ProPain87 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 As01 ML 310mm Crazy Jet barrel AA Hop up unit ML decepticon 50 + omega nub Ares short fluted barrel bespoke M150 spring Hawke Panorama 4-12x40 IR Scope AA hop wheel 450fps on .20, 320fps on .04s (1.9J) Shoots far and fairly accurate but I’m not 100% happy with the accuracy so if anyone has any bucking recommendations for me to try. I’ve tried a auto bot 60 and it was shocking with that, much better with the decepticon 50 Got a bespoke cylinder kit and body pin waiting to go in and a Gap trigger sear on its way from Canada
Solly4568 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 I know it sounds like a broken record but I would get a maple leaf bucking I have found that they are just the best for almost anything you are building and yeah I am not a fan of the decepticon either. but just for prosperity what range are you getting with the decepticon
ProPain87 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Both buckings I have are maple leaf (ML) Honestly I have no idea on exact numbers, I don’t have anywhere to test further than my garden (20m) and wouldn’t really like to just guess. I’ve only skirmished it once with this bucking but I got a fair few kills and really enjoyed using it where as with the ml autobot I couldn’t hit a barn door further than 20m away (bbs we’re flying flat for a lot further just hooking left and right) and I got so annoyed with it I put the striker away. Once my new cylinder set goes in I’m going to try it again and try some different weight bbs and see what works the best
Solly4568 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 sounds almost like your hop up bucking is not properly seated I would take it apart, reinstall the Autobot just to see if it is a seating issue

Solly4568 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 yeah but the one from airsoft pro ( that I could find) did not have the stainless steel bolt and only had the bolt internals
E21A Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Ta dah! https://airsoftpro.cz/en/gun-parts-upgrade/sniper-rifles-parts/for-ares-amoeba-striker/kompletni-upgrade-set-c.p.s.b.-pro-ares-amoeba-striker-490-fps-145-ms-detail Be warned, the piston doesn’t work with 90° sears
Solly4568 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 not bad google Jedi? but if you take shipping into effect then it comes in cheaper to get the one from Redwolf
E21A Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 It’s £105 from airsoft pro shipped, I know as I bought one a few days ago. Something at $85 on redwolf shipped to the U.K. will work out after import duty and shipping at the same money, again, I know cos I’ve done it.

O crap just realised I was looking at the American sight and that the English version (which I thought was 20 min away from me) doesn't carry the bolt ?

Theres loads of stuff the English site doesn’t stock ? The .com site is the Hong Kong?? shop
ProPain87 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Just seen Lycan have made a new 90 sear for the as01 on eBay. Wish I’d known before I ordered my gap sear ? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173744345304
ProPain87 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 My gap sear arrived, can get the rest of the new parts in now and see how it is ?
Solly4568 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 does anybody know if the shortened striker mags fit in m4 pouches

Skara Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Don't fit in mine. I have a mix of condor, Helikon and WAS pouches
E21A Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Nice, I’ve just fitted the same but with the airsoftpro internals kit, 90° Sear no likey 45° piston!
Skara Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Parts arrived today, here's what she looks like Will swap the suppressor out for something that actually works, wrap the inner barrel in foam to stop it from vibrating and probably fill the stock with foam as well. Can't wait to test it out this Sunday Solly4568, ProPain87, Immortal and 1 other 3 1

While you have the gun apart, I recommend putting a tight bore inner barrel along with a maple leaf hop up rubber and nub in just to make it easier on you, as this will improve accuracy and allow you to lift even heavier bb’s, although mine happily lifts .4 with the standard hop up
jay1988 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Is there a specific inner barrel I should look for as I can seem to find a 550mm one
E21A Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Edgi dual bore if you’re staying at that length, helps resolve to poor cylinder to barrel ratio
