Hi all,  I’m looking to have a new good spec V3 gearbox built and fitted into my RPK for the 2025 season.  Can anyone recommend a tech that would be able to help with this?    Am happy to ship it so not location limited. (Uk mainland only)  thanks in advance,

Hi all, A while ago I did some work on my JG RPK. I replaced the stock hop unit for a combat union, purple prommy bucking & nub installed the combat union nozzle that came with the hop. Cleaned out the v3 gearbox and re greased. It has been great (around 2yrs) but has recently started...

Here we have the evolution of my cheapie JG RPK bought off here from Hutt armouries few years ago.    Iv had fun learning how to take this all part and work on it modernising it along the way.    originally I was just going to replace the externals but straight away I could tell I’d need to...

Would this effect compression parts though?  would I need new cylinder etc?  sorry for all the questions! 

Thanks peeps, So, when I took the outer barrel end off (outer 2 parts) there was the smallest amount of wiggle play with the inner barrel like 0.5mm all round. I have wedged a tiny rubber O-ring in around the outside of the inner which now holds it rock solid.  Will test again later and see...

hey Hamster, Have had all my gear out prepping for a game next weekend and gave the RPK a quick test fire in the garden.    Something slightly strange is occurring wondered if you had any ideas? when shooting the majority of the rounds go straight and on target but 1 every 20 or so I’d say...

So the macaron and omega arrived today and I quickly dropped them in at lunch time. there seems to be loads more adjustment in the hop now and the fps has gone up again too.  Not sure if it’s because I did the barrel nut up a bit tighter on the CU or the rubber fits better than the prommy?   ...

“spunktrumpet” ?? “While I don't mind the fact that various platforms show Airsoft in a good light and bring new and interesting people to the hobby, this type of shit just makes me want to play less than I already do. Yes you can argue you'll find arseholes in every sport but as a community we...

For some reason one of his videos labelled ‘most terrifying airsoft injury’ popped up on my fb feed once.    had to have a watch. he basically puts his foot down a hole and rips his trousers ? I guess I was hoping for open compound fractures or bunji pit impalement.    I played a legion...

You never know, it could have terrible air seal issues ?‍♂️  i remember long ago having a really heavy spring fitted to a ICS PAR mk3 and locked to semi for a invite only milsim game where DMR could shoot upto 500fps. May as well have been a bolt action because you couldn’t quickly follow up...

You did indeed, my heart sank when I opened it the first time and the middle bulged out ? So I found this amazing v3 gearbox disassembly video on YT which was a massive help, and it pointed out that usually there is a tiny hole in the trigger mech and gb shell but the screw is almost always...

“Sounds like the selector teeth jumped a couple of positions on reassembly, the joys of getting a v3 box into a reciever. Best method is to lie it on its side so gravity hopefully holds it in place for you.“ So you were correct about the selector teeth.    I took the gearbox apart again today...

interesting.  iv always run purple prommys in my mg builds, never had an issue with them before.  I’ll order the maple leaf macron with omega nub and compare performance!    many thanks for all the advice ?

Thanks for the help/advice, I managed to get the gearbox apart last night and have a play around / change the nozzle . Even with a screwdriver inserted to stop the main spring shooting out it wanted to push up where it enters the piston so disturbed the trigger assembly a bit ☹️   I was able...

Thanks for the advice,  had a go at getting the gear box out tonight but came to a screeching halt when I realised my v3 gb has an ebb system and  I couldn’t figure out how to disconnect.  tried to gently prise it off but didn’t want to break it! any ideas?     

I have fitted a shiny new combat union rotary v3 hop chamber with purple prommy in my RPK  but have had significant fps drop with the original factory nozzle.   Like 50-60fps drop so I’m assuming I need to fit the combat union nozzle that comes supplied with the hop unit.  (I didn’t want to...

Gunman eversley Alpha is a cracking woodland site inbetween Basingstoke and farnborough. ucap greenops also a very decent little woodland site that has been extensively upgraded during the recent lockdowns. 

Iv recently fitted a prowin hop unit and purple prommy to my JG RPK, really happy with the range and fps/air seal in this set up.  my only issue came with the ebb constantly knocking the hop arm to off position.  I remedied this by adding a small rubber o ring to the back of the hop arm...

Hey Sebastian,  if you’re in the Portsmouth area depending if you prefer woodland or cqb?  decent woodland site not too far from you (just up the A3 at liphook) is ucap greenops. lovely little woodland site.  As for the x4 optic just use it for ID targets at distance.  I generally watch my...
