really crappy pic of my CM16 cylinder and one with measurements:- Edit :- i dont it keeps discussions alive

never had any issues with mine at all ... i will admit that my MK23 socom (nbb gas pistol) out ranges it. but you slap a 99rd mag in the CYMA CM030 ... its great fun watching people think its maybe a gas gun and after 30-40 rds they charge you ... oooh wait you have plenty of rds left

Thanks for the offer mate i am doing my upgrade "sequentially" (well thats what my mind thinks), i am sticking with the standard 18:1 gears, and a 7.4v lipo at first. then as i get board i can go down the 13:1 gears, swiss cheese piston, delay chips and 11.1v lipo etc etc. That lonex a1 motor is a bit of a beast, i have the A2, as i didn't want to send my gun back to the future the rate the A1 spins at

No probs mate, all posts are good in my eyes as for the shimming i use this guide i found http://www.actionsportgames.com/files/asg/products/manuals/16947_Shimmin.pdf i know it seems alot of faffing around , but the results are worth it lol That may have been an MP5K box, iirc thats what my old one looked like

already have new seals and nozzles on there way. AOE looks really good TBH, and there is only very minimal wear on the piston teeth. bushings - its getting a full set of SHS all steel bushings, as it just seems a waste to do 1 or 2 ... and the remaining may fail, so best to do all in my mind have shims and some rather nice guarder Teflon grease for the gears, my personnel fave if i am honest, and some silicone grease for the piston etc. to be honest, i am not going to spend any money going down the shortening barrel route (though a mate from my site said i could have the barrel bits of his old standard raider) as for the wiring, i dont think that the fet signal will be as much of an issue as locating the fet will be, as its a lot tighter then i thought, i may put it in the buffer tube and abandon my idea of eventually swapping the stock over .... ill have a think on it its the mid size barrel if i get it, though i did notice that the cylinder was quit heavily ported, i would go so far as saying that the porting is over halfway down the cylinder (ill take some pics)

iphone ... quality pictures

so a little history first, i bought my CM16 2 years ago now, and its been a bloody good gun! it has never let me down. Above is the pic i took when i first bought the gun, below is how its been for the last year and abit (yes before anyone asks i did get my UKARA and do away with the green paint). 2 years on and out of warranty, i figured "i am going to hell ... whats another sin" so time for some modding!! before i began down this path i did a lot of thinking and tried to put together a plan of action of the 2 things that i wanted to achieve and my reasons. 1) improve trigger response - i play a lot of CQB and a quick trigger response is always nice To do this i have replaced the motor for a lonex a2 which i had laying around, massive improvement!! i have, but have not yet fitted a pico AAB mosfet, a speed adjustable trigger, 16awg wire and deans 2) shorten the barrel - Moving in a tight environment, while is not impossible, it is more difficult with a long gun. i actually contacted G&G and priced up a fire hawk top end ... for £30 - £40 more than there quote i could have bought a new gun!! - so i am not doing this So One i had got all the bits i figured i need, i began the strip down ... and ran into my first problem As you can see the bearing is dead ... opening it upon reviealed some more bad news Yeap that bearing is dead ... and the bevel bearing too, from my experience its normally the spur bearings that go first In any case i suspect the issue was caused because all/most of the grease has gone hard/crusty ... which is not good! Other then the bearings everything else looks ok, the gears look fine, the trigger contacts have minimal wear etc etc The piston has minimal wear, same goes for the piston head ... the spring needs a bearing guide .... and i may chuck that guarder sp100 spring i have laying around at it. (To be continued)

so much for my "i am not spending any more on airsoft this month" plan cobra MT645 PMR radio headset for the above 2x ASG MK23 socom pistol mags 2x TM desert eagle mags 4x osprey pistol pouches

I have bought a fare few batteries from them, never had any issues. Sometimes there postage can be a bit expensive (£10 from Netherlands), so try and get from the UK warehouse if they stock the item, otherwise factor this in. Top Tip :- when you have found the item you want, don't just order it, leave the page open for a min or so and a box will pop up offering you the item slightly cheaper but it will only do this once (or so it says)

First time i went to under arm throw my Ohshiboom, it should have only been a short throw, 6ft or so ..... insted i completely totally and utterly failed. for some reason i still cannont explane, i just couldnt let it go and ended up throwing it straight up .... ohh the shame

you are indeed correct, they are loads cheaper, only issue is that seller is based in Hong Kong, it may take a week or so to arrive.

4x Turnigy nano-tech 1200mAh 2S 25-50C Lipo AIRSOFT hopefully these will be small enough to fit down my buffer tube (also ignore the mini tamya connector ... it will change )

If your doing a rewire of your gun, don't be fooled by those sellers selling motor connectors for over a £5 for 2!!! check out ebay item number 150787567724 (you will of course have to supply your own red/black heat shrink tube), but with this item you get 10 gold plated (better conductivity) connectors, that fit perfectly for £2.99 if you need the opposite end ebay item 140913669902 will sort ya

last few bit :- 1x 12g recharageable co2 cylinder SPEED Airsoft tuneable blade trigger for M4/M16 - Silver HSA R-Hop Z-kit

wooohooo got paid Gate PicoAAB Mosfet 10x mini spade connectors gold plated (bargain £2.99 if they fit airsoft motor's) wooden apache model . . and a mini G3a3 for giggles

i hate to be the bear'er of bad news, if its the madbull DD rail they are £80 iirc, then you would need the ICS fitting kit £20 - £30 on top so over the £100 mark for the front rail. its not a bad deal when you include the sight (and dependent upon any upgrades/extra's etc) and (like you said) if its in good nick

in this land of Hi-Vis this and that ... sometimes it blends itself into the background

seems i clicked post while mid typing in all honesty, just go with what you think works. i remember playing one day, and on the enemy team, one guy had a bright orange gun ... and he was the most sneaky/hard to spot

read this thread ... all i could think off was this >>> https://youtu.be/1wm72oqsYqA

car break disks £100 car brake pads £35 car exhaust £170 . . . . . airsoft - MTP issue trousers £30

wow they never had them in stock long ... then again they did only get 5 in and i took 2. when i originally contacted them, they got them within a week iirc.
