AEG's / About hop-up rubbers...
« on: October 05, 2008, 09:00:04 PM »
Hey guys, What can you guys tell me about hop-up rubbers? I'm curious as to what the difference is between hard and soft rubbers...or shall we say "Why would you use one over the other?"  And also what's the story with those that state they are 60 degree rubbers? Thanks for your help!  8)

AEG's / Would like your input???
« on: September 28, 2008, 02:41:33 PM »
Hey guys, I already have more than I need and have told myself not to buy anymore, ... But suppose I was thinking about adding maybe something fresh to the armory... I have mostly CA ( AR15A4, M14, M14Scout, SA58, M249 ) and 1 Echo1 ( M14RIS ). I don't really know much about any other makes... Are KingArms any decent? And what about parts availability? I hear TokyoMarui mentioned often but never see to much in the way of parts for them or am I just not finding the correct avenues to them?  I don't mind the CA's that I have and I'm not too sure about the Echo, it seems to skip a round or two every couple of seconds, I'm not sure if they all do that or just mine in particular, I don't like that though! I just wanted to hear what your thoughts were on other manufacturers?  Thanks!

AEG's / About my CA SA58???
« on: September 26, 2008, 09:13:25 PM »
Hey guys, It's been awhile since I've been on.... I've got a CA SA58 that I bought some time ago, have only shot maybe a mag thru it and it's been sitting since.... I wouldn't mind perking it up a little.... Are you guys aware of any parts available for them? I'm not sure what type of gearbox it is and really haven't seen much on this particular platform... If you have hopped yours up and care to share info, I'm listening! Thanks! 8)   PS-  Seen any midcaps???

Airsoft Items FOR SALE / What's in your garage....For trade?
« on: March 09, 2008, 08:28:34 PM »
Hey All, I am starting to look for another motorcycle project and before putting out the cash I thought I would check here first and maybe you can help me and vice-versa... I am looking for a project bike and prefer older sport bikes 70's - 80's 'ish. I have too many models that I like, to list, so why don't you tell me what you have and in return, I have to offer 1) CA 249 MkII  I bought new at APD for $580.00 with a MAG 2500rnd magazine that was $125.00, has a Madbull 120 spring, otherwise stock. I've filled the mag 3 times and the setup has never seen a game, I've shot it several times at the house and showed some people the gun...basically brand new! 2) Echo1 M14RIS I bought new at The Gearbox for $220.00 and it comes with 2 HiCaps and 4 G@P 160rnd MidCaps that I paid $85.00 for and also a King Arms scope mount that I think I paid $30.00 for...Also like new, this setup as well has never seen a game. I used it around the house some and once at our team practice. I have remounted the batteries so that there is better weight transfer, Batteries are 3600Mah and were $55.00 and are included, other than that it's stock... $1100.00 worth of stuff...If you have something that fits the bill lets talk....Local Phoenix Valley area only...And MUST have CLEAR title!

AEG's / Question on Echo1 magazines...

AEG's / Question on piston sleeves?...
« on: November 28, 2007, 09:08:48 PM »
Hey Guys! I'm trying to understand the piston sleeve a little better...I saw a part listing for an oversize sleeve that stated it would increase the fps of any aeg...It doesn't say how it is oversize? Is it longer or is it bigger in diameter? And also, why do I see holes in some of them? I'm assuming that if you go bigger on the sleeve you gotta go bigger on the piston? Thanks for your input!

Troubleshooting / Question on a SCAR's spring...
« on: November 12, 2007, 04:18:25 PM »
Hey Guy's,
 My buddy just called and told me about an issue with his CA SCAR. He was changing the spring for a 110 and now the gun spits 3 bb's out at a time, in other words, for every cycle the gun makes in semiauto mode it shoots 3 bb's at a time. Any idea on where to begin looking for the problem?  I told him I would post this question and for him to stop by tommorrow with the gun and we'll check it out. Also the bevel gear that has the anti-reverse spring on it...well, that took off somewhere, and he made areplacement, do you think that would have anything to do with it? I've done several spring replacements myself but have not encountered this problem, any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Steve

Troubleshooting / Question on my fps???
« on: November 06, 2007, 08:09:03 PM »
Hey Guys,
 I put in a CA 6.04 Tightbore and 120 spring in my CA AR15A4 rifle, found out it was above 400fps( like 410-415 ) and so I went and replaced the 120 with an 110 and kept the tightbore, so I'm rechecking the chrono and I can't get that thing above 299.8fps! I didn't think a 110 would make that much of a difference!!! Am I missing something here? I'm kinda wondering if there is a leak somewhere? I don't hear any odd noises and all... I did not lube the nozzle when I put the tightbore on, should I have? Any help would be appreciated, I was going to use it this weekend at Sasco but I can take my Scout M14 instead... Thanks for your input!  Salvo

AEG's / Battery Guru's...
« on: October 23, 2007, 09:05:08 PM »
Hey All, Anybody know how long you should let 9.6v 1500Mah batteries charge? The charger that came with the rifle(an Echo M14 RIS) doesn't have any indicators...I'll get a better charger soon, but until then, any ideas? Thanks!

AEG's / Question about my CA Socom M14...
« on: October 17, 2007, 07:03:51 PM »
Hey Guys,
 I just got done installing a JB Unicorn 6.03 Tightbore and the install went good...I noticed afterwards that when I chrono'd it the fps have dropped from 324-327 to 314-317ish...Any thoughts? I thought a tightbore would have increased the fps some???? Everything went fine and is installed correctly, the hop works fine... I'm scratching my head! Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks! Steve    I would add that it's length is now at 510mm instead of what the stock length was, I'm not sure of that length at the moment...it was shorter than the new barrel!

« on: October 15, 2007, 08:09:23 PM »
Hey All,
 Does anyone possibly have a pic or link of the page in the instruction brochure that has the "blow apart" of the rifle and parts list? I can't seem to find mine....I would appreciate any help in this matter, Thanks a bunch! If you need my email,  salvo66us@yahoo.com     Steve

General Airsoft Discussion / Thanks Gearbox!
« on: October 14, 2007, 04:11:56 PM »
I just wanted to say a big "Thank You" to the guys at The Gearbox for being so helpful and enthusiastic! When my friend and I went into Gearbox to see about getting my friend set up for airsofting we already had a strike against us in that my friend was teetering on the edge of whether or not to get involved in airsoft...Well, thanks to the help we recieved at The Gearbox, my friend made the plunge and is anxiously awaiting the arrival of a CA rifle to purchase.... And I might add that I walked out with a new ECHO 1 M14 RIS! I had no plans on purchasing anything but that rifle caught my eye and I can't wait to try it out! Thank You guys! I as well as my friend look forward to shopping at your store and also, Thanks for the free stuff too! Steve

AEG's / What about Frankenstein in Ai magazine?
« on: September 03, 2007, 07:39:01 PM »
Any of you following the Frankenstein build?  What do you think about it?
  I'm curious about where they are getting their rpm from? The motor? The piston? And the ROF, that's not the same as rpm, correct? I also am curious about the MOSFET and whether any of you use that? I like the idea of what they are doing and maybe we'll have to tinker with one, I'm curious what you guys think about it?

AEG's / Question on M15 series from CA
« on: September 03, 2007, 06:32:45 PM »
I noticed that there is a screw on the bottom of my pistol grip, does it serve any specific purpose?  Not the 2 screws that hold the cap on... When doing some upgrades I noticed it, and it just seems to be "there".... Thanks!
