ooooooops!
Its twin arrived!

Hey Mamba how is that G&P, I'm thinking of getting one for a similar project to yours.
It's great, got a shaved 2nd tooth of PB, stock, black cylinder (not the typical brass). Not happy with the shimming though( always way off),tuned it up. Hopefully! they have addressed the problem of gear shafts constantly breaking. No complain though as G&P's are always great platform for upgrades. And by the way all import G&P already have 8mm bearing GB. I opened and tuned one of my team mates G&P M16A3 with M203 and it got an 8mm bearing GB. I always buy straight from hongkong, at least this way your guaranted to have the brand new stocks or models.

I've been considering THOSE VERY 2 MODELS for build. You jackass,
Just playin but nice guns. But c'mon! How could you put all that Magpul on there and then smack a TD grip on the DX?
I can easily put a magpul grip but as mentioned it was preference, I kinda like the feel of the TD grip
same as the G&P Sentry MagpulAnd what up with 5 lipos? Do you play like, 50 hour games
Bro! I only own a couple, the rest are orders from my teammates

My G&P Magpul DX, completely stripped down.
( all External parts change with either Magpul nor G&P parts)
The AEG Started like this!
Very Dull!
Then Stripped it down!
Changed every stock externals
1. Magpul PTS ACS Carbine Stock
2. G&P TD M16/4 grip with Heat Sink(preference)
3. Magpul PTS MOE Handguard
4. Stick a G&P Zombie Killer Silencer (sand)
5. Troy style rear sight
6. G&P 552 red/green dot
7. Kept the G&P Magpul lower receiver and the Vltor MUR upper receiver
A very nice Magpul AEG!
Wth its big brother full PDI tuned TM VSR10 G Spec (OD)

What's the blowback like? Nice looking Kalashnikovs guys!
You can compare it with TM AKS 74U EBB, It is really good.

so virgin
Yup! It so virgin, I need to devirginized it first............. Pretty hot for UK FPS limit (Take it down first to change spring to SP90 and Guarder V3 SG with bearing.

I have read a lot of horror stories about lipoly's didn't live airsofters expectation, their playing life was shortened. Is it the lipoly or how we maintain them?
Lipolies are great to use but we should know how to take care of them, or we are just wasting our hard earned money by not looking after this next generartion AEG batteries. Lipolies are used basically by battery powered RC cars and planes. Without proper maintenance by balancing each cell, we are shortening its life cycle. I have been using lipolies for almost 2 years now not knowing that any imbalance would waste my lipo.
Introducing the Kong Power 3-1 lipoly balancer (rehabilitator)
Dimention : 93.5*60*17 mm, 2.7 inch LCD display
Battery support : Li-PO / Li-Fe 2-6 cells/7.4v-22.2v
Receiver battery : 1.2V-8.5V DC
(Not limited type, but need external power7.4v-11.1v, use JST connector)
: Balance function is executable regardless if the battery is being charged.
Balance voltage setting range(lower limit): 2.0v-3.9v(pre-set at 3.2V)
Discharge voltage setting range(lower lmit): 3.0v-4.2v (pre-set at 3.9V)
Built-in Balance block : XH balance connector female
External TP-style balance adapter : Kong Power balance tab 2S-6S (Free option during promotion period)
The box was neatly presented and it came with the 3-1 balancer/discharger/voltage meter check, an owners manual which was written clearly in english language and Kong Power stickers (bonus).... Hehehehe, I used mine to put an identification for my power plug adaptor
The KP 3-1 have 5 ports for 2,3,4,5,6 cells lipoly batteries.
The very first job I did, was of course read the manual and it was all straight forward. The test begins, my test subject was my almost 2 years old Firefox 11.1V 1600 mah 12C lipoly battery. And I am using a balancer charger that came with it when I bought it.
Then I plug my lipoly to the KP 3-1 and the truth strucked me head on and was clearly displayed on the KP's lcd screen. The first reading was too way off, 1st cell is 3.84V, 2nd cell is 3.72V and the 3rd cell is 3.90V. The KP had prompted me to check the battery as what is shown on the lcd screen.
I did not hit the discharge button and eagerly hit the balance button as soon as I've found out that my lipoly was imbalance.
Here is the KP Balancing my lipo. Note the flashing bulb icon and the balance icon, Balancer working. KP analysis the lowest reading for each cell and automatically set the lowest reading as benchmark for balancing the 2 unbalance cells in real time.
Still Balancing
After several hours of balancing, all the light bulb icon from the 2 unbalance cells ceased from blinking and the balance icon gone. The results are showing on the LCD screen that my almost 2 years old lipoly is now well balance with a slight deviation of .01V.
Charge the lipoly, using the charger mentioned and shown above. Ang whoalla my lipoly is alive and kicking and balance again compared to the first time I have plug the lipoly to the Kong Power 3-1.
I am just wandering the readings was all different from each cell after charging but the KP did not prompted me to check the battery, leaving the connection between lipo and KP for 10-20 minutes(check battery icon never showed up in the LCD screen). I noticed that it gained more V per cell as compared to the first time I have done the test.
Conclusion, it did a wonderful job of rehabilitating my lipo.
The great thing about the product is, it will prompt us in real real time with nos. that our lipolies are imbalance. I suggest that before hitting the balance button, discharge the battery first using this unit until the discrepancies in voltage are between .02-.03V. Unlike what I did on this first test, hitting the balance button sooner will take time on balancing the cells as there was a huge discrepancies among the cells. Check the voltage, It's not 11.1, it's 12.40V fully charge, that kinda scared me off..........hehehehe! Not worried, I got a computerized mosfet that can easily handle this power and a GB tuned for lipoly usage.
I hope you like my little contribution.
I am no electrical or techno guy but I really love to venture as long as it got an English Manual that can easily be followed......................hehehehehehe! Adios Amigos!
Balancer provided by Kong Power for Review!
Bottom line, I won't suggest buying those ACM lipoly balancer charger again
( they are not good), as what most gurus advice, buy quality batteries and of course quality Balancer Chargers. There's a lot offered in the market today. -
Couple of questions.. how much differance did it make to the muzzle report and where did you source the parts from?
We have an indepth review of this sorbo's on one of the Popular Airsoft Internet magazine, I forgot what issue though. Face of between a regular/stock set up compared to the one with sorbo pads. Hands down, they are a lot quiter.
Here's the link then scroll down to check out the sound test done by Matt Lawson from Alabama,
http://www.airsoftresearchsyndicate.com/
Note: Putting this on could significantly loss FPS due to decrease cylinder air volume capacity. What we suggest is putiing on a stiffer spring which is legal on your country.
-
And if you are a Tech guy and wants to do your own, they're readily available ARS Sorbo pads.
Sorbopads
Installed on Bore Up Cylinder Head and Stock Cylinder Head
You need to reinforced it with stock cylinder head pads by supergluing them together.
Set up on Bore up cylinder head for perfect AOE (Hi ROF set up), I have used mine for my 500FPS semi locked SAM R.
After Several months, still looks great, no signs of wear and tear.

