If you're looking for experiences, then it might be a good shout to check out the Recommend a Tech threads Otherwise, I would say it depends on your gun, what you want from it, your budget and how long you wanna wait The more experienced/popular techs will no doubt have the longest waiting times and higher cost per hour charge. If it's for your ICS then Fire-support are the UK ICS specialists and tend to have all the little obscure parts for them - their site says "Labour fee is calculated on a job to job basis, but a service is approximately 30-40." I used them briefly when I bought my ICS Mp5 on release and had a motor issue. They were pretty quick, with fast/friendly comms and sorted the issue - no problems People will have their go-to techs for things like HPA, GBBR, Tokyo Marui as those particular places will have a name for doing (hopefully) great work with them You should look to get anything minor like general shimming, changing a hop, changing/upgrading a piston done whilst booked for a service to get better value for your money/time Shimming and the mere installation of parts like that are generally included in that pricing, just not the actual cost of the parts supplied by the tech, (as you'd expect) Most techs will allow you to provide parts yourself, but will not offer any guarentee on any parts they did not advise/supply So Service+Parts+Return Postage is usually the general "quote". -IF- they offer a flat charge for a Service, then average is usually between £30-50 - depending on what they deem is part of that service. some have different versions with different prices like "basic service" or "full service" If they don't offer a flat charge for a "Service", then yeah it's whatever their hourly rate is and how long it takes them

Best bet is probably an M90 spring AK2M4 is currently out of stock on any m90's I usually use these (select m90) https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/rocket-airsoft-aeg-spring-m90-m100-m110-m120-m130-m140-38644-p.asp Shipping is a bit of an oof though (£6.99) I generally get around the 300-320 mark with these, testing on .25g blaster devils, (dependant on*), so are generally a good shout, especially if you got anything in your gun boosting fps, e.g *Hop unit/rubber/barrel

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/25770-100rd-electric-pistol-mags-x2 - £55 posted?!? orrrr £10er each new from PB..

sometimes it do be like that good to hear you sorted it well done 💪

Can confirm. Last time i put a perun in an mp5 (cyma gearbox), i found the ICS stickers to be the key Mp5 are a little more finnicky with testing for the perun I would suggest assembling the gearbox in the lower, with only the trigger, sector gear and mosfet in the shell (as per Perun's own advice) > manual From there, connect the battery with the gun on safe and the mosfet should go into "debug/test" mode. Go through your fire selections. Flashing yellow means motor disconnected (which, yes, it should be for this part) white- safe blue - semi red - auto purple - trigger pull detected green - sector gear movement detected from there you should be able to tell if the sensor sticker is properly aligned if it is, then great, put all the other bits back in and fully reassemble

Since you've said in another post that this was a new purchase, from a retailer (patrolbase), and it shot 300 bbs before it fried - then I would send it back for repair/replacement (as stated by CrackCommandoUnit1972 Then: just use the gun until it needs upgrading Cyma plats tend to already have upgraded gearbox internals and motor, so you're good there. Otherwise, pretty much what Leo said Until the mosfet dies, wouldn't bother replacing Until the hop rubber shows signs of wear, (usually after a few thousand rounds), wouldn't bother replacing You could upgrade the barrel, but, if it's firing fine - leave it Mosfet wise, with the perun: You might have to modify the gearbox shell slightly for it to fit in properly mostly just means filing down/removing a "post" or sometimes the cut-off screw hole. If this is the case, then you'll need to clean out your gearbox shell afterwards and reapply any necessary greases - cracking open the gearbox voids warranty Start by contacting Patrolbase, tell them the problem with the gun, they'll either try diagnosing/fixing the issue remotely, or request you sent it them for repair Then, if the gun works, leave it be (so long as you havent opened anything, you can send the items you bought back for full refund, though maybe keep the silicon oil for general maintenance).

in my experience stock specnas will happily run about 260-280 fps with no issue, they wont be amazing, but they will run specna are one of those brands that can do nice externals, but their gearbox work leaves much to be desired would expect what little air seal it had, has now gone completely likely needs cracking open and servicing (although if you still have flyers, then it might just be hop-side related) i would also advise against using the ML omega nub with that rubber. their nubs are very hard, and can cause issues with feeding the gearparts(XT) omega style nub works better, as is softer than ML's (prob go with this one; XT Omega Nub Soft 70) I initially suspected it was merely issues with the ML omega nub, but you mentioned you swapped it back to stock and still having the problems. Service it yourself if you're confident to do so (swap out the ML omega nub), or drop it in to a tech ///

If it is indeed a gun with the ARES EFCS that's usually because it's not reading the magnet in the sector gear so it shuts down for "safety" need to open gun and check what's up could be as simple as realign the sector gear or replace or at worst, mosfet needs replacing cos it's gone doowally

This depends on a few things; Did they test the gun at all? - If so, did they test it with YOUR battery/mags? or equivalent to what you'd be using? Did they charge you for the do-over(s)? - I would allow some leniency of error, but the fact it was a complete dud? after 2 attempts of sorting it? nah If they've agreed to sort it for free, (maybe a small good-will refund to cover travel expenses?), to clear their name? Sure. However, at a certain point, it becomes evident that -just maybe- they don't know what they're doing Maybe they're just not good at DMR builds?

