Sitting Duck

not quite a joke but I found it funny all the same & the guy's response is sort peew peew related...

CQB with all that - don't need that on a CQB gun you need... kidding/sarcasm btw... as said I'm more minimalist approach though a flashlight for dark CQB would be one of my add-on's I guess

Two scopes/red dot sights ??? reminds me of... to each their own, I like FH's too but as is, minimal look with a stubby stock etc... (buffer tube battery idea was not a great idea imho but ho hum & all that)

issue if the nozzle is tooooooo long, then even on full retraction there isn't say nearly 7mm in font of nozzle in hop unit to chamber/allow a bb to slip/pass & into bucking if the nozzle is tooooooooo short it feeds better, but shorter nozzle never quite seals on bucking resulting in fps loss as lips blow from lighter sealing pressure it will probably be fine with a small tiny tolerance - you get a bit of give n take if you get feed issues then you may have to fit delay clip or file nozzle lightly you might be OK on semi or slower speeds, on faster snappier guns feed issues can occur more sometimes you got a bit of leeway & others you have finer tolerance or tappet/nozzle window (don't worry about it - I over think shit way way way too much) give it a go and suck it & see as the saying goes, you'll probably be OK if not start a new thread for more of your toy gun headaches

Cool - no wobbly nozzle then ??? coz the SHS ones I have - from Gunfire & decent Chinese sellers were a bit loose (snug in other tappets like SHS ones, but was loose in Cyma clear & recent blue tappets) had some snide lighter red/pink nozzles that were shorter & fit poorly in every tappet mind you the nozzles i got are a few years old I guess, even the SHS ones so if Pete's nozzles fit snuggly I'd be interested in grabbing a few myself POM nozzles that are too tight fit can distort if wedged into a tappet & lose good seal at o-ring it is the classic pita compatible crap - often stuff works alright but other times they don't go to plan (like the larger eyelet on Cyma switches, v3 spring guide in v2's, ultra loose as fuck cylinder head odd safety arm screw outside box, different tappet plate, possible qwirky nozzle, reinforced box for 13:1's piston head is alright once you change o-ring though) cheers for heads up - might drop Pete a line re nozzles 21.4mm ish, it is in Luke's recent video but knew that anyway - it is around 21.4~21.45 (common M4 nozzle, some use nozzles a little shorter like ICS & some others) in some boxes/builds it can a whisker too long hence measure nozzle and other stuff to compare it all but yeah Cyma's are usual 21.4mm

Be careful of them Magpul/PTS clone grip bollox I had a couple and some other aftermarket grips - they were shite motor sloppy as fuck, motor grip plate seem to shove motor way out of line with axle certain motor plates don't always fit other grips - despite looking the exact same So come to the conclusion that most often the stock grip is kept as it usually is fair good (sod changing grips to a more fancy looking one) Sounds like you might have a burr or slightly wonky gear or two also adding to stuff - sometimes a rebuild goes according to plan, almost completely flawless easy shimming other times it is nightmare after nightmare and have to go back with an ultra fine examination of everything Yes I fully understand how some motors, the way the armature is set on the motor's axle higher/lower results in some motors being nigh on the max/min limit in some guns/grips etc... also the springs on the motor tower can vary too, usually they compress right down to say just under 5mm (squishing them & measuring in a digital caliper) but others only compress down to say 6mm - so before you start the motor can be sitting 1mm higher due to a motor spring with more coils in it Then factor in the way armatures sit higher/lower on some motors and in middle of magnetic field (like SHS & ZCI) then no wonder swapping motors can result in a very different motor height setting and sometimes this can be beyond the tolerance of motor height adjustment on some guns/grips fucking nightmare it can be - I know some will be tempted to add some shims between grip/box to space the grip if motor sits way too high - well as temp fix or to see it if improves (I guess if you had 4 screw threads in box you could add 2 to left/right to slightly tilt motor angle) but really this is a temp fix/test or bodge trying to see if motor aligns a little better but really try another grip/motor/pinion/gear-set or something and go back over it all again end of the day you know by the sound if it is right or not, backed up by amp draw but you know when it sounds right - it's your own fault for being a fusspot when dealing with lapse Chinese tolerances is poxy toy guns

Motor grip/angle is my hunch but tbh it could be anything, wire either side of motor loads of slack in the gearbox opening & motor tower so it thrashes about... Motor grip OK on gearbox out of receiver ??? so the grip needs filing as it could be pulling when all fitted together to receiver ??? tried marking the box with receiver & also grip to see if grip is too large ??? something like the motor axle is not 101% inline with bevel axle, so it is running off centre or at a minor angle if motor slightly skewed I'd grab another grip if you got one, one that is pretty snug on box and doesn't have a massive motor entry point to the box so hopefully the motor is not able to thrash about once it all aligns (hopefully in sync & in line from motor axle shaft direct to the bevel axle so the bevel pinion is exactly at 6 o'clock & not offset)

