I don't have a set of punches and take out roller pins anyways. I use a 7/64" hex driver and a pair of large pliers (as an hammer). Works perfectly. Depeinding on the size of the pin, a different drive might be needed. |

Tried a similar approach like that as well and I don't think I have sufficient force for it. :/

UPDATE: Got my good bipod mounted now, used a punch and hammer set to get it to rotate enough to slide the adapter into the rail. Looks much nicer now and it's lower profile and lighter. Got my order for a M16 sniper grip on the way as well as a bag of .30 bbs, should be here tomorrow. The only grip Huang had in stock was OD green so I'm likely going to paint it black lol i hate mismatching colours. Assuming the motor fits inside the new grip lol. Next external upgrade will be either a new stock or a new outer barrel. Will post pictures soon!

You can try these from Huang. They are black so you don't have to paint it. With grips, the paint will wear off faster.

The order was already placed, and shipped lol. Its the style I want, so I bought the one that was in stock.

UPDATE: New grip installed, it's quite comfortable. Really liking it. The dull green isn't terribly noticeable either, so I think I can get away without painting it. Next on my list is magazines... i'm debating whether to go cheap and get CA SR25 magazines, or go with PMAGS.... I kind of like the PMAG design more, but they're almost double the price. Suggestions?

Pmags do look nicer but with a down side. I bought a case of Pmags for my M4 a few years ago and as of today they all stop working. Because they are glued permanently together, you can not open them up for servicing. If you drop one on the ground and dirt or water gets inside, they are toast. If they jam, they are....
All my other metal magazines can be disassembled for service, the reason they are still in use. Something to think about. Last edited by SuperHog; August 29th, 2013 at 10:51.. |

PTS Pmags run flawlessly in the GR25. Keep the caps that they come with so you keep crap out of the mags when they're not in use as like Hog said, you can't service them very easily.

For the price it'd be easier to get more of the standard CA midcaps and service them instead of being anal about protecting the PMAGs.... I like the look of the PMAG but since they are glued together (why didn't they do that differently so it could be taken apart? stupid IMO) if they fail i'm out $25+ for each magazine.... In that case, I'll go with CA magazines. I'll have to modify them slightly to fit, but it's better to muck around with a $15 mag and be able to open it up later than scrap a $25 mag just for the sake of the looks. Thanks for the input.
Another question: what do you all run for stocks? I don't really like the current stock and was curious as to what types everyone else runs. Needs to be able to fit a large brick battery inside... I was really hoping to get the PRS stock but it's only usable if you mod it for Lipo and i don't want to spend more on a Lipo just for the sake of the stock ya know? |

Pmags CAN be taken apart and cleaned. I just tried with one of mine. Base plate comes off, exposing a hex screw on a plate. Removal of the hex screw allows the guts of the magazine to be slid out, which are held together with screws.
If you want a large type battery, you're gonna need to keep your full stock.

Hmm... in that case I'd rather the PMAGs.... as for the battery, I CAN replace it, but since I just bought it and paid the $50 bucks + $40 for another charger, I didn't want to buy ANOTHER battery so soon. I already have a lipo charger and battery for my G&G F2000, and really WOULD like to get the PRS stock. It's too bad I don't have access to my parent's machine shop any more or I'd mill out a space for the battery instead of getting the buffer tube battery... how long would one of those last anyway?
EDIT: Selected a Hotpower 11.1V, 15C Lipo For Buffer Tube lipo battery, plus the PRS stock and just to get something for my lovely F2000 (yes I'm quite fond of that gun lol) a new flash hider because I don't like the current one anymore lol. $130.45 total. Not bad... not bad... probably have to wait for a while though before I buy, have some other things that need my attention before I pick up any other airsoft gear. :banghead: Last edited by Reaver_RRTS; August 29th, 2013 at 15:34.. |

as far as I know the legit pts pmags are all like this. my g36 pmags come apart the same way. the screw under the baseplate comes off, the whole core of the mag slides out of the top of the pmag shell and reveals access to remove the spring from the core before unscrewing the halves to get inside it. I'm with stealth, but only because I hate buffer lipos.. I find them severely underpowered for output amps and capacity.

^ and THAT is why I post before buying ^^' The PRS stock is appealing to me in terms of design, plus the adjustable buttpad and cheek rest is nice. Yes, I want it for long range combat, but I suppose if the batter is too weak I won't get sufficient force huh?... Okay, well is there any stocks that I could use that is similar in design/function to the PRS stock?

it's not about force... the battery you chose is perfectly capable of pulling your setup, BUT not very efficiently. It's been proven elsewhere that while airsoft guns may only draw 20-30 amps continuous in full auto, they can and will draw ridiculous amps on startup when you first pull the trigger. You want enough amps supplied from the battery to cover this. On higher end builds the amp spike from the battery was measured closer to 100 amps... that's nutty.
On a stock gun with regular motor, regular gears and probably only a 110 spring, you won't see 100 amp draws.. but you'll definitely see spikes higher than your constant discharge rating of the battery. The motor has to overcome the standing resistance of the gears, spring, piston etc and not to mention itself from a dead standstill. In full auto the gears are already moving, things in motion want to stay in motion. Also with such high drain possible from the motor and such low capacity from a buffer tube lipo, it's quite possible to overdraw and damage the battery because the motor will pull as much as it can, possibly beyond what the battery can provide.
