Mos' TM VSR upgrade logs

[Mos]

A concave nub is needed for Maple Leaf Buckings in general

oh

RIP biro mod ;(

 

[Hef Legend]

if you're feeling adventurous, you could always try the Sugru mod

Isn't that like a substitute for the r hop mod?

Maybe, but probably not. Just looking to get the simple stuff down. Although looks quite fun.

It uses something which is like play dough?

Ah, okay, nice.

AA unit + maple leaf hard degree bucking - and I have the stock TM VSR10 barrel, so that will be non-bridged. I think.

So if I read your comment correctly, a concave nub is only necessary if you had a bridged barrel?

Otherwise it will just be a AA Unit and Maple Leaf bucking

Thanks Samurai

The TM VSR barrel IS bridged, and I'm very sure you have been told this many times before.

oh

RIP biro mod ;(

When you change hop units you don't need the biro mod as you are not using the TM arm.

I am bewildered that you STILL have not managed to look at your inner barrel even though you have done the biro mod! You have been talking about upgrading this gun in numerous threads over many months now. Stop talking about upgrading it and actually bloody upgrade it already. We have all spoon fed you info over and over, you have spent a wedge of money on an SDIK kit and gone HPA but have no clue about the internals of your gun, are you even safe to have a bottle of air pressurised to 3500psi? HPA is potentially a bomb in the wrong hands and I am very worried that you are going to hurt yourself or someone around you through lack of knowledge or ability to understand even very simple things. Please be careful.

Ok, so the TM barrel is bridged.

And all that means is that the window on the barrel is sort of cut off, and not open.

I have been talking about upgrading it for a while, but I can't, as I'm 14 and I don't have the type of parents that will just buy me stuff - a good thing, money doesn't grow on trees, and I don't want to be brought up like that.

I can't just attain money, it's a slow process. Also, I'm using CO2, not HPA through the sole reason that it is a potential bomb + its heavy, I have nowhere to store.

I was reading that VSR barrels were non bridged, yes I should know anyway. But I don't have too much free time..

 

[PT247]

That is a relief, I've seen the mess a badly assembled fire extinguisher can make when assembled incorrectly and pressurised and they are far lower pressures.

CO2 can still be dangerous so still please be careful (bulbs are a lot safer though).

Please refer back to your other threads you started about upgrading a VSR for information as we have covered this all before.

 

[PT247]

Double post sorry

Mos, when you say "accurate", do you mean "accurate when you shoot it", or "accurate when you shoot it clamped into a vice"?

It was relatively accurate at 60 metres, during a game.
Although not amazingly accurate. But was happy to play with, got it through a window the size of 4 human heads every time which was about 50-60 metres away.

Not bad, but can be improved.

So yes, accurate when using without a vice

 

[Mos]

I feel enlightened.

I came across a superb video to do with buckings and barrels with the VSR 10 series rifles. Although, the video on a whole informed the viewer on hop up and barrel related articles.

And basically, the reason why you have to have a non bridged barrel for the maple leaf bucking is to do with the internal nub area bit goes to the end of the bucking, so with a bridged barrel it would not be correct, supposedly it would not be right. And something would go wrong.

The concave nub that you would use with the maple leaf autobot is so that the internal nub of the bucking gets equal applied pressure all over. The internal nub is being pushed from its whole surface sort of thing - you get me?

Now, you get the AA unit because it does good things, and it houses after market nubs. Also has a better air seal, as well as doing the TDC mod.

If the stock VSR barrel happens to be bridged that's bad. And we either get a non bridged one, or I believe we can file the bridge off, or whatever it takes to remove this bridge. What would you recommend?

I finally have understood the barrel and hop area. Thank you all.

EDIT: I didn't want to go and buy some items when I didn't know the function of it all, and how it actually works, along with compatibility.

I have never had any issues using a bridged barrel... The PDI barrels are bridged (which I have in mine).

But yes, you need to use a bucking that suits either a bridged or non bridged barrel.

Yeah, I couldn't see any issues anyways. Only if you've got the wrong bucking setup for the barrel.

Yes you can cut the bridge from a bridged barrel, but you need to be extra super careful not to scratch other parts of the barrel and finish the cut nicely. It needs good DIY skills.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I probably wouldn't do the job.

Luckily I have acquired someone who's very good with tools and DIY stuff etc..

a brother.

Anyways, I'm going to buy a grippy pair of gloves and a pistol mag speed loader

 

[PT247]

chop the thumb and index finger off on the right hand glove if you struggle with magazine changes.

Ah right, sounds a clever idea.

You get that idea of off house gamers?

Nevertheless, will do.

I got by not being able to change mags while wearing gloves lol

If you don't like to chop a new pair of gloves you could always buy a cheap pair of fingerless gloves and just wear the right one along with the full fingered left! You might not need to, could have just been me being spethial needs

Aha. Fair enough, I'll probably cut off the top bit of the pointy finger and thumb, as you say.

General grip is what I'm after, I had a pair of woollen gloves, and I was sliding all over the place, I had no grip over the gun whatsoever. Not mentioning how the wool keeps all the heat and moisture inside.

 

[Hangtight]

If I can tie my laces wearing Mechanix Vents, then you shouldn't have any trouble changing mags!
