hmg9194 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I was told the 1 j limit for the revolution set is with a tm motor, and that the element will be able to power it like a champ. By lock up, what do you mean? Should sorbo do anything to fix/make it worse if it is to occur? I really hope I don't have problems with this build Not so much the $ factor or the pain it is to fix, but I want this thing top notch in the field to have people hating on my as soon as possible!

AnakChan Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Interesting, if that were the case, if I were RiotSC, I wouldn't have put a J limit on the gears but on the motor instead. You may be ok with the GS-R but just to let you know he did put the specs down to 1J for the gears. Anyhow, most likely it'll be tougher than advertised specs. Despite this, do take note that RiotSC's gear has broken before (http://forums.airsoftmechanics.com/index.php?topic=1995.msg26198#msg26198) - but a very very rare occurrence. Â By lockup, I mean piston pulled all the way back but un-releasable. Sorbo to fix the AOE should be fine. Initially I was concerned about the added length but it doesn't matter as it's the end of the piston to the release tooth that matters - not the added length between the release tooth and the piston head; that length doesn't matter. Â I'm very happy with my ACR now with the mods I've done. The Scorpion HRC-X500 with the micro trigger gives is a almost a hair trigger. And with RiotSC's 14:1 GS-R gears & swiss cheesed Red Element piston, I have a decent RoF. But probably one of the most rewarding mods I did was to do the G-Hop on the hop-up, I'm getting good range and groupings whilst staying within Japan's legal limits. My colleagues who played with my ACR in our last field game were thoroughly impressed with it - it's my current pride and joy. Â P.S. nice choice with the PTS ACR suppressor. When I got mine, the PTS wasn't out yet so I settled for a Gemtech :- http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=189637&st=0&p=2375211entry2375211 Edited January 4, 2011 by AnakChan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) From what the maker of the gears told me, I'll be fine. As well as EVERYONE on ASF telling me it's fine. I'm sure it won't be a problem. As far as the locking up goes, I think I'm safe. Hopefully. Time will tell but from what I have gathered it seems my setup will power through any problems. What was the thing you did to your hopup? as that is the only issue I have having... Still kind of want to put a SCS nub on there like my tavor has and thanks on the compliment, it's very quite nice, although kind of front heavy now actually I don't see myself using the suppressor in game much, more as just eye candy. We'll see though. It's not TERRIBLE. I DO although seeing myself using it with the tavor as it tends to be kind of back heavy... Oh well w/e, glad I made the purchase. Is it just me or do any type of bulky attachments, or any at all for that matter imo, just look.... bad on the masada? Idk. I just don't like it unless it is plain... Maybe it's because I don't want to scratch her yet nothing on this rail yet! Edited January 4, 2011 by hmg9194 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Seems a genius idea that has to be said, not sure I'd have the time or patience to set it up and fine tune until it was working just right though. By the looks of it, some manufacturer could produce factory made buckings with the big square inside to achieve the effect along with appropriate nubs, maybe... ?

hmg9194 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 That would be cool, but I can't believe there isn't just a real easy simple fix of the hopup arm to make it stronger and more sensitive and such. Also I questiong I had. WHY THE HELL do ALL AEGs hopups turn like 3/4 of it do NOTHING and only the 1/4 actually getting to where it is functional... It would be amazing if it was 1/2 to 1/2 or even 1/4 to 3/4 then it would take care of hopup problems in most guns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Probably this is becoming to drift quite off-topic, but PDI has a new bucking which I may buy to try in my ACR & compare it against the G-Hop I've done (got a few spare inner barrels).

The Vainguard Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 11.5" Barrel  http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/magpul-pts-masada-acr-11-5inch-barrel-set-cqb.html  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Lol ehobby always teasing new parts, not a fan of the AK lower, I thought like the SR47 it would use a magazine release similar to an AR or ACR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 It looks great, but I think magazines that'll cost about $25 a pop, that are never going to work in any other gun but this, might put a few people off. Â PTS did a pretty good job making all the different modular bits for the gun I'm not denying that, it's just a shame about the restriction with the position of the hop unit.

LeftyFlip Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 does anyone know if they've canceled the 10.5" barrel in lieu of just releasing the 11.5"? Because while I def want a cqc barrel I don't need two and I want the most cqc for my buck if you get what I'm saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Good point, the original docs show only 1xshort barrel but there's 2xtext next to it (11.5" AK short barrel, 10.5" CQ(B?). Â However, based on current design, 10.5" would put the FH right under the gas block - little room to slip on a suppressor over. Unless they're re-designing a new barrel where the gas block is recessed even shorter (which I'd doubt since that's additional design/manufacturing overhead). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Anyone else notice eHobby selling the ACR with the folding stock for $490? Or am I just slow? XD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeftyFlip Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I like that the 11.5 can take the suppressor so I'll probably just pick that one up regardless. Def looks nice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I say this barrel is plenty cqbish, hell i think the regular barrel is easy to get by with. Â Almost 3 inches actually. I think i like the short barrel as i dont have an extra 3 inches of gun to poke around doorways in CQB, which might not sound much, but when you hold the very end of the handguard, you know you can pretty much put the gun where your hand is. Rather than have to worry about the extra 4-5 inches that is beyond your hand. Edited January 6, 2011 by SwatMP5man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 It is unsubstantiated but I heard from a supplier that the CQB 10.5" barrel has been cancelled. TBH the 11.5" is plenty short enough and does at least mean that you can use a shorter barrel set up with the original polymer handguard without having to buy the RIS unit too. Which you would have needed to do for the 10.5" barrel. Â Got mine on order with a suppressor so when it comes I'll take some photos and do a short review within the review!
