    Gears and motor

    Worst case it's a reshim and slight modification to the pistol grip (or a new pistol grip altogether) to achieve a proper engagement angle.

    Gears and motor

    Very odd.. Do you happen to have an amp meter you could plug to check the power consumption? My experience with 22tpa motors is limited to the good ol' ZCI one (bought from Pete when Brexit wasn't a thing) and it didn't pull more than 13 amps in full auto on a 7 tooth DSG. on 13:1s it pulled...

    Gears and motor

    Nah, piston has no part in this. The nozzle resting position is set by the position of the sector gear after a shot, the position of the tappet cam, the dimensions and shape of the delayer if present and the shape of the tappet plate. All my guns have the nozzle fully forward when in their...

    Gears and motor

    Phone mics for some reason like to enhance high pitch noises, but overall it looks like it's a little too tight.

    Gears and motor

    When shimming the sector gear you will need to take into account what components it interacts with: On one side you have the spur gear, on the other side you have the tappet plate and on top you have the piston rack. Spur gear interaction is easy, shim the sector low enough to have a tiny gap...

    Your, You're, There, Their, They're

    As a non native english speaker (more like I can read and write okay, but when I open my mouth I sound like a demented australopithecus), it has always puzzled me how easily y'all can fuck those up....

    Gears and motor

    Just make sure you get the pinion/bevel meshing right, as most of the gear noise comes from those two.. Having good meshing also ensures that the energy transfer from the motor to the rest of the gearset is as smooth and less violent as possible. At the same time do not shim the sector gear too...

    Gears and motor

    13:1 for me. Any 22tpa motor can pull pretty silly springs without any issues, pulling 13:1s at UK powers won't strain them in any way possible unless you get a lemon motor, but if you're buying from @ak2m4I'm sure he'll provide excellent service should anything happen. For reference, at 0.99J...

    Mid Cap magazine - High Capacity

    Keep in mind that past a certain bb threshold those mags really take a toll on AEG nozzles. ALL of them, some brands more than others but it's still an issue.

    Gun barrel and shimming

    I would avoid T238 motors, they have a rather high failure rate.. Go Solink or Warhead, these are the two with the less shit quality control of the bunch. A much more cost effective way of upgrading your AEG is to set a very definite goal first, then look at different ways to achieve said goal...

    Gun barrel and shimming

    Nope, it's only those three grub screws. Luckily it has anti rotation tabs which effectively lock it in place and prevent loosening.

    Gun barrel and shimming

    I had the Core version (now it's completely different). Barrel not being aligned is pretty common, maybe one of the three handguard retaining grub screws is tighter/looser so it pushes the thing out of alignment. Regarding shimming, the one place where most of the noise comes from is the bevel...

    MK12 upgrading help.

    The only brushless motors that come with unidirectional bearings (effectively eliminating the need for a mechanical ARL) are the Solink Advanced and V5 motors (the latter is also known as G5 under Gate's branding). Unless using the aforementioned motors it's utter bollocks to remove the ARL, so...

    Single Sector Wanker Gun

    Doable, but I found that past a certain threshold (say 30 rps) it's much more convenient to build a DSG instead. I managed, by mistake, 36/37 RPS on a single sector gear running off 12:1s and 36k warhead but I had to shortstroke the sector by 4 teeth to achieve proper timing.. You will need a...

    I kinda like the short fixed stock, I wish I had a tan/fde one to match but heh, 'tis just a test.

    Hop rubbers recommendations

    It's not much about the hop rubber but rather the hop unit. If I'm not mistaken G&G rotary hop units have a clicking retainer that helps with.....well....retaining the hop up adjustment. One option is to try a hop unit that doesn't have said clicking retainer so you can fine tune the...

    New Player Looking for Advice on First AEG & Modding Options

    I suggest to stick to the AR platform.. I know they're boring and it'd be just another M4 variant in an ocean of M4 variants, but the fact it's so widespread means that there are many, many parts to pick from and the gun itself can be customized both in performance and looks/ergonomics...

    New Player Looking for Advice on First AEG & Modding Options

    You can change the barrel and handguard on any M4 to the desired length, but you're just starting out so you're better off with an off the shelf short gun. Go for polymer receivers too, they save a lot of weight and cost. Evolution is decent, on par with Specna and Dboys (their polymer body...