Oh, and mamba: that's a really nice piece, but pleeease remove the picture with it in the MEU box, it ruins it all
Just showing where it all started. But ya! I shouldn't have put it on the MEU box.@ everyone Thanks guys for appreciating a piece of art.

What is that carry-handle/mount thing? Where did you get it? And nice MOE handguard
It's a King Arms QD Rail, I am getting all my stuff in Hongkong(AirsoftGlobal)

Japanese technology have landed on British soil several months ago. Intruducing the ARS MASK (mechbox anti shock kit). It helps prevent premature GB hairline cracks and helps reduce signature muzzle noise.
Close up pics of MASK Cylinder head
Close Up Mask Piston Head with Bearing
Review on MASK on 2 different GB set up (450FPS semi locked and 350FPS at 25-30ROF) during the winter months and summer months. Each set up had consumed 1000 rounds of .3 and 20,000 rounds of .2, split up at 2 different time of the year. I started this test last December where temperature drops down below zero and concluded on 4th of July where the temperature reach its highest peak at 33 degrees centigrade. During my winter testing I've used a SP130 spring for my 450FPS set up and SP100 for my 350FPS set up. Then just recently I've downgraded to SP120 and SP90 respectively. Reason being, the original set up during the winter months was firing on UK legal FPS limits for AEG based sniper rifle and AEG's. Then came the summer months where everything went off the roof from my original set up, the SP130 set up was firing 470-480fps and the SP100 was firing between 370-380FPS, a massive 20-30FPS increase in power. I have applied the same airsealing technique on both set up on 2 different season of the year. There is only one explanation, during the summer months all the O rings from cylinder head, piston head, airseal nozzle had fully expanded plus your hop up unit, precision barrel airsealing technique thus creating the perfect airseal. I was very impress how the MASK performed, after all my brutal testing, still intact. The reinforced sorbo pads were holding just fine. And one more thing it is much quiter compared to the silent heads(I got 2, Guarder and CA to compare) offered in the market today.
Set up
1. G&P SAM R
2. Prometheus 6.03 550mm precision barrel
3. G&P 8mm bearing GB with 2 different set up mentioned above.
4. Extreme fire Cheetah.
It gives you an excellent AOE for those Hi ROF set up!
Here is it now after 6-7 months of brutal testing!
There was no apparent signs of wear and tear.
In great shape,
Testing takes time and with different parameters, I now therefore conclude, that this is a great piece of ingenuity!

