    How in the fuck did you manage that?

    dropped it sideways onto the mag, thought the mag was the only bit got bent, but looks like the reciever is aluminium and easy bent.

    fortunately there's plenty of room inside so i think i'm going to get some steel bar and bolt it on the sides to reinforce it.

    great day's airsofting, couple of spoilsports but mostly grand. f2000 still isnt feeding though.

    however, new belt rig worked out pretty well, nice lightweight alternative.

    Adolf Hamster
    Hmm, starting to think perhaps the sig might be nearing retirement, great gun but its really starting to show its age.

    Wonder what i should replace it with

    possibly, i can't decide between old school akm, ak74u with folding stock and big can, or going dmr with a gbb dragonuv.

    either way the most modern thing i'd put on an ak is a red dot, and that's only because red dots rule

    possibly, i'll likely run with irons for a while then make my mind up.

    although i tend to find any gun running irons i tend to revert to just watching bb impacts, whereas a well zeroed red dot has me actually aiming with it.

    i should write a book "when springs go sproing: a tale of one man and his mission to avoid having to crawl around under tables"

    i think i could rival the brothers karamazov for page count.

    well, today's bi-monthly redesign of load carrying rig has revealed the viper pouches i've had for years had a second velcro adjustment so i can actually fit my speedloader in one. which is great because it gives me much more room over the double pouch i was using.

    Adolf Hamster
    Well, the f2000 is sort of feeding now, tappet plate was just a little tight so sanded it a tad, hopefully should wear in a bit easier with use.

    Debating selling the luger for a mauser because shoulder stock

    And finally the "whats on your mind" box seems to still be playing sillybuggers.

    Oh, and i bought an mr2

    Long status update lol

    Like really long

    Ok now i'm just taking the mick

    I would imagine version 6 gearboxes are shimmed like tight version 3's. Where you shim the box like normal making a note of the shim count either side of every gear. Then just take the tappet and sector with the other side of the gearbox and work out how many shims need to move to that side for the tappet to run free. Then make that adjustment to the other gears and check it's all running nice. It does mean you get some funky pinion engagement at times but it's normally decent enough that it's not going to cause problems.

    Its not the gears are my problem, its the tappet itself, the original tappet broke and the guarder tappet thats in there now is a smidge on the tight side at the front of the box between the nozzle and the case.

    Adolf Hamster
    well, the mg's back on form, kind of annoying that it shoots so well on .3's, i don't have the budget to feed her that!

    Even at it's infamous 1500rpm that's still £10 per minute! I imagine yours could shoot a lot faster too.

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    thought the original was 1200rpm?

    that's what mine's shooting at anyway.

    had an engagement with a chap using a glock carbine and somehow i ran out of ammo first :P  that's what i get for understanding the principle of suppresive fire.

    SeniorSpaz87

    Theres a bit of debate on that. 1200 rpm was the average - depending on the bolt installed it was anywhere between 900-1500 rpm

    Adolf Hamster
    well, game on tomorrow and the only working gun is the mg42.

    oh what a terrible life i'm leading....

    it is, but not as bad as you'd think when you consider you don't need any spare mags/speedloaders/other random paraphernalia just the gun and a bag o bb's

    I need to convince my lazy mate who owns a M249 to sell it to me...He hasn't played since October.  Just the gun and nothing else does sound very appealing.  :)

    definately a good idea man, support guns offer a completely different kind of fun when you can do actual suppressive fire and hold an entire team at bay.

    most fun i've ever had airsofting was when i borrowed a mate's m60, only time i've seen people blatantly not taking hits and not got annoyed about it because i'd killed them about 20 times per person and i sympathised with the hopelessness of their plight.

    admittedly you can get the same effect with an arp9 and a drum mag for the same weight as just the stock on the mg, but there's something so satisfying about having a freaking massive gun.

    Adolf Hamster
    well, turns out the mg is using a standard v2 tappet plate, which is awesome because it seems to want to eat them

    i appreciate the advice, i get what you're saying that the tappet plate could be hitting the cylinder and stretching it.

    there's no tappet "window" on this box per say, it's a really strange design (a 2 peice split with the handguard being it's own unit with all the gears and the top being a big rectangular box with the cylinder/tappet)

    the brass clip is more like a washer- it's mounting hole is dead centre and there's about 2.5-3mm extra draw, and it's coupled with the longest nozzle i've seen on an AEG (think double m4 length)

    like i say, gun is bone stock, i wouldn't even have had it apart if it hadn't eaten the tappet plate (after about 15k rounds), so atm i'm suspecting either a weak tappet plate or too strong a return spring being the main culprits.

    only other possibility is given the handguard unit is a seperate peice maybe it slid out of position when being carried and made the difference.

