I'm getting the ARES M16 RIS for my M16 soon, by soon, I mean within the next two weeks or so. Going to stick with the A3 receiver and full auto though, cheaper option..Maybe get your M14 up to DMR spec then. What FPS are you trying to get it to?

As for sniper hop rubbers, I have no idea. I've never used any, swapped my sniper out for AEG ones pretty much as soon as I got it.

I've heard FireFly hop rubbers are very good though.. What rubber do you have at the moment?

My M14 chrono'd at about 390 fps on Sunday, I want it up to at least 425. I imagine it's got an M120 spring fitted at the moment, so I figure an M130 or 140 won't put too much strain on the gears. Especially if I'm only using semi, what do you think?

Regarding my L85, at moment I've married a sniper barrel and an AEG hop rubber and unit so nothing really fits right. I can't change the unit unfortunately as there is no alternative for the ICS L85, but I can buy a hop rubber that will suit the barrel better. Sniper barrels have a much narrower hole cut for the hop rubber to poke though so my AEG rubber doesn't really work properly.

I know that sniper hop rubbers will likely have bits on them that stick outwards as well as in and that will create problems, but I have this amazing little thing called a scalpe knife lol.

I'll have a look at firefly rubbers, I've heard good things about them as well, do you know who sells them?

 

[Liam Porter]

You might want to replace the cut off lever, or whatever it's called. They seem to break/wear down often and fast on M14s, especially at a higher FPS and using semi only.

Fire Support have a selection of FireFly rubbers: http://www.fire-support.co.uk/category.php...4&submit=Go

I haven't looked elsewhere though.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

What's the difference between hard and soft rubbers? I never really understood.

I think I'll leave the cut off lever until it breaks, that's the thing that allows semi to be possible right? So when the gun starts shooting auto I know it needs sorting. That's pretty straight forward.

I think I'll go for an M130 spring to keep the stress of the set up down, that ought to let me use it at a larger number of sites as well.

 

[Liam Porter]

Hard rubbers are for higher FPS, soft for lower FPS I think. Although, I use a soft rubber in my sniper. Also, soft are easier to install.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Yeah I just read up on it, apparently hard rubbers are just more resistant and last longer if you're running a high fps set up. I think I'll go for the soft fire fly rubber from FS.

I've been looking at different nubs as well and the H nub looks like it might be worth getting, but paying £6 + delivery for one seems ridiculous. Any thoughts on how to make one out of something?

 

[Liam Porter]

Part of the ink tube of a pen? Use something to squash it into shape? It's what I use in my sniper :L

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Yeah I'm using an ink tube as it is, squashing it isn't a bad idea.

I might just sand it down into shape. Though I might not need to bother; the bucking I've just ordered is a V shape or something, so I don't know if an H nub would even make any difference...?

 

[Liam Porter]

No idea about that.. I know that the MadBull X type nub provides far too much hop on my sniper, .40s literally go straight up and land on me..

But then it is designed for AEGs, so maybe similarly shaped nub wouldn't be a bad idea.

Also, I tried using an ink tube nub in my M4 once, and it was too hard and when it shot, the first BB would jam, then two would fire off. And they'd push the hop off as it shot..

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

The hop in my L85 is seriously weird, 'cos looking down the barrel anyone would assume that the hop wasn't even on, but if you hold the gun at any non-vertical angle, then the shots veer off to that side and if you hold the gun sideways or upside down and shoot then it looks like hop is about as on as it's possible to be.

I think maybe the twist barrel I've got in it might somehow create the effects of a hop unit even when the hop isn't engaged.

Which really makes it sound pointless me having ordered that fire fly bucking lol but I'm sure it'll help in some way or another.

I'll try the H nub idea with my M16 once I've got the new spring in it.

 

[Liam Porter]

Maybe it's magic!

 

[Liam Porter]

Day off from Sixth Form because my friend forgot to pick me up..

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Whut? Couldn't you get the bus or walk or something?

 

[Liam Porter]

I only had two lessons, and if I walked they would have been over by the time I got there. And I had no money for the bus, and my bank card's useless because I snapped it.. waiting for a new one :L. So it's been a day off playing BF3 and listening to The Streets..

Watched the Lion King and everybody enjoyed the experience, which was good.

Tried to show my girlfriend the pornographic Twilight spoof and she didn't look amused, which was bad.

Overall, a fairly neutral cinematic experience.

Frankly, I'm not entirely sure what's NOT amazing about vampire incest...

Someone was sacrificing animals tonight then in order to reverse that failure..