You could say... those prices are... revonuts

TM mags are annoyingly proprietary so £25 for each mag (x9) - £175 Tracer - between £40-£140, depending on brand or whatever Let's just say top end, cause TM recoil, can't cheap out now after all that, can you? Chest rig? - can get a decent one for ~£50, but some can run £100+ HOWEVER!! That one has a DEVGRU patch. Gotta make sure everyone knows So that EAAASILY makes up the rest [Realistically, he should be looking at the £1200 - 1500 range. That's generally what upgraded TM recoils go for. But upgrades don't mean shit, most of that is labour charge] Deffo another case of "Oh shit, I paid WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much for a toy pew pew pretend gun, totally means I can get all that back WITH PROFIT right?"

In general, this would be a cut off lever problem if the cut off lever is worn, or just not doing it's job, then it would cause the gun to have problems firing semi-auto the lancer/specna combo is a bold choice not sure why it would have high speed gears - these could be spinning too fast for the cut off to activate? {{or could the sector be shimmed too high to grab the cut off to trip it?}} You mentioned the gun has a microswitch trigger - does that mean it also has a mosfet system? ---> does this have any active brake / precocking settings you can add/change? perhaps the nozzle is too big? - is the nozzle from the specna gb, the same as what was in the lancer's? (down to the decimal mm?, so if it was 22.4mm, is the other also 22.4?) If you have the confidence/experience to crack open the gearbox, then do so, as you'll need to manually cycle the sector gear to make sure it's tripping the cut off may be some trial and error needed, or perhaps a new cut off needed (if applicable) ///

^^^ tl;dr i agree I got this for the one i got (it says ASG but it's the same gun as the cyma) - had to file down the end a little bit for it to fit a little nicer This was after buying a brand new aep nimh battery and it dying pretty much instantly (friend has same nimh battery, same make etc, and it worked, so guess i got a dud) The li-po one charges with your standard lipo smart chargers, which tend to have nice obvious led charge lights to let you know as well - with the added bonus that you can plug it into a battery tester too wiring in a normal battery connector is pretty easy too, so is an option, but would prob suggest the lipo

Yep, same. Now imagine seeing this thread, locked out, for 7 days, and NOT in the discord had to do some major hacks (i pressed F12 on the main page and had some lucky guesses at the discord link) to get the discord link, to join, to message the almighty mod to please undo my error

"If it beeps once per second, then it means low voltage. If it beeps continuously, then it means the motor couldn't pull the spring, either the GB is jammed, or the motor isn't strong enough. If it beeps twice a second, then it means the sector gear is at the wrong position." So possibly battery isn't charged enough for it's liking Check your battery is fully charged, and/or use a battery checker on the one you tried this with to make sure the battery isn't on it's way out

If it's the part I think you're on about, it screws in with a tiny ass screw - very losable That part of the gun is generally only aesthetic anyways On other guns, that's how you get to the hop wheel but with CYMA/TM it's underneath next to the magwell So it's just for show You could probably source replacement parts if needed

I will agree, however, that any excess should be cleaned off before use for better results but the excess won't damage your gun could it cause some deviation in the flight path of the bb? yeah, maybe, maybe not - but that will (in general) clear itself out

Correct Friction creates heat Heat vs Rubber = Breakages Am I saying bathe that shit in silicon spray? You could, but no, not really Would that still be better than none at all? Yes Any excess will be jettisoned after the first few rounds Personally, after 10 years of storage, it would probably be best to just outright replace the hop rubbers, but keeping re-start-up costs low for now.... a can of silicon spray is likely cheaper than x-amount of hop rubbers

Silicon spray but you could use actual lube, as most are silicon based Any lubrication is better than going in dry lube; it's just a catch-all term

^^^^ clean and relube your barrel/hop/hop rubbers as well Any batteries you had are probably naffed unless you have a battery tester to verify, may be best to buy new batteries for any you plan to use Any mags left with bbs in, likely need new springs (only if left under tension) Would probably not use any old bbs either Otherwise, if it's been stored in a "cool, dry place", and in cases and such, I can't imagine you'll need to do much else tl;dr give em a service

If you have spare cylinder(s) or spare sector(s), i'd try if different ones have the same issue (in different combos with stock sector, and stock cylinder) Possibly just badly machined from factory? (cylinder port looks a bit scraggly on photo) It's Double Bell, so makes sense Sounds liike a new one to me too, but you solved it yourself with a little mod So, nice, good job
