I have had to shim with some penny washers in the past.

Hi all, I've taken the plunge and bought myself a P* Jack unit. I've used a G&P V2 gearbox shell and fitted it into a VLTOR/Magpul Receiver. Here's the problem, when I tighten up the grip and the stock (Again, both Magpul) it twists the gearbox to the left so the nozzle rubs on the hop rubber.
 
For those that haven't seen it, here's the gun I'm blatantly copying:
 

 
I realize he's using a P* Fusion Engine. I have no clue what to do to sort the issue
 
Is this problem common to building guns?

There's Elite Action Games (EAG) Worthing/Dorking and Battles Lakes

Well, I sem to have turned this thread in to a JC debate, sorry about that! One thing I have to add, a gun firing at say 550fps on .2's doesn't really gain any extra distance. 600 fps and you start seeing a bit of an increase. I've often wondered what the fps of a BB would be at 25 meter mark (In other words, how much force is lost in the first 20-25 meters). Having a 25/30 meter "ME" helps more than anything. Oh yeah, do people not realize that 1 yard is not the same as 1 meter? I now have a Hawke optics Laser range finder and even in the video review they talk about yards, it measures ONLY in Meters!

I refer to "range" to include accuracy where the gun/shooter's range is on target or pretty damn close
 
100m with good accuracy - most of the time is not the same getting a bb to reach 100m
the above is a very rare thing to achieve or come close to
 
if anybody can do that easily then I tip my hat sir

Here's where the argument lies.... 100 meters IS achievable BUT.... Joule creep plays a massive part in it! Ask anyone with a decent Tanaka how far they can fire. My Gspec has been through several internal combinations until I've settled with what I have now (For the moment) but at one point it was firing .2's at 498fps and .43's at a whopping 400 fps. With a bit of over hop I was getting 90-100 meters measured but you're essentially talking about a gun that fires at just under 600 fps! Nowadays I'm happy with 70 meters with a 7:10 hit rate! My current chrono readings are 475/340 which is correct for the .43's

I had the same issue. Right, the genuine Blackhawk one is the best to have! All you need do is take about half an hour with a dremmel filing out the area mainly around the nozzle. It takes a bit to get it right but once done it's spot on! plus you have the BH quality that prevents the gun falling out. Worth noting, I tried one of the clones and although the fit was easier to achieve you can easily pull the gun out without the retention button being pressed.
 
Also worth mentioning, If you want a good alternative, theres a company called Phoenix tactical, based in Barcelona and run by a guy called Tito Villalobos. He did me a custom Kydex holster for my Hicapa and it's bloody superb!

I'm impressed! Although I have to admit, my wife's left handed and she holds a gun in her right hand?

Just thought I'd share. For once I had a half decent photo taken the other weekend at Skirmish
 

Engineered socks by Bridgedale, any good mountaneering shop sell them! The best I've ever had were Burton Snowboard socks! Knee high (Never fell down) and lasted me 10 years! 10 YEARS!!!!!!!

Well last night I had a good one, all the other team were hiding out upstairs in the "kill house" kinda like a large 3 bedroom double fronted house, it was really dark and I managed to clear the whole upstairs in about 5 seconds taking out all 6 of them in different rooms with my trusty hi- cappa, surprise and stealth FTW 😂

Maybe email Evike? There must be a US seller that can sell you some plastic flashhiders in orange. Normally they come with a tiny grubscrew, dare I say it but superglue it on
 
Another option... break the gun down and send it to atleast 3 locations in the US. (Do you have friends or family over there?) use a different name and it should be fine!

Yeah I just missed him selling that rifle by 45 minutes, was well gutted

I have a VISIONKING 1.25-5x26 on my Scar L and it's spot on! I've gone from wasting mags of ammo trying to hit people out of range to now carrying 4 mids and a 1 Hi cap. A scope is great fun on an AEG (Unless your playstyle is to "Spray and prey").

I would have thought they would have been available over there...
 
Like Grover said though, couldnt you just spray the ends of all of them orange as a temp solution? Or better yet use Orange insulation tape (Or painted masking tape) etc??

I've had a proper arm chair permanently installed to my fence on account of the amount of time sitting there.
 
I can see why it could be an issue for some really young players, but as an adult (presuming the site has a shop) then I think if you literally don't have even a tenner to your name by the time you've paid for your skirmish day, you possibly shouldn't have paid the £25-35 for the skirmish day in the first place. There's no need to be running your bank account on empty for the sake of a hobby.

Don't sugar-coat it Chris. Tell us how you really feel.
 
You're completely right though. Who doesn't come with enough money to buy a £7.50 bottle of BBs when they're in need?

My Pre-Ban Tanaka all HPA'd Excuse the Mrs pictures lol
 

 
 

Did you get to take his weapon in hand aswell?Was he happy using your little white balls?

Let us know what you go with. I'd be nice if Guarder made a .43 in a lighter colour too as black is obviously naff for hop adjustment.

The correct FPS on a .43 in a 500fps (On .2) settup is 341. Other than R-hopping the thing then running an M130 i'm leaving it as is! I get 70-80 meters now nicely, before it would go further with overhop but that was with the +50fps joule creep. I switched to the Laylax settup because it uses the TBB to gain fps rather than running a higher rate spring (Which leads to Joule creep badly).

Here you go, TM VSR GSpec, Full Laylax kit with a 430mm 6.03 barrel, Standard hop unit and rubber but with a shimmed Airsoft Pro hop lever. Hawke 4-12 x 50mm Scope, LLCS and Custom sprayed stock/scope
 
Currently 485fps with .2's and 461fps with .43's so it joule creeps 20fps, better than before with my ASPUK set-up.

Boring L96 that I've had for far too long. Can be fun but it's pretty outmatched by longer barrel VSRs.
 

 
Edit:
350mm (roughly, I don't remember exactly) PDI 9.01
PDI hop up unit with R-Hop
Airsoft Pro trigger, cylinder, guide rod and piston
PDI 180 spring that puts out 445 with .2s but I've got a 210 and a 220 that will take it up to as far as 560 with a bitch of a bolt cycle
PDI duralumin shortened fluted barrel and suppressor adaptor
Some Laylax bits here and there like end-screw, cheek screws etc.
Scope is a Visionking 3-9 x 42
