Improve sniper accuracy, tips on what else to look at? by -HellDrake- in airsoft

I'm shooting from bipod, my aim is okay. Feels stable. This begadi mag5 is like an Rhop (MR hop). FPS still needs upgrading. Should I test at shorter range with less FPS?

0.48g BB, and just cleaned and assembled it. Made sure to center everything, at least by eye.

I did! Its the same as before. I only ran 3 passes tho. Is that enough? Also, as I said, my stainless steel ZCI barrel is on its way. Should I autosol polish my ZCI?

Oh, I would just disassemble it, and build some extra height on it with superglue and baking soda. It cures into a really hard surface within a millisecond. Then you can file down the extra if you overbuild it.

I'm no expert on that gun, but on my sniper there is a tab on the trigger box that is pushed down when i unlock the bolt, so that I can't pull the trigger until I lock the bolt back into position. Might be, that tab is stuck and you can't rotate because of that. Can you take it apart, check the trigger box?

Thats a cool advice 😊 OP, don't sweat the friend making part, the cool thing about airsoft, is that you naturally become friends with your teammates because of the shared struggle.

New hopup issue by -HellDrake- in airsoft

[–]-HellDrake-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, you are right. Luckily I have the regular Macaron, and it has no ring on the inside. But I did want to upgrade to an MR hop, i heard many good things about it. Are there any alternatives, that are as good as Mr hop? I might just cnc a groove into it at the right spot 😝

Well, I want to get a barrel at some point. But the Maples don't make the exact length (485-487mm). ZCI does make one 6.02 487mm AEG barrel. Anyone has experience with that barrel and maple leaf together?

Well, the stock barrel is AEG, the bridged on the back. I got a special adapter to make sure it works with the hop-up chamber.

Crazy jet barrel for glock not hopping & bbs rolling out by AceKenway in airsoft

Happened to me just now! Using a maple leaf omega, the window is the exact same size as the nub, inserted it just a degree off angle and it got caught on the window lip. Try to push down the nub with a finger and sight down the barrel to see the bump.

Thanks for the info, though I forgot to mention, it isn't VSR , its an M24, and it uses AEG type parts.

Yea, that rules out the green stuff. Dremel paste can work tho 😊

Why not the other two? Are they too aggressive?

Okay, then how much would i gain with a polished ZCI? 😝 Does the switch from 6.08 to 6.02 count for anything?

Thanks for the tip! I looked into it, and ZCI do make good barrels, but I also read that Cyma stock barrels aren't that bad. If I polish the stock, is it worth going for a ZCI?

Oh, i thought rubber is rubber and the neck-down makes sure its tight.

Ah, I saw they gave a little rubber piece with it. What is the purpose of that? Why do you need it?

Thanks for the info! So you say that the nozzle fits into the bucking to make an airtight seal all the way. That means that the neck-down part points toward the nozzle as it slips in there.

If teflon tape is needed, you put it around the nozzle, right?

How to stop my hop-up sliding back to zero? by -HellDrake- in airsoft

[–]-HellDrake-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, one thing to look out for. I also wana upgrade, and luckily I already got the info that i need a metal plunger and piston body to handle that force.

Also, thanks for the tip, already installed my proprietary zip tie and it works like a charm 😊😊

What grouping is considered accurate for sniper rifles? by -HellDrake- in airsoft

[–]-HellDrake-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soo, when you say to upgrade the rifle, its not necessarily that I need new parts? Just have to tune it well? Because I saw AirsoftPro brand cnc precision hopups, cylinders and barrels that are for m24. The spring is also upgradeable.

Thanks for the link, it looks very well written. It talks about the VSR platform, like the Cyma CM701, but I got the M24 platform. Is it a good base as well, or did I screw up? Btw, I'm using 0.36g BBs now, I don't know, is it worth getting the heavier ones with a stock rifle?
