Sadly I'm all out of gearbox shells. I've not come across the SA complete gearboxes before so not sure it will work in a Lancer or even what the quality is like. No matter what after-market shell you use there's always a chance of some incompatibility. Even 1mm of difference can mean the difference between feeding and not feeding, always good to keep in mind. The Lancer is defaintely fixable but will take a bit of time and money, maybe worth putting that towards a new aeg and then tinkering around with the Lancer, get yourself an E&C shell from a HK store (around £30), slowly work on it.

never used it myself but I like the concept. I think it's something that Royal Mail could do in the near future when GPS gets down to 1m per square. So with when scanning a packet before posting could be used to double check the address with the location, could cut down the amount of post put through wrong doors etc.

welcome to the sport. makes me happy to see younger and older getting involved. health is so important, desk job will kill ya if not careful. IT and doughnuts nearly ended me! So many of us here around similar age. Have fun....

They are lovely dog

My first brand new AEG was back in 2004, was a G&G LR300S, cost around £500 to get it shipped from Redwolf HK, broke on 1st game. I would have loved 14 outings in 6 months 🙂 In all seriousness QC has got better but not to the point where I'd personally trust one not to develop a fault within the 1st 6 month - just so much to go wrong. That's just my own personal view, as @Rogerborg states there's nothing stopping you asking your payment processor to initiate a chargeback.

As others have said 6 months have passed so you'd have to prove that the fault was there originally, i.e never been skirmished. What company did you buy it from? What battery were you using?

Looks like that's either a mp5k or AK long nozzle ? Grab yourself a M4 nozzle. Give it a measure first though, get yourself a set of digital calipers. Spring guide tilt is a pita when testing, this is why I love the e&c shells so much, they use 4 lugs and prevent this.

Should be roughly the same price if TW sold without the VAT or signed up for the vat prepayment. I imagine if they signed up for the prepayment scheme (I forget it's name) then they would skip handling charges?

@doom9 love the SMG 45, not sure about that stock though, love the RS wire-frame stock, however it's only £115, pretty good value.

@steverebo you're a superstar, thanks. Hopefully the chamber will work out well for you. I'm always over-cautious when it comes to anything related to feeding and hop chambers. It's just such a minefield sometimes. Let us know how you get on.

@steverebo always good to keep in mind that there's so many factors involved nothing is ever 100% guaranteed to fit or work straight away. Exactly the same with these ZCI plastic chambers. They are however cheap. If you purchased from me let me know, I've got some sample zci adjustable nozzles around somewhere, I'll drop one in for you for free 🙂 might help you diagnose any issues.

I wouldn't say nozzle length is directly linked to the hop chamber. It's more of a combination of many parts, tappet plate, gearbox shell, bucking, outer barrel etc.

@Fatboy40 The factory price for M906C is extremely low, they would never fit a spring with decent quality material sadly. Try removing the thrust bearing from the piston head, you should see the fps come down 15fps

You might be able to get a whole new end bell, I sell standard Chinese ones but ASG are slightly different. As an alternative a SHS HT Short is roughly the same rpm but I prefer the XT 22TPA, both will work well as a pretty decent replacement. Maybe try and solder / weld the tab back on? Or you can drill and tap the part where the spring goes and then fit one of those little screw connectors etc

Post a video up, if still in warranty return...

@RostokMcSpoons you've put it together already but check the air vents of the piston head, make sure they are clear. It's easy to over-lube and block resulting in the oring being able to push out.

@paradoxum damn that looks pretty gnarly 😞 Maybe one of those £30 tracer units or could you not fit a tiny battery in the handguard for the tracer?

Ecowire is pretty decent for the price, the main selling point is that it's 2mm OD and cheap. If you need a wire which is slightly more flexible together with silver plating then there's the transparent 16awg: https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/gearbox-transparent-wire-16awg-2-metres

Here's the video from the XT 22TPA earlier in the year, amps came to 12A in the test. Another test in the pipeline is measuring the heat build up, those XT motors come with a little plastic fan on top, just never enough time to round to all the cool little tests I'd like to do. Build Rocket 12:1 Gears / Full stroke Gearparts M110 spring Perun Basic Mosfet AOE corrected RPS 25 - 11.1 25C Amp 12A (full auto)

Great little bits of kit, come in real handy for testing efficiency of the motors under different setups. I've also got a tach meter for measuring the RPM and a little heat sensor. Been running tests the past few weeks on the new 22TPA and 28TPA XT motors @Rogerborg Speaking to Jakub last week and he's still waiting on the chips to arrive for the Perun basic 😞

@RostokMcSpoons Can't really fault the Perun's, been selling them for around a year now and they've been solid. Perun also provide direct support so any problems they are on hand to help out.

Acceptable result for you anyway, bugs me as well eBay let they buyer get away with this, and as the cherry on top make you pay for the return shipping! There's currently no way you can give feedback so other eBay users can see what happened here. Only way you can do something is make a false positive feedback statement on his account, but he could then get that retracted as it goes against eBay policy. Ideal world eBay would allow sellers to see buyer history, return stats, cases etc, but of course that would mean lower profits for eBay. It's very one-sided. CEO sent out a huge email only last week to business sellers staying this is what we're doing for protection, some new changes, first email I've ever seen that went towards addressing the problem. Their forums are littered with similar sellers all complaining and threatening to leave.

I'm guessing his was a fake / copied game? Have a look at his feedback comments, any false positives ?

I was there as well on that day, ShadopOpz at Richborough. It was the most surreal thing ever. Stripper parts at the end 🙂

The Spaniard thought I've got his money and the gun back, viva el presidente! Only 2 weeks ago I had a similar thing from someone in the UK, supposed to send me something. 1. I have to work this week but will send it after. 2. I'm busy this week with my child, the wife will send it. 3. I have important family business abroad I will be back in 2 weeks time. 4. I'm back in the UK now but in hospital with COVID... In the end he admitted he couldn't find it and just sent me the money 🙂
