Hi, welcome to the site. If you post a few pics in this thread, we can give you an idea.

Ive had no issues but lots of fun with my WE P226. It is solid in the hand but not heavy.

But how can you focus on the power rating when that changes as you compress the spring to fit it? Rhetorical question really, ill just buy lower power springs until I get it where i want it. 👍

Definitely going to need it's own thread with lots of pics! 😁

Upgrade RIFs? Me? Not bloody likely! I'll only buy stuff that shoots right straight out of the box! Todays upgrade has arrived. Perun ETU++. Time to start learning about programmable mosfets!

My daughter sent me a link for a google map, of a Fb group, with north west sites that has more than playairsoft .co.uk. So, are there any other site finder sites that are more comprehensive populated than the above. I've posted a link to playairsoft a couple of times but would rather promote something better.

Hope you get it sorted. Keep us updated.

Do it mate. The scamming B'stard deserves no chances. He knew what he was selling you.

That's a pisser! Could you, at least, charge back on your card or file a dispute on paypal? Hate seeing people get ripped off!

who read out in an Irish accent? I did! lol

Not what your asking but did you not throw it back at him and get a refund? EDIT: This one? - https://e-tactical.store/en/gearbox/9787-jg-works-metal-gearbox-for-mp5-series-a-x102.html

You dont need to tell me what a kerfuffle its been!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Ok, I heated the end of the spring and compressed about 15 mm ish. Put it all back together and it was totally dead!! Stripped it apart, and slipped, it all went flying all over the floor! Bollocks!!!!! So reshimmed, rebuilt, reassembled and it shoots lovely but stitting at a reasonably consistent 305fps on .28s so 1.2j. Still a little spicy. It was around 320fps on .28s - 1.3j. I've had a look but can't find a spring thats 160mm so I'll probably just heat/compress a little more. Not today though.

Whats a "human oran" and why can't you shoot it?

Who are your UK dealers?

Just looked at your website too. Seems legit. Theres no option to purchase directly from you, are you the manufacturer or a distributor?

I clicked on it and it played the video. Didnt have a clue what was going on though. Lol

Hi, Welcome. Are you from, or affiliated to, a particular manufacturer?

It looks like it's doing what it's supposed to. You pull the top slide backward and it compresses the spring, as it goes forwards it loads a bb (not bullet) into the barrel. Then you pull the trigger and the spring is released pushing the bb out. When you've pulled the top slide back, and let it go forward, does the spring release when you pull the trigger?

No.

Just an afterthought, G&G use 160mm springs but every aftermarket one seems to be 175mm. Unless I fit something like an M80 and hope that with it being compressed to 160mm makes it equivalent to an M100/90/95. I don't think the actual spring rating is that important as long as it's at the right fps. Not sure if rate of fire would be changed with it being a "weaker" spring but, again, will compressing it not affect that???? My head is about to fall off! I'm going for coffee!

Only got one bearing. Would removing a mm or 2 make that much difference? I'm looking at shortening my spring by about 17mm? I need to drop about about 20fps. Really grateful for all of your input too. 😁

That's a good shout. I might try that before cutting. 👍
