Supporters TheFull9 Posted May 27, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thought the exact same when I got my TLR-1 a few years ago, the difference in the output and the unit itself is astronomical. It's not like it's even a budget thing, with the amount I wasted on Element stuff that literally fell apart all by itself without any external input, I could've bought another real light. jcheeseright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Latest purchase: A 16mm+ to 14mm- thread converter for the mk23 I'm building up. Some 144a gas for aforementioned pistol. Looking to get a holster and scope mount for it in the near future as I'm building it into a pistol I can run reliably as a primary.

TacMaster Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Except maybe a steel pinion gear so you can put a stronger spring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted May 29, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 29, 2014 Except maybe a steel pinion gear so you can put a stronger spring in. I have an M95 in my M4 (CQB innit). So far it's had SHS helical gears (which came out again when I realised I am NOT a shimming ninja), SHS piston head, SHS nozzle, Kanzen 6mm bearings and will soon have the aforementioned delayer chip and a Lonex 14 tooth piston (the one with the second tooth already removed) plus (if it ever gets here) an Airlab sorbo pad to sort out the AoE and stuffs. It all started because it was shooting at around 220FPS and getting about 15m range regardless of the hop setup. The gun was cheap second hand and is no longer my primary (that honour goes to a G&G SCAR-L) so I decided to use it to learn how it all works (or more often doesn't). It's been educational. And expensive. TacMaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 TMs already have steel pinions,and pretty decent ones at that. Standard sintered+machined pinion,just as strong as any old stock pinion. Thing is on TMs is that once you upgrade,you have to upgrade nearly everything and do it very well. Once you replace the zinc sector gear you have to replace the other gears since the steel sector will chew the weaker steel gears up. Then you need to replace the piston since it's ABS and will get wrecked by the steel sector.And you have to do a good job at all that since TM gearboxes have very small margins allowing for error. One cockup and the whole thing grenades itself bit by bit so you have to replace any parts than can be a source of failure and tune everything correctly. That said not all TM parts are bad. Tappet plates are fine,cylinder,cylinder head and nozzle a good quality and seal well,hop up units are well made and Pistol grips give the best motor alignment. ZCI and TM pistol grips are the top choices for 'silent' gearbox build where perfect motor alignment is needed. I've found lots of pistol grips are cast shodilly so the motor alignment is off giving an irremovable screech. TM seem to have improved the quality of the gear sets & pistons on recoil shock guns. The sector is still pot metal and does like to be chewed up under heavy stress but the spur and bevel are partly machined sintered carbon steel which is pretty good,they like to mesh well with other gear sets too. The pistons are much much stronger,and will not fail unless you jam in a very strong spring (m120+ above) or really cock up AOE correction.

Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 31, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 31, 2014 Indeed, the Chinese lie! They may be using LEDs capable of 1000 lumens but the rest of it clearly isn't stacking up in most cases. Lesson learned for me, will be sticking with genuine surefire where I can from now.

Won't ever buy another china clone torch again, the difference in light output is (LOLOL) night and day. Got to ask - is the front plastic plate stronger than on the Chinese clones or is it just as likely to be shot out ? I've been half tempted to splash out but at the same time scared that the first time I use one I'll be after a replacement piece of plastic (as happened on my cheap ASG clone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 31, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 31, 2014 The front face on a real surefire is tougher than a chinese plastic one, but it can still be shot out. tactical optician ( http://www.tacticaloptician.co.uk/?Store ) does protective lenses that you can fit to the front and will also fit replacement lenses to surefire torches if they've already been shot.

two_zero Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 then again, surefire is kind of overpriced, but if you like 'em and can afford 'em but there's plenty of good options out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 31, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 31, 2014 Depends on how you define overpriced I guess, I didn't pay full retail price for the torch and there's NOTHING on the market which is anywhere near as bright that I can also fit onto the rail of a glock pistol. Expensive yes, best in class yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted May 31, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 31, 2014 Overpriced from a hobbyist perspective maybe, but they're not aimed at airsofters it just happens that some airsofters like to use real-world kit. As evidenced above it's not like you even need to pay retail price, I paid less than 50% of the MSRP for all 4 of my SF lights, which if anything makes them underpriced for the quality quite frankly.

Willing to say where you got yours from, or was it just good sales shopping ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted May 31, 2014 Supporters Share Posted May 31, 2014 No secret, just eBay. But it was American eBay on a couple of them which I sent to a mate there and he shipped, which works out a lot cheaper for various reasons. Between eBaying and lots of time looking on forum classifieds, combined with the patience necessary to wait for what you're after to pop up, you can save yourself a fortune. Still buy most stuff from retailers but when it comes to the really pricey gear like RS lights, optics, high end jackets etc you're much more likely to see the stuff you want come up for sale second hand, very often never/barely used. It's the expensive stuff that people are more likely to put the time and effort in to selling on because they can then free-up the funds in that item when needed and it's more 'worth' their time as it were writing up the ads and sales thread. If you wear a Large or XL in jackets for example you can deck yourself out thoroughly in Arc'teryx for not much more than 5.11 or even Helikon prices, there's tons of that stuff on the bay.
