[QUOTE=Psychokitten;35506037]Take it slow. Real slow, like.[/QUOTE] I've been working on it all day, the problem is that, I'm thinking, I have this piston head. [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=6115[/url] I believe the bump is causing it the piston to stick too far out of the cylinder. This causes the tappet plate to bend because of the position of the gears, not allowing me to close it.
Piston doesn't touch the tappet plate at all.
[QUOTE=felix the cat;35506563]Piston doesn't touch the tappet plate at all.[/QUOTE] Piston goes in cylinder ---> Bump on Piston head causes piston to be pushed out farther ---> Gears aligning with teeth on piston causes the part on the sector gear that moves the tappet plate causes it to bend because it is not held in by the other part of the gearbox ---> doesnt close
Then you have a couple issues. 1) Your piston head is not properly attached to your piston. 2) Your AoE is not set properly
How would I properly attach that piston and what would be the proper way to set up the AoE?
do you have pictures of how you have it now?

Well first things first, your sector gear is not set right. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/phototq.jpg[/img] the post in the middle of the copper delay clip should be lined up (all in line as shown by the red line) Second, your cylinder head is misaligned, hence why your airnozzle is being pushed upward (probably also why your GB won't close. Thirdly, I need to see how the piston and piston head are attached.

You need a special cylinder head to go with that piston head. That's why your shit's fucked. Either get the reciprocating cylinder head, or option 2 would be to get a coping saw or a dremel and grind that shit flat so it works with your current cylinder head
What exactly am I grinding flat? Is my piston head correct?
Here's the cylinder head you need. [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=31_52&products_id=6120[/url] But that price, I'd just buy a G&P polycarb piston head and call it a day. [url]http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=27703[/url]
Ah, alright. Thank you for all of your help felix! I think I'll try to find that cylinder head and indeed call it a day.
kill is such a nice man.........
DealExtreme won't let me buy this scope. Here's what's in the email I got. [img]http://i39.tinypic.com/xnxnqq.png[/img] The thing is, there's no return to checkout button or payment methods. Can anyone help? [editline]10th April 2012[/editline] If I can't find a way to fix it tonight, I'm probably just going to cancel it and find some sort of scope mount and scope to buy instead of this PSO-1.
[QUOTE=junglecat;35507431]kill is such a nice man.........[/QUOTE] fpuck him
@felix You posted pictures of your LBT. Is the pantac one an ugly really dark green, or does it actually look like Olive drab?
It's a p. respectable OD [editline]10th April 2012[/editline] I would also like to take this time to note that G&P piston heads are fucking amazing. I have one in my M4, and the compression is so good that it's clocking nearly 400fps with an M90 spring.
sweeet
I was going to make a Kazakh paratrooper loadout, but then I realized their weird ACU thing was tan from far away so I wouldn't be able to be on the IFAP squad for OP Mason Relic then. And the weird thing is, from close up it looks green as fuck [url]http://i36.tinypic.com/1zf5s91.jpg[/url]
1: Wear your ACU 2: Find some sort of swamp 3: Make sure you bring some friend along, just in case 4: Splash into the swamp 5: Repeat 4 'till you smell like shit 6: Dry your ACU 7: ??? 8: Profit
Apparently I can't cancel my DealExtreme order because there's already a ticket made that's requesting them to accept my payment. I'll just wait a few more days, I guess. I'm probably going to end up getting ripped off of my 93$ somehow.

But you get your stuff after like three months, I did! :dance: But then it was too late, I ordered xmas presents and they came in January or something like that.

Especially so if you're planning on going to Mason Relic. Begin brainstorming some cool looking tan ideas.

Thankfully pretty much every loadout I want is based around green camo or solid OD.

Anyways, lets get some specific plans out there, because if I recall, you actually have a chunk of cash saved away and can afford to make something sweet.

And I'll probably be getting a new job over the summer as well so that will be more money that won't be going anywhere until I actually go to college.
you totally should have some milsim experience under your belt for MR, shit's supposed to be ~HCORE~ not East Wind ~HCORE~, but 20+ hours straight no sleep ~HCORE~
