jay1988 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 so first off it all deppends how mechanically minded you are if you are unsure i would recommend taking it to a tech (after lockdown) its not the hardest of jobs but its better to be safe than sorry from what i can see on zeroone the inner barrel length is 330mm and as for the bucking i would go for something like the prometheus purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted November 1, 2020 Supporters Share Posted November 1, 2020 New or second hand ??? in other words - what fps is is it shooting at ??? New "likely" 320~330fps S/hand - fuck knows 250~280fps (this is on 0.20 bb's btw) by default you got a green G&G bucking which isn't crap just clean the barrel and use DECENT BB's like G&G's (yes they cost more, but are pretty good/consistent & widely available from numerous places) if you use cheap bb's that have seams or egg shaped - you won't get jams that much on std barrel maybe but it will spread all over the place if you are looking for better accuracy etc... if the fps is at 330fps on 0.20's then try 0.25 G&G's if gun is firing at 280fps on 0.20's then I'd look to check & improve this before going to 0.25's Sometimes the compression isn't that fantastic, mostly coz piston head is not brilliant imho but other than that it is alright inside, if fps is alright then leave the box alone for a while motor could be the blue powerful motor if you are lucky (and not bad motor tbh, better than the 18k one) I could list a load of things like changing it from front to rear wired with deans etc.... (but GOS stock doesn't allow much room for battery, hence it is front wired) maybe gutting the internals & such like going mildly nutz but tbh you just need to use it as is with a clean barrel & decent bb's to squeeze some more joy out it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
