    New Spring - Still bad FPS?

    Well, got a classic army G36K here a few days ago.

    Chronoed at around 250fps using the stock spring.

    Upgraded by putting an Element M105 spring in (345fps). Now chronoes at 245fps...

    Any ideas?

      Must be, but can't seem to think where exactly....

        Yawn. Got a non CA V3 gearbox to hand? Check the respective lengths of the space where the spring sits. In V2 boxes the spring space is significantly longer.

          I'd have expected more with a M105 though. My V2 CAs have run around the 320 fps mark with M100s

            The only other V.2 I have is in my M4A1, and she works fine... I can't imagine the difference in length should change much, not when it's less than an inch.

            Could it be any of these problems:

            Lube on gears is sticky rather than fluid
            Air Seal Nozzle not attached fully - pressed down into tappet plate enough
            Not enough lube overall
            Poor piston

            The spring is a real bitch to get in, holding a lot of tension, much more than the original one that was in there. Hate having to open the Gearbox(es) up when they are stiff springs. But will do so if necessary!

              Sounds to me like youve got a rubbish air seal! try to get a new piston o-ring and then get the nozzle attached properly.
