It still has the stock rubber, hop unit and chamber, it also has an upgraded recoil spring, I've toyed with the idea that a weaker spring could allow it to cycle fully, it seems to be sticking just before it reaches the point where it resets the hammer and knocker valve... I'll be having another look at it on Friday so I'll try the original bolt, thanks for the advice. Ah.. sucks that the short stroke kit wasn't compatible for it... it really does affect the cycle rate, I mostly use single fire so it's a nice thing to have that trigger reset rapid for the next shot. For the reciever I was hoping to take some metal off the barrel nut where it meets the barrel to hold it in place, doing it without a mill would by tricky to prevent un-even cuts.

Love it or hate it, I've decided to plunge into the deep end and build of building a rifle out of an AAP-01 after being away from airsoft for about 5 years... It's still work in progress with some tuning required but one consultant issue I am having with it is that on full auto the bolt binds half way, doesn't rack back and if I push it forward into battery, it vents the mag, this tels me it's not cycling back enough for the hammer knocker to reset. It's not limited to full auto though, if on single and I hold the trigger, I can feel the difference in how much it's binding when I rack it back slowly and it won't go fully back to battery without assistance, if I rack it normally and let the recoil spring take over then it sometimes seats fully but not always, with the limited internal upgrades at this time I know it's restricted to either the bolt, short stroke kit or the trigger (I'm leaning to the trigger)... Anyone come across this issue before? I would like to rectify it before doing any other internal upgrades to prevent any unnecessary wear or strain on components. Installed internally at the moment is as follows (there will be more in due time before she is ready for a game) Carbine kit W/TDC hop Cow cow light weight bolt Cow Cow short stroke kit (1 buffer added) Charging handle w/ fire select waiting to be installed: 270mm maple lead crazy jet barrel Crazy jet 60° autobot rubber Annoyingly yes... the rail doesn't sit flush with the upper, this is due to the barrel nut not going in far enough, just trying to figure out a solution to this without too much metal work lol
