Can't get fps over 320fps

such is the way with airsoft, tolerances are the key.

Gets very frustrating at times but I love it at the same time

indeed, it's one of the reasons a gun made of nominally very good parts might not perform so well. as duck says the best we can hope for is "compatible ish"

well done, fingers crossed & all that...

been there many many many times etc...

any small tiny tiny threads of knowledge or wisdom, I might have gained has been the direct result of fuck up after fuck up

and STILL weird shit happens at times even despite all the best planning & checking all shit twice over

fucking poxy toy gun shite at times - but live n learn as they say

Even though these small things can sometimes frustrate the hell out of us, it's a bloody accomplishment when a plan cones together and one feels a sense of self satisfaction and achievement when you figure it out. Yes it's easy to send it off to a tech if you so wish but where's the fun in that?

Sounds like you've covered a lot of bases with all the parts.

Are we sure it's definitely an SP100 and not an incorrectly bagged SP90?
@ak2m4 - was it guarder springs that came in incorrectly rated recently?

Sorry only just seen this, been busy buying up the world's supply of SHS pistons ?

Guarder sp100's measure super high, around M110 power so 370 ish with 0.2g bb whilst the sp90 is generally spot on 310 ish with 0.2g bb.  I guess so many different countries with different power requirements this is what works for them.

pmsl - yeah them cardboard tubes from all them toilet rolls make shit (excuse the pun)

ahem... them cardboard tubes from all them toilet rolls make shit pistons I just found out

"crappy" compression doesn't even begin to describe the results:

good ol' SHS or Cyma metal rack pistons if SHS's are a bit tight & bind - great good value stuff

I keep telling missus I should get more guns - just in case, but she ain't having none of it

I totally agree, also financially, you have the postage costs, parts costs, labor etc... All for a £200 toy gun. I'd rather have days of headaches and get that satisfaction. It's running brilliant now, couldn't ask for more.
