My Yie Arr Kung-Fu Bolt-Filing is invincible! After a lot of time and effort I have the barrel lined up etc all nice. The way I have sorted the front RIS/Barrel wobble is like a modern art masterpiece: Ris held onto barrel nut with superglue. Barrel stopped from turning left-right by shoving a piece of a Bisodol cardboard box in where the barrel grub screw fits sloppily into the receiver (this isnt the CA Body's fault...it was worse with the DBoys one). Ris held at barrel end with 3 bolt/nut system. And if any one part fails, the entire thing will probably come apart like a clo

Well what can I say. Except dont buy this piece of tripe. Trying to get the barrel aligned with my 3-screw idea, the superglue holding the RIS together broke again. Got it balanced...sort of...but the silver rod at the top procludes making a true balance by using a 4th screw. Even time you touch the paint on the RIS/outer barrel, some more flakes off revealing VERY cheap quality shiny metal. I think Ill be putting a proper quality front end on this ASAP. So so far Ive had to replace: Motor Stock Receiver And now I face replacing the foreend to make this even

Update: Damnit, Im addicted to this gun! It sounds awesome, really well-sealed gearbox. Chronos a hop-off 327 average as stock. Speed on a 9.6v battery is impressive but not so fast as to be idiotic. Ive never had a front-wire before and the gun pivots well on the front hand to make it well manouverable. Im really impressed

Win XP Home SP2. No problems here.

This is really an addendum to my CA M15a1 Vietnam review, because the 2 guns differ only in minor detail. That review can be found here: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...howtopic=106538 Pics will follow when I get a decent camera on the go. The only differences really are the folding stock, shorter barrel, short 2-piece foregrip and the flash hider. Yes, that means the poor quality paint finish is still there. In several places it looks brushed on, and uneven where angles meet. Not an issue for me, but it might bother others. The pain, despite being an attem

UPDAAAAAAAAATE! Second skirmish with it today. Solved the barrel wobble once and for all - fitted a CA M15a4 CQB body, and added a DBoys crane stock and component-shop.co.uk 2-line battery (£13.50...WELL worth it). The crane stock needed a tiny mod to make it able to take batteries but its no real effort. The gun is solid as a rock. The DBoys stock isnt up to CA standards, but it does the job just dandy. So took it gaming. Stopped feeding in the morning so I swapped to my M15a1. Just took it apart. The hop has a coiled wire in place of the usual brass collar - no pro

Forgot to mention - Im looking for these parts for a CA (or compatible): Mock bolt release Ejection port dust cover (I only need the rod, because DBoys ones wont fit, but I dont mind buying the entire unit) PM me if you have these for offer, I dont visit this thread none too much.

BEGONE, foul barrel/ris wobble! Used my old CQB SEAL body on the DBoys, and added a DBoys crane stock. Quite an improvement in looks and a HELL of an improvement in build quality:

The interior of the stock gets worse...how it mounts, I mean. I might just Crane stock mine...its getting a ZK by any standard.

I used a CA motor, but with the power of the spring, I think Id recommend a torque-up. Crane stock wont go on unless you file the receiver to stock tube down, and if you plan to use a battery crane stock you need to file to to a stub for the wiring. I can find out later from a crane stock body just how short it needs to be, if you like.

Barrel wobble went when I tightened the barrel nut, yes. Although, it keeps wobbling loose again...I need to threadlock it. The advantage is though, unlike non RIS runs, youre not holding the barrel...you hold the RIS. So the barrel, even if its loose, is always in the same place so any inaccuracy is minimised Ill be putting it all on a CA body soon anyhoo.

Played using the SPR today. Hop-off chrono results: 355, 339, 340, 335, 339. Althought the hope adjuster felt VERY slack, there was no hop creep off at all. The gun was impressively accurate, at least equal to my CA M15a1, at about 100-120ft range. Good enough to DM with in CQB, certainly. Apart from the motor and those initial problems, its very good so far

The latter sounds best. Its not a blanking plate...its the end of the lever-side of the release that fill the hole where the screw should do. Ill try and take pics to demonstrate. Edit: Sorry for the ABYSMAL images (darent use the Fuji without permission). Watch the white dot of liquid paper Ive put in the centre of the mag release button. Button on... Button off...

Yessir. The mag release centre, where there is usually a screw to remove the button, the lever arm side of the release has a pin that goes into that. I tried to remove this, thinking it was a disguise cover for the screw, and simple fingernail pressure took the paint off. I forgot...Rusty wins a cookie. Id put the Ris on upside down

Its the motor. Its a total ****pile. Put it in my MP-16 and the gun barely turns over. Put the MP-16s 9.6 mini in the SPR with a CA motor, its like a laser gun.

Bushings seem OK. Theyre nylon. I did the piston-out spin test. Theyre fine. Motor height adjusted. Was OK. Everything else seems fine, although the box is a wierd amalgam of colours suggesting its poor grade metal. Normal XYK (or whatever they are) gears. Grease is an off-yellow, mostly transparent type. Edit: odd thing. Apart from the bolt release being a type where it bolts into the body, the mag release button has no screw to remove it. You have to push it right in and spin it off the other side.

It says 'ONCETOP' on it. If they were Once Top, what are they now? It could always be a mass power spring. Ive not seen any estimates anywhere of this things power...

Shims checked. First gear seemed a little slack, but I left it. All I had to change was the middle gear... changed a .5 to a .3. ROF slightly improved. Next thing to try is to slap a CA motor in and see what shakes down.

Maybe, but its a 6.03 bore so Ill test how it is first.

Ill try turning it over then Im most likely putting it on a CA body anyway. Edit: Low ROF investigation... Well, despite my criticism of the thin wiring, it seems to do OK. Got a battery rated at 8.4, actual voltage 8.95. Grip baseplate off, connected a multimeter to the motor terminals, pressed the trigger. 8.93. Does seem theres much wrong with the wiring. Connected the multimeter on resistance across the motor terminals. Full deflection, so no resistance there. Unless anyone can advise any more/better tests, I presume the low ROF is one of 2 things: 1

Dont know why but inside the barrel, just about where the foresight is, the outer barrel narrows inside. I cant get a 509mm in, because its blocked by this narrowing. Even if I take the flash hider and the piece between it and the foresight off, the barrel cant pass through. Very odd.

Cheers I left it long and my hair unshaved for that '3 nights in the field killing the undead' look

I actually got a Bible Kill on Saturday. Hiding behind a wall during the Virus game...waiting till the Virus walked past...and bang killed him. Bible in one hand, gun in the other, yelling "BACK YE DEMONS!"

BREAKING NEWS: G-Man Cavorts With RIS Scandal! DBoys BI-5281 Barrel is short though, and cannot be extended. 419mm, here pictured with a 509mm M15 barrel. Oh, and a pose pic of my new loadout for the CQB Zombie Killer...

Name that barrel: Above is a Prometheus 6.01 bore 509mm from my A2 C.A.R. Below is the DBoys BI-5281. It is of 419mm length and 6.03 bore.
