Guest PT247 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 That is a relief, I've seen the mess a badly assembled fire extinguisher can make when assembled incorrectly and pressurised and they are far lower pressures. CO2 can still be dangerous so still please be careful (bulbs are a lot safer though). Please refer back to your other threads you started about upgrading a VSR for information as we have covered this all before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacarathe Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Mos, when you say "accurate", do you mean "accurate when you shoot it", or "accurate when you shoot it clamped into a vice"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Mos, when you say "accurate", do you mean "accurate when you shoot it", or "accurate when you shoot it clamped into a vice"?It was relatively accurate at 60 metres, during a game. Although not amazingly accurate. But was happy to play with, got it through a window the size of 4 human heads every time which was about 50-60 metres away. Not bad, but can be improved. So yes, accurate when using without a vice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I feel enlightened. I came across a superb video to do with buckings and barrels with the VSR 10 series rifles. Although, the video on a whole informed the viewer on hop up and barrel related articles. And basically, the reason why you have to have a non bridged barrel for the maple leaf bucking is to do with the internal nub area bit goes to the end of the bucking, so with a bridged barrel it would not be correct, supposedly it would not be right. And something would go wrong. The concave nub that you would use with the maple leaf autobot is so that the internal nub of the bucking gets equal applied pressure all over. The internal nub is being pushed from its whole surface sort of thing - you get me? Now, you get the AA unit because it does good things, and it houses after market nubs. Also has a better air seal, as well as doing the TDC mod. If the stock VSR barrel happens to be bridged that's bad. And we either get a non bridged one, or I believe we can file the bridge off, or whatever it takes to remove this bridge. What would you recommend? I finally have understood the barrel and hop area. Thank you all. EDIT: I didn't want to go and buy some items when I didn't know the function of it all, and how it actually works, along with compatibility.

Guest PT247 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I have never had any issues using a bridged barrel... The PDI barrels are bridged (which I have in mine). But yes, you need to use a bucking that suits either a bridged or non bridged barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Samurai Posted November 21, 2016 Supporters Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yes you can cut the bridge from a bridged barrel, but you need to be extra super careful not to scratch other parts of the barrel and finish the cut nicely. It needs good DIY skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 chop the thumb and index finger off on the right hand glove if you struggle with magazine changes. Ah right, sounds a clever idea.

I got by not being able to change mags while wearing gloves lol If you don't like to chop a new pair of gloves you could always buy a cheap pair of fingerless gloves and just wear the right one along with the full fingered left! :-) You might not need to, could have just been me being spethial needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I'll probably cut off the top bit of the pointy finger and thumb, as you say. General grip is what I'm after, I had a pair of woollen gloves, and I was sliding all over the place, I had no grip over the gun whatsoever. Not mentioning how the wool keeps all the heat and moisture inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 So I'm faced with options. I'm going to open my gun up at the weekend see if the barrel is bridged or non bridged - sadly I can't google for the answer as it changes with each batch of product. Which is frustrating. If the gun is non bridged, we go down the AA unit Maple leaf bucking (which will only fit in a non bridged barrel) and concave shape nub. If it is bridged, we can either manually remove the bridge (not a favourable option), or go with an AEG bucking I imagine - AEG buckings are for non bridged aren't they? One question, is the AA unit only for non bridged bucking styles or does it accept AEG buckings and bridged barrels - 90% sure it does but would like some confirmation. So I'm hoping it will be non bridged, but we will see. If it is bridged I'll have to go down the AEG bucking route, I'm not buying a barrel. I am sure people have done sniper rifles with AEG bucking set ups. Off the top of my head, proffrink - didn't you do this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 You WILL have a bridged barrel on a new TM VSR. They take VSR buckings but not all as the bridge can interfere with some. You should use VSR buckings in the Action Army hop chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should use VSR buckings in the Action Army hop chamber. Ah, well I'm sure you know, but it does change periodically. But thank you I'll take your word for it. So should the maple leaf autobot bucking fit into a bridged barrel? If you've had experience, or if anyone has, could you let me know? Thank you.

Guest PT247 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 the bucking does not fit in a barrel, the barrel fits in the bucking.... but WRT the Autobot bucking , as said before, it does not work with a bridged barrel. I also struggled to get the NineBall purple bucking in the AA chamber. I have previously suggested that you stick with the TM bucking as it works fine (and also fits in the AA chamber.The AA chamber comes with it's own nub. The TM barrel is fine but you possibly should upgrade to either a PDI 6.05 or a Laylax 6.03 VSR cut barrel, both are bridged, both are better than the TM.

Oh, my bad. That's cool that the AA hop unit comes with a nub, I'll just chuck that in. A barrel would be nice but for right now, probably not. Also a non bridged barrel + maple leaf bucking would also be nice, pretty much heard REALLY good things about that. If I'm right in saying so, that is pretty much the best you can get hop-wise, with the AA unit obviously?... Anyways thank you very much PT, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Also, I'm not going to purchase a non bridged barrel to house the maple leaf bucking, I'll just run the stock barrel (bridged) with stock bucking and AA hop unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
