@DerDer From what my mate told me the previous owner's lovely hand burnt wood that Luke did on the original build snapped so the pistol grip and handguard were changed

@strykerles It was stuck in safe so we had to manually go into the jefftron app to make safe actually semi to get it to fire - which was fine for testing things until the jefftron randomly got upset and won't connect anymore. Just cracked the casing them so after a little once over I'm going to see if pressing the reset button when it's connected to power'll do anything, fingers crossed 

Not too sure what's up with it, but it's not looking too good. When a battery's plugged in it's still completely unresponsive, not even a sensor check (the motor's also in), only thing that would point to according to jefftron's manual is that the fuse is gone, but from the looks of it...

 

...Fuse looks alright to me. Has the leviathan pulled a leviathan and died of death?

How wide is the hop chamber slot for the nub?  Omega nubs are only 4mm wide so not much to play with, any smaller and it might affect how the thing actually works.  I don't think cutting nubs is a good way to reduce the size also, your better off sanding down I think with some fine grit paper, taking a little off each side very slowly.  

If you do you order another one up I'll drop in a spare factory 2nd one I have so you can practise your sanding 🙂

Planning on doing a order of a few bits for delving inside one of the pews because a jam's knackered the airseal stuff inside so I'll let you know - heart of gold you've got by the way haha, appreciate it

Honestly, even though it was doing looney tunes outlines around people it was a blast honestly, we've only just had work done on our CQB part of our site recently and they're getting a bunch of cheap springer shotguns in to do shotgun/pistol only games in there so I thought I'd give it a go early, apart from the stock trying it's hardest to leak (long flathead 'm4 buffer tube screwdriver mate' to the rescue) things went perfectly fine, which was a suprise

I'd love to do one up eventually though, get the longer barrels, the high output valves, the posh modify gas tanks, shim the hop so it can hop 0.28s etc but seeing as HPA's disallowed at our site there's no point really going crazy with it because the gas shotties are just limited without an air line meaning it just works 40% of the time rather than 100% lol

Good to hear! I probably should give mine a second chance then. As ,much as I love the idea of making it work, it just doesn't seem to be able to apply any appreciable hop to even .2s, and the spread is wild. I've cleaned the barrels and fixed hops gently with alcohol soaked patches in case they were covered in grease/oil, but no difference....

Yes, mine was wildly leaking from new - I had to remove the buffer tube (mine has the M4 type stock), then re-lube the o rings and re-tighten. I'm not shy about taking things apart (albeit the M14 was admittedly a stretch), but I'm told that shotguns are a bit of a nightmare to strip down!

Yeah, the M870s are pretty notorious for being swiss watches with a thousand hair thick springs that love just pinging across the room never to be seen again - I got PTSD from the last time I took mine apart because my cylinder was a little loose and I just couldn't get the thing back together for the longest time and ended up getting a mate to pop it back together because I was losing my head after it just wouldn't play nice lmao

At least with the GEs you always have the option of just buying another one if you royally cock it up, and even then you're still under the price of a new TM one lol
