Rogue Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Anybody by any chance got the hop arm ADJUSTER/slider? The bit that you slide to change the hop? On the outside of the barrel? Yeah, I'm looking for one of those!! Do they come with the hop-up & barrel aftermarket set? Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Anyone know if there are any stocks available for the VSR-10 that aren't bog standard M40A1 stocks, looking for a mor modern look to my weapon and running out of luck finding anything. Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 They come with the TM set. Not doing the TDC mod anymore? Still doing TDC but a friend needs one. Anyone know if there are any stocks available for the VSR-10 that aren't bog standard M40A1 stocks, looking for a mor modern look to my weapon and running out of luck finding anything. There's a nice ebr looking stock on x-fire, and only costs a small mortgage. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well, I've got the arm adjusting set from my JG BAR-10 that I don't need anymore. Though personally your mate is better off if you convince him to do the TDC mod too. Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Tried convincing him. Apparently he's worried that his gun won't be aesthetically pleasing if there's a screw sticking out of it, and he doesn't want to have to take the gun apart if the TDC screw is tapped straight onto the hop arm inside. Some people, eh? Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well UK customs have cleared my pdi parts with a loving fee to pay ,, yes £11 in vat and another £13:50 ransom to Royal farce mail ,so testing will be sorted this week with results But im now in a bad position ,if i go way way back in the pictures there im sure i made referrence to a Sun Project m40a1 ,well after years of looking i found another and it should be here monday .. oh what to do ....

Rogue Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Oh beautiful! Was this the one up on zero in recently? I hear a lot about the coveted SP m40a1. Are the internals good, because I guess for a 10-year-old gun that's as rare as water in a desert, they'd be hard to come by upgrades/replacements! What're your plans? I was going to go for one, but in the end (just in time, too, before I almost sold my vsr!! ) I found a nice Japanese wooden vsr stock. I've posted it a million times all over the place, but one more time can't harm.... boastboastboast Link to post Share on other sites
bitchtits Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I had s un project a few years ago but stupidly sold it. The internals are very simple but work well. Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Same here I used to have an a1 and sold it like a clown , I have sourced a few parts so fingers crossed , I'm more excited about the SP than sorting the vsr I've been looking for one for the last 8 years Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 wondering if anyone else had the problem that there outerbarrel threads stripped the first time they removed it like mine did hasnt affected anything but i wasnt pleased This happens because the forward most screw on the Ris Rail goes through and into tbe outer barrel thread. I found that out the hard way, had to force it off and completely destroyed the thread. I blag this as a quick-release outer barrel ;-). If I ever buy another VSR, removing that screw is the very first thing I'll be doing. Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hey guys seem to have an interesting issue related to my PDI hop-up. Every so often BBs tend to "catch" my hop rubber and get a small portion of the feed lip caught between the BB and the barrel jamming my weapon and destroying the rubbers. I'm trying to figure out what is causing this but I keep thinking its one issue, only to find that its not. I've searched google to no avail, hoping someone could chime in. Also can anyone recommend a preferred hop-up rubber and nub combo for the PDI hop-ups, I've got a straight spacer in there now and still don't seem to get enough hop.

Rogue Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Sorry but I can't help you out there as I don't have a PDI hop, but the only idea I have is, is your cylinder head made by PDI as well? I'm not entirely sure of the difference between aeg barrels and the vsr ones, as I've never bothered opening up an aeg, but if all else fails, would the r-hop concept be of any use to you? There are videos of it on youtube. Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 well I think I narrowed it down to a bur on the cylinder head, we'll see. I've been thinking of getting an R-hop.... could be fun. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 AEG barrels are cut differently. While the hop window and the long groove on its opposite side are about the same as with GBB barrels, AEG barrels do not have the radial groove to secure the edge of the hop rubber and the notch for securing the inner barrel to the hop chamber are positioned differently. Concerning the PDI hop rubber that's folding up on itself and lack of hop effect, have you tried using a harder grade of rubber? Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 First I have a PDI inner barrel if that makes a difference I thought the rubber durameter might be an issue, so I've ordered a harder rubber the the systema standard rubber I have sitting around. It will take some time to get here but the second rubber I tried was very hard clear blue SHS rubber, and worked very well until it jammed a second time (I've since learned that the jamming issue is related to improperly re-building the replica and I have put a few mags through without issue). The first rubber destroyed was the one PDI supplied, and was very hard and applied some hop, although not much, the SHS was very hard and worked well, so I'm hoping that I'm just a high power noob and my problem is because I've used soft rubbers or stock/"standard" rubbers my whole airsoft career.

docs90 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ok managed to do some testing this evening with the pdi hop .6.01 inner barrel 554mm and the w -bucking ,now after a lot of messing to get the flight straight with left and right movement ,i have found the w bucking very good for consistancy , a 9 inch plate at 61 metres was my target and out of the 100 rounds i fired this evening i would say that a good %75 landed on target while the others were not 6 inches from the target My tests were done with madbull .4s but here lies my problem even with the screws turned out i still cannot get the pdi hop to lift the bbs in a manner which im happy with , i have changed to nub for a slightly larger one and still no joy the .4s seem to drop at around 70 metres ,perhaps the w-bucking is to soft for these bbs ,as i did try a .36 and there was a massive differnce in flight and distance ,the next thing i will try is a smaller O ring to add more pressure to the hop arms and will report bad Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Good work, Doc. I have the same issue with .4s, but am looking to swap out to .32s anyway. I know a lot of 500fps snipers who are more than happy with sub .36s, including noobie. I'm hitting 70m with .4s though which is outstanding for any hop when you consider that without hop effect a .4gram bb firing at 2 joules should only travel 44m or so. Just bought a vsr walnut hogue style (kind of l96 looking) stock from aspuk facebook page. Looks gorgeous and will post it up when my laptop comes back from shop. This does mean previously posted wooden stock will be up for grabs soon. Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 TBH i have used other weights of bbs over the years but the problem i have had seems to be receipiants seem to be less inclinded to take /feel hits from lower weighted bbs at greater distances ,more so the lads in plate carriers ect , with the .4 there is a louder shwack on cordura meaning players are more likely to take hits Any how , o-rings changed and other tinkering down will test again this evening Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sorry to jump the thread, but does anyone know if .32's are available anywhere in the UK? I've had a quick google and failed to come up with much... Link to post Share on other sites
Geri Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I don't know did you heard about it, a can't remember I saw this here before, but it's a cnc made "dual hopup arm" (and some others) and it can be adjusted with a screw through the barrel: Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well me and Mr pdi hop unit almost had a fall out but the better MAN won in the end thanks to a sliver of elastic band and a smaller god awful difficult to fit O-ring , i now have the flight and ability to lift .43s should i desire and after 90 minutes of sorting the left and right lift bars , im now good for sending a .4 out past 85 metres in straight flight , and accuarcy seems to have remained as i was bouncing a coke can around the yard at around 50 metres Happy now Link to post Share on other sites
