AshOnSnow Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just bought an M4A3 off TaiwanGun - CM.007. Im hoping that it'll stand the test of time quite well for a £140 full metal AEG - there seem to be a few upgraded internals so it shoots 420fps out the box, they're fitting a guarder SP100 spring and 6.03 steel inner barrel for me before shipping it out. Will switching to a lower power spring and knocking 100fps off it help reliability dramatically? Just occurs to me there will be less stress on the system as a whole. Will it increase ROF?

Will it increase ROF? a couple of rounds - tbh probably need to put in a Guarder SP90/95 Their springs are a bit strong for their rating.... SP100 does not mean the same as a M100 some say they chrono & rate their springs on 0.25's & why their springs are higher also the barrel is a decent length & if a tbb is also fitted then that can creep it up a smidge ooh now you are worried - I'm sure TWG will drop in a spring to bring it within the tolerance (they probably would drop in a sp90 me thinks) think they know what is what roughly before they chrono it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshOnSnow Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Chose SP100 because it was rated for 330 fps. Figured the tightbore would end up pushing it into 340-350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't use the SP100 or tightbore, I think they just cut down the existing spring, or as you say, put in their "usual" spring. Quite a lot of variation, so I don't think the spring quality was up to much. Anyway, I sent it straight into the techies at Stevenage who've fitted the tightbore, the SP100 and with the hop up in it shoots bang on 350 (i think one test shot did 351 they said, but I'm not worried about that), and far more consistent - within 3fps. What I did notice however is that the rail system on the front is actually in 4 separate sections and there's a little bit of wobble (apart from that, the guns really solid), I think they've tightened that up too. Going to nip out and pick it up tomorrow, can't wait to shoot it for the first time! Also impressed with the cheapo EOTech clone I bought with it. Razor sharp and crystal clear, came with both a screw type and quick release type mounting screw, the green setting is super bright. Doesn't glow up from the front either like some of them do. Feels rock solid. Unfortunately, UPS gone screwed up and delivered 3 days late, so I missed the skirmish on Wednesday night which I was looking forward to. Night games are rare and lots of fun. Got to wait until the 16th until the next skirmish. Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 1, 2017 Supporters Share Posted April 1, 2017 ooh night games - you could of bought a tracer for about £18: http://www.taiwangun.com/en/silencers/illumination-silencer-black?from=listing&campaign-id=19 probably crap - some of these china tracer units give up the ghost quick but look damn cool firing out streams of day-glow plastic ammo anyway - glad ya gun came in ok for the chrono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally chose to go to a dense woodland site in the middle of nowhere on a new moon with overcast weather, and then said it was too dark. LOL!

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 1, 2017 Supporters Share Posted April 1, 2017 or they was scared & needed their mummy dark cqb places like Mall & old Epsom Tunnels - some players have tracers I asked a guy who wasdoing a 50/50 mix of reg & tracer bb's why he uses them So I can see them hitting the non-hit-takers down there & bouncing off them etc... fair enough Now Epsom - that was darkness even if you ate ya carrots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, when I was in the store I was talking about these russian blokes who came to a night game geared up to the teeth - FLIR scopes and the lot. The guy there said "I've got my own version of night vision. Match and more card for morrisons grocery - 20% off carrots." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
