sure dose, though what is up with the current piston? the removed teeth are to correct for AOE

like this

yeah that is a piston spacer. looks like your has been upgraded to AEG spec ... this is a good thing mine is 2 piece, the black and metal separate

interesting regarding the lack of spacer. This is the army gearbox i have (its a G&G clone)

welcome aboard and welcome to the dark side ... we have cake! if you could stretch you budget just a little bit more (around the £130 mark) you could get a new G&G CM16 raider. They are great guns, don't be tempted by the long ones, the short ones have the same range and are easier to move with etc other guns worthy of mention is the G&G firehawk, super short, just as accurate, and they make one hell of a noise! i have a raider L that is now a standard raider (too long for CQB in my view), and i have a firehawk

dose it have a piston head spacer? any chance of a pic of the box???

to be honest its all a matter of judgement and how you view/use your gun. a trigger could be considered a "consumable item" (i consider it a consumable item, much like break pads on a car), thus if you use your gun 100% of the time every weekend 20c is high'ish, yet if you only play/use your gun once a month, 20c is low. there is no boundary etc hope you understand what i mean

that depends upon the lipo, if it has a high C rating, then yeah..... if its low .... eventually it will wear your trigger out a fet will save your trigger

looks like a CYMA CM508 to me, about £63 + P&P from taiwangun

To the OP, i wouldn't bother, you can get a new G&G CM16 raider with mags for less. IMHO the tightbore is useless (i wont have tight bores in any of my guns as they dont do alot more then say +20fps in an aeg), and and so is the DD rail edit :- the FPS dose seem low, i am guessing the original owner has screwed something up and is now trying to pass the gun off

i would advise against getting the raider L, i have one (the basic CM16 raider L that is), and i have converted it to a standard raiders front end. The extra length can be a pain in the back side (especially in CQB etc). other than that, try them for size etc ... or just get the one you like best ​

SD you need to be very specific with the SR25, some are V2.5 (V2.5 being 19tooth, i believe/have read CA and A&K are) where as G&G SR25 is a (standard) V2 yeah i have a spare box (got it off ebay ), atm this spare box is not usable due to the army trigger contacts being pants (sorry to be brutally honest), when funds allow i will be replacing the trigger with a G&G unit (hurry up payday!!!) as others have said, its more then likely, too fast trigger response/expectation, and like you said a faster motor will help

to answer the OP, Yes and no. they are a very nice design, very robust, but there are a few niggles. The main niggles are down to 2 things :- 1)the fact that they share a lot of features with the TM PSG-1, they have the same pre-cocking function, they use the same pistons/springs etc etc. if this is not desired, this can be sorted with a conversion to normal AEG standard (it involves replacing the piston, spring, and sector gear with the addition of a spacer between the piston and piston head) 2)And the "blow back" ... basically the mechanical blow back merely rattles the fake bolt, it can and has been known to break, very easy to disable it though. 3)the triggers are known to burn out, this may in-part be due to point 1 That said its a good gun, and has one of G&G's great hops (par with TM imho) ill admit i have had a few issues with mine, but i bought mine 2nd hand (and it was in a bad way), and have restored it. FYI the army R85 is a clone of the G&G L85 as for the ICS, they too have a few niggles, best to have a look in the review section, AirsoftEd has done a great review there.

I Am playing it loving the destroyers ATM

I use silicone grease on nozzle/piston (plastics/rubbers) etc then lithium grease on gears and bushings etc

i know why it has no semi, and it may explain a few other oddities, its way round the patient that siegetek hold, so they can sell them in america, as siegetek hold the dual sector gear patient there. still that is quite shocking on the porting and the gear binding. and like you said where is the G26 pistol grip from the promotional pics? it really is a half arsed, cut corners, and bodged attempt at what could be and should be a great gun

will a KJW mag fit a WE M9 ... more specifically the Barry Burton edition

Arrrr no probs there then Dose it fire at all?

I should have said, is the motor connected up the right way round? To be honest you have to listen when setting the motor height, and I am no expert at it

Motor connected the right way round? Is the motor height set?

They are a gas hog, mine got slightly better the more I used it but a mate of mine is buying it off me on Friday

Yeah that should be more then enough, but only getting 20 - 21 rps is poor for a gun that "should" give 29rps still no semi ... i still cannot work out why they didn't include it ... unless its some mechanical reason

Just out of interest whats the "C" rating of your lipo mate? it could be that your battery isnt able to crank enough power out ... then again it might be you battery is ok, and its all just marketing hype seriously though, no semi .... that's bad .... kinda makes the gun seem pointless (from my perspective) i really wanted one as well

Yeah it was the mag, i tried one of my G&G mags and it was much better .... not 100% but good enough. it is odd with the FPS ... then again its shooting at the same FPS as my firehawk 270'ish on 0.25's