End of the day - that is all that matters

) Ignore this post maths suck atm... Nope was right it is about €1:06 to the £ on TWG Travellers cheques/cash €1:11 to £ PayPal €1:09 to £, I don't remember the rate calculation being quite as low, by comparison, on many previous orders, But the prices/calculations might soon be due for review

Could be so you can apply the formula to UK prices, and from the EU States in sterling etc.... I'm just showing you the x 0.831 formula to arrive back to ex 23%. The currency fluctuation though "should" effect the inclusive, as well as the ex-VAT price for UK. It is fine though as a minor margin would allow for for discrepancies etc... Poland's tax office have the authority in certain instances take money owed from your business account if they wish to. Yup actually take the money from the account, where as UK can freeze the account, Poland can actually take money owed to them

Never hurts to simplify the workings out... My missus works out percentages the long way, I prefer to just say multiply by 1.2 for UK VAT. Or x 1.23 for Polish VAT applied, It is more of simplified method 1 sum on calculator or phone, But as said same meat different gravy & all that... End of day TWG "seem" to perhaps skimming 2%, Not full exporting it zero 23% VAT - NEARLY at say just under 21%

Or just multiply the TWG price by 0.831 (Same meat different gravy) £133.76 x 0.831 = £108.75 is what the price SHOULD be ex 23% VAT. What they have done is knocked off 21% (just under)... £110.59 x 1.21 = £133.89 (just under 21%) knocked off, so TWG are likely skimming 2% admin fees... Still cheap but not quite what it should be

TWG & GF charge or rather CHARGED you 23% Hungary is highest @ 27% blah blah blah... it is there on the invoice if go into your GF account and look at detailed invoices so now the VAT is collected & stays in UK there may be some admin/fees on top but overall the tax revenue is collected for UK purse yes others will cream off admin crap too

Your best option is either a Perun Optical V2 MOSFET, or rip the G&G DSG out and replace with SHS DSG with 9mm bushings... or JB Weld something to create crude cams for ASTER to detect (it may not need very large pronounced cams created as the axle is larger 5mm compared to reg 3mm axle, there is a slight risk this large sector axle may confuse the ASTER, but the radius would only be 2.5mm compared to 1.5mm & the height of any cam would be greater than this, so it should be possible imho) Either way there is some cost/work involved, The Perun would be maybe the best option if you could swap the ASTER for a Perun Optical ??? (ASTER is just under $70 on Evike & Perun is just over $70) The ASTER is a decent option for boxes where say the 2-part Titan needs modification to box to avoid fouling/shorting on some re-enforced boxes - think Krytac boxes need a bit of modding Where the ASTER is a one piece unit, so no risk of fouling/short from top half of unit (ergh - coz it doesn't have a top half on ASTER) Unfortunately - it reads the sector COL cam, which normally would work fine in almost any v2 box Alas coz the G&G's HC05 DSG has no cam(s) at all it won't work properly so make the cams like TSG vid showed & test/retest or use the Perun v2 Optical I suggest you try & read some of the modifications I did to mine a while back, You can skip most of me moaning about it, but your cylinder might have a hole drilled in it too But focus or translate what stuff I did when I opened it... One day I might fit a Perun in mine, But it is a quirky gun as is with no semi. G&G did this with no semi to avoid copyright from Seigtek/Riot, Who had the idea/concept of the DSG. Shame - could have been an awesome gun, But as usual G&G didn't quite get it right So HC05 owners are left with a CQB gun that doesn't fire on semi and left to ponder, what way is best to finish the gun that G&G failed to do it's so annoying, coz G&G did made a clone of Riot's DSG with cams on 3mm axles https://www.guay2.com/en/product/detail-996 But for legal reasons I guess, went with a bespoke 5mm no semi one instead to make some weird, odd lemony pig of a FireHawk DSG instead Where as, G&G could have cut a deal with Riot perhaps and/or approach Perun and buy in bulk the v2 optical plus also their better ETU - now ETU++ than make their own crappy DairyLea ETU Naaahhh, they wouldn't do that... Why not ??? Specna Arms use Gate mosfets in some of their guns from the X-ASR, also the ASTER and I think the Titan too Once again, G&G let their pride get in the way or rested on their laurels, allowing others to catch up & even surpass them sometimes
