Thank you for your advice, Kozzie. If I start pushing you to the brink of a nervous breakdown with my noob questions and walls of text, let me know hahaha
n the meantime... I want to upgrade my AEG to game standard, as I will be taking it to indoor matches in about a month with some friends! Would I be able to personally perform the above-mentioned upgrades on my own? If so, what particular parts do I need, where can I get them, and how much will it cost? If you can give me a list of parts you upgraded to, I can trace them down. I'll also use this as a learning experience, too, so I can (very slowly and carefully!) get an idea about the internals of the rifle.
PS.: An airsoft crazy friend gave me the gift of choice between a PBS-1 and PBS-4 suppressor (almost all his AEG's are AK's and he has tons of compatible eyecandy lying around). Which one should I grab?
I tried out the PBS-4 suppressor on, but I suppose that because:
1) I don't have an internal barrel extension, or
2) I haven't yet fine-tuned my hop-up, or
3) I have a stuck flash hider/suppressor pin, or
4) The suppressor is designed like crap;
My accuracy went down the loo, with BB's flying 10cm off their mark at maybe 10 feet of range, and one BB apparently shattering inside the suppressor (I unscrewed it after to find flaky white bits, and a chip in the internal paint of the suppressor). I also somehow believe my BB's were off due to the slanted end of the suppressor, and the inside chamber, affecting the airflow...
I have attached a photo of the suppressor, and an internal diagram explaining in greater detail what (I think) happens that makes my shots go bonkers. The PBS-1 is a regular suppressor with no funny end bits, would it be a better choice? Otherwise, I could bum an inner barrel off my buddy, cut it to size, debur it, then stick it/glue it through the suppressor itself, therefore getting a functional barrel-extension AND the sexy look of the PBS-1/PBS-4. To do, or not to do?
Again, sorry for the wall of text... if you can help me I'd really appreciate it. I'd just use the suppressor for display, but I love the added front-end weight, it gives a much more solid feel when lugging the AEG around
Cheers, good night, and all the best!
