To clarify a longer barrel length increases FPS; Which also means energy - which means you can use heavier ammo more effectively - which reduces deviation from wind and fauna - which means ACCURACY is increased Which also means speed - which means the BB takes longer to slow down - which means backspin and lift are maintained longer - which means RANGE is increased

Extra barrel length only adds power, not accuracy.

You can measure the thickness of the wire with verniers, thicker = stiffer/higher FPS. If they are the same length and wire thickness, the one with less coils will be stiffer/higher FPS.

Couldn't say yet as the gun is in bits, will let you know 👍

Basically yeh delivered within 3 days! Couldnt believe it!!

Bought a new LCT Ak105 for the next build (in build already haha), along with some sexy mags i know nowt about this stuff, but do you need an IR illuminator, or does it have an in built one?

Thanks to all involved, i did contact NPO directly, but they are currently out of stock / not manufacturing them. If anyone wants any - i ordered some from Grey Shop RU, they look so pretty!! Cant test them ATM as my AK is in bits. To any potential purchasers, they do need a little TLC to finish the untreated cut metal areas, this could be done with black aerosol and would mimic the OE finish on some plum mags.

Sooo may have not been out playing of late, but i bought a used / not working TM M870 during lockdown months back, sold as leaking and having a hash sawn of job done, plus some vom RIS screwed on. The sweetener for me was it coming with an Angry Gun Gas AR stock, which seem to be obsolete for the most part nowadays. Ordered a few WII TECH & SAT parts at the same time, they arrived a few weeks later from the east. Basically it was leaking between the receiver and the gas expansion/reservoir inlet, a couple O rings sorted that, then that leak moved forward - with the proper pressure in the expansion cylinder - the nozzle was now leaking, luckily id ordered a WII TECH one I also ordered a genuine MESA Remington pump grip and cartridge holder through Brownells. The pump grip took a little bit of TLC with the finger blaster, sorry sander, and gives a much better lump to grip. I did splash out on the SAT steel shortened outer barrel, to remedy the hash saw job, plus it has the nice finish and trades. One bonus other M870 users may or may not be aware of - the SAT barrel has a threaded screw hole to screw the block to up front, this is AMAZING as it does away with that PITA nut plate inside the barrel - if youve taken one of these down youll appreciate how great that is! Also fitted the WII TECH aluminum hop unit and loading nozzle unit, awesome bit of machining that! I then reinstated the pump lock with WII TECH steel parts, works a charm. Well chuffed with it, now it all works properly, its most satisfying to operate, and the shot sound is pretty cool. Will get some nice TM cartridges now it works Oh yeh and when testing / not fully assembled i managed to shoot that3 way barrel spacer into the garden during strong winds, that was novel haha!

Im sure most people read this as - free gun, just ask 🤣 He wouldnt be interested as its not an NGRS 🙄

@AK47frizzle very impressive work!! 🍺 @Speedbird_666 I can chuck you a couple MP5 mags if you need them, just cover the postage 👍

That's going the extra mile for 20 FPS! Hats off to you, I certainly couldn't be arsed with that 😂

Changing gearbox shells is never normally conducive to an easy life! Why bother changing the shell!?

If your going 0.3s try Green Devil BIO, better than Blasters or Geoffs

Figures, Nuprol stuff is not safe 😂

How many fingers do you have? Do you live near a nuclear power station??

Swear you have this stuff on a copy paste basis now @Sitting Duck 👍 I don't know what ratio that brick you have runs, but assuming 18ish:1 then a decent 22000 motor on an 11.1 pulling 340 FPS will get you around the 20s on ROF. You WILL NEED active brake for that. Or run a 9.9 LiFe which will get you in the mid/high teens without active braking.

What is this mythical coffee then? Spill the beans 😏 I wanna try some before Bada Bing sniffs it out

Haha! Planning on building up an AK105 hence the request for AK74 Bakelites. Aee there any off-the-shelf options? @E21A I think @Sniper780 just made a typo, I seem to have ridiculous dyslexia typing sometimes too! Thankyou Skara, those NPOs look fiiiiiiiine! 😍

So guys n gals, who makes the prettiest looking AK74 Bakelite mid caps that fit Real Swords?

Haha yeh no - not equal amounts of leg work or repeatable results across multiple builds though

People usually mess them up maybe, but when you do it right they make exceptional guns.

I use them on AEGs, yes the will not make your gun silent, but they definitely reduce the report from a crack to a dull thump. Couple that with volume matching, properly shimmed box, quality motor, decent gear speed/voltage and helical pinion/bevel - then you have a very short dull thud as your shot signature.

Hah nothing offensive @Skara! Yes meant what @Speedbird_666 said. I doubt it'll look like that for long! Why don't you Rhop it?

Might as well be looking at a house brick 😆

If you are expecting a physical replaceable fuse there is not one. It is an auto resetting chip based fuse.
