paints paint.....red is ok , even G&G use red on one of their limited editions now

Sorry posted quick on phone last night, i have the ICS CXP UK1, great little RIF, and my first. Not done anything to it yet. Didnt come with battery / charger, but got it wired for deans and picked up some lipos and charger as well, all from firesupport, went in their to look at others and came out with it. Use ICS mid and low caps so no mag issues. Not sure about what other makes to use that work well, this is the all metal version

Nice slick. How did the hop unit crack? Did you have it long before that happened? Funnily enough I was too interested in possibly getting a 6.03 mad u'll longer inner barrel (bout 100mm longer) and a short supressor to hide it. Could you tell me where you got the upgrade parts and what they were?

Didn't buy the ics new, put about 3000 rounds through and then serviced, put a new hop spring. All of a sudden the gun became too hot to use and chrono'ed at over 360fps with 0.2g. The hop then cracked, probably too much stress caused by new spring.

Bought a new ics metal hop (ma-215) and works better than before! Used to have a few feed issues on semi but now no longer! The silencer I believe is generic 14 ccw, considering buying a tracer unit as I do skirmish in the dark. If on CQB i run an Eotech rep holo sight.

The mosfet is a basic one but I intend to get a higher spec one that allows me to lock to semi only (ie DMR scenarios) and other features such as 3 burst etc. With the DMR function I will buy a secondary upper gearbox with a higher spring rate to get me to 450 fps. I run 7.4 lipos, 2 will easily last the day but carry 3 just in case. I use an overlander balance charger (rc6-vsp) which is great use it for everything, RC cars, drones, power tools, automotive batts!

Barrel wise not really looked into it too much but as I have the silencer I can increase the length a few inches, probs get a 6.03. Currently using 0.2g BB but will start using 0.25s

So far bought my bits and bobs off AK2M4 (a member here) and Firesupport

Awesome mate. Thanks for the advice. Once I've had the gun for a bit and gotten used to it and stuff I'll def be looking into some upgrades like yourself

As slick found, the standard plastic hop units on ICS guns have a habit of breaking or completely shattering. This weekend we had 3 ICS guns in bits because the hops were broken.

Fire Support sell a metal hop unit (I think it's £18 compared to £15 for the plastic one) be prepared to replace the hop with one of those at some point down the line.

ICS guns can be a bit picky with mags as well, some mags will only feed if you hold them forward so either buy ICS mags or check mags on full auto first before you buy them. I found the new metal mid/low caps from Nuprol work OK but G&G mags tend to missed.

Cheers for the great info Gunman! Im hoping the gun would be OK for a few months with stock parts before I start upgrading internals as I want to familiarise myself with the thing before I start upgrading and also need to wait until payday before shelling out more dolla lol

Yep I remember one of them on Sunday, luckily Doug played with mine explaining a few bits and was happy to see I had metal hop units on both my ICS RIFs

 

[Aliveinlights]

Nice! What ics models you got mate? Mine is an ics-160 plastic version
