hwagan Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) COULD SOME ONE PLZ TELL ME HOW TO GET A CRANE STOCK BATTREY IN THE STOCK LOL and also is there anyway to prefent the rust or can u get new body pins because thay ruust lodes DURRRRRR A HAMMUR MAYBZ? *edit* Proper spelling, no unnecessary use of caps lock, decent grammar and some semblance of stringing a sentance together in a way that doesn't offend the mind would get you more detailed and useful answers. Seriously, going on your typing style, i'm going to assume you're in some way challenged, and therefore likely to blast your own face off if i tell you how to fit the battery. I don't want that on my conscience. Edited February 22, 2011 by hwagan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wingmann Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Still looks brand new! The side panels and foregrip are new (from my G&G FS51), and that gives a shiny impression. That and that I broke my left humerus in July and that seriously handicapped me for airsoft It has seen quite a few skirmishes though and I tend to use it to break through bushes... That talks volumes about the quality of the painting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herby Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I am currently using Mihm batterys in my sentry, if i switch to a 7.4v Lip 20c will i need a fuse?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 No. It's ready to go out of the box. or at least I hope so – I've put about 20,000 rounds through mine just like that, completely stock, and I hope it's not about to blow up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Pretty sure the Sentry is fused correctly out of the box to run 7.4v lipos. I didn't modify/change the fuse on mine and it fed on 7.4v lipo's since day one and never missed a beat. To this day, probably the best VFM AEG I have ever owned.

bladerunner168 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Sorry, my post was somewhat confusing I was meant to say that the Sentry can run 7.4v lipos out of the box without any modification, so if there is no fuse, I did not add one and it did not blow as a result of that decision.

Herby Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 OK, great. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I've used mine from the start with 7.4v LiPos and no fuse. I'm yet to have a problem with the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dickens Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Had mine a year now and it still perform's. Ive recently installed a 14.5" G&P outer barrel with 363mm tightbore and new G&P hop rubber. Ive owned approx 8-10 AEG's and this is the best by far for an all round performer. Updated picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Looks nice dude - Out of curiosity, how have you kept the VLTOR flashhider from rusting? I'm not too bothered by it, it's just a minor annoyance. Using Lipo's or NimH's? (On the subject of which, just to echo what's been said, these things are designed primarily for 7.4 lipo's).

sigma3 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yep, those remain my only two complaints about the Sentry: the rust (more annoying than an actual problem) and the stupid front sight (which I just need to suck it up and put a sight over the sight and be done with it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 the stupid front sight Do you also hit bushes with it and fold it down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yep! Can't count the number of times I've raised the rifle, trying to sight up, and then finding that they're folded down. If this was Real Life that *suitcase* would have been out the door on day one. Sadly, the VFC SR15 I just picked up has the exact same feature. I guess I should blame KAC – why would you design a sight without a positive locking mechanism?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest i just wipe the thing down every time i get home from a game and that has kept the rust at bay (must be lucky lol) As for batt's i use HimH's more specifically these bad boys http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/gandp-9-6v-1600mah-ni-mh-battery-twin-t-shape.html The only thing that annoys me about the sentry (and this is more my fault in the fact that i still haven't started using lipo's) is the battery change's, bit of a pain tbh.

harborne blue Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I love mine - deffo my best modern AEG but... how do you get the darn flash hider off? I've got a funky little silencer I want to fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's a G&P, so for starters you know that it's clockwise rather than CCW, right? Mine comes right off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers www.component-shop.co.uk - Stock up on 7.4 volt either 8, 11, or 1200 MaH stock tube sticks - It's so much easier, and gives you the choice of any stock you like. They won't explode/melt your house, and they're less maintenance than NimH's. I've run all of mine on these batteries for as long as i can remember and haven't once had a problem, and i'm the laziest person ever when it comes to batteries. I love mine - deffo my best modern AEG but... how do you get the darn flash hider off? I've got a funky little silencer I want to fit G&P threadlock them on, so it might take some bashing and swearing. Best way is to borrow an AR-15 wrench if you don't have one.

TheFull9 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 If it's the stock VLTOR style FH then it's got spanner flats on there, so any adjustable spanner will do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taragon Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I used one of these last weekend and it really did put a smile on my face Have been searching around for a UK retailer with one in stock with no joys as of yet. There a G&P Sentry UK shortage atm...?? Will also add that my friend had one hell of a time getting his flash hider off also! Took both of us + some insulating take and some giant grips to get it loose. Edited April 15, 2011 by Taragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There a G&P Sentry UK shortage atm...?? They always do, hence why they're so often out of stock! Still, on the bright side; http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2elandwarriorairsoft%2ecom%2f&WD=sentry&PN=M4_and_Long_Rifles%2ehtml%23aGP901#aGP901 LandWarrior have got them all in except for the one with the Magpul lower receiver, and they're probably going to be the cheapest in the UK.

SwatMP5man Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just ordered mine from LWA, plans so far are to Kyrlon the stock, pistol grip and rail covers in FG and add an FG RVG in place of the standard VFG. Internally i'll be swapping the hop out for a TM rubber, and depending on FPS a new spring to take it down to 370fps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 If you want it at 370 my bet is that you won't need to do anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
