Lonex M100 spring (for l85 ) element LLM01

when i had my old TM mp5k bearing'ed (crappy 6mm gearbox tbh), it was the loaded side if the spur gear which failed. i am now running olite bearings/bushings in it now.

bugger just ordered an element llm01, gunna see how that looks (probably just fit it to my l85 when i daniel defense rail it)

Well on sunday i got a lonex m100 spring, just fitted it and out of 20 shots, the lowest is 289fps , average is 310-325fps , and i had 2 at 404fps That's with zero hop dialed in, think i need to stick a couple of mags through it to bed everything in

dont forget G&G bb's, there supposed to be good, and the little bag of them i got with my guns ... i had no issues what so ever ... but i have not seen them for sale in many places ... and i buy blasters by the box load

forgive me for saying, but you sound really new to airsoft, if so i cannot believe no one has mention this yet, have a look here >>> http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ great thread, loads of advice etc if you not new, my bad

+1 to blasters in the 0.25 variety ... never had a jam from them, and they seem really accurate and consistent to me. other brands used, zero one (2 jams in 1 bag), and some really cheap ones i got off ebay (not used on my main gun, mainly my mp5k and a claymore. 1 jam out of 2 bags used so far)

i never saw that option that said i emailed them straight away ....

They Lied! When i placed the order there was NO comment box what so ever! so i emailed them straight away :- No reply ..... This morning at 08:30 i got :- then at 10:30 i got :- at exactly the same time i received another email :- really disappointed by this!

order placed ....

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SP85 spring arrived ... fitted ..... 222fps on 0.25's WTF!!! the only think i can assume is that the spring i thought was a SP100 isnt

so todays stuff:- another ris raiser ... i will get this scope to sit right on my l85 guarder SP85 spring .... i will get this dam l85 under 350fps!!! think i am starting to notice a trend in my spending

just too add, i asked :- they answered:- so it looks like free spring fitting is still on the go ... gunna place my order today

sorry to de-rail abit ... anyone have a recommendation of a pistol torch? my MK23 really wants a LAM unit but my wallet says NO!

dont just limit your self to a red dot how about a 551 (or 552) holographic sight ?? (i have one of these on my MP5K) on my cm16 i have a 4x32 scope, with red/greed/blue cross hairs (think it was about £50 from china) works really well

dose it make me odd if i like this?

really, that's not what parcel force implied to me in my long running email winge at them , they informed me if i cleared the customs charges myself it would then be released to them for delivery this is a extract of that email :-

Hello and welcome thats one hell of a pistol and its the first time i have heard of a airsoft targeting pistol. ill let some of the more experience here suggest a extreme accuracy pistol if thats all you want that said i would expect most guns to be accurate at 25ft (thats 8metres i think) maybe not 2" accurate mind

don't forget to add "customs to be cleared by addressee" (or something like that) somewhere on the package near the customs form. that way you can pay customs directly, and avoid the royalmail/parcelforce rip off "clearance fee"

either choice would make a good starter gun i would go with the shorter one, as if you do CQB, its easier to move with (not that its a huge big issue having a longer gun, just makes it abit more tricky) that said, go with what you think looks best, pop down and try them out for size etc

i stand corrected, though most mags i have seen have been closer to the £30 mark, but in my defense i have not been following prices, and looking at TM prices ... the ASG mags aint that bad damit he's found me .... back into hiding .... just kidding to be honest i have had a few health woe's (i have only played twice so far this year), but i think i am back on track gas is over rated, elastic-trickery ... that's the way forward , serious now, i am in no way putting my cyma G18c AEP away, or allowing it to take a back seat, its a work horse ultra reliable and lots of fun. This pistol is a cheap project

