new product, available at RW....CNC 6061 instead of cast pot-metal...

Seems to also include a piston as well, should make for faster blowback and possible better gas consumption, and improve seal to loading nozzle which can add fps....

will make the gun lighter though....

I'm so on that soon as i can get a good source on it...

Mine got here just now.....custom decided to hassle this for whatever reason....

Reading this thread here: http://airsoft-barracks.com/forums/i...p?topic=3041.0

I was anticipating some issues with my setup because apparently the piston unit that comes with the BBU is of smaller size compare to the SD piston that I was using with SD nozzle, so some were reporting problem with sealing to the SD nozzle. I decided to do 2 wraps of teflon tape around the o-ring groove then sit the given o-ring on top for a better seal, which it did work. The gun now I find cycles faster for sure, and does kick less, double tap becomes more controlled between shot. The gun in hand does not feel that much lighter, which I think is good. I don't have a chrono so I can't say anything about power gain or losses....

Not a necessary mod for everyone, for someone who does some IPSC style shooting it'll be a good mod to have. I decided to get it because my BBU's back thread was stripped a while back but with enough loctite and it held, but I've been wanting to replace with some non-stock solution and this fits the bill...

So is it worth it to get? I mean, do you find it an improvement or do you like the way the original one feels?

[RacingManiac]

I like it this way to shoot, it jerks less, and makes for quicker double tap...I need to do some test to see if it makes a difference to accuracy of the user...at least so far I think it's worth it....

now if you are making an IPSC race gun, this will be a must get unless you are machining the stock BBU down....I can imagine you can have crazy cycle speed if you have plastic slide...

by the time I have money for this, it'll be sold out.

Fuck I hate CLsurgeons limited run items.... damn bastard.

Would be nice to see one of these units for the P226. The pot metal one TM uses is total, utter crap.
