Re: TM Recoil guns

Anyone know if disabling the recoil feature on the SCAR will improve ROF?

Re: TM Recoil guns

Whats the point of buying a recoil model if you're going to disable the recoil?? Wouldn't you have been better sticking with your gorgeous VFC??

Re: TM Recoil guns

Better trade marks? Better trigger group? Better externals all round. Blowback's kinda meh for me...

Re: TM Recoil guns

But you put the correct trade marks on your VFC anyway didn't you? I guess you kind of make sense though..

Hornbill gears, leave the shims in exactly the same places as the gears before, change the spring to an M100, and put in a systema rubber and H nub. Cost about 50 in total, and couldnt be more please with it!

Wow, did you do the fitting yourself?

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Yup! Didn't even worry about shimming or anything like that.

Took the gears out with the shims on still, swapped the gears over, and put the shims back in exactly the same place, and it worked even better than before. Don't know why shimming is such a big thing!

It's a lot better than just blowback dude... Lipo is probably a better way tonnage your ROF...

Ill have to try that this weekend as it sounds like you're very happy with your setup. You're not tempted to change the hop unit and add a tightbore as well?

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Don't touch the hop unit for the love of god. I unfortunately snapped mine in two removing it from the barrel. They are crazy tight for awesome airseal.

Gearbox wise, look up eagle 6s videos, but it's really easy, and an added bonus is that you'll have a quick change spring set up afterwards.

All I did was open it up, make a very close note of what shims were where. Wipe out old grease, put in new grease, move the shims onto the new gears, and put it all back together. Instant success. An M100 spring will get your gun pumping out 345 ish, but will settle down to 330 after a day of gaming.

I added a tight bore to mine, but found that you will get so much more benefit on how you hold the rifle. If you hold it like so many regular players do, just resting by your shoulder, then your shots will stray. Grab it tight, pull it in, and you'll get a much much much better grouping. I'd try that area first personally

Might have missed something - is that for the M4 or SCAR?

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Just the M4. Once you've seperated the spring and piston, remove the buffer tube to change the spring

Does anyone here use a Peq box with a battery in in their recoil guns? What's the performance Luke in such small batteries?

Re: TM Recoil guns

Planning to move my 7.4 lipo from my ready mag to a PEQ 2 as the ready mag option is too useful in CQB to use it as a battery holder IMHO. But I presume that you are thinking of a PEQ 15/16 holder...?

Re: TM Recoil guns

I use a G&P 7.4v 1800 PEQ15 lipo from ehobby on my socom , and it works fine . Rate did drop a bit when I stuck an Eagle six spring in it (getting around 12rps out of it) but I only run the standard mags in it so I don't realy want to empty my mag in three bursts ! so I'm more than happy with it .
