I mean yeh that is true. Like not everything has to be replaced in an airsoft replicas. Most AEGs just need a reshim, relube, a new hop up rubber and nub and you have a pretty good replica allready without spending much. Stock parts are often good enough for a basic assault rifle.For a long period on this forum whenever someone asked should I buy this part I would ask them why are they looking at the part, what's wrong with the current one?
Way to many people just follow online builds for snipers and buy identical parts without knowing what they do better than stock or even if they are.
How many vsr's out on the fields are AA hop chamber, crazy jet barrel and an m150 (plus triggers etc) and the owner has no idea why just chucked money at the parts people told them to get, eventually share that knowledge enough and people don't know why. (Not saying it's a bad build)
So many people on here and other places asking if they should buy x part just because someone else did.
I thought he was talking about that some combos need to use a slightly shorter nozzle than standard M4, and sometimes the taper on the outside comes into play as well? I know that there are two lengths of nozzle for M4/M16's. I also know that different hopups can have slightly different distances to the bucking lips, I have had a friend that needed a different nozzle length for his CYMA SR25 after he installed a MAXX hop. I can totally see with all of the parts swapping, and the lack of dimensional consistency for "Marui" clone M4/M16's, that a shorter/longer nozzle may need to be used from time to time, same with the nozzle tapers.In more recent times, I find myself trying to get as much from as little as possible. I can tell you that Negative definitely does unnecessary work, as we all do from time to time, but things like nozzle replacements are almost always simply a waste.
He also purports using a shorter than normal spec nozzle...
Ron, the way you are going about it is certainly the best practice.For a long period on this forum whenever someone asked should I buy this part I would ask them why are they looking at the part, what's wrong with the current one?

To be honest, I haven't watched his nozzle video in recent memory--folks over on ASFUK (don't pronounce that out loud), were telling me the other day that he recommends a 21.00mm nozzle for all "regular" AEGs, rather than the 21.4mm standard.I thought he was talking about that some combos need to use a slightly shorter nozzle than standard M4, and sometimes the taper on the outside comes into play as well?

Yeh Neg claims the 21 mm nozzle works for everyrhing. While that is simply not true. Nozzles can be a bit finnicky in general. Like with my JG sig i had some feeding issues after replacing the hop up rubber. The fix was simply going from a 22.3 mm nozzle to a 22.4mm nozzle and now it feeds wonderfully.To be honest, I haven't watched his nozzle video in recent memory--folks over on ASFUK (don't pronounce that out loud), were telling me the other day that he recommends a 21.00mm nozzle for all "regular" AEGs, rather than the 21.4mm standard.
Fitment to individual setups is, of course, paramount. The Maxx adjustable nozzle is a great product in my opinion, for this reason. In my personal testing, the adjustable seems to verify that 21.4 is the correct length for most hop rubbers, but that is of course just in my personal use and experience.
A lot of "modern" hop rubbers seem to have very long/thick lips relative to legacy rubbers like the TM original, PDI, etc.
Yeh adjustable nozzles are really nice for this, albeit what I would personally do if I had one is to test which lenght works best and then order a normal nozzle of the same size.This is why adjustable nozzles seem like such a good idea to me, as I bet that there's serious enough differences from gun to gun from the same company.
Welcome to forum life... the good parts of it, at least.Ur all are crazy, man i wanted to find out what to watch. Now i know wich batteries are good for what
Took me almost 1h to read and understand all this
I have a little box of plastic nozzle in all sizes and types--If I'm having trouble finding a fit, I'll the use the Maxx, and then file a plastic one to size.Yeh adjustable nozzles are really nice for this, albeit what I would personally do if I had one is to test which lenght works best and then order a normal nozzle of the same size.
