So as some of you guys know I got a stock L96 and upgraded it doing the following.
All the DIY upgrades as per http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/Stock-MK96-Dummies-t172200.html except for the Barrel and hop part.
I also put in a Fijo Customs trigger (for those that want triggers go here http://www.fijocustom.com) it's an awesome trigger!
I replaced the stock Barrel and hop with the PDI HopUP unit as well as a 509mm Prometheus AEG barrel.
I added the PDI nub with a Prometheus soft bucking.
Now my issue is that I loaded some Madbull .40's and shot.
too little hop, adjusted the screws out some more.
Shot
too little hop.
Then when I adjusted the screws even more found that it now stops the nozzle ... so i removed the 2 screws completely thinking now I will have too much hop as I am assuming the less of the allen screws I see coming out the more hop. (Screws presses hopup arms up and makes the nub protrude less into the barrel.) So turn screws in less hp, turn screws out more hop.
Like so.
However even without those screws I don't have enough hop at all. BB's start curving down within 15-18 meters.
Like I said I'm using .40's and shooting +- 500fps.
I could build up the Hop arms with epoxy maybe.
Harder bucking? Prometheus Red or MadBull Red? Would that even make a difference?
Any advice?
