    Productive Sunday. Fixed the VZ58 *and* sorted the 552's double-feeding problem. :D

    How in the hell can a spring guide just disappear?? >:(

      Eh, I wouldn't be taking it back anyhow tbh.

       

      I'll stick with my own tech-work from now on; it's about the only way I get stuff working properly! ;)

      always the way when my other half makes me tidy up my mess as she calls it, then I can never locate the stuff again for yonks. Ah bless 'em

      :)

      It's not mess; it's organised chaos. I know where each & every part is until it gets tidied! ;)

      lol - quick change spring :D

      Yup. Absolutely gutted. A two hour drive each way, to boot. >_<

       

      If it hadn't been made by Ares, I would have just done it myself; but from experience I'm highly skeptical of Ares' longevity and so I wanted to not invalidate the warranty or anything, but seeing as I had to pay regardless, I'd have been as well off doing it myself. Pah!

      Still; I'll know for next time!

  4. Hudson
    Nope, sorry. I'd imagine they're about as compatible as petrol and flamethrowers though.

    I bought one of these for the rare occasion I play CQB. Full face protection, strong lenses and comes with both integral lights for dark areas (Enough to read by or for viewing things a couple of feet away at least) and a 2-speed fan to help prevent fogging. They can also fit glasses under without problems (depending on your glasses size, obviously). Played a full day indoors without trouble, so certainly worth a look for the low price!

    Off to Patrol Base tomorrow; hopefully get this damned VZ58 sorted once & for all!

      The amount of times I've seen "full metal" and they really mean the slide or something in terms of a pistol...

      you guys need to stop shopping at JustBBguns then, I stopped ages ago - well last week to be exact...

    When you click 'view new content' make sure that you've not clicked off 'new since my last visit' or 'content I've not read' over on the left hand side of the page. I had the same problem a while back!
  11. Hudson

    D'oh. VZ58 woes continue. It chronos at or around the stated 320fps...without hop. But in order to get enough hop to lift .28s, it increases to the equivalent of 365-370. D'oh. :(

      Hudson

      It's certainly possible. Never had an Aeg where hop increases the power!

      Gonna drop the store a message & get them to have a look at it.

      May as well make use of my warranty whilst I have it; especially with an Ares gearbox! ;)

    3. Colonel Kurtz

      Prompted me to give it bit more of a google as hop-up increasing fps was v curious. Seems there is a threshold for it increasing it, although you getting 40fps off it suggests it's bit over-volumed too (not to a point where it'll cause issues firing 0.2 as intended)

    4. Hudson

      Hudson

      Well I've contacted them & let them know the problem, fingers crossed it'll all get sorted.

       

      If I'd known it was going to be so much trouble I wouldn't have bought it!

       

      Cheers for your help fella. :)

  12. Hudson
    I don't know if I'll be there then, but hope to see you guys if I am!
  13. Hudson

    Got my new shiny VZ58! Dear God the battery space is a massive ball-ache though!

      at just over £4 - get a file/dremmel and MAKE them fit

    3. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      bummer - then it might have to to be the vapex ones

      as one I listed were long 116mm

    4. Hudson

      Hudson

      I don't think there's any way you *could* dremel or file, tbh.

      The way the thing's designed, if you take anything off the areas that *would* increase space you're going straight into a structural part, and then that opens up a whole new can of worms!

       

      Thanks for the help, but I think I'm just going to have to struggle on with what I have at present; at least unless someone makes an entire top cover that's actually a LiPo! ;)

  14. Hudson
    So, either of you able to make it Rifleworks Sunday?
  15. Hudson

    Decided to take a risk on Ares & order a VZ58...

      My ASG MK43 is a rebranded Ares, had 12,000 bb's roughly so far....never missed a beat and always feeds and as I've said before, nearly matches my TM recoil for range. My vz.58 also shoots well and hops .28 very well

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      Well it'll be staying completely stock until it eventually dies, so I'll see how long it lasts.

    4. Colonel Kurtz

      Colonel Kurtz

      will prob be alright, even the dodgiest guns can't have a very high % of guns sold having issues

  16. Hudson
    It's a little rubber sleeve & nub that pushes down on the BB to give it 'backspin' to help increase range.
  17. Hudson
    They're not running on the 26th fella; they're open this Sunday, which I'm off to & then fortnightly.
  18. Hudson
    Yeah, there's a few around here of varying quality. You have Rifleworks, Nsc, Ntac, No Limits in Gateshead and Northern Alliance down past Northallerton, and more a bit further south. There's also Stirling that run weekend events at catterick too!
  19. Hudson
    Hi there fella & welcome I'm from Teesside too; over in Hartlepool. Depending where you are, you're welcome to grab a lift; I play at Rifleworks in Consett & Khe sahn at Otley. I'm actually off to RW this Sunday, so hit me up if interested!

    I like you already, PT. A man after my own heart!
  22. Hudson
    The G-spec comes with a rail for mounting scopes on, whilst the basic version has iron sights. The Standard one also has a longer barrel, whereas the G-spec has a shorter barrel & suppressor. There's not much in it, as you can replace the irons on the basic with a rail, or get a replacement muzzle on the G-spec to install a longer barrel and/or different suppressor etc. **Beaten to it by Prof!

    I'm after a little part for an AK foregrip, if anybody has one they'd sell.

    Okay...they fit fine. No idea what PB are on about.
  25. Hudson
    I've got one of both. I'll test them together once I've woken up properly.
