  1. I most definitely don't want to lose the magic tm pixie dust!  I also just don't have the patience to crack open the gearbox and mess with it.  There is a high probability I'd just make it worse.

     

    For what it's worth, I reseated the Prometheus bridge nub and I did the teflon tape mod on the bucking and I think that gave me about ten to fifteen more feet.  I see a lot less drop in my shots.  I'll have to wait until I get out to my local field to get an accurate test though.  

  2. Any ideas how to get some more range out the 416?  I feel like 150ft is the limit of my guns effective range.  That's with adding a madbull 363mm 6.03 barrel and a Prometheus bridge nub and bucking combo.  

     

    I'm not too keen on getting into the gear box but I may change my mind.

     

    Any thoughts? 

  3. So after putting the stock barrel back in, I'm pretty sure that the space is a tad too small for the nub to make good contact with the bb.  Thankfully the range and accuracy with the stock barrel is no slouch.  I think I'll try filing it down, or just get a new barrel.

  4. So I did a barrel swap with a Madbull 6.03 363mm and just left the tm hop up nub and rubber. Did some test shooting and the hop up has significantly less effect. I double checked before I reassembled and I could see the nub pressing down on the rubber through the barrel.

     

    Is there something I'm missing? Are Madbull barrels incompatiable with tm ebb hop up units?

  5. Trained with it for the first time today and all I can say is "wow". Probably the finest gun I've ever owned. Definately a notch up in quality from the VFC 416. And the VFC definitely did not put the same smile on my face. Expensive, but well worth it.

     

    @GingaNinga You already sold yours? I guess it was more of a fling than an affair? ;-)

  6. So I've got an EMS question that maybe a couple of you can help me with.  Echigoya sent my 416D in two parts, lower receiver and upper receiver.  The lower receiver is a my local post office today and it will be in my hands this morning.  However, I've been tracking the upper and the EMS tracking system says it has been delivered (final delivery) in San Francisco with an area code 94128.  A quick google search of that area code brings up the San Francisco airport.  I contacted Echigoya and they said it's just a problem with EMS's tracking system and they double checked that they put the right mailing address on the package (I live in WA).  

     

    None the less, I'm concerned in two ways.  1) Was it improperly delivered to someone in San Francisco?  2) Was it confiscated by customs?  

     

    I'll probably call USPS today and see what they say on their end.  Has anyone experienced this before?  Any advice?  

  7. I just decided to do the preorder from echigoya instead.  For the price of just getting the gun at tiger111hk, I got the gun and three mags from echigoya.  I can be patient.  This will be my first TM gun I've owned.  I'm excited. 

  8. I recently bought the VFC 416 but I'm thinking about selling it and getting one of these.  I do have a question though, does echigoya remove the trade marks when shipping to the US?  I'm thinking about doing the preorder and waiting it out.  Supposedly they are throwing in a free mag as well.  But, the last thing I want is to spend this kind of money and lose the trades.  Any experience with them shipping to the US?

  9. I used a piece of electrical tape around the top of each of my MAG midcaps and it helped the feeding quite a bit. I still think I need to tweak it a little but thankfully they are worth keeping now. I also have some EMAGs coming. Heard that they work well with the Sentry.

  10. Alright, I did some testing with my buddy's magazines and I now am convinced that it is my MAGs. I used his PMAG Ms and the stock mag that came with his SOCOM gear M4 and I had no problems at all. Every bbs flew as it should. I'm a bit bummed since I bought a box of the MAGs. I was thinking though about tapping the upper part of the MAGs to see if that helped with the feeding issues.

  11. Thanks for the help. The MAG mags are a little loose in the magwell, but the problem has happened with the G&P mag as well. I have been using TSD bbs from Airsoftgi. I'm going to look at the hop up today, I'll check for the spring. I thought about ordering some EMAGs to see if that would solve the problem.