    The window I refer to is how that 7mm or 8mm sits and allows feed/sealing

    if you had a nozzle too short you will have lovely feeding but $hit seals

    if you had a nozzle that was too long you get great seals but $hit feeding

    so all this crap is about ensuring the nozzle is correct length

    (which it probably is)

    and then ensuring the "window" or where the tappet/nozzle moves

    allows the correct "window" position of nozzle retracting/returning

    if it is operating say more than 0.5mm out of whack/position

    you will get either feed/seal issues

    retracting tappet too far trying to compensate or increase stuff

    runs the risk of smashing crap out of tappet if not checked

    or at the very least wearing out the fin very very quickly

    That window wasthe where there 7 or 8mm movement is sitting bang on

    not a rear inspection window like many v2's have

    ensuring it all operates within the correct position/window/tolerance  etc...

    Adolf Hamster

    yeah, it's a very long nozzle due to the hop design, and i suspect they have the long stroke on the tappet to keep feeding issues down, not sure why it's such a strong spring as it's not like it needs to deal with midcaps.

    she shoots and feeds incredibly well, so it's safe to assume they're right with the nozzle/stroke combination. although i still think the spring is way too strong which might be why it died.

    we'll see how this new plate works out, and if it eats that one i'll swap the spring out for a weaker one and check it's not bottoming out

    Adolf Hamster
    why can't i stop buying stuff for the m4 when what it really needs is a new motor....

    I'm going for a lighter setup, so ive swapped the awesome but heavy vltor rail for an moe hanguard so i bought a gas block rail so i can still attatch the bipod and i've also decided to get a proper flip to side mount rather than the qd mount i have for the magnifier.

    Also an sa80 sling so i dont have to constantly switch the one off the f2000

    I love my MOE Handguard. Fits my battery perfectly and is so much lighter than the other rails I have. Looks great too imo.

    I'm rear wired, because its bad enough dissassembling a king arms m4 without front wiring, but its made the gun so much more pointable.

    Meanwhile the f2000 still isnt feeding, the sig is shooting harder than most rifles, the 1911 is still leaking gas and the mg has eaten its own tappet plate.

    Airsoft life eh?

    Adolf Hamster
    well, finally after more time and money than i'm comfortable i now have an m4 with a hair trigger and a working mosfet. now all i need to do is figure out why it thinks the fully charged lipo is low

    after todays performance i quite believe it, although admittedly part of that is because i screwed up and got caught by the ol' v2 eating it's own wires mistake.

    It sucks when that happens V3 boxes are so much better.

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    lol, i'll bear that in mind for when this decides it isn't going to run any more, although i need to stop spending money on airsoft for the time being.

    i think it's just my curse, as soon as i get a gun running sweet i feel the need to mess with it and end up breaking something. plan was the mosfet that was in there was going into the mg but i think i'll hold off on that until after sunday :D

    Adolf Hamster
    Well, with a gentle fizz there goes £60's worth of mosfet. I should really never be allowed to use a soldering iron.....

    Its only a crease, Iron it back out.... I'll see myself out.

    £60 - what one did ya blow up ???

    thought Gate Titan's came pre-wired or part pre-wired

    It isn't the soldering iron so much

    well unless you are using a 50w chisel tip with plumbers solder

    It is the technique mostly apply too much heat for too long etc....

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    Twas one of those whole trigger unit jobs, first fitting it ate its own wiring so i re-did it and it died. Not sure if it was already dead before i made the new loom or not.

    Its a 40w pointy tip iron, wasnt the soldering itself killed it as i was patching onto the original cables

    This is my punishment for angering the gods of "if it aint broke leave it the feck alone"

    Adolf Hamster
    let's put the magpul stock back on the m4 i thought, lets put a bolt-in mosfet kit in i thought...

    4 hours later it's still not working. now i remember why i had an m16 stock on there in the first place

    lol, i've just had to completely re-do the wiring and it's still not working, so maybe i shouldn't mess with these things :P

    Echoing my own thoughts.

    Adolf Hamster
    indeed, always the way- gun doesnt work, you fix it, gun does work you try to improve it and end up breaking it.

    and the cycle continues....

    Adolf Hamster
    urgh, really want to go airsofting now the mg&m4 are on top form and my grenade is finally working again.

    roll on the 13th, checking out a new site and we're rolling out all the hpa's and support guns we can get our hands on

    Adolf Hamster
    so halfway through taking the mg apart to change it to a 1j spring, and i realise it's got a tool-less quick change
