Shaving 5-6fps off an AEG

[AshOnSnow]

The gear with the cam that acts on the hop arm should have a spring steel retainer on the back side of the shaft where it emerges from the other side of the hop. The intermediate gear should have a flange on the face against the hop which stops it moving past the adjuster wheel, which should have a screw through the middle holding it to the hop. If it's just the adjuster wheel that's loose then taking it off and putting a smear of silicone on the back, allowing it to fully cure before reinstalling it can help add a bit of friction between the wheel and the hop. Some M4 hops have an O ring behind the adjuster to do exactly the same job.

Alternatively... ASG/ Lonex hop unit. Proper job.

 Yeah I'm gonna get someone to do it for me then.

Or photos and I'm sure we can talk /type you through it. Have some faith in yourself.

I'll give it a go.

But bear in mind, everything I touch tends to break. I agreed to put some shelves up for my nan once, dropped the drill getting out the car and smashed it. 

Will probably open up a thread in the tech help later on today, maybe add a live stream.

Taiwan Gun are a bit crap when it comes to hot guns.  I bought a JG P90 off them a couple weeks back and requested it be downgraded from 400 fps to 350 fps.  This is something I had contacted them about before purchasing and they said just put it in the additional comments section and they'd sort it.

The gun showed up with a certificated that showed the first 10 shots were around 405 fps.  I e-mailed them and they said they put the wrong certificate in the box but it had been downgraded.  So I bought a chrono off amazon and when I tested it I got upwards of 410 fps.

I had to go to a local shop the day before playing, get an m100 spring and realise it was too big to fit the gun the night before I was supposed to use it.  Then chop a few coils off it with a wire cutter and squash it in, tested at 340 fps.  I got lucky.

Bugger.

I ordered the SP100 spring at the same time as the rest of the stuff, so at least I know what spring they put in. Unfortunately, with the tightbore it's still slightly over.
