upgrading ares a007

[Elts7]

morning all.

just looking for advice on what i van do to improve my stubby m4.

the size is perfect in which is why i want upgrade it im finding the grouping and accuracy isnt great so im assuming i want to change the hop and possibly the unit?

Stick in a PDI 6.05 or Prometheus 6.03 barrel and try a Prowin hop unit. PTFE tape around the bucking to improve the airseal. What joules is it kicking out?

 

[Elts7]

its 280 i think on .2s

You are gonna want a bit more fps too then so a new spring once you have sorted out the airseal and barrel

thanks what hop style would you reccomend?

 

[PT247]

you mean like r-hop etc?

I'd go with a flat hop, easier to set up than the r-hop and very similar results.

okay much appreciated pal

as the barrel in it is only 140 long would i be able to cut it down or would i get a longer one and add a silencer or something?

 

[PT247]

I thought you said you were happy with the size of the gun? Why shorten it or make it longer?

And as I said before, buy a better barrel:

Stick in a PDI 6.05 or Prometheus 6.03 barrel and try a Prowin hop unit. PTFE tape around the bucking to improve the airseal.
