Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted November 16, 2020 Supporters Share Posted November 16, 2020 Goddamn thats some sketchy teching. I mean jesus does the guy not have any pride in his work? I feel for you man i really do. This is why i really endorse folks to learn it themselves because then things like this are less of a risk to deal with when you can fix it yourself properly. By the sounds of what your site tech is saying he's talking the right language (identifying lack of spring on hop unit for example) so maybe he can get it sorted?

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted November 16, 2020 Supporters Share Posted November 16, 2020 Fingers crossed. Its not unfixable; cylinder, nozzle, some random o rings and a rewire at least, but more a question of if its worth the time/effort/money to you. I've seen some pretty shoddy things done (and done shoddy things myself) but that is definately up there on a par with the ol' hole drilled in the cylinder as an fps downgrade.... I might suggest for the benefit of future buyers when the outcome is settled to leave a link to this thread in the feedback so folks can make an informed decision on what they might be buying.

Cannonfodder Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Sorry to say it but going on the seller's replies and don't give a crap attitude, you've been scammed. Good luck with the pp claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshd1k Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 That's what my impressions is PayPal. Have told me just return it under distant buyers or somethibf along them lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshd1k Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Just a update PayPal refunded me 60 and I kept the gun stripped it down the internals where a joke Stick gears mixed with Shs gears A washer glued under the trigger to make it a shirt stroke Piston had 0 air seal in the cinder moving it fast or slow and had a chunk missing out of the top Bushes battered Now back together with a cyma v2 box with the m160 motor and firing sweet VID_20201201_150419.mp4 VID_20201201_150322.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveocee Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Super lucky escape if Paypal have refunded you. Many on here pay by F&F and get shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted December 1, 2020 Supporters Share Posted December 1, 2020 There is a reason to mis-match gears, but i have a distinct feeling this guy wasnt going through several different combinations to acheive minimal backlash and smooth meshing. Also a washer? Whats wrong with tapping the shell for a grub screw? That piston head i suspect is the culprit for the air seal, looks like yhe one i had where the inner surface was rough and it wouldnt form a seal with the o-ring.

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted December 2, 2020 Supporters Share Posted December 2, 2020 Is that an Ares gearbox with the EFCS ECU bollox ??? I thought the box was an APS or did the bloke fit an Ares magnetic thingy in there or is the box an ares v2 - I dunno, a right pile of confusion going on as to wtf it all is if so the sector has a magnet to detect its position & stuff so you had to (of a sort), keep the Ares sector which the 18:1 & 16:1 sectors are same thus the bloke plopped in a SHS 16:1 spur and "likely" kept the CA sector with the magnet in one of the holes The washer behind piston was to likely correct AoE a bit more as the silent/mushroom piston head & matching cyclinder (if used) would make it difficult to adjust with sorbo/normal rubber pad the silent head has a little tiny squish to it anyway - so adds so impact resistance so bloke probably thought - fuck it just add a slight spacer between piston & PH to correct AoE - though tbh them piston heads are quite chunky on their own and I found they seem to PARTIALLY correct AoE anyway I don't use them as I feel the vents in PH don't allow the o-ring to push out like other PH's but others use them, they don't muffle quite that much, they offer a tiny bit of impact cushion (but not a massive amount) Looks to be a SHS piston & I do not like those pistons... way too little actual rails for my liking - I like nigh on full solid rails (especially in "windowed" boxes, just my own personal OCD I guess) but too little actual rail on those SHS pistons for my liking even the swiss cheesed pistons... I only like to use them is say a G&G non-windowed box where box has uninterupted rails so to speak but that SHS piston... nah not got one, nor do I intend to get one for lack of rails (soz but absolutely shit way to lighten a piston imho) Another thing with SHS pistons... They BIND - quite often in numerous boxes Except for G&G's, most boxes will need a little sanding to stop SHS pistons binding especially at full retraction on the last couple of teeth I found So just something to be aware of SHS pistons bind in APS... As I said, some money had been spent on this gun at some point but think it was assembled by an inexperienced tech or a few bad techs have had a go at it A good result you getting refunded some money to help fix the issues some of things I can understand as to perhaps this/that was performed but above all else palming off a botched gun onto somebody I can not get my head around good result all round, should finally get the gun you wanted/deserved at last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
