Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

1- stiff bolt, from lack of care and lube, simple fix, clean it and lube,
2 set the hop up.
3 cant be standard as other material wont allow the rifle to fit together

Thanks so tlc and a good weekend playing really

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

thinking of getting a l96 maurzen but it has a couple of issues

1st stiff bolt handle up/down

2nd Hop needs setting up

3rd Standard trigger with metal plates added

apart from that seems a very good spec currently approx 500fps

anyone got any ideas on the above probs easy fix or big problems

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

to be honest mate, it will be easier re tapping the pdi unit for 3mm screws

and for the twin arms, put ptfe tape arounf each gurb screw so it is alot smoother and precise when adjusting

You need to re-tap the hole mate if the screw sheered off inside the thread

Other wise if your able to get the thread out it is a 2.5 mm screw

Hi just an update long overdue.

I had a PDI hop up unit (actually i suppose I still do). Managed to get the screw out with help from a friend by scoring the sheared part and unscrewing it naturally, lucky I know.

Turns out the PDI hop up unit has a 2.38 or 2.3mm screw, definately not a 2.5mm like the original sadly (checked with digital calipers) sorry I didn't mention it as previous. But I've given up hope trying to find the correct screw, it's pretty much impossible to find one, friend who works in an aviation workshop couldn't find one.

I'm ordering an Hexagon hop up unit because I decided that the PDI levers were proving too much of a fiddle for me given that the grub screws were grinding into my nice shiny PDI barrel. I'll try to update you guys when I do get the HP enhanced hop up unit, but from reviews and word of mouth- I've heard it's a step up from the standard but keeps simplicity. Somewhere of a middle ground between the two I hope.

With some luck the screw that holds the magazine in place will be somewhat more standardised in spec so if I am stupid enough to release the bolt catch when cocked, then I can find a replacement screw.

Think I'm paying about £30 including postage to get it from HK. (Using a madbull V2 barrel and prommy hard bucking)

If this doesn't work then i'm going to have to try and source a standard barrel and hop up unit (if anyone has one or a Well one knocking around let me know)

Don't got for the 170 mate

As my 140 spring produced 498fps with tb barrel and pdi unit

So be aware the 170 spring would give near 530 fps stock
so add about 15-20 with the ugraded airflow items

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

just as a heads up guys pss2 parts will fit but only some of them like the pistons springs atleast thats what i've been told so i'm going to bite the bb and put my zero1 order in and see

[billybob9351]

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

going to go for the 170 spring instead with the trigger sear and spring guide from zeroone possibly a new teflon cylinder??? can anyone tell me where i can get a piston from that actually has it in stock a link to one in stock would be great

[guard-sniper87]

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

right thinking of going from total stock to the following does anyone know if theres anything i've missed that i'll need
laylax barrel spacers
laylax teflon cylinder
laylax thick 150 spring
laylax pro silent damper kit

i think possibly i may need a steel piston sear???

yeah as all extra air seal pressure

you will need the spring guide,
spring guide stopper,
sears, be on safe side mate other wise bolt may implode when sear fail :p

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

^^ yes you will need a spring guide and new piston.

Standard cylinder normally Alloy, mines listed as a stainless power cylinder?!?!

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

Do you mean a teflon cylinder? I'm sure my stock one was stainless anyway! Teflon cylinder will make it easier to cycle the bolt and give slight fps increase due to tighter seal and smoother movement of piston. One of the last upgrades to get really.

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

Stainless cylinder mate just means a more smoother cocking but only slighty less friction compare. To the stock cylinder

Re: Upgrade guide Based on Maruzen type 96

Benifits of a stainless cylinder if any??
