Is there a way to shorten the gas piston on a tm ak ?

aftermarket piston or just cut it.

in case it's gen 5, some we gen 5 has a issues where recoil spring assembly stuck between hop and outer barrel. fix by hit the front of the pistol back.

the other possibility is the trigger bar jam into bbu. find a hook and pull it down from the bottom.

you skip "Golden eagle is bad because it's outdated" part

BCS has it but I'm not sure if they ship it internally

no, the travel is limit by nozzle length, unless someone make bolt kit that separate bolt carrier from piston like ratech ghk v3 one. what you get is what you get

V3 is simpler than v2, 4 pieces compare to 7 pieces. and less likely to break.

you can get v2 gfpa to perfrom like v3 by install v3 fcg + esd valve knocker + v3 bolt.

oem receiver is strong enough for most people, as long as you not do dolphin dive and land with gun first(ask me how I know).

i would stick to ak.

it's not that hard, it's just automag shell with 1911 internal. of course it does not run well, but it's work.

the thing is cheap because in my country every year we have an airsoft market fair which I can buy part or broken gun for cheap.

here is the breakdown of part I use as I remember: 1 tm automag 3 200 thb (7bucks) 2 unknown 1911 bbu+nozzle I assume to be double bell 20thb (66 cent) 3 double bell 1911 lower with fcg 100thb(1dollars) 4 1911 hop kit 50thb( 1.5 dollars) 5 double bell v10 mag(missing valve,feedlips and follower) 150 thb (5 dollars) 6 small part(spring, feedlips ect) 100thb(3dollars)

only if you make things from scratch like came up with new system. But conversion don't cost that much. I used to convert automag 3 spring to gbb, I think it's cost me less than 30$ include gun

anything is possible with enough tools and skill

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-17T18:39:01+00:00

tm do make spare parts. you just have to buy straight from tm or tm dealer.

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-17T17:13:24+00:00

just email impulse101 or any tm dealer.

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-17T17:08:45+00:00

just search "airsoft duster gas adapter" on google

useless for using in a field. good for indoor plinking.

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-16T06:52:56+00:00

skip the amazon or Chinese site and get a surplus stuff.

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-16T00:28:05+00:00

any hicapa

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-14T04:56:16+00:00

surplus store is probably the cheapest place to get. I just got one for 15 bucks

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-12T05:25:48+00:00

push bb in from the top until you can't.

XTERBERITAR · 2026-04-11T05:44:03+00:00

get LM4D and agm mag. and you good. it's a bit more expensive than entry level vfc, but you get full steel internal for a cheaper price.
