Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread

Thanks sorry for not replying sooner I completely forgot, also no I managed to fix the slam firing issue by filing down parts of the trigger unit ?

 
Quick two questions from you guys

1) Does anyone know where i can get just the stock for the Amoeba?

2) Could someone measure that action length? This is the length from the centre of the bolt just behind the trigger guard to the centre of the bolt in front of the magwell. It should either be 6.5inches (short action) or 7.35inches (long action).

Image below for reference:

Reason i ask is i like the look of the Amoeba Stock, looks very similar to the Magpul Remington 700 stock except that stock is £300+ from Brownells and only accepts a tapered barrel wheres the Amoeba accepts bull barrels by the look of it and i want to transplant another bolt rifle into it.

TIA

 
In other news, my stubby mag just got through customs along with a weel hop-up adjuster (which is like a religious experience)and AEG hop up bucking that does not fit because I am an idiot  ?. Does anyone know where to get a hop up bucking that will fit and work in the striker

Many thanks

 
The original one is very good for the original barrel. Because that is bridged. If it tears, then the purple Laylax/Prometheus is very good too.

If you switch to an unbridged barrel, than Maple Leaf or any other good VSR compatible bucking with a large contact patch.

Would that bucking be hard enough because I am looking to get a 70-degree bucking

also sorry for my ignorance but what is a bridged or unbridged barrel because I get the feeling that I might be important ?

70 will be too hard in my experience. Go with 60 if you are planning to use it between 450-500 fps

 
So the Prometheus purple will fit in the standard barrel ? Only reason I ask I have bought 2 hop rubbers and neither fitted because of the bridged barrel

 
Sorry, I always mix up the names. For AEG, it's prometheus, for VSR (and the Striker) it's Nine Ball. Yes, the Nine Ball works with the original barrel.

You can cut the bridge off the original barrel but the hole is still very narrow, you might need to enlarge that too for a maple leaf bucking.

 
Holy crap. My new sears arrived yesterday and I just fitted them. Before the nice and shiny sears, the bolt would scrape against the sears and the bolt pull would be a bit shite. Now it is so smooth it is comparable to my mates VSR. Also got a thread adaptor and the whole thing looks so stupid with my tiny little trace unit on it. I love it so much ?

 
Update picture of my striker ?

changed the cheapo high scope mounts to better quality hawke medium mounts to match the hawke scope, put a bespoke flat trigger in and changed the stock and grip. Firing .43s like a dream. Going to finish setting up the scope this week and get to test it on Saturday

not chrono’d on .43s yet but firing .4s at 2.2j

Nice, except for the trigger. This is the best: http://printedairsoft.co.uk/products

Because I make them. :P

But seriously. During the process of designing, I made them with 4 different curvatures and the straightest (which was still not flat) was uncomfortable for me.

I’m actually not too sure on it at the minute, it sits quite far forward. Feels ok to use without gloves but not sure how it’ll be with. Going to game with it on Saturday and see how I get on. Your trigger is for an as02 mines the 01 

 
Do you guys know if there is any way to get the spiral outer barrel for the AS01 on a rifle when it has the action army hop up chamber installed? because I am starting to think that I will need to get a refund
