  1. I joined the ever-growing AAP owners recently, and treated myself to the AA hop unit.

     

    Paired it with a 130mm ZCI barrel from @ak2m4

    So I can replace the whole hop & barrel in one go, and keep the original set up if needed.

     

    Currently using a flamingo V2, but I've also got a couple of maple leaf buckings on order too. (I thought I had some more spare, but obviously not). 

     

    Can't wait to get out & use it next weekend!

  2. I've been looking at

    As they've got a good price on something I'm interested in, lower than anyone else I've found.

     

    Never heard of them before, no Facebook presence or reviews that I can find, but the website *looks* okay.

     

    A little paranoid, but curious If anyone's had experience with them? 

     

     

  3. At a guess, going by my experience, you're likely going to be well-over the limit, especially come summer if using green gas. 

     

    I have a TM MK23 with a similar set-up, except the barrel is a 150mm crazy jet. 

    On that I could be coming in around 1.2 - 1.3J, so a 250 is almost certainly going to be over. 

     

    You could maybe try running it on 144a or nuprol 1.0 gas to stay at a safe power, but I've no experience on these gases I'm afraid.

    Following on from the ZuckerPurge, I thought it may be interesting to see who remembers some of the more random events of forum life in the Noughties...

     

    Question 1 - which "Airsoft Saviour" emerged in 2003 offering Equilibrium inspired M92's and Airsoft ready RAP4 converted RIF's. Some of us met this person, and managed to get something for our original orders that were never delivered.

     

    Who was it?

    I actually did get something I'd ordered off him, as it turns out! 

  5. There's actually only two types (afaik) but they use different numbers for the same thing, it just depends on whether you measure the spring or the spring guide. 

     

    7mm spring guides take 11mm springs 

    9mm spring guides take 13mm springs.

     

    I don't know if an identical number spring will perform differently just based on the diameter, but it's best to match them to your piston. (you ideally don't want a 7mm spring in 13mm large piston, as it's room in which the spring can flex when compressed or releasing - extra noise). 

     

    If you're using the SCW piston, it's large so a 13mm spring is best: I have 2 Rapaxes, a PDI and one unknown brand spring (airsoft pro?) in my rifles (all 13mm pistons). 

     

    The Rapax springs especially work well; at around 2.2J I can cock them with just one finger if I so desire. 

  6. Do you have any damper pads installed on the cylinder head? 

     

    If not, give them a try as an alternative? 

     

    If it's anything like mine, the slightly reduced cylinder volume might be enough to drop the creep enough to be usable (and as a bonus, Should reduce the noise too). 

     

    My VSR was putting out a little over 2.3 joules on 0.45s before installation, but now runs at just over 2.1 joules.
