  1. I really doubt your old JG M4 is shooting 420-450fps. Get it chronograph properly or you have no starting point. Maybe borrow from a friend or take it to the site you're intending to visit and have a backup rental ready?

     

    I mean the easiest way is to change your spring. It'll only cost you a tenner but it will require you opening up the gearbox (though all solutions bar widening the barrel need that).

  2. There's almost nothing you can buy on Evike that you can't buy from continental Europe or Asia - It's cheaper to look east for purchases the majority of the time. USPS have a bad reputation for things of great expense never arriving in the UK when they come from across the Atlantic. I frankly trust EMS and others more than I do them.

     

    Unless you want some of those knock-off PDI designs that Angel Custom make do some deeper Googling. Evike have good SEO and pop up frequently at the top, but that absolutely doesn't mean they're the cheapest or have the biggest range. UNCompany and DENTrinityshop are great examples of sites that never come up in search results but stock things almost no other retailer does. Same goes for European websites - most aren't natively in English so Google doesn't show them nearly as high as American websites, so you need to be savvy and get onto the 7th and 8th pages quite often to find the good stuff.

     

    Also using Google advanced search tools, looking up product IDs and part numbers (rather than what you think the name is). It's all experience, but I can assure you that buying from the US is almost always a dumb idea (especially when they're producing close to 0 of this stuff themselves anyway).

  3. Most sites are 450 or 500.

     

    I suggest you do your own research first on how to upgrade because no, it's not as simple as that and I'm not inclined to explain it all here when it's so well explained on these forums and others.

     

    I echo what Hef says about a VSR clone though: Look into the JG BAR if you can't afford the TM VSR.

  4. Fixing it is really, really easy. If you need any help or pictures then PM me but here's what you do:

    • Knock out two small pins at top of the magazine
    • Remove remnants of broken feed lips
    • Remove rubber gasket/'gas router'
    • Put rubber gasket into new feed lips
    • Put new feed lips onto the top of the magazine
    • Apply downward pressure on new feed lips
    • Knock two small pins back into place carefully

    It takes 3 minutes.

     

    Rainbow8 probably sell spares. Failing that (or if you need them in a hurry) try Eagle6.
