A switch debouncer circuit was used to solve the MOSFET Hiccup.
Started machining new nozzles out of Delrin to get a closer seal.
1 of the CQB barrel had a thicker paint job that interfered with the barrel clamping mechanism which caused lose seating and an FPS loss of 80.
Mind sharing what else works and what doesn't work with the PTS ACR mechbox?

Switch info if anyone cares search up google: VMS15-01N pdf

the piston head on this ACR was on nice and tight. when i swapped out the metal tooth with another one from another manufacturer, it no longer scrapped the cylinder. after putting in new gears, the piston wedging issue was mostly solved. Magpul should have never contracted Ares to make the gearbox. what Ares did with this gearbox is retarded, they should have designed it to be compatible with after market parts. a proprietary gearbox shell is fine as long as it lasts, but having all these internal parts that cant be replaced with off the shelf replacements, it's just stupid.
