    Gbb pistol not feeding

    I've got an asg combat master c02, and it's not feeding right. Mags are fine, and when I slowly move the slide I can see the nozzle is pushing the bbs down instead of into the chamber. I can chamber a round if I push the slide closed hard, but when firing it tends to not feed. Anyone have any...

    How to dmr?

    Part of the reason I want to do it is it has a quick change spring, so if something happens to my m4 and I need to use the l85 differently or we go to a different sight I can bring it back down to 1.14j.

    How to dmr?

    Ah, see I try to avoid reddit after it started bombarding me with notifications, messages etc. Cheers for linking that! One final question before I put together a list of parts and things to do, is it gonna be worth short stroking? I don't see any reason to myself as I'm not gonna use full auto...

    How to dmr?

    It's the best platform I've got, I don't want to buy another gun yet, and I already have a perfectly usable aeg for full auto fun.

    How to dmr?

    Those are very good points. The reason I was going to replace the air seal parts is that I put an uncut sp120 spring in and got to about 400-410 fps, hence I cut down the spring as I hadn't planned in making it a dmr at the time. Reckon a 130 spring would get me there without having to open the...

    How to dmr?

    I skirmished at combat thetford yesterday and was talking to the marshals about my upgraded ares mutant and my new l85a3 and whether I could use it as a dmr on site. As long as it's locked to semi auto and not over 1.88j it's a dmr in their eyes. Luckily I can lock it to semi auto with the ares...

    How to dmr?

    So I've searched online and there are so many different guides on how to dmr a rifle that I'm getting confused. Figured I'd list the parts I'm looking to replace, what I'm aiming for in terms of fps, and ask for suggestions for which brands etc to go for. So currently my l85 is sitting just...

    Ares L85A3 EBB

    Ares L85A2 EBB FPS: (stock 300+) 330-340 Hop up: Proprietary with maple leaf super macron bucking and Omega nub (Will explain further in opinion and comments) Mag Capacity: Comes with two 130rd Mid-caps Battery: Suggested 11.1v Lipo Plastic/Metal/Both: Stammped steel, aluminium and plastic...

    Loss of about 200fps

    So, in case anyone else has this issue at any point, I'll explain what the issue/s was. 1. Short troking and precocking without adjusting the tappet timing. Nozzle was coming forward just after the piston. Big loss of fps there. 2. Shagged bucking. Speaks for itself. 3. Crap mags. I kept...

    Loss of about 200fps

    Ok. I'm at my wit's end. Stock nozzle refitted, brand new super macron bucking with omega nub, barrel polished, piston, piston head, cylinder, cylinder head all checked for compression and it's all good.  I'm still only getting 140 FPS on .2s, and using the paper test the paper still flies out...

    Batteries for ares l85a3

    Ah, if they recommend 11.1 then that's what I'll go for. Cheers.

    Batteries for ares l85a3

    Quick easy one (hopefully) for anyone that owns an ares l85a3. I've seen some places say to use 7.4v lipos, some say 11.1v. Which would be the better bet? I have two 7.4s and the shop has said I can swap them for 11.1s if I want, but suggests the 7.4v. However other shops, reviews etc say...

    Loss of about 200fps

    Ok, just been thrown a curve ball here. My nozzle doesn't go all the way back before coming back forwards. It looks like the tappet plate itself bends upwards towards the piston and doesn't go back all the way. It's almost like the tappet spring is too strong. Possibly a stupid question, but is...

    Loss of about 200fps

    Unfortunately the maple leaf bucking is all I have. I've also had no issues with them before (except for the shagged one, which probably happened when fitting it knowing my clumsy hands). I don't know the length of the ares nozzle as I don't have any calipers to measure with, but the...

    Loss of about 200fps

    Ok, so I put the new bucking in, and it wouldn't feed at all with the aftermarket nozzle I put in. (Didn't lose my range time though as I also bought a new areas l85a3 as an early birthday gift to me). Seeing as the new nozzle is only a millimeter or two longer, would that really stop it from...

    Picked this up today. Loving the blowback.

    Loss of about 200fps

    Oh it's tight against the gearbox. The amoeba mutants have a spring in the outer barrel that pushed the proprietary hop unit tight, then it's also held in place with a couple of hex bolts. I've gone through everything except putting a new maple leaf bucking in, so hopefully when I pick up a new...

    Loss of about 200fps

    This is probably the culprit, and the other bucking I used to test is an old knackered guarder black, that everytime I tried to install would slide further up the barrel meaning the lips wouldn't meet the nozzle. Im going to do armaments today so I'll put it all back together, bring the rifle...

    Loss of about 200fps

    Ok, so I just did the tissue/paper test. That came flying out when I fired it, so I'm losing all my compression at the nozzle/bucking seal. Now in theory the new nozzle, it being longer, should give a better seal. But I'm guessing it might be a little thinner. either that or my bucking lips are...

    Loss of about 200fps

    Iring seems to be fine, I get good compression when I tested, after clearing out the vents. However, I did discover after putting it back together for another fps test that some shots I could see the air hit my duvet (I don't really have anywhere better to test) then I would hear the bb slowly...
