You caan just about see the hoip arm in this photo, and it's like its got an omega nub as part of the hop arm. I've checked the hop with the barrel in, and when I turn the hop up I can see the rubber pushing down into the hop chamber beautifully.

My issue is, when I try to hop .28s it's like the hop goes from not quite enouigh to too much with very little movement, and the bbs jam or just splutter out of the barrel. .25s I can get 40m, 50 if I counter the drop.

Not with the mutant. The stock tune screws into the body for you to put the battery in and get to the quick change spring. 

.25 at least, tempted to go up to .28 or .30.
FPS not a clue, the rifle is still in bits waiting in a full rewire and a new motor. Hoping to have it just under 350, but if it's over I've just limit it to semi and use it as a dmr, so I'll be uping the weight if I do.

I'm thinking more gunmetal than bare metal, just need to decide on the exact colour. I'll probably be using Halfords rattle cans, and they're all specific car colours.
Nissan gunmetal sounds good though.

I'm using an acetech brighter C, and the tracer rounds are bright even in daylight, they'll see me if they want to or not 🤣

So I've been stripping the handguard on my Ares mutant ready for a fresh coat of matte black as it was badly scratched, and decided to see what it looked like as bare metal.
 
I kind of like it. I'm thinking I might spray it up in gunmetal, and do the buffer tube too. What does everyone think?

Problem solved.
 
I'd forgotten that at some point my trigger trolly had broken and I had to shave down a couple of bits to make it sit level. This meant that the trolly didn't sit right for the col to push it up enough to cut off properly. I just glued a thin piece of plastic to the trolly where the col should hit it, and problem solved.

It's just another m4, but I like this one more than my cm16. Unfortunately due to covid I have no current Ukara, but luckily the two tone blue actually looks pretty good with the black XD

My first ever 100% new rif.

Yeah, my shimming was perfect.......to the gearbox and other gears. Pinion to bevel shimming was awful. I've since re shimmed and she sounds a little better now, though still  a little loud. I'll be posting a video in a separate thread today.

I shouldn't need it. I still have the original, and according to the paper test I have perfectly fine air seal between my nozzle and bucking.

So, I've installed my gears, shimmed them, adjusted motor height and tested the whole thing without the piston and cylinder.
It sounds horrible.
I open her up, and this is what the bevel gear looks like. Is this shimmed too close to the motor? Motor height too high or low?
Please don't tell me I've ruined it and need to buy another set of gears.
 

Lots of good reviews I suppose?
 
I'm going for an s hop anyway as I couldn't find any silicone tubing in the right size. However, I have got some 6mm outer diameter tubing and ordered some sugru.

It's in a king arms sig 556.

Already got a gate Nano aab mosfet fitted. I'm not too bad with a soldering iron either. 
So, an 18:1 gearset and a 110 spring (I'm currently running a guarder sp100 at around 315 on 0.2s) with two teeth off the sector gear should do the trick with 11.1s?

Slowly getting ready to airsoft in the new year!

Also the mags only stay in if I give them a slap, so I'm guessing I need to find some better ones, probably proper g&g hi caps

g&g CM16 is about £120 on zeroone. AND they have a free two tone service.

Great intro gun, and is apparently up to mid level (Only just got mine, love it though).

Beat me to the punch.
