A Noobs HPA Engine Build - My Wondrous Journey

Where have you run your FCU, into the stock?

On my first P* I cut out the stock same as people do when they run lipo's in the tube.

It's really annoying the FCU cable is so short and theres not enough give to push it into tube, I'm worried I'll break it lol

So what I've done is upgraded my wire harness to the 18" cable but really didn't need it but still using it, ran it into the buffer tube hooked it to the FCU and folded it back into the buffer tube. Then using a battery extension cable like what I sent to you I plugged that into the FCU and ran it into the stock. So now the only bit I move is he battery. FCU is nice and safe.

I suppose once you've set it up once, you'll rarely have to touch it again.

Where did you get your stock from? I ordered a few bits from airsoft peak 4 days ago, I've yet to have an email or be told it's dispatched I ordered the same charging handle as you I think was about $9.90 lol

Yeah exactly once you've got it setup right then it shouldn't need to be taken out. My stock came from Tiger111HK for £65 plus postage. There's a couple of UK sellers but they are £100 plus. After receiving it I found out Fubar sell a clone for like £30 or something.

Yeah AP have been slow lately, it took them 6 days to dispatch my charging handle.

So just a small update for people.

My scope has turned up, but still waiting on the parts from Airsoft Peak.

I had a rep from P* speak to me and they saw this thread and my two builds, they liked the guns and were grateful I did the guide. On the back of this we ended up speaking about performance and issues, I mentioned I was frustrated about the length of the FCU cable and they offered to send me one of each of my builds both of which are 5" longer than the standard.

Brilliant customer service, really nice guys. Thanks Rodd, you did P* justice!!

That's very nice of them. Good to see they monitor these places.

So another update, I've added a silencer, VK SHort dot, butterfly charging handle, paracord on the rail, PSG-1 style grip turned up, drilled it out and ran the line through.

Waiting on my extended FCU harness to arrive so I can run a different stock.

What was the final weight of the system without the hose, tank or regulator?

I'm not sure fella, it's fairly light though
