Why not just sand it down till it's "chrome" then polish it?

can you do this with all guns? might do it with my g&g extreme, what grit sandpaper do i need.

Start with something like 120 and then use 150 to smooth it out.

I have an Ics Sig 552 its a great gun. Forget what it says above.mosfet is pointless unless you change other stuff or are planning on using an 11.1 lipo.

Inner barrel is fine the bucking is crap though.

Pay the extra and get the mrs version though lots of RIS and you dont need a peq box for the battery. Mags are an issue thats the only thing.

I picked one up 2nd hand a few weeks for a bargain; liking it so far.

Much more solid than my old TM and JG versions and the quick take-down is a god-send!

**few weeks ago

what exact gun & model and what's the matter with it ????

A lot of things have to go wrong at once for something to be completely knackered.

*Sigh* turns out my mate was having me one xD kindly dropped it off at JD for me today and then told me they needed new parts, THEN told me he was joking the w**ker.

"Superglue fuses rubber if it contains cyanoacrylate"

Come on. Seriously did you just say that? Super Glue IS a cyanoacrylate adhesive. Also it doesn't fuse, it bonds.

Anyway, the reason your particular case failed was most likely down to poor bonding of the original rubber pad on the head. Which is the precise reason why pretty much EVERY tutorial I've ever seen for AoE correction says you should remove any original pad before fixing on your sorbo pad. Cheap...

I'm gonna back out of this but not ALL adhesives marked as "super glue" contains that.

Simple check that was all

I've never yet seen a "super glue" that isn't a cyanoacrylate. Granted Super Glue is a trade name so not all cyanoacrylates are "Super Glue" but I'm pretty sure all super glues are cyanoacrylate. Happy to be proven wrong as ever though.

Well the final question of the day is how well does it perform? i've heard positive things about most G&G products, bar the 30th.

i dont really mind front wired, and i'd probably end up changing the handguard to a full rail RIS, as the lipo's i have are abit too big these days to hide inside so a bat-box is needed in most situations.

30th ??? - maybe I have said the 26 30th front sight is bit flimsy but the GC16 30th is the bollox - seen only happy reviews about the GC16 30th and mine I'm over the moon with. Though I haven't took her out skirmishing coz got her to add to my G&G collection and got plenty of others I take instead - Inside it is a CM16 so can't for the life of me imagine it being any less solid starter gun than my others. If your unsure get a raider though I think long raider is a tad long...

Well i can say i've been won over :3

Got a picture?

well just testing all of it now so ill do what i can to include a video showing the misfeeds

Keep nudging it, it'll give way.

okay well update: got it all the way off, cleaned the inner barrel, checked the hop rubber (fine) and the gearbox has strong compression. dust cover was being a pain in the ass; kept slipping out of place each time i tried putting it on and jammed up against the gearbox. Sadly now the cover release isnt working and the receiver is now jammed once again, with the battery connection hanging out the magwell xD

nevermind; saved their number just in case this time

Can you ask them where my pouches are?

aha ill see what i can do xD

if its new take it back

feeding could be hop but the grinding makes me think tappet not moving 101% correctly to load bb's

grinding could be tappet plate borked/stuck - still getting compression so sector is pulling piston ok atm

Nah its about a few months bought from a friend second hand. somet was gonna come along and eff up eventually. so you reckon its not fully gearbox internal based? ill have to take it down to JD and have em look it over.

Probably best, sounds like tappet plate but I'm still guessing coz not got it here to see/hear for myself

Lozart, you are a saint!

You will have to add postage but it's still cheaper

Free postage for mainlanders; haha!

Well it got sent off through a friend to a guy who knows his stuff n he's offered to upgrade the gears if necessary; 3 days apparently, so by saturday it should be up and running

Any gearset is only ever as good as its shimming...

Good to know ill be sure to keep an eye on it.

Personally for £30-£40 you probably looking at cheap one from china that might be hotter m120+ and say 7mm bushings, plus chance of customs import tax and waiting n waiting for china post - JG, DBoys, Cyma etc...

Or this APS one

Well the APS one you recommended is a good starting point & if you say its good ill take your word aha

I believe they should be coming in fairly soon, may be worth dropping them a PM on here to double check.

*Which is tomorrow

FireHawk HC05 DSG and it ain't as great as we are lead to think

Plus a broken R85/cheapo L85 for parts or fixing

Odd i was thinking of picking up one of those myself; whats it like? and at least its not a VFC MP7: Thing will break down on you in a heartbeat.

atm I still think the rare initial high spec batch of FH's were best. A very loud bitch of a gun, turns heads and a fun gun to own. I'd see if any s/hand FH's come up for sale now the DSG is being released.

Ebay it. There are plenty of cheap replica helmets based on everything from WWI helmets to modern stuff.

M88?

Depends on the quality you want. You can get a plastic M88 for £12-£15,

strange, my WE Glocks hop is sh*t too.

probably something you've already done, but I stripped my hop unit out, de greased everything and put it all back together ensuring everything was tight. I had a 1911 which had no lift, turns out the hop lever had slipped of the hop wheel so wasn't actually applying any pressure.

My WE G17 can hit a coke can at around 15-20 meters, which I think is pretty good. It's a US G17, but I doubt that would change anything.

Aha, just adds to the fun factor really :L

what brand is it?

Umarex/VFC

My only worry is attempting to open the bolt and put in a flute valve, but the internals might not be compatible with the KWA products

The cheaper SAAVs aren't particularly tough- the original South African M83 vest would be a better buy if you really like the style and can afford it. As for mag compatibility, the vest's mag pouches are designed for 5.56 size Galil mags, so it'll definitely fit magazines the width of an MP7 mag.

I'm more concerned about the length/height of MP7 and if they'll fit in the mag pouches if they can fit an M4 mag or two, wanna compare it to MP7 mags.

If you can push £30 more, I'd recommend a semapo 6094, real multicam, all that good stuff and with more molle real estate than you could ever wish for

Take a look at the Condor or Flyye ranges on Military 1st.

Some interesting vests, especially the WAS product line & Semapo. Condor look decent, but Flyye seem a little too out of my price range with their Military1st products. Appreciate the help!

Welcome back!

And this is the part where i say the status was rhetorical >;D any day is a damn good day to get shot! xD

Agreed

I'm off to uni on the 23rd, so I'll probably do the same

Smooth xD whats your playing field?
