G&G Warthog upgrades

[Rob360]

Hi all,

Off the back of my Specna adventure I also decided to upgrade the Warthog 12".  Replacing the standard 330mm 6.08mm barrel with a ZCI 340mm 6.02mm barrel.  New ZCI rotary hop and Maple leaf maceron 60 and omega nub.  

 

Before I did the upgrade I played a site yesterday, the gun originally chronod at avg 321fps on .2 with hop set. On site it was about 297fps on .2.  I've played a few days since it was chronod and the gun was new from shop when I got it. So it's not done much.

Is it normal to drop that much after a few games, bedding in? 

 

Anyway, I got the same results when I got home and checked fps. So I upgraded the parts anyway, the fps increased marginaly, I'm guessing due to barrel, to around 306fps on average using .2. 

 

For reference I use .25 in game, which is giving an avg of 265fps now. 

 

Does anyone know what the factory spring is in this rifle? I was thinking of upgrading it to get a bit more out the gun.

The springs fitted to new guns are generally not of great quality and can lose power after initial use.  From experience, G&G guns tend to have varied springs in them.

The XT springs from AK2M4 are very good and very consistent.

Thanks Colin, I've spoken to AK2M4 and a couple of xt springs are on the way. Hopefully this is all that is needed to rectify the power loss.
