If you mean on the thinner part of the nozzle then no, if you mean two either side of it on the flat part of the front of the bolt that don't go all the way through then they're to help remove it 

 

Chuck a photo up if you can 👍

the pair on the outside of the nozzle to help remove it, they go all the way through

Yeah that's not normal, would explain a significant shooting problem as so much of the air would be escaping out of there, rather than through the tip and into the hop/barrel

should the front of a vsr10 bolt have a pair of vent holes besides the hole through the nozzle?

 

seems to me it shouldnt, and the woeful lack of firing seems to agree

Expand  

Where are the holes? on the side of the cylinder or the face of the nozzle?

[Adolf Hamster]

face of the nozzle, like the one in your second pic, except drilled all the way through.

 

plugged them with glue and it now works perfectly, or at least until the glue gets blown out.

 

now to get the f2000 working.......

Can anyone recommend a detailed SAFETY orientated video for wiring Deans connectors to Lipos/AEG's please and thankyou.

[Prisce]

@Duff, just cut 1 wire at a time, solder that on, heatshrink over it, and they do the same with the next one.

Anyone know the OEM of these? https://novritsch.com/product/safetly-glass/

My usual goggles are smith optics... I assure you I'm safety orientated.

They look like Valken V-Tac Sierra goggles like, which are also Dual layer thermal lenses so could be those.

Im not convinced, I have revision locust fan and thermal lens and it’s still not 100% clear and I wipe with various sprays as well, still get droplets to annoy

 

i sometimes have better results with my ESSv12s 

[Duff]

Are there any other pins I need to remove to split the reciever? It doesn't seem to want to budge and don't wanna force it incase I break it.

 

[djben9]

my ICS only has 1, then it swings open, similar to what you have in pic / trying to do

 

maybe a gentle tap as mine are sometimes 'stiff'  () i think due to where the gears stop?

The front receiver pin (just below the threaded portion at the front. Once that's out, pull the charging handle back and then slide the upper forwards while you hold the charging handle.

Anyone know where I can get modify tan bucking and not get raped on the postage?

Yeah I got it off, now I have another issue. Motor isn't cycling/firing, locked in position. Not sure what to do next, tried full auto but nothing.

[djben9]

could be a simple connection issue / damaged cable if no power....other than that my (limited) knowledge has gone now,!!

 

my ASG would look in semi occasionally and it was just a flip to FA and back

Arl lock up.

Remove motor and grip then using a pair of needle nose pliers pull ARL down should hear the gears release.

I just gave it a whack and a wiggle and it's cycling fine again.

Can someone tell me if the little hook and curve catches allow you to snap your mags together so you can flip and reload quick? If not then what the fluqq are they for?

Yea that’s what they’re for, they go side by side so you don’t even have to flip it. 

[Nodnol]

Alright lads, I’m after a bit advice. It’s a pretty trivial question so didn’t want to waste a new thread on it.

 

Is going for Li-Po straight out the gate a bad idea?

 

Once I get on the UKARA database, I’ll hopefully be getting my first AEG/RIF, and it seems 7.4 Li-Po are a far better choice than 8.6’s? I’ve read up balance chargers, storage, fire-proof charging bags, discharge alarms etc etc etc, but is there any reason you WOULDN’T recommend them for a newbie? 

 

The AEG I want comes fitted with Tamiya connectors, but swapping to Deans seems a pretty easy job.

I probably wouldn't bother with Nimh batteries in anything these days, a 7.4 lipo will be fine in pretty much whatever- do the deans switch too as Duff said, only takes a couple of mins or so

Cheers guys. I thought as much, but it’s very easy to get carried away and lose sight of the fact that I’m just starting out. I’m this instance though, it seems a no-brainer.

[Nodnol]

 

Yeah there hasn’t been a question I’ve had I’ve not been able to find an answer to, especially since browsing here. YouTube has been great too.

 

The biggest challenge I’m facing is reigning in my own impatience and magpie-like love of shiny things. I think I’ve got an entire kit list sorted out in my head, but I’m not going to get carried away. Get on UKARA, get my first RIF, then go from there. No point thinking about accessories,  chest plates etc until I’ve developed a “style”, preferences and how I want to use my AEG lmao.
