Over here propane costs 4x more than green gas.

The new ones are made of silicone hence better stability in the cold. One thing to consider is how silicone oil in green gas will affect it in the long run. I can't remember which ones (KSC?) but I recall swelling issues on certain GBBs.

The fact VFC still insists on proprietary gasket seals for mags is a no for me.

That's gonna look really off, and some people can't even stand the way current VSS and VAL AEGs look. Given the rise in popularity of Russian guns, it's very likely a replica will be made soon enough.

Might as well throw this in

It seems clumsy but really it shoulders like a normal rifle. What sucks is the hopper and oiler blocking half your vision. Bipod legs also too tall like a Chauchat on flat ground, but it wasn't really designed for that anyway.

Was thinking about that, but I've already got it running well enough with just the right size o-ring.

Got this on one of my mags but only on the last shot. Basically the bb follower was too high so the last shot only dealt a glancing blow to the valve. If it's happening all the time, could be a broken valve hold-open/delayer.

You'll need someone who's taking machining as a hobby. Ask Brigg maybe?

Not sure about the B-33 dust cover but I recall there being a difference in length between ones for AEGs and GBBs. With the 105 gas block, there's only really LCT that sells it separately and is worth the $60 because it's steel and comes with the muzzle device. However WE does not make carbine length barrels. You have to start from an AKS74U barrel and graft an extension on like I did, or cut down your full length barrel and file a new cross pin groove.

UPDATE: It appears there may be something off with the green gas (Guarder) I used being old and nearly empty when I did the tests as well as the chronograph being dirty (I use GBBs almost exclusively and silicone oil + dirt may have built up on the sensors. Having gotten new gas (Puff Dino 12kg) and cleaned the chrono, the Makarov measured 262fps while the Grach did 277fps on .20g bbs. Also, decided to try out shortening trigger travel to resemble the position in single action mode. Instead of drilling the frame and inserting a pin to block the trigger, I simply fashioned a piece of abs plastic and glued it to the frame behind the trigger. The spacer measures 7x5x2.5mm.
