TM MK23 What have you done to yours?

So I installed a crazy jet barrel, bucking and ikey (exactly the same @Jedi_Master put in the what have you bought thread) although I went for a longer barrel (230mm). Was all a bit fiddly and had to drill out the outer barrel which sh*t me up but was pretty simple in all honestly.
It shoots, not very straight but I have ordered some heavy bbs and have a TDC on there so once I can get outdoors on sunday I shall set the hop to get it as straight and accurate as possible.
I just hope its not too hot to use in the mall, or that I end up on sunday shooting at 100fps
This is the most I have ever done to one of my own guns internally so am a little apprehensive.

Let us know how you find it @Albiscuit, I get 70m accurate out of mine with the TDC mod and .43s measured on a site range, got the other bits already but I can't have them till Christmas... Apparently I'm impossible to buy presents for so everything I have bought has been confiscated 
I do find that firing the heavier BBs the travel time is a lot longer than I'd like, I think I may settle on .36s for best of both or just lump it and deal with the slow travel with .45s.

Totally forgot to update, Took the MK23 to Battle lakes as mentioned and had nothing but problems with the mags venting (both the gas and mags were left in the car boot overnight so were likely too cold)
Used the TM at the Mall and saw it was massively overhopping. Fiddled with the TDC and got it better but dropped and lost the worlds smallest Allen key.
Tried using it last skirmish and the few shots I did manage (mags were playing up again, may have been the cold, but now 2 of my three leak so need to sort them) the accuracy was shite again.
Had a convo with someone at The Mall who is a tech/gunsmith and is convinced the TDC mod is rubbish and not trustworthy so I plan on taking it off for my next game and seeing if there is an improvement.
In hindsight playing mostly CQB I didnt need it on and think it will work better without.
Obviously it may be something else I have done which has messed it up a little but my first call is removing the TDC and going from there.
Now to sort my bloody leaky mags
Oh and my ASG is not shooting properly either now, but cant work that out till I sort mags to use.

I can turn the hop completely off with my TDC modded MK23 and it still somehow overhops anything under .4 lol. Yet too see its accuracy though as I haven't skirmished it yet.
Not too sure what the previous owner did to it but I mean, it shoots waaaaay past the 20m min engagement distance with .4s so can't complain too much lol ( other than the price of .4s! )

Right, I've thought about it, but I'm gonna ask a possibly noob question (I am still new after all!....)
Why do people shoot heavy bb's in these pistols? I've been putting my normal .25's in and can easily get 35m or so, accurate enough to hit someone in the chest. It probably does shoot further with reasonable accuracy, but that is about the limit of my eye sight until I get soft contact lenses!

I am with you on this tbh, I have no idea why people put heavy bbs in these, I just know that they do lol, and as such they do get some incredible range. Maybe someone can explain the reasoning lol.
I mean, I'm keeping it like this purely so I know I can hit someone far out while keeping quiet lol. But no idea why the common thing is using heavy bbs... (they are really really expensive afterall, looking at £10+ for 1000 .4s)

Oh so it is literally more for range than any other reason lol. Mines all laylax internals and an action army hop... No idea who the TDC is made by though.
Yes. Basically it’s the ability to engage people at AEG ranges quickly. Pistols give you that MED that you need because of sniper limits, but are ineffective past 20m generally against someone with an AEG. With the mods you can accurately (and importantly quickly) engage someone within that 20-50m range where you may not have the time to look down the scope and take a precise shot.
Mine is bog standard and will probably remain that way until something goes wrong with it 
. When specsaver finally get the right lenses in, I'll see if I can actually see a BB at 40+m. Until then, I'll stick to creeping forward or using a scope

Didn't even think about the fact that AEGs obviously can reach you within 50m lol. Makes a whole lot of sense now. And does justify the price of the bbs when I think about it. It is definitely above a standard gbb, that's for sure. Cant wait to actually skirmish it now lol
I also find that the added weight gives a heavier hit especially at distance when the bb has slowed down . You can hit someone with a .20 and they can possably have an arguement that they didnt feel it. With a .3 or .4 then you know they are taking the mick
@Prisce Hadron designs TDC mod, maple leaf crazy jet barrel. 150mm I believe. It doesn’t protrude out of the barrel, but you do have to widen the outer at the tip. Maple leaf 50D bucking. I always get autobot and decepticon mixed up. It’s the one with the single point. And a maple leaf I key. Runs propane/green gas and .43 asg accuracy international bb’s, but I’m still experimenting
