 6.02 and a maple leaf....😂 I quite fancy making mine into a weird but that's not even been looked at yet! Where do people start with the AAP?
