    Optimising standard aeg?

    Without changing a few parts there is only so much you can do. Surely a complete gearbox cleanup, (proper) reshim and relube will help with sound, rate of fire and general consistency but it's marginal. A better hop rubber will allow you to use heavier BBs like 0.28s and experience a...

    Is Discord a terrible alternative to forums or am I just using it wrong

    Well it's up to the server owner/mod, there are ways to make locked threads with guides and stuff like this, have threads dedicated to pictures/videos and anything in between. I'd stay away from huge servers like Airsoft International, that place is an absolute shithole and everyone there is...

    AR AEG Mags - Best weight:capacity ratio

    A bit late to the pary, but Lonex flash mags are your best bet. I recently replaced the ones i bought in 2016, they're still working after almost 10 years of absolute neglect (leaving them with springs compressed for weeks, they're rusty to all fuck) but never skipped a beat. 360 round...

    Cyma Aks-74u build list help

    Yes, as long as it isn't some stupid "high speed" motor. By high speed I mean those 40k+ neodymium motors, they're overly expensive for what they are and very limiting in upgrade routes. Usually it's the opposite, especially when a weak motor is trying to pull a somewhat stiff spring. Care to...

    Ever had a hop unit that doesn't fit?

    Same, I still have it (old version, silver with red wheel) and it wouldn't fit any of the AEGs I had at the time... Be careful when picking hop units, due to tolerances and shit you may need a different nozzle or to make a few spacers.

    Gearbox piston jam in compressed position

    Stock piston? I'd check for damage around the back of the piston body, i suspect what happens is that the piston jams itself onto the spring guide, or that the spring somehow stretches itself over the spring guide and subsequently jams the piston. I've seen this happen a couple of times and...

    Battery compatibility for Specna Arms Edge 2.0 X-series

    11.1v for me, stock performance is anaemic at best. I say do NOT get the pdw stock version, it's heavy and has no advantage over a regular stock except for looks. Get the regular and swap the stock for a stubby fixed one, so you can run whatever battery you want.

    AK to NATO muzzle device adapters - Curious to how many people would be interested.

    It was referred to the OP, who happens to have "lct ak105" written on his profile.. He could also source another barrel and have the m14 ccw thread cut on the existing 24mm

    AK to NATO muzzle device adapters - Curious to how many people would be interested.

    The 24mm CW thread on the Cyma AKSU is just a ring that threads onto the barrel's actual 14mm ccw thread. Here's mine with different muzzle devices, all 14mm ccw Although I see you have an LCT, in that case I don't think yours can accept 14mm ccw stuff natively...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Got a notification from tridos so bought a few things: 1x NaMech Flux trigger; 1x Mk23 TDC adjustment key (that threads into the LAM unit hole on the trigger guard); 2x AAP upper lock buttons in red; 1x AAP red mag release + stronger spring kit; 1x HPA threaded cap; 4x UV-5R protective...

    Vsr upgraded trigger.

    Out of luck, all the 90° triggers I've seen for VSRs run about €100 give or take. Springer Custom has a very neat "budget" trigger, on the other end of the spectrum Sodium (NA-Mech) makes a supposedly god tier magnetic trigger that isn't that much more expensive than other offerings (bought one...

    Cyma Aks-74u build list help

    If going 16:1 or 12:1 I would suggest to use helical gears. The reason is that 16/12 spurs have a weird tooth profile that tends to wear bevel gears much faster than 18/13 ratio gears, while helicals have dedicated bevel/spur gears for those particular ratios. My Cyma Ak runs on: BOB (box...

    Specna arms M4 trigger issue

    That's the normal mechanical trigger operation, experienced the same "issue" in our rental guns. What I believe happens is that by pulling the trigger softly and slowly, the gun cycles but the cutoff lever cannot release the trigger trolley, effectively letting off more than one shot per pull...
