PopRocket123 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I've recently seen that it's possible to modify a VFC SCAR H to fit a v2.5 gearbox for a DMR build. Is the extra cylinder volume worth the work and does anyone know where to get a complete gearbox, preferably with a quick change spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted July 6, 2020 Supporters Share Posted July 6, 2020 i wouldn't bother, if you're running into volume issues then just run a shorter barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about volume. I've been told the VFC shell isn't up to high FPS builds and I was also hoping to get a shell with a quick change spring so I could have a true quick change system as my 3 local sites have 3 different FPS limits, including one that allows 500fps AEGs with a digital delay.

You can literally just take off the lower and you have full access to the back of the gearbox. You can't really do this in its stock configuration though as it has a mounting point in the way. And yes your soul has been lost forever to the chaos prince of HPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted July 7, 2020 Supporters Share Posted July 7, 2020 Fair enough, not too bad to swap springs out then. That does solve a lot of the problems, i'd set her up with a nice v2 qd box and change the barrel to suit the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would the V2 still perform as well at 500fps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case your gonna have to pull the mount every time. Which still isnt as bad as a lot of guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopRocket123 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ok thanks. That rear mount is going to be modified anyway in order to run the wires from a gate titan through the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