We have done an extensive field test since its first release last year and it passed with flying colors.
First this came, the SW Panther (Came in October last year, the guinea pig)
Then came its sister feline ( the SW Cheetah....Came a couple of months after receiving the panther ), same function but reduced in size. Can easily fit any butt tube. Welcome to the innovations of AEG computers with Active Breaking and 2-3 round burst depends on your set up not sacrificing your full auto by holding the trigger .4 of a second after the burst rounds. Now you can convert any AEG by reprogamming this to fire on semi semi only. Semi sniping made easy. Constant power source (mosfet), no more burned trigger contact points, spring and piston always at rest (AB)
Comparison in size
Specs:
- Fully computer-controlled MOSFET switching with Active Breaking
- Full over-current, -voltage and thermal monitoring and protection
- Normal, 3-Round Burst and Semi Only operating modes
- Automatic 3-round burst to full auto operation after trigger is held for 0.5s Full PWM motor speed control
- Soft start to reduce motor and drive train wear
- Very low trigger switch current (10mA)
- Self-diagnostics at power-up and during operation
- Mode, Burst Time, and Motor Speed are programmed via trigger pulls
- Low sound level motor "vibration" is used to signal the user
- Fits in present fuse holder space and replaces old fuse with high-speed electronic monitoring
- Software can be upgraded by the user with a chip swap
- The design is fully open source to allow third-party support
Remove all the original wirings by desoldering, and solder the thin orange and red wire.
Rewire the motor wires as intended, mine's rear wired.
And whoalla your done, just follow the wiring diagram.

