TK4235 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Kenny, Yup the range is incredible.... and the recoil sound is simply unique. Stick in a double strength recoil spring and the sound is even louder BTW, what fps was yours doing out of the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Mine hit 280 with .25s right out of the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 TK4235 the fps was around 290 if I remember right on 0.2's I have an uprated recoil spring in there already Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Could always round it out a little with a file if you really wanted to. Also yeah I agree on the sound, I've had a lot of people turn and look at me as well when I fired haha. That'll be the next step but I didn't have a file with me the other night.

TK4235 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Ooooooo, now that's a welcome sight.... I wonder if it will come pre-painted...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaimon Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 im sure the for sale item will be anodized.just like their CNC buffer tube.i got it in black anodized. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 That reciever looks very nice. But I'll bet pricey. TK I checked the FPS again today as I was off work and got an average of 298fps which is what it was doing straight out the box, odd because the hop is now set - more Marui magic lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Please tell me their going to put a magpul logo on it O_o I'm buying it once it comes out if they do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Kenny... yup mine was doing similar out of the box too.... until I took it apart... haha. I may just regrease the piston and see if that helps....The m100 is taking it to about 320-330fps. so I figure stick in a m110 and see if I hit the magical 350fps....

White_Rabbit Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Mine is a little poorly the stock tube has become very loose, the stock tube twists but the nut is tight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just had one of rich's M100 springs in mine... with some steel gears, prometheus bearings and a prom my tight bore, but the rest is standard. Shoots 340 to 350 fps....Tasty.....

I have the M100 in mine and all pommy parts except standard gears and bearings... but mine does between 320-330fps...so what have I done wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sounds like a poor air seal, did you check the compression of the cylinder assembly before you put it back? Also did you check the hop rubber was still correctly seated once the chamber was on? I.e. The lip was still round the end of the barrel and not pushed up the barrel by the chamber. These are regular AEG problems don't know if there is anything elae specific to the new box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Mine is a little poorly the stock tube has become very loose, the stock tube twists but the nut is tight Might be the same as mine where the factory tightening had buggered the nut threads it lossened a little then jammed could be what yours has done?

White_Rabbit Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Im not sure really, its not jammed and still works but there is some movement wit hthe stock twisting and also a little play up and down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These are regular AEG problems don't know if there is anything elae specific to the new box. The compression is spot on... When I pushed the piston into the cylinder and then placed my finger over the air nozzle, I could not push the piston further until I released my finger...... so that is not the problem... The hop was also seated fine... this was tested by looking through the barrel and seeing the firefly's "nodules/fingers" coming through the hop unit..I think I could only see 2 perhaps 3 of the fingers though and not all 4.... (Don't know if that makes a difference or not...) The shims were all put back into the same place... and the sector gear put back at 90 degrees...(as per Richard's video)... Another thing, i'm using a madbull chrono and all shots are not consistent ...I even got one at 421fps!!! so today I got 333, 323, 316, 421, 316, 330, 310 fps all on semi... something is not right.... surely all shots should have the same fps give and take a few fps? Does the hop need bedding in first do you think? Edited October 21, 2011 by TK4235 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weekenny Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Cylinder sounds fine no need to re-grease too much can be as bad as too little but sounds just right at the moment. With the hop I didn't mean the 'nub' bits I've seen these ok but the lip that seals the air nozzle has still been pulled up, when the barrel is out the hop wraps round the end, the lip formed seals to the air nozzle you should still see this lip when it is in the unit correctly, unless using a madbull red rubber you may need a torch to see it right. I've heard poor reports about the Madbull chrono. All my shots on semi were within 6fps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yup may well be the madbull chrono... think i need to borrow a mates Gurader one and see what the chrono is then... Going back to the hop unit, I know I had problems sliding the barrel back into the hop unit and let's face it, one has to give it a good shove to get it in but if im being honest, I did not check if I could see the lip... I just looked through the unit and my eyes were focused on the 'fingers'. Perhaps I may have damaged to rubber? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Took the hop rubber out and it was fine... re-seated it and shoved it back in.... will chrono tomorrow and see what gives.... oh the joy.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kunlun Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Could be the chrono as I experienced a lot of different readings with a Madbull chrono. When using a M90 Eagle6 spring and testing with a Xcortech chrono I got about 330 fps (+-5 fps) with 0.20g and a Prometheus soft hop up bucking (purple one). Everything else is stock. All my internal parts arrived to install in the SOCOM! I'll take a picture tonight and probably will install it tuesday :-) Edited October 21, 2011 by Kunlun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 That's what i'm starting to think..... could well be a dodgy chrono... thing is, my site uses madbull chronos too which is why I have this one.. perhaps it's time to buy a real chrono.... Xcortech or Guarder 2000... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
