Getting a JG Bar 10 gen2

(I had to adjust the trigger mech on my TM VSR too lol)
Hah,so did I :P Even the best get lemons it seems. Maybe it was one batch where they miffed the Trigger pull screw positions or just didn't bother test firing them.

OP,I assume you've been adjusting trigger pull and stroke? On the adjustment window,the trigger should be holding up the trigger sear,but not be perfectly flat,but slightly at an angle so the squared off bit should be contacting the sear. Trial and error won't do any harm

 
Decided to try fixing it again today, all I did was losen the Alan key screws on the body and it works flawlessly!

My next issue is I can't really see a difference between having the hop on or off. Does it need bedding or is there something else I need to check.

You'll probs need to do thw biro mod to the hop arm or upgrade the hop arm, if it is like the TM it won't lift anything heavier than a 0.2g BB

 
I can't find any information on the biro mod

Biro Mod is fine on the TM, The JG hop arm has a bit too much "slop". A good upgrade is the Type B lever (Dangerwerx or Airsoft pro) and ditch the crappy hop rubber, The TM ones are fab TBH, although I'm currently trying a PDI W hold one as I now have a TBB fitted. PTFE the cylinder head and hop rubber and you should see a 20 fps increase.

 
Finally decided on these upgrades. Note I'm not going to increase the FPS just yet, going to try the sniper out in the field with these upgrades. If I like it then I'll go and increase the FPS and relevant parts for that.

Thinking of getting a dangerwax or Airsoft Pro hop lever too

 
Oh yeah I'm getting a whole new unit doh!

 
Decided to get the parts from a UK based retailer instead. They don't do the two hop rubbers I've sown here but have the Action Army one instead. Im sure I'll get similar results with this one. Also the barrel is an Action Army "silver streak" one, I'm assuming it's the same thing?

 
All upgrade parts are in apart from the concave nub which is still in the post. Wasn't too difficult to upgrade using that YouTube video.

So FPS has gone up from 330 to 385 which is great. Not sure of accuracy and range as it got dark and I'm using 0.25g bbs.

Since my FPS is sub 400 what weight BBs should I use?

0.3g should be fine. The RWA Airsoft Surgeon 0.3g BBs are the best I've ever used.

 
aye. I have got them from elsewhere in the past too but can't remember where though.

 
I might give them a try. I've given Devil .30s a go in my M249 but I can't tell if they're any good as that thing chops like there's no tomorrow until it hits the 8-10k mark.

 
Managed to do some test shots this morning. Using .25g BBs and they fly out straight as an arrow! They go so far that I can't actually see the drop :) Will be getting some 0.3g and 0.32g BBs soon and will use them to test accuracy and zeroin my scope.



 
Did some accuracy and range testing today. My target is a meta pipe about the length of a torso and I placed it at around 130 feet.

Out of 10 shots 5 would hit the target. The odd one or two were widely off target an the rest were probably due to me being a noob at sniping. I wasn't proned, I was just holding the sniper stood up and aiming down the scope.

The scope seems to be zeroed in already :) obviously the BBs don't hit at the center of the crosshairs but this is Airsoft not Battlefield 4.

Had an issue where the bolt wouldn't lock back into place. Taking it apart it's the pin that keeps slipping down, is there a fix for this?



Also what could be causing some shots to go widely of target? Could it be no bbs are too light at 0.3g?
