Raketen Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 okay so i just checked again, and it seems like it could be tightened a little more. How do i do that? There is just a round hole in the middle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raketen Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 okay... so im very sorry for spamming this thread.. but it seems like its just the normal force on some ptw's. Now my next question is. How do i remove the inner barrel and hopup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Remove the charging handle and it should just pull out :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raketen Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 oh okay thx! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raketen Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi again i just encountered a new problem. When i open op the ptw the gears cycle fine. But when i close it and shoot, the motor just spins for a second and then stops and won't run before i replug the battery. any one got a solution for this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7MutKpFu6A&feature=c4-overview&list=UUiSHolO-rkvdtaRZTvsdwlw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thatguy404 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Usually an electrical issue.Possibly motor. Is LED flashing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raketen Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 there is no led in the A&K mk4 that i know of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jal3 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well you know, if there's an error indicator, it's the first thing to break... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyng Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Its not pulling the cylinder so check metal teath rack in the cyl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raketen Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) The problem is there isnt any visible errors the tooth rack is perfect. Maybe i should make my own thread? Edited March 1, 2014 by Raketen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Im back again with MOAR questions... well, just one TBH... Im pondering the FCC rotatory hop up+barrel combo and I would like to know if there is a better option in the same price range (130$ shipped) or if it is a sound upgrade option I own a DTW MAX3, if that helps Thanks for the help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raketen Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 In what country do you live? i got one for sale as it did not fit the a&k PTW :'( if you live in side EU, you could buy from me for 80Euro shipping is between 10-20Euro i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The consensus seems to be that the std ptw hop with the cushion modified is the way to go.Or the orga barrels.I may dabble with the KDH AEG barrel hop. Atm mine is firing like a laser on a stock ptw hop + barrel, and ptw cylinder. With a dytac outer barrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Orga barrels are absurdly expensive =,( same with their flat hop nubs for PTWs, im working in an rhop alternative for TWs, but I need a spare hop+barrel Any idea where I can get a PTW combo thatguy404? just hope I dont need to invest in the hop+barrel+cylinder+outer barrel or I will sell the *censored thing =( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) What's up with the original?The max3 hop wasn't terrible?Orga is expensive.The cylinder relates to most problems on the DTW. Replace the cylinder with PTW one, or replaced the nozzle and related parts (about £15GBP) with PTW for good results.Dytac outer barrel was about 22USD from RSOV. Ptw Cylinder was expensive, but solved my chopping issues. PTW barrel and hop are £69GBP brand new. As I said.I'd like to try a KASTMAN KDH Hop unit.Aeg barrel compatible. I'd like to drop in a TK twist with flat hop, or simple G&G green. Edited March 27, 2014 by thatguy404 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The original is not terrible, its the barrel, the part which enters into the nub ring is too fat for aftermarket nub rings, making my tests a bit difficult and I dont want to keep filling it and risk breakage =( Are those barrels really 22$? I have been looking around and they are not cheaper than 50$ =( maybe they raised the price? Is the KASTMAN chamber on sale? I havent seen it anywhere, last thing I know is that he was working in a second gen version as the first one had problems with some buckings+barrels setups... EDIT: OK, I said nothing, video of the installation https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=vb.391410187580635&type=2 He sells them through facebook, 125€ shipping included + own barrel... ufff... pricey. Will give it a tought -_-U Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Aye not cheap for the Kastman http://www.rsov.com/product.php?langId=1¤cyId=1&manufacturerId=10&prodId=16695&cateId=0£43 usd, gone up a tad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have to see the video carefully at home, but it looks like a nice chamber. have you got some more information about it, thatguy404? That price boost is not strange, TW prices are painfuly high even for silly cheap parts. Hope the more common ACM clones start to make those prices go down or I will be buying an ASAR as soon as it is confirmed it is reliable, unlike their ASCUs and ASHUs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyng Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Its not the barrel or chamber that makes the gun shoot great, but how its put together, people seem to forget that. And besides the hop-up unit you also need bucking and barrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I understand that concept Lyng, but I believe the DTW MAX3 is already nicely put together, and the only thing I feel not completly comfortable is the hop+barrel setup, not that it is bad, but it feel it is too ACM for my likings I think about the Kastman chamber not only because it will be an improvement, to some degree, over the stock chamber but because I will be able to use one of the AEG barrels I already own along with one of the buckings in my spares box and hopefully rhop it (watched the video, not a chance of a proper rhop). Not to mention Im cheap as chips and I dont like paying 60$ for a simple 6.03mm TBB which differs to AEG barrels in a simple cut and are fatter for no good reason This said, I havent got the slightest clue about what route to take, FCC? KDM? Both? my already low budget hates me with a passion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyng Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thb kdm and fcc gen 2 is just for ease off adjustment, it doesent aid in precision or range. Concentrate on getting the adjuster to sit tight arround the inner barrel, change the cushings to hard ones or a spring, and the nub to a more soft version then the original, thats pretty much it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the nub, I will be using the MAG concave (glued) or a home made RHOP patch. That should settle it for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
