  1. I know what you mean about installing a new hop up bucking, the madbull would not fit into the chamber, ended up going with a different one.

     

    Currently i have a:

     

    Guarder SP90

    Lonex 6.03mm Steel tight bore inner barrel

    Lonex hop 50% hard bucking and nub (on the nub i hatted the fact that i was turning my adjustment wheel up to 8 or 9, so i rapped a prometheus soft nub around the hard nub, now i only turn the wheel up to about 3)

     

    Shooting at .88 (303fps) to .91J (312fps), living in japan with the 1J law :shutup2: :shutup2:

     

    Yea, i could not live without the top rail on my 97 ;) ;)

  2. A few reasons.

    mostly because I was dissapointed with the problems OOTB.

    Plus generally it just didn't fit me.

     

    Ironically the 97b was supposed to be a stop gap till the f2000 came out but it turned out to be the best aeg ive owned quality and performance wise.

     

    Intereseting, i am torn between the f2000 and the 97b.

  3. Hey, just to confirm, what is the length of the Type 97 barrel? Is it 509mm like Wilekcmc's tightbore he fitted or is it the 480mm stated by PvtCody? And if it is 480mm, what's the closest barrel length to that which won't poke out into the flashider?

     

    The barrel length is 485mm long, i used a 509 barrel and cut it down to the proper length.

  4. Just got a new one of these, and I'm struggling to get the battery flush against the bottom of the grip, due to the wires coming out of it. Any suggestions, or is this just a brute force jobbie?

     

    Edit: In particular, I'm talking about the 3 cells facing back

     

    Edit2: Nevermind, I've managed to fit it in on about the 50th try with lots of poking and prodding

     

    I understand your feeling about the internal battery, its a pain and the only draw back to this AEG. That's why i went with a external battery pack, no tear down of the 97 each time you have to charge the battery.

     

    Enjoy it, its a great AEG.

  5. Yeah - short, gold and linear, with stiff fat coils. Same in my 97 and 97B. Replaced both with Prometheus springs - got rid of the 'twang' and inconsistent shots I sometimes suffered.

     

    Interesting about the springs, i will have to pull mine out of the closet and compare it to some others that i have. Very Interesting

  6. The 97 is good for QCB but it also is great as your standard assault weapon, rate of fire and distance are both there for you.

     

    Personally i haven't tried the G&G L85, would like to one day but first i want the 97B model.

  7. Nice pics! :)

     

    How are you finding using the Eo? I whacked a reflex sight on my 97B this weekend and despite the height of the rail it worked really, really well.

     

    I love the EO, it works great for a clone model and its at the right height for wearing safety googels (nothing gets in the way with them).

     

    Thanks for the comments on my pics.

  8. Well this past weekend i really put the 97 though its paces, using it in a support roll for cover fire in a bunker game. I was offered to use a M60 or M249 support gun but i turned it down. Next weekend is anther game and i plan on using it as hard again, after wards i will break open the mechboxes and see what type of abuse the piston has taken. Will post up what i find, here are some pics of last weekends game. Oh in the bunker game i fired around 1,200 rounds.

  9. Can anyone confirm for me if the batteries wouldn't need extending if you mounted the PEQ box to the side near the vent holes?

     

    Sorry i cant help you on this one :( :(

     

    If you wont to rewire it with a mosfet, i can help you with that.

  10. The more G&G pushes back their FN2k the more likely I am to buy a 97. Anyone know how one of these would look with an AFG on the bottom?

     

    You cant go wrong with the t97, i am waiting for the price to drop on a 97B a little. But that's my next AEG :)

  11. I was intending to go with a Prometheus soft. However, when I fitted it I found it didn't fit as snugly as the original rubber and as I recall the hop ridge inside was smaller than the original one - so I binned that idea.

     

    Instead I've continued to use the original rubber and fitted a fatter nub - one from a Madbull soft hop set, I believe. I've done this in both my 97 and my 97B and I don't get past #2 on the hop dial when using 0.25g BBs.

     

    Edit: I am using Prometheus and Madbull tightbores respectively.

     

    Thanks for the info, i am going to try that out, putting the original rubber back on and i have a madbull nob. See what i will get out of it. Currently its set at 9 on my dial setting.

  12. A while back i changed out my hopup for a Prometheus Soft Type, what i found was that it was not performing like i hoped. What i mean is that i have to turn my hopup almost all the way up but still don't getting that much distance out of it. So i changed out the nob for a firmer one. This seams to help but i was thinking about going to a hard type nob, but i am only using a SP 90 (shooting at 300fps). Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

     

    Thanks