i like p90's ........ though the magpul i dislike

At the time of writing this i have only done some back garden plinking with this gun, but i will update this when i have chance to skirmish it with more details ... and some pics. So i have done what i said (in my CYMA g18c AEP review) i wouldn't do and i have bough myself a gas pistol, but not any gas pistol, as there is method in my particular brand of madness, let me enlighten you let me start of with a quick pro/cons Pro's 1) its cheap, they can be had for around £60 mark 2) mags are cheap (£21 at firesupport atm) even the TM MK23 guys love them! 3) No blow back which should mean a steadier aim and (in theory) more gas efficient 4) looks good, and is quite imtimidating (more details in cons) 5) has a adjustable hop, thought it says its fixed on the box and the manual wont tell you how to get to it Con's 1) Its plastic not that well made (a small part broke off mine, not that anyone will see mind) 2) Its HUGE!!! i cannot stress how much bigger it is (with out the silencer) than say a glock, you need big hands for this gun! 3) no trades (not really an issue for me, some people like them though) 4) no blow back 5) it uses gas (sorry i detest this as gas aint that cheap, and in my view gas guns are a step back in time as pre TM famas, all airsoft was gas/compressed air) in the box you get, the gun/silencer/mag/manual and some bb's. The manual is well not that good in my view. So its cheap, but is this a bad thing? if i was to break it or loose it, i could in theory get 2 for the price of most other pistols FPS, i get 311fps on 0.25's (thats just below 350 on 0.2's), yet with the silencer on i get 358fps on 0.25's (thats just a smidge below 400 with 0.2's), please note the silencer is actually a barrel extension. as to my madness, in theory being none blow back, it should be very gas efficient, and from my arm chair tests, i can get 80 continual shots off before the mag is out of gas (which is wayyy more than my WE dragon at 29 shots). Also its very light with out the mag in. Hop - this is adjustable, but the manual wont tell you how, as to be honest its in a right bugger of a place. to get to it you have to pull the slide back 10 - 15mm untill the slide lock aligns with a small cut out in the slide, then pop the slide lock out and remove the top slide. no on the under side of the slide you can see the hop adjuster. A little note on the slide lock, its not actually a slide lock, its the hammer forward (home) safety catch, the rear safety catch is for when the hammer is cocked. Its HUGE, really i cannot stress how big this pistol is, if you have large or smaller hands this aint the gun for you. And its LONG, longer then a test match series! (with the silencer fitted). Holsters can be an issue and or problematic. Other items of note - You don't have to cock it to make the pistol ready to fire, simply insert mag ... blast away, similarly when unloading drop the mag out, and its done . cocking the gun only really cocks the hammer back. One issue is when the mag is empty of bb's, unless you watch for bb's you will be doing nothing but shooting gas (though there is a tone change in the gas blast when you are empty) It has a RIS mounting point ... so you can mount something it has a lanyard strap so what am i gunna do with it .......... i have a cunning plan nice MK23 appraisal http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/20481-who-makes-the-best-mk23-socom-pistol/ Update 7/11/2014 (sorry about the huge pics .. and i know there not brilliant) so as some of you have read i had an issue with over hopping (not tested results yet). So i have taken a few pic's showing how to get to the hop adjuster and how to adjust it (if your gun is like mine) first things first .. removing the slide as you look at the side of the gun with the "slide release" facing upwards, note the cut out on the slide. pulling the slide back abit, align the slide release pin with the cut out turning the gun over push the slide release pin with the pin removed your gun will now look something like above ease the slide forward so it now looks like the above lift the top of the slide like above, and genteelly pull the slide forward now you can see and set the hop adjust If life me yours is over hopping, to get to the hop arm, you need to :- carefully push the barrel/chamber assembly slightly forward, then angle it down, before finally extracting it then looking at the hop wheel, you need to remove the chamber dust cover genteelly lift the bottom of the dust cover so, the locating pegs are clear, then repeat on the other side remove the cover looking at the top of the barrel/chamber assembly, you can see the hop arm. Ensuring that hop is wound fully off, if needed very very genteelly lift the arm upwards to remove excessive hop, keep looking down the barrel to check how the hop rubber looks. This is how mine now looks with hop off, bear in mind that you don't get loads of hop adjustment, so go easy with it. note reassembly is the reverse of disassembley, be aware that some parts need a wiggle to get in position etc special note to replacing the barrel assemble back in the slide (aligning the spring and recoil rod is tricky), also realigning the slide back on the body can be tricky. Take your time! edit 08/12/14:- One thing that was bugging me was, i wanted to use the silencer ... but not shoot at 400FPS!, after abit of google'fu i was running out of idea's as the standard silencer/barrel-extension isn't 14mm, when i accidentally found out that it has a 16mm cw thread ... then after some more google'fu i stumbled upon a "Hephaestus Kriss Vector Silencer Adapter 16mm CW to 14mm CCW" , From milspec solutions. Result - now i have a even silenter MK23 lol Edit 13/12/14:- i have also aquired a "1 x Nine Ball Under Mount Base For Marui MK23 Fixed Slide (Ver.2)" from Airsoftglobal.com £46.30 so combining that with my llm01 ... i get think i need a smaller torch lol

yep i did mean ASG ill do an unboxing review and expand it when i skirmish it
