Aug Picture Thread

[redneck]

Very nice, but only because it used to be mine

[Lost in the West]

Interesting new Items over at Evike... Least First I've noticed them.

Love the really useful way their product descriptions are just the titles written again. Why can't airsoft online retailers have really good descriptions of their products? It's not like you're in the shop and can look at it for yourself...

 

By the look of it, the first one is just the standard AUG barrel made from stainless steel instead of Marui's monkey metal. Possibly useful, if you need one. The second one is the misnamed "police carbine" short barrel with the A2-style flash excluder (identical to the one I bought from them a while back for Project AUG) and the third one is just a stronger outer barrel of the kind you get with the M203 adaptor kits - apparently Matrix makes the adaptor kit and makes you buy the stronger outer barrel separately instead of just including it in the kit. Nice of them.

Whats the required inner barrel on the "Police Carbine" barrel. And I'm assuming that this Item is basically the same thing Minus the flash hider.

While not planning as an extensive project as your's I'm planning on three barrel lengths ready to go. Standard, H-Bar and a one of the short Barreled designs.

It's the outer barrel part, minus the bit that holds it into the foregrip block and minus the flash excluder.

 

I'll get back to you on the inner barrel - there's a post about it on here somewhere. Search though my posts and you might find it.

[Turver]

mythe123, thats an interesting setup you have, I used to have a Phantom kit on my ol' aug, ill try and dig up a picture.

[FastWinston]

Sorry to ask a question in a picture thread, but the correct answer will result in a nice little JG Aug picture How do you adjust the motor height? I am currently upgrading the gearbox with an element x25m spring, element bushings, element spring guide and element 200% torque gears but the gearbox does not wind properly. Somebody said it could be the motor height but a can’t figure it out. The JG is a TM copy so the adjustment should be the same. Again sorry to ask a question in the picture thread!

[Hedganian]

Are you sure that your motor is powerful enough to deal with your upgrades?

[FastWinston]

No not sure, but there shouldn’t be a problem should it? I mean it should be powerful enough, at least with the torque-up gearset (doesn’t that take some stress of the motor?).

[TerranCmdr]

Lost in the west, definitely let me know if you find an authentic HBAR flash hider.

[Lusingando]

Element upgrade parts are pure trash. Id rather throw my money out the window, then buying their parts.

 

FastWinston, since your from norway, take a look at theese danish reviews:

Oh, yes, so all of the myriad ELEMENT parts I've used were utter trash? The 20 or so guns I've upgraded with ELEMENT parts are all trash too?

 

HURRAH FOR SWEEPING GENERALIZATIONS BASED ON A FEW ISOLATED EVENTS.

[FastWinston]

yay , got it working with all element parts minus the beefy spring. I am going to go with this setup for I while until I feel the need for sniping, and need to put the new spring in. Also I messed about with the allen screw at the bottom of the motor cage, is that the motor height adjustment-thingy, because it didn’t seem to matter if it was all the way up or down?

[Hedganian]

As I suspected - it would seem that your motor is not powerful enough for the spring you were trying to use.

[FastWinston]

Yes that may be, but I also think that tinkering with the motor height had something to do with it, because I also tried both the stock and the CA spring before but nothing changed (i.e. the gearbox locked up). So I guess the only thing I did different now was the motor height (and maybe less shimming), and I have never heard of a china AEG motor not being capable of pulling a high fps spring, but maybe someone can enlighten me?

Edited October 5, 2007 by FastWinston

[TerranCmdr]

Um, china motors suck? Lol.

[FastWinston]

I'm not saying they are perfect, but I have not heard that they can’t pull a spring, even a powerful one.

[Sturaiku]

Um, Trolls suck? Lol. Aaand here's a quote from Darklite!

One of my buddies has a guarder M120 in his M16A4, perhaps it's just a bad shim job, or, like you said, a motor height issue.

[TerranCmdr]

YOU suck.

 

It's not that china motors suck, they just have sub-par quality control. Maybe things have changed since the first or second gen chinese guns, but my UTG MP5's motor would never be able to pull the M120 I put in it.

 

 

And about generalizations.... if more people say one thing rather than another, don't you think that might be more of an average than a generalization? Just a thought.

[renegadecow]

Its QC problems with china stuff.

Theoretically they (motors) can pull the hard stuff, but a lot of them still do burn out or aren't wound properly to even pull stock springs for long. They'll get better at it, definitely, but so will the price.

 

Anyhow, more on the mill-your-own H-bar, it's not all that costly to have a front set machined from scratch aluminum stock. It would be expensive to have the whole barrel assembly made, but you could always go the barrel extender route ala Guarder RPK.

[TerranCmdr]

I already have a spare stock-length barrel, I was thinking I could just cut it to the right length and then tap (I think this is the correct term?) it so I can screw it onto the end of the other stock length barrel I have.

You have an old clone, doesn't mean newer clones out there aren't as crappy as yours. I seem to see a lot of people owning cloned AEGs and praising them rather than complaining. Just a thought.

 

In any case, lets just drop this.

Edited October 5, 2007 by Sturaiku

[TerranCmdr]

Dropping it sounds good.

 

 

Hey, maybe that's why some of them don't work, because they were dropped?

[Sturaiku]

Chinese factories play the 3 second rule when an AEG falls? Sounds like a theory.

Here is a photo of my JG AUG. Don't mind the lack of photo skills and the pretentious nature of the photo, I’m just messing about
