Spatch

Not many, if any sites allow over 450 fps on a DMR, out of the box. DMR are rare, my mate just bought the new HK G28 which is 424 fps out the box and shoots like a dream but you'll have to up your budget a bit to get one, with mags and the scopes you'll see no change from £1k

The original post states 'DMR conversion...20" barrel' and asking for 350fps on 0.25 means a DMR spec rifle, wording or not, if it's an aeg it hot end of story, tell me I'm reading it wrong in any way but that's what it says, PT is right, the way it was written says 'running hot' As for gaining range and accuracy, VFC hop units are pants but the 417 won't accept anything like a prowin without some machine work I'm trying to remember what unit I put in the last one I built for someone but can't at the moment

First question is why do you want to keep it below 350 on 0.25? Most site limits on DMR are 425fps and 350 on 0.25 will be well below that, if it's a vfc then you bee looking correcting the AOE for certain and a shim job as the last vfc 427 I had apart was awful on both

I concur with Dave, I've built and shot many many pistols, both upgraded and stock, there is very little difference, if any in normal hands, unless you know how to shoot at competition level then skirmishing a stock pistol is more than adequate, hop rubber makes a slight difference to consistency

I generally use sticky Velcro but have used those 'command stick strip' things that can easily be removed and replaced when you need to

TM P226 rail, yes the really old one, with 3 mags although one is knackered, hasn't been used in over a year, £150 plus post!!! Just popped up on one of the FB. Pages I have pointed out that a new P226 with a spare brand new mag is under his asking price........

Cheers dude, I do hope so, bought blind but since selling my G5 and now travelling around the UK trying various cqb sites I need some gas back in my life

KWA MP9R

Standard barrel length in the umps from memory is around 200-205mm so you've almost doubled the length, this as her has said could be some of this issue vs the cylinder volume, I would also suspect the massive under hop is something to do with the hop rubber, either a small rip/damage or you've mis aligned it when reinstalling it so it's not operating correctly and applying no spin

Latest update on my RM4 ERG, pts ergo-z float 7" rail, machined up a new spec ops style suppressor to cover the exposed barrel, genuine surefire flashlight and knights flip front sight (waiting on the rear arriving from base) got to tidy the wiring but when the new pts battery vert grips arrive in the country I shall put the genuine peq back on and lose the battery box

What you need to do is try a few different ones on it as there will be optics that look good but the you personally won't get on with, looks are nothing if it doesn't work for you

My bad, knew it was one or the other

The TM mp7 is actually under size compared to the real steel, the KWA version is actually 1:1 scale

It depends on the level of milsim you will be going for, a lot of the very serious milsim events have a slightly higher fps level than the norm and the players tend to be far more serious in kit/weapon choice many of the guys are using either systemas or tweaked GBBR rifles, milsim is very much about the realism and it can also still be quite elitist so HPA is a bit frowned upon, mag capacity never allows hi caps and some will require real caps over even mid caps I really wouldn't worry about mags between players, carry what you're allowed and use what you have rather than depending on what could happen, I've played a few milsims and have gone for many hours not even making enemy contact and have also done 36hours and only used 2 mid caps during the entire time

Why would you want a polar star engine in a DMR anyway? A correctly built aeg gearbox is more than sufficient and will maintain its fps if done properly, the only reason for a polar star is that you're gonna spam the shit out of it, kind of negating the designated marksman rifle aspect of it

Won't be using that at the gaol though sgt, we're coming back for another game on the 7th so may see you there

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, why would you even try to bullshit on forums nowadays? Go back to playing cod sunshine and learn from this

Don't bother with the asg one, the hop unit is proprietory and frankly a pile of crap, I got hold of one of these in a trades and it was awful, save your money and pick up a G&P support gun, even a decent used one will be better than what you're looking at, you'll be very disappointed spending hard earned money on it

TM socom mags are not designed to come apart at the base, HOWEVER, it can be done and it's the square ring around the base plate that will be leaking, you need a correct sized drill bit, pillar drill, OCD and some replacement pins for re assembly, I have done a few now and most efforts I have tried to rectify from other people doing them and it not working have been in vain as the knacker the mag itself doing it

There are basically no real weak points on tm pistols if they are run as intended, doesn't have to be 144a gas but running propane will destroy it, dry all the mag seals, I've happily run all my tm pistols on abbey predator with no Ill effects How long will it last? How long is a piece of string? As with all gas weapons, use will wear items, things will need replacing from time to time, my hi capa is 3 years old, gets used pretty much every game day at some point and other than a couple of hop rubbers has had no new parts at all

If you want a metal slide pistol then buy a metal slide pistol, don't run a tm pistol on propane, it does them no good, they're not designed for it, don't put a metal slide on a tm pistol, it will ruin it, I have done it twice and regretted both, you will gain no improvement doing either other than taking the best 'out of the box' pistol and making it lees good than it was when you bought it

CAG is one of my fairly regular sites, wasn't at the last couple of games but sure I'll run into you, just shout if you find us and need anything mate
