I never went away, but the forum left me all alone for the weekend.

NEVER try to cheat chrono - often they give you mag to test but even then they can just speed fill 6 or so 0.20's into most mags, so really don't ever think of trying at my local site

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

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!

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...

Oooohhhh another QUALITY B500a1 offer, go on then about time I got a pro gun

Definitely top quality there, Duck!

ImTriggerHappy, you are a bad human being

Thats a lot more polite than what most people call me.

LOL

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!

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)

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.

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

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

as one I listed were long 116mm

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!

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

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

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

good luck & god speed

As a complete new guy with no friends that do it I have found it a little daunting but the folks on the forum have been fantastic. Mind you some people surprise me that they survived to adulthood...

this ^^

It's not ignorance that annoys me; there's always something you don't know after all.

It's when people are just so lazy & unwilling to expend the slightest bit of effort or thought and insist on having everything done for them that I get annoyed!

Worth a shot, I guess. Cheers!

And it's a no. Brilliant.

Yh I have had the same frustration as you :/

If it is 2.8mm that's perfect. Can get them for 16p each in that case.

Component shop sell small ones for 16p a throw but they're not gold plated (although that's actually NOT an issue for motor connections BTW). They're 1/8" hence 2.8mm as SD said.

Cheers guys.

Mystery solved...It's an ICS!

After all the fuss, I noticed an otherwise useless button above the stock that had the ICS logo on. XD

Thats not a useless button its the catch to seperate upper and lower receiver.

I've not tried doing that yet, so I've no idea!

It was never present on the other ones.

That is, apart from getting bullshit everywhere!

I'll come on tonight with my mates, is it Infantry only or vehicles?

Infantry only at present.

Say hi to the GR guys; some of them are airsofters too (But they're not *that* bad, really)