Before anything else I am not connected to any manufacturer, I am just sharing what I've got.
Several tango's are coming fast to take the bunker that you are depending. Adrenalin's rushing, full of mixed feelings of being excited and nervous. Took off all your magazines from your vest's mag pouches, lined them all up, ready to engage the OPFOR, then the inevitable happened, you were engage in a fierce exchange of hot bb's, suddenly on your second magazine your AEG stopped firing. You were so frustrated and annoyed that it let you down, walked back to the safe zone and start analyzing what went wrong. Plugging 1 of your spare battery, your AEG starts firing again, now you are really wandering what had happened to 1 of your trusted battery, why it suddenly run out of juice. You have just used it a couple of weeks ago and was able to finish almost 5000 rounds of bb's on one full charge on your old low tech wall charger. A day before the game, your precious package came, a high end battery charger with sensor arrived and you were so excited. You charge all your batteries from Nimh/ Nicd. And yes, it was beeping eveytime your batteries are fully charge. You have bought yourself a treat 'coz you're feed up of time computing and setting an alarm clock charging with low end charger. Now you have come to realize that the hiend chargers are reading a false full charge, having an experience with the low end charger. You have noticed that, when you were charging using your low end battery charger your battery gets warm compared to the hiend charger, it bleeps signalling a full charge but the battery didn't get warm. Thru experience, you have jumped into conclusion that the hiend charger is giving you a false full charge readings. Now! everytime you charge using the hiend charger and bleeps you touch your battery if it gets warm or not, you became a human sensor................hehehehehehehe! And if it is not warm, you hit the charge button again and again until the battery gets warm to maximize its full charge potential. It is now getting to your nerves.
And the Airsoft heaven open its door and gives us this!
Kong Power All in One Battery Charger with Li Bat. Balancer
Upon reading and learning from Arnie's airsoft and FAS, world famous airsoft site and airsoft forum sites from US, Canada and Europe several years back. The best way to enjoy this addicting hobby is to buy high quality batteries and decent charger/discharger. As your battery collection grows from 1100-3600mah capacity NiMh/NiCd batteries, your wall charger is now getting to your nerves, it is now taking a lot of time to charge them. To deal with this huge dilemma, you bought a mid price TLP Fuzzy Logic Charger/discharger. Over a year on using it, you were feed up being a human sensor for charging your batteries. You sold it bearing in mind that you might ruin or mess up your precious batteries by over charging them and bought a BOL Data instead. What attracted you to this new mid price charger was, it was showing you in real time how much your battery is charging. Again several months later, you were again feed up of being a human sensor. While charging, this charger also constantly stops and bleeps prematurely giving you false full charge reading. Charging a 3300mah NiMh and 3600 mah NiCd, it stops and bleeps at 1500mah as shown in real time on its LCD, then press the fast charge again, it stops and bleeps again at 1800mah, it stops and bleeps every 200-300mah charge. You are doing the vicious circle again and again until it is fully charge at 3250mah to 3550mah respectively and this time your battery is warm and confident that they are fully charge. Both of this chargers/dischargers share the same function and specification, the only difference is, BOL have LCD screen which shows you in real time what it's doing. They are not bad but for me they are not good either.
As you become more addicted to this new found hobby, you want to try and venture out to different power source and bought some lipoly with charger/balancer. Lipolies are great to use but are very complicated batteries, you have to tender them with care, balancing them properly for longer shelf/playing life. Not being contented of what you have got in store, your restless fingers are surfing the internet retail shop for multi purpose/all in one charger/balancer for your ever growing collection of AEG batteries. You have been surfing almost all airsoft forum sites but you can not find any decent review for this kind of all in one chargers. You decided to get one of this.
Sent to me with UK 3 pin Plug
Close up
Built in balancer for 2-3 cells li /banana plug input for secure connection
Specs.
DC input: 11-18Volts
AC support:110/240 volts, 5A. AC adapter is available seperately (AC input: 100-240Volt)
Type of battery : LiPo, LiIo and LiFe / NiCd, NiMH batteries only
Charging current : max. 5.0A
Number of cell count : 1 to 3S for Lithium batteries / 1 to 8 cells for NiCd and NiMH batteries
Balancer : built-in balancer for Li-xx
Circuit power : 50 Watts
Weight : 120 g
Dimension : 110 X 60 X 12 mm
Size Comparison, TLP's same size
Note how small it is compared to Gigantic BOL DATA.
Normally, I don't publish the results of my evidence base review not until 6 months of indepth scrutiny, but 4 months on, the team are very much happy, contend and confident of how this all in one charger performs. We have done side by side charging with the BOL and my teammates TLP Fuzzy logic charger ( note we have three, mine's been sold a long long time ago), same 9.6V 2200mah NiMh, it was a no contest. The Kong Power all in one battery charger doesn't bleep not until the batteries are fully charge and warm. The Bol and TLP keeps on bleeping randomly while charging, always prompting you of false full charge reading. We have done this face off during the winter and summer months to see how they behave on certain time of the year. The Kong Power had its outdoor baptismal of fire during our just concluded ACE Brigade Summer gathering '09. It performed pretty well plugging it in on a car battery. It charge NiMh of different kind of volts, from 7.2 electric automatic AEG magazine, 8.4, 9.6 of varying mah from 600-3700. Performs with flying colors. Charging NiCd is as straight forward as charging your NiMh after completely discharging them first. I had a Sanyo 9.6V 3600 mah NiCd before and was charging fine with Kong Power. I can not give you a guaranteed review regarding NiCd charging due to, 99% of airsofters here in UK are using maintenance free, plug and play NiMh batteries. Charging lipoly is a treat and so much fun, got several on my personal collection. Everytime I charge them and check them on the Kong Power balancer/discharger, they are all perfectly balance. Again, I have to say goodbye to BOL DATA, SOLD.
Perfect Combination with KP lipoly rehabilatator.........like Batman and Robin
It's not fairrrrrrr! Yup It is not fair comparing a mid price chargers to a high price personal charger. The exercise is a review of at least 3 different chargers which might help our fellow airsofters buy what is appropriate for them. This hobby is very addicting, you are constantly surfing the world wide web for new airsoft/airsoft related products. And having some form of guide/advise or review can easily help buyers.
Wrapping it UP!
Pros
BOL and TLP
1. Both came in with an english manual
2. Both came in with power supply/chord
3. Both have resetable charge current between .5-5 amps
4. Both have discharger
5. Both have 3 cycle charge/discharge to maximize batteries full charge potential (never use them)
6. Both can automatically reads cell counts
7. Both revert to trickle charge when batteries are full
8. Both are fast chargers.
Cons
1. False full charge readings (don't want to be a human sensor again)
2. Bulky
3. very noisy ( I hate the fan noise)
4. No lipoly charging capabilities.
Kong Power
Pros
1. All in one fast charger (upto 8 cells NiMh/NiCd, 2-3 cells Li of whatever denomination).
2. Gives you true full charge readings
3. Built in lipoly balancer.
4. Compact ( can easily fit on your upper bdu chest pocket)

5. Doesn't come along with deans plug connector ( not to worry, I can make one)
Large Tamiya to deans connector
Well, here comes the question, does it worth it.
Oh yeahhhhhh!

Finally! the project is completed, Re tuned as I don't thrust stock shimming(always way off). Set up for UK limit of 350FPS with a very conservative ROF of 18-20 using 7.4V 15C lipoly. By the way both lower receivers have different serial nos.
