sonofsammo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Woo and indeed hoo, hoo! I am currently a very happy bunny. I sat down tonight to upgrade my ASG MK23 with: Hadron Designs TDC mod Hadron Desingns Fang Plate ML Autobot bucking CJ 220mm barrel Silverback Supressor However, I fell at the first hurdle. I just could not get the damned slide off. So, rather than batter fuck out of it with a hammer in temper, I put it away, and got the TM MK23 out instead. And something rather wonderful happened. It all went well. Even down to drilling the outer barrel. I am a bit gobsmacked. 314.7 fps / 1.65J on 0.36 Geoff's.... So 420 fps on .2 equivalent.... And they seem to go for miles! I cannot wait to actually test them for accuracy/distance. Tomorrow I have a carbine kit arriving, so need to get a buffer tube and stock to complement it. And an optic. And a few more mags..... And then Tally Ho! Happy days 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostwalker Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have just bought that same supressor and plan on picking up the asg mk23 to do those same mods too. If you manage it on the ASG one you will have to let me know how it fairs. Especially with the asg mk23 running hot if you use the stock supressor. And 420ISH ON .20'S. I thought the tm's were supposed to be lower velocity lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the tm's were supposed to be lower velocity lol The TM's are about 290 / 295 stock. The upgrades make a massive difference! The suppressor is awesome! I love it to bits - it's heavier than the stock TM one, but it's a thing of beauty 😄 I still don't understand why I can't get the pin out on the ASG. On the Tm, it's a doddle to get out...

Dread to think what the asg might come in at then as stock its supposed to be 330-340 and with the stock asg supressor its been known to exceed 400 without any upgrades. I only wanted the asg as a reliable silent pistol for when i don't want the aeg whine to give away my position ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only wanted the asg as a reliable silent pistol for when i don't want the aeg whine to give away my position ! It depends what you do to it. If you're running the Silverback suppressor, there won't be any FPS increase. The FPS increase with the ASG occurs because the suppressor isn't a suppressor, it's a barrel extension. The reason I've got such a big jump is cos I've added a 220mm barrel. I think stock barrel is about 138mm. So if you stick with a CJ 138 / autobot / tdc / fangplate, then you'll be able to lift heavier BBs, but not necessarily increase the FPS massively.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted July 19, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 19, 2018 There is no greater troll in airsoft than the obsenely good pistol. I made the mistake of trying a longer barrel in the makarov "for science", turns out that was too much evil in too small a package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted July 19, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 19, 2018 Well lets just say it went into my cardboard safety tube, into the pile of rags at the bottom, bounced back and hit my knuckle with noticable force. Also the number on the chrono would be obscene for .2's let alone .3's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In airsoft people tend to refer to those as simply Elcan scopes or m145s. What we generally call an Elcan spectre looks like this which is the Spectre DR In reality both are called elcan spectres with different model designations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
