The Church of Daytona Gun

Yeh, so in that first pictures you have a QD point - you don't want that. I will grab a picture of mine and put it below.

For the line out of the grip: Just sure it up a bit but bear in mind that you cannot put any sleeve/spring/shrink wrap so far through that it reaches that machine screw as it won't pass through (as I'm sure you can see). In addition, an issue I had was the compression fitting where the macro line meets the engine itself. Just make sure it's done up well but don't go too hard at it with pliers as you can deform the metal easily. I sealed mine off with pneumatic sealant for good measure but obviously make sure that doesn't go anywhere but the threads its supposed to be on.

Will PM you about the buckings later today. I think I have some Delrin crush rings too (which are a decent idea to do right off the bat).

Sorry for the poor quality. Grim day so the ISO rating went through the roof and distorted everything :/

Brill, thanks prof,

Think I'm starting to get the gist o this now.

The install and slight body modifications I think I'm good with, I just need to learn a bit more about the cylinders, lines, connectors etc. What is the threaded connection called that I need to change on the regulator? So I can search and purchase one.

Your pics look great, what did you wrap your macro line with?

 
Looks like a spring with some heat shrink. Also seen some guys notch the back of the pistol grip sometimes rather than come straight out the bottom?

 
Cylinders? Where we're going we don't need cylinders! Or did you mean the bottles/fill tanks/Scuba cylinders?

Er, you might need to buy a new line as you bought one with a double QD and removing the male QD on the line can be tricky. http://www.beestingairsoft.com/product/beestingamped-line/ - select 'single quick disconnect'. Maybe sell your other one or keep it for use later on with another gat? Not sure as the SFR only has one outlet valve so you can't really run a pistol without a splitter so that second line might be worth getting rid of.

You don't need to change a connector on the regulator - you just need that single-QD line and it'll come with a thread on one end that goes straight into the regulator. You can use an adjustable spanner to remove the female one you currently have on there in the picture to expose the thread that the line will go in to. The issue with QDs is they are much more narrow than the line so restrict airflow. Keeping them to a minimum is a must.

The macro and line are EU QDs, not US (like on Beesting and most other places). It was a bit of a pain to do, but ultimately gives me about 1.5mm wider bore at the QD because our European QDs - though much less common in airsoft - are more optimally designed than US ones. It's a compression fitting that came with a spring from HPAirsoft: http://hpairsoft.eu/gb/hoses-connectors-accessories/40-waz-6mm.html

I think I have one spare if you want one, but you need an EU-spec line too: http://hpairsoft.eu/gb/hoses-connectors-accessories/38-widebore-hose-eu.html

I then added shrink-wrap just to make it less shiny and to stop stuff getting close to that macro line. It's just standard shrink-wrap, not adhesive.

A lot of people route through the back of the grip because getting it through the bottom there is really quite hard. Not sure which is better as I've not tried both, but rear seems to work fine so I guess just take your pick.

Gotcha!

Great, except bee sting website not loading on any of my devices atm. I'll stick the laptop on when I get home.

I managed to get the rdline reg and 90/4500 ninja tank from a guy who was running it on a P* so guessed I would need to change the line and tank reg.

Cylinder - scuba tank

Filling loop - scuba tank- bottle

;)

 
What's a 'filling loop'? :S

found a valken air rig mini quick detach on Blackblitz website, will add one of them to the order :)

In stock , unlike virtually everything on the beesting website!

 
Yep, looks like what you want.

 
Real impressed with Justpaintball, my V2 reg arrived this morning after ordering late Thursday night. I got multiple emails advising on order process and free shipping effectively arrived next day. Where as beesting......have taken my money but no email to confirm order as yet : / ordered both parts at same time.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Just paintball are great, thats where the pyro comes from for the forum games. Cheapest deal we could get and the service is spot on.
 
Yup. I've bought a few things from them since then too. Certainly unbeatable on bulk pyro so far. I shopped round a lot for that first order.
