I'm not sure on the gearbox in this, but that sounds like the classic "V2 lockup". Have you opened it up yet?

Socom MK.23 - TM clone by KJW - with extended barrel/mock silencer.
RedRob replied to Biigs's topic in Pistols (Gas)
We've got one of these - from TaiwanGun as well. By the way, for those that don't realise, they are in Poland so no import duties, and I've had excellent service from them - quicker and cheaper than most UK sites. Anyway, back to the MK23 - it's far better than its price suggests, Biigs review is spot on. I solved the rail issue by simply screwing a spare piece of 20mm rail under it so it could take a standard torch (or a bipod for giggles!). I've found it very consistent, and I won an impromptu pistol competition with it when my "proper" GBB M9 preferred to vent rather than propel BBs.... -
New G19 (OK, technically a 23, but no trades, so it will pass as a 19 ) With my daughter's G18C AEP: And the obligatory "pistol and knife" shot:

Personally, it depends what the aim is. For my L119A1-esque that I posted above, I want it to look a bit used, so I only used thin coats and started handling it almost straight away. If the aim is for a new look, then I'll strip it down to the basics, or at least do a "proper" masking job. It will then be painted properly, starting with a sand/strip, then prime, followed by 2 or 3 coats applied according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations. Ultimately, it depends what kind of finish you are after, and how OCD you get about it....

Yes, but as I only used thin coats it's already showing a bit of wear and tear after a 7 hour Milsim last Sunday....

My latest project....

Here they are, plus one I picked from, I think, a Range store.

Hitman - I've used some gardening kneeler pads from Wilko. Sounds odd I'll admit, but they are the same material as the fake plates, and fitted perfectly in my CIRAS copy. I had to take a piece off the end, but that was ideal as side armour. Best of all, they were only something like £2-3 each..!

Thanks for that comprehensive reply! I replaced the nozzle recently. I couldn't find a dedicated one, and ended up using one for an Aug as that seems to have the correct dimensions, etc. and has proved to work so far.

Sorry, here's a picture of the rifle - it is a picture thread, after all! Happy New Year, by the way!

OK chaps, after some advice about upgrading my son's A&K SR25. Playing in the UK, this type of DMR must be locked to semi-auto and is generally limited to a maximum of 450fps, so that applies some limits to what we can do. The current plan is for a tight bore barrel - 6.03 or possibly even 6.01 - of about 430mm, R-Hop, M130 spring, Element Silent piston/cylinder head combo, high torque motor and 11.1v LiPo. Replacing the gears is also a possibility, although they do look to be in decent condition, but what ratio would be most appropriate - there seems to be a variety available? By the way
