Welcome back! Good that everything was working well when you got it out, as I know that not everyone is that lucky, especially reading some of these other posts... 😂

Cheers. I will take the TM scar H and at least check those springs!

[Returning player after two years away]

Hi all. After a crappy two years of stressful life getting in the way, I'm coming back to airsofting in 2025 and also to these forums. I took out my stuff and gave it a good once over. Nice to see everything is working nicely. Really looking forward to 2025!

In my opinion I have to agree with @SBoardley. TM ngrs hop unit is perfect and works flawlessly, I had my ngrs for last 3 and a half years and only things hopup wise i changed were, hop nub, hop bucking and inner barrel. At the moment I am using maple leaf nub, maple leaf super macaron 60 bucking and ZCI 6.02 steel tight bore and results are amazing. I can easily hop anything i put into it and range is around 50 to 60 metres with 300mm tight bore barrel.

After much more research, I will stay with the unit, but will try the maple leaf super macaron bucking.

My personal opinion is firstly having a bright green blob of plastic in the ejection port is a no no. Secondly, tm hop chambers are perfectly fit for purpose; if it ain’t broke….

Also fyi, it doesn’t mention scar compatibility..

Correct link now. Also the original rubber is worn, otherwise I’d leave it!

[A change of hop for NGRS]

Hi all. I am going to replace the hop up for my TM NGRS scar h.  I have started to service my AEG and I was going to buy the Laylax purple hop rubber with nub. I am a techy, so have no problem doing it, but I noticed this, which looks interesting.anyone used this.  Anyone had hands on with this?

What are your thoughts?

[Issues with 416D NGRS Bolt Stop with GATE Titan and Aftermarket Bolt Catch]

Has the gearbox been checked? Is there some grease or something obstructing the light sensor? Also someone might of damaged the light sensor in the gearbox. 
 

Are all the mechanical parts for the bolt catch working, no worn parts etc?

[Cylinder Upgrade advice needed]

There are many good guides out there, this is one for example.  But best to ask us on these forums as we know best!

 

Thera er many videos on Youtube.  Get investigating!

[Hi capa Issues]

Doh!

[Imagine getting at two-tone Kar98!]

Just why…the madness!

[Hi capa Issues]

Open up the gearbox, sounds like the tappet spring is broken or not strong enough to return the tappet plate. Clean the inside shells of the gearbox too.

 

Was it working before this hop unit was installed?

[How many chances would you give a tech?]

When I do techy work for players, once the issue is fixed, I would check it a dozen times and also ensure that the user “customer” is happy with the work.  I don’t do it as I enjoy it and I like to help others. This reputation spreads, which is important to me.

 

That person got really bad service.

Take it apart, clean, inspect, then try again.

Thanks lads. @SneakyI think I'll take it to Graham and Beaker, they may have bits knocking about that could fit it.

Yeah @Skullchewerthat’s a good shout. If you do not have any parts, maybe do a steam punk look for it?

Marushin or Chinese clone mossberg 500. Its gas. The valve is in the space where the shell loader would be and bbs are loaded into the mag tube via the end cap if I remember correctly. Parts will be almost impossible to come by and they leak like a sieve.

That’s a lovely find! I think @BigStew is correct. Looks like the handle has had the stock sawn off from the angle of the grip.

[Importing from HK and Preferred Manufacturers]

Also, understand where all thes parts come from, but I am a big fan of supporting the UK businesses here and to ensure that they keep going.

It was better times

A very good exchange rate.

 

I wouldn’t either bother now.

[Low FPS on recent project]

Harsh truth is that you can keep shovelling money into it or you can give it to an airsoft tech who understands the details of how things work and will fix it for you.

Very true. Something to bear in mind - having the correct cylinder is right, but also attention needs to be made to the quality of the piston head rubber. This tends to be forgotten. 
 

Learn from what you have found out so far, but when it comes to upgrades, like is more and bit at a time.

[Low FPS on recent project]

As above. Have you tried installing some of the original parts, bit at a time? Process of elimination, takes time but worth it. 

[FPS/Joule Drop When Hop is Set]

I would recommend an R-hop for a DMR build, works well and is very consistent. Does the air nozzle has an internal o ring?

There should not be that much of an fps reduction with hop on, if you are having a 75 fps drop.

whee is the best place you would say to buy all these parts / AEG uogrades? thanks

@ak2m4 would be the place to start off with.

Looks like a great place for airsofting pizzas! Eat and run! Or eat and shoot!

One way is the use of red loctite. Another is to try a snugger fitting pinion, for instance Siegetek make different sized ones e.g. 

https://www.brillarmory.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_55_68&products_id=526&zenid=d1e4d2828303acd2f294dff4d286d2e1

Change the motor if the issue persists after doing the above first.

[better air seal = lower FPS ???]

Try all the above. Also remove the rubber o ring from the standard piston head and replace the ZCI o ring. See what happens there. 
 

There should not be much friction, any spring is designed to take into account of any minor friction.
