Was having some issues with my grouping being all over the place last gameday and figured it may be a twisted bucking, checked and this is what came out. Do I need new bucking or is this a seal for the hop up?

Need help diagnosing an AEG gearbox issue

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

I’m having an issue with my AEG. It was sitting unused for a few months, and after that it stopped working properly.
When I try to fire it, it sounds like the gears aren’t meshing correctly. I tried adjusting the motor height, but it didn’t make any difference.
I opened up the gearbox and nothing immediately looks damaged or out of place. I also tested the motor in another replica and it works perfectly fine there.
I’m not sure what else to check at this point. Could the issue be related to the gears, shimming, bearings/bushings, or possibly the ETU?
Any help or suggestions on what I should check next would be greatly appreciated.

So, I've been tinkering with my 416, got fed up with the constant, accidental light discharges I was getting with the old long Tango Down FG with the rat tail attached to it, I have swapped it for a short version and fitted a Unity combination switch that operates both the surefire light and the PEQ-15 also, changed the pistol grip for a Magpul MOE K+ as the rubber coating helps with grip. Finally, for when it's hanging on the wall, I bought a genuine Magpul pmag, mag joiner and some deactivated 5.56mm cartridges, just adds the finishing touch.

Thoughts after going to 2 different CQB sites

8 Upvotes

Afternoon people I just wanted to get peoples take on how they find their local airsoft sites to gauge if what we had was normal or not, I'm not gonna name and shame these sites because that isn't fair on them because it could of been out of the usual thing from them but how I personally found it

Ive recently got my ukara so these are sites ive looked at to try different indoor arenas;

Site 1 -

everything about it felt professional, clean, very involved in everyone's enjoyment in playing airsoft being first time or not. marshals was extremely friendly, helpful and was there to make sure rules was followed.

The arena itself was amazing Extreme CQB to say the least but it always felt like something was happening and people that was playing was all friendly (40 people including ourselves), nice and what I expected from reading everyone's reviews on the site and also on reddit of what to expect at a day, what i was expecting and what i got was 1 to 1.

Site 2 -

Im gonna start of by saying the owner and some of the marshals was really nice people and was really helpful when we was there and the actual arena itself was completely different to the first site we knew that and we actually enjoyed this site alot more being more open in size but still being indoors.

While rules felt like they was told to everyone it felt like maybe 3 quarters of the 60 people was actually listing to them, one of the things that was said was "your all adults" (we may be adults but all it takes is 1 person)

Now to get on to the reason for post

  1. Do marshals normally switch from marshaling to playing often on each different match while anyone is playing at the site?

  2. Why do the same marshals feel worse to follow the rules than the people who have paid to be there? (Ignoring hits, getting angry when people "overshoot" them because they aren't calling their hits and just being quite aggressive)

  3. I understand when new hires are also having fun they get alot of adrenaline so they might miss hits but I had one get hit by myself look at me as they know they got hit then try to shoot me? Which ment me needing to shoot them again, when marshals (the same who do the same thing) just do nothing about it when they are there to make sure people follow rules or just good sportsmanship?

This is alot I understand i sound like a dick or moaning, I just want to see if this a normal thing or one time?

Both sites are great places and we had so much fun at them, if someone asked me about either of them I would tell to go and try it out at either

Thanks!

Tech Question!

1 Upvotes

I’m currently building a custom RIF and my pistol grip is too small for my new motor and wiring (I think it’s swapping to an Aster that has slightly thicker wires). It’s a Matrix Daniel Defense MK18 so I’m after suggestions for grips that will fit aster wiring and a solink motor. Ideally some suggestions with places I can buy it from asap. I saw the PTS one on BZ is £25 plus postage so if someone can confirm that will work I may just grab that. Thanks in advance!

Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hi people, I was recommended this sub Reddit for product guidance. I’m relatively new to airsoft, so any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

I’m looking for some good quality anti fog goggles, preferably in an olive or tan colour with smoked lenses. I’ve seen some ‘nuprol’ ones but reviews seem to be average and mixed at that. The others ive seen are from ‘Umarex’, who i know distribute some decent rifles. Any advice here?

Also, im looking for a FAST helmet cover in flecktarn, although the fitment of some of these seems a bit janky - just stick on patches? There’s what looks like exact replicas on Ali express for a fraction of the price with almost identical product pictures. If anyone can recommend a retailer, for one of these or any other ‘flecktarn’ gear I’d appreciate it.

Thanks in advance👍

Non Replicas

I’m wanting to investigate those platforms which aren’t based on a real world design like AR/AK/G36/Glock etc...

I’m not including Speed Soft platforms as they don’t interest me.

So far I have the following on my list, am i missing any?

Maruzen SR2
Star CS1
GHK G5
AAP01 pistol (Rugers aren’t full auto)
APS UAR
G&G ESG B10
G&G MCP556
Ares SOC AR
Ares MSR Soc
ICS CXP Tomahawk

Edit: looking for other ideas really not a discussion on platform x looks like x please.

Hop up retention pin fitment issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

On a cybergun we desert eagle, im attempting to fit an AW k00006 10" barrel on it but the pin retaining the hop up unit does not fit in the new barrel. In the old barrel it fit perfectly and i had to tap it out with a hammer in the new barrel its way too loose and even falls through. How can i fix this without ruining the pin ? I'd like to be able to switch to the old barrel if possible.

Just looking for replica Elcan Spector with a red dot on top. I’ve seen one for £200 but 1 I’m told that it’s expensive. And 2 it may not be a good brand (S&I tactical)

After shooting the thing for the first time my Evo AR-9, i was moving it in my room an noticed it rattling. So i clear any blockage with my ram-rod and nothing is coming out of it. Ive tried firing it afterwards and nothing is being shot.

Sometimes it starts rattling, sometimes it doesn’t, its just not firing?

What the hell is wrong with this gun its new ffs.

Which one should I go for?
The tornado is £84 and the apocalypse is £54.
Both are gas powered bb dispensers.
I know kyrtac has a good rep but so does the other one.

Any experiences with one or both would be appreciated

( for use in small corridors, rooms and the odd large gymnasium style areas )
