[Specna arms edge & 11.1v lipo?]

6 hours ago, Rogerborg said:

There are no guarantees in airsoft, but I don't have any particular concerns running 11.1V in mine.  The risk factors in Specnas are the Orion gearbox cracking at the front, and the bearings collapsing, and both of those are more related to backy-forwardy stresses from the spring rather than spinning the gears faster.  You're vanishingly unlikely to get pre-engagement or feeding issues just from going to 11.1V with the stock motor and an M90-M100 spring.

 

I would caution that you might see double-tapping on semi, especially with the stock M90 spring, but there's only one way to find out.

Thanks dude I appreciate it. 

 

I'll give it a go and see if I prefer it enough to keep running it. I do have another if all goes pear shaped. Thanks for your input 👍

Cheers guys, so it's unlikely to fry anything in the gearbox then?

[WE f226 valve]

pretty much any WE inlet valve should work , I tend to get mine from KY airsoft and buy a few at a time.

Awesome, thanks bud will order some. 

[WE f226 valve]

Hey, does anyone know where I can get hold of a fill valve for the WE f226? Or know of any others that would fit? 

 

Any help would be awesome I can't find anywhere, at least in stock. 

[Specna arms edge & 11.1v lipo?]

Have a specna arms edge (not the 2.0 version) sa-e14 

 

Currently have a 7.4 in, could the internals handle a n 11.1v lipo? If not what adjustments would I need to make? 

 

Cheers 

[G&G GC16MPW Battery advice]

Scratch this! 

 

Downloaded the manual for this model and it's an 11.1v and not above 25C. Thought I would mention my findings incase anyone else has the same question. 

[G&G GC16MPW Battery advice]

Hey guys, looking for a bit of advice on the G&G GC16MPW in regards to the battery. 

 

Would it run an 11.1v 20C OK? I'm seeing conflicting recommendations, many saying 11.1v below 25c and others (mainly pbase) saying 9.6v NiMH. 

 

Any advice would be great, any owners what do you run? 

 

Cheers 

[G&G Arp 556 or alternatives]

Iirc G&G makes a polymer version at a lower price, but can't remember the name.

 

Either way £300 for an ARP seems a little over the top for me, if you don't mind teching you can get more performance for less.

You might want to take a look at the King Arms series of PDWs, I have the 9mm version and a full overhaul wasn't too expensive, I think I spent around €300 on mine between gun and upgrades, though I already had some parts.

Yeah I had a feeling it might be, because I don't think it's anything overly special and their arp9 polymer version is around £200 but I just don't want to have to get into 9mm mags and pouches etc. 

 

I've been looking at a couple others, the krytac trident mk2 pdw which is around the same sort of price but not sure how good it is if any better at all. The KWA ronin T6, as mentioned above, which I like, but from what I'm seeing KWA are not as good build wise as G&G. 

 

I'll check out the King Arms, thanks

Arp556s are constantly in demand so sometimes retailors take liberties with raising the prices.  If you're looking for a better alternative then I'd suggest the Ronin TK45c. It has a similar honey badger, PDW look, great rate of fire and maintains a good trigger response even with 7.4 lipos. But more importantly it fires as straight as a laser and If you're not a fan of the smg type mags you can get the Ronin VM4 variant which will take most M4/stanag types.

Thanks, yeah absolute nightmare and at £300 it isn't exactly cheap. I have found it somewhere but it's £350.. For the exact reason you said. Will check out the Ronin. 

 

Thanks dude 

[G&G Arp 556 or alternatives]

Currently have a specna arms sa-e14. 

 

I'm looking to get a second pew, because A, I've caught the bug. B, I'd quite like to have a backup for full days and C, I'd like to do a bit more CQB style play. 

 

I like the short, pdw rifs and have been eyeing the Arp 556 for a while and it seems to tick all the boxes. Looks good, apparently sounds good, will take my current mags and fit rig. 

 

As it seems with a lot of bits at the moment, getting one is proving pretty difficult. So, 

 

Is this a good gun for around £300?

Are there any alternatives, possibly better? 

 

Max budget would be around £350 as would probably be getting some extra bits for it. 

 

Any advice is appreciated. 

 

Thanks 

[Upgrade advice]

Thanks for the advice guys.

 

Have been a few times and am overall really happy with the gun as it is, may look at changing the rubber etc (easier bits) and give it a good clean. 

 

I'm not overly an auto guy so most of the time I'm in semi mode. Snappier response would be great but Im not left feeling I Need it after a game. 

 

Will probably look into modding more once I have a back up incase my modding goes sideways 😂 

 

Thanks again 

[Upgrade advice]

Hey guys, pretty new to everything airsoft but absolutely love it and definitely have the bug! I'm after a bit of advice from people that actually know their stuff. 

 

I have a specna arms Sa-e14 (rock river arms)

 

Chronoing around 300 on 0.25s
6.03 inner barrel
Gate X-ASR mosfet
Orion gearbox

 

I am seeing all over the place that upgrading the bucking and barrel etc will help with performance, but on this gun is it actually worth doing anything? There's plenty of videos saying do this do that but I don't fully trust agendas on YT to be honest with so many sponsored videos etc. 

 

I also acknowledge that I am new to the sport and don't really want to start digging into the rif too deeply as to end up with a non working or unreliable piece from my lack of experience. 

 

I'm mainly concerned about getting as much accuracy as possible and if possible an increased RoF. 

 

So with my rant over, is it worth changing anything at all or will I not get much performance change in this rif? 

 

Budget wise I'm happy to spend £100 or around that if it's worth it. 

 

On a side note I am looking to get a second incase this one fails and have been looking at the g&g arp 556 to suit more CQB matches, is this a good gun for long term? I'm assuming it's quite a bit better than my current SA am I right in saying that? It's nearly £120 more than the SA cost me. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated. Any other info I've missed let me know. 

 

Thanks guys. 

 

 

[Cross threaded stock]

Awesome, thanks guys! 

[Cross threaded stock]

Had a great day today, following a balls to the wall end of the day CQB I took a rather embarrassing tumble and must have hit my stock on the ground. The stock/buffer tube was pretty loose and upon trying to tighten the screw I am getting noticeable cross threading feedback which has gotten worse to the point that the screw will now slide into the thread freely for about 10mm resulting in me not being able to properly fix the stock at all. 

 

How should I go about fixing this issue? The screw is noticeably bent slightly but I think the female part on the spring guide? Does seem to be cross threaded now from trying to tighten up. 

 

It's a specna arms sa-e14.
