I've found the time (money & patience) to work on my abandoned SG Barrett m82

Along with the Ares M200

Internally everything goes, inner barrel, hop up, entire gearbox with the motor.
So far I have the the following parts..
Barrel: Deep Fire 800mm 6.02
Hop up chamber: Prometheus Strike NEO
Bucking: Systema

For the gearbox I'm planning to buy the PolarStar Fusion engine with the red loading nozzle.

I'm thinking to replace the regular hop up to the R hop up.
I've ordered a barrel from HS5 and from a conversation with LeStath, he suggested to use the R hop up. He saw greater range and better accuracy.
My question is what material to use for nub, at the R-hop thread there are no solid results on the materials, so what would you suggest?

It's going to sound strange but I have some shrink tubing which looks like it would be perfect for a R hopup. Although I am not sure if the shrink nature of it would limit its life span. The guy does state though that any material would pretty much work. You just need to experiment.

 

[metallicafatcat]

Shrink tubing would be too flexible, I think.

 

[goldentrigun]

It depends on the thickness you get. Standard shrink tubing is far to thin to be able to be used, however there are many other types of tubing out there which have a thicker wall and are less flexible then just regular shrink.

There's too much trial and error here!
How is the RC fuel line?

I've just ordered the P* Fusion engine from Amped Airsoft. Now I'm hopping they get these engines soon ...

Why not just buy it from hs5's website then?

 

[bobgengeskahn]

I saw you dug up my R-Hop thread, so I figure I'll throw my 2c in here.

As far as the material goes, I'd try RC fuel line, I had the best results with that.

There are some other good conversations that went on in http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/phpBB/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=2920 about hop up designs.

 

[Wolfgeorge]

I've looked all that.
I think I'll start and testing materials....
I don't mind paying for it but I think the price is $12!!!
Don't you think it's too much for a fingernail size patch?

Wolf

 

[bobgengeskahn]

It's a lot if you look at it, but then again, the Tygon I got was about $4.75 a foot. So IF you get it right the first time you'll have enough for 10 patches. But you'll quickly get up past $12 testing different materials...

 

[Wolfgeorge]

That's correct but you'll have much trial and error to do. It's more important the correct fitment than the actual patch.

Good luck with this project; I'll be staying tuned in.

I really thought abou the Snow Wolf and the PolarStar Fusion before, so really looking forward to seeing the performance and everything.

 

[sanguinor]

I just thought I'd add that the R-hop is $12 for -three- of the rubbers.

Nice gun..Always wanted but too expensive around here Good Luck !

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Oops didn't noticed that...

Simpa311 thanks... This gun is expensive everywhere and I don't know why? I guess just for the body.

[Cheese Man]

ASGI has the engines in stock right now...

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Yes but they don't ship internationally!

 

[Wolfgeorge]

My Fusion engine should be here any day!! I really can't wait!

[wesley810]

Where did you get your Snow Wolf? They seem to be out of stock in a lot of places.

TN Airsoft Shop put one of these in their Snow Wolf M82's and got right around 580 FPS with a .25!

Here's the vid if you haven't seen it:

I bet with an R-Hop, you would get some serious range out of this rifle.

 

[woogie]

That is not a Snow Wolf..... it is a Socom Gear

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Yep ver2 Socom Gear.
I don't like the SW mostly because of the magazine shape/location but at least the SW is very light compared to the the SG.
