    To me it sounds like with the Maxx Model hop unit upgrade was matched to the wrong length nozzle, and with the Kythera engine the nozzle is still the wrong length.

     

    Maxx do specify an expected nozzle length with their hop units, with the three RIF's I have personally upgraded to them all having their nozzles changed at the same time, and they work perfectly (and all showed a noticeable joule increase).

     

    Regarding your BB curve the inner barrel may have just twisted slightly or maybe the nub (if you're not using a solid metal one that sits perfectly in the Maxx hop unit).

    Hi mate, so longer nozzle? 

  2. Good evening all, I have ran into an issue, so last year, I upgraded to a maxx hop unit on my AEG, along with maple leaf bucking, occasionally as of late, it dry fires despite the mag being full. 

     

    FAST forward to now, I've upgraded the engine to a polarstar kythera, the nozzle the same length and fits in the shell as it should. 

     

    It still does it, even after the upgrade. Shining a light through the mag area, I can look down the barrel and see a small amount of light. My FPS has also tanked from 320/350 to 250 pre HPA.

     

    As a side note, my shots also curve severely to the right since I last played, so could the issue be in the barrel/bucking?

     

    I have ordered a tight bore barrel and the next rating of bucking to fit Thursday.

     

    What could it be, has anyone ever had this before?

    The Maxx hop unit has been known to do this. Best to go back to the original hop unit or one that can cope with wiser tolerances (IE a plastic one). Everything has to fit and be perfect for the Maxx hop to work. 

    I have ordered the next bucking for the power of the gun, also ordered tight bore barrel, everything worked perfectly, then the gun Sat unused for like 8 months, could the bucking have gone or anything?

    Also noticed that since last playing 8 months ago, the shots curve right when they come out, could the barrel have gone or changed shape a little and not sealing properly?

    Yet now you are saying it was a bank transfer?

    I didn’t stipulate it was or wasn’t, I said it was a private seller. I don’t get the point you’re trying to make?

  6. Good morning all, I need some advice, I am currently running a Max Hopp Unit, with maple leaf bucking in my M4. I have ordered the kit to HPA it this weekend. However, whilst apart, I thought it would be best to change barrel, now with the intention of it being a dmr, what length inner and outer barrel will I need please? If anyone can offer any advice, that would be great!

     

    PS I am aware that barre length makes very little difference, but I would like it for aesthetic purposes

    OK, good luck with that, it's quite unusual for a bank to get involved with a private sale, especially something of such low value.

    But keep us informed,  really hope it works out, maybe they're taking a different stance.

    Out of interest,  what bank is it ?

    Lloyds, I made sure I said private seller and bank transfer. She said it doesn't matter who or what it is etc, we will dispute it

    Surely in order to dispute the payment with the seller, the option for him to refund is reliant on you being able to return the faulty goods, something you cannot now do.

    You may have shot yourself in the foot ?

    So, in short, no, they will dispute that payment as the goods were mis sold, I asked them in regards to it, they will dispute it with his bank for me as the goods were faulty and the buyer accepts no returns, etc.

    Hope you get it sorted. Keep us updated. 

    So, managed to sell the gun for just under half of what I paid for it, spoke to bank, they have said call us back 15 days from transaction if you have had no reply, we can then dispute the payment!

    @Jmason98 That's shit isn't it :(

     

    If it turns out you're stuck with it then Negative Airsoft has a very long CYMA MP5K video on his Patreon channel that shown pretty much a complete disassembly and rebuild, so really useful for the v3 gearbox MP5K's

     

    (I've finally bought a GATE Titan v3 so started to work on my "boneyard" CYMA MP5K at the weekend that I bough almost a year ago, but I'm a bit stuck as the ball bearing cage on the spring guide is knackered so waiting for AK2M4 to open his web shop again to get one)

    So is a V3 gearbox all I need late? To get this running again?

    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!

    Tempted to try and speak to my bank about it, see if they can do anything as it's not fair, it was advertised as working, then it wouldn't feed when tested, he then started ignoring me, claimed he was busy blah blah blah, said he will "pass me some money Thursday" made me quite sad tbh, was looking forward to using it.

    Also, where was it purchased,  on here ?, if not, where ?

    No mate, airsoft hun unfortunately, he seemed sound as well which was the sad thing

    MP5K? It has to be V3 not V2. Regular sized MP5's use V2 gearboxes.

    I thought they were V2 mate?

    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

    Cheers mate, but they don't ship to the UK which is the annoying thing

  13. Evening all, I purchased what was meant to be a working JG MP5K, only to find the guy had lied and the piston wasn't moving, looking further, the gearbox has cracked and it has broken in its entirety, the piston has also broken, I am looking at just buying a new gear box, and slotting it straight in, any ideas as to where I can find one, it's a V2 box... Thanks in advance
