This is my red dot...  had no problems with it and it doesn't seem to shift from zero. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08NWZ4MPD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Going to stick it on one of my ol' man's RS Shotguns and see how well it holds up LOL.

Well the Nylon 12 plates have arrived and I have to say I am not overly confident in how long they will last.   I'm guessing the return spring hook will be the first to break. Not sure I can justify £60+ for the the POM version though.  WIll have to stock up on genuine ones. Now to find out...

If you go for an Odin - I highly recommend the silicone insert.  It makes a massive difference to the amount of noise and you no longer sound like you're playing the maracas when you're running around

Well....don't I feel a bit of a dick?!?‍? Not sure how I missed this on the last few strip downs.... Teeth must have been disintegrating bit by bit. Luckily had a few project/educational gearboxes lying around with metal teethed pistons.  Just chrono'd her and she's at 332fps on 0.2 bbs and...

Sadly this is in response to his pew suddenly dropping in performance with nothing changing.   Learned a lesson though....I'm only changing one thing at a time. Next test is to swap the springs out between his and mine as there is nearly a year on his compared to mine, as its simple and non...

Ooff just had the quote back for POM units...£62 each plus VAT.  Same again for the nozzle to match.  If i order five units it dropped to £55+ per unit. Any ICS L85 owners interested? ?‍?️

Changed the bucking and made things worse....BBs were getting stuck in the hop and the gun sounded generally awful. I suppose that's because of Maple Leaf rubbers having bigger lips? Put the oem back in and fps dropped even more...plus the usual issue of not always selecting single shot.   *sigh*.

Well, new plate fitted (oem) and we appear to be back up and running at 1.26 joules. Have a company looking to produce me some POM ones because I'm pretty sure it's me running g 11.1v batteries increasing the ROF that's caused it.  The gun never seems happy on 7.4s. Retro Arms aren't doing...

Well...4 actually....my tappet plate doesn't look like it's arriving until Tuesday.... so the boy will be on one of the Specnas as a backup and I'll be in the DE or remaining Specna.  Then again we still have is Bolt action and my SVU.......You know....just in case.

LOL. Tried a couple but none were any better.  Seems to be averaging 250 now on 0.2g which isn't great.  Get the occasional blockage if there's too much hop too.  Frustrating as we're now back to orignal parts. Will not get a chance to test long (arf)  range bop until gameday now which is a...

Just for reference,  here's the inside of the gearbox...

I don't think this would be allowed somehow... ??

Buggers have loctited one of the motor cradle screws in. ? Anyway...cracked open the Boy's gearbox, and everything is tidy in there.  However,  @Sewdhull's thought on piston oring seems to be the culprit.  Very weak seal there.  Spring seems to be good, even though it was left under tension...

All these backup pews get lonely in the safe zone, so they need friends.

Just two?

I've sent an email to Retroarms so we will see what happens - Firesupport have dispatched my order already so fingers crossed Royal Mail are efficient and deliver tomorrow - then I shall have time to fit it to my pew fo Sunday's Big Skirm.

Intersting read that - teh Nylon plates I ordered I did wonder how they would react to continual flexing, btu ddidn't really think about impact damage.   The printing method is supposed to be >80% solid, so hopefully that gives a little more meat to the fragile bit that broke (where the...

The boy's L85 has seemingly lost quite a bit of power,  sorting from memory 180fps on 0.28s last weekend.  It is a few years old now,  and spent nearly a year hanging in the wall.   There is a chance the spring was under compression during this time,  but the boy insists it wasn't,  and recent...

Somewhat relieved to discover this afternoon that the sudden and total failure of my ICS L85 was down to the tappet plate snapping.  I called @ak2m4who graciously spoke to me out of hours,  and had an enlightening conversation and Google session.   I ordered the last one that firesupport had in...
