Need to make a 'botched build bingo' card
"Probably an easy fix" "needs work" "parts alone worth more" "missing pieces" "heavily upgraded" "cheap parts" "recently serviced" "no returns" "HS motor w/ HS gearset" "very high RPS" "broken/stripped screw" "missing pins" "I don't know why" ... I'm sure we can come up with more lol

"No trigger guard, no bolt catch, no charging handle, no muzzle device, no handguard."Ah yes these features are too heavy, will slow down movement speed significantly.
Now it all makes sense😆

Airsoft V3 DSG UPGRADED GEARBOX W Tienly infinity 30k Motor.
Uber DSG V3 gearbox upgrade build. 18-1 shs gears with dual sector gear. Gate aster V3 ECU with USB link. Bored up cylinder. Aztec ultra composite piston, Aztec 16-port piston head, Aztec Apache air driven cylinder head, if you are not a major airsoft Maniac or are unfamiliar this air driven cylinder head removes the need for a tablet plate and nozzle by using air compression to extend the nozzle tip under spring power into the hop up. As text Data testing data shows no drop in fps or PSI but an increase of 20% RPS. In essence this is the new era of DSG builds ultra quiet less moving parts no loss of FPS or PSI, the only part needed is the trigger hinge, I lost the original one and have invested so much in this upgrade that I don't have the money to buy a $10 hinge. Other than that there are really no areas for improvement with this gearbox other than possibly a V3 speed trigger and the new Aztec anti-reversal latch but again I didn't have any more money to put into this and I couldn't wait the 5 weeks to get the latch from Australia where they are built. I was building this for an MP5 which I have the body and an upgraded Angel custom 6.03 155mm inner barrel and a suppressor for (not pictured.) Available as well.
“Excuse me, but do you understand how airsoft works? No? Well, that’s normal. Don’t worry about it--just sell it on eBay!”
35g+ piston assembly plus 30K Tienly—PME, anyone?
Aztech Apache cylinder head equals… ultra quiet? With no FPS or “PSI“ loss?? Increase of 20 RPS, excuse me?
”Upgraded” Angel Custom barrel? Typical.

20% increase….in essence a new era in……Ultra quiet…….invested sooooo much, I can’t afford a $10 hinge……
This kid must have just taken a class on persuasive language for advertising in a 10th grade English class….
Aztech innovations really in Australia? Isn’t airsoft banned there?

Aztech started as a gel-blaster outfit. That’s why so much of their stuff is cloned and modeled from Ares. They mainly do gel blaster stuff, but now it’s AEG-specific stuff too. Gel blasters are legal in AUS. Not sure how making AEG parts is looked upon, but they do it.
Most gel-blaster parts work with reg AEGs.

Angel Custom barrels are actually pretty solid, about as good as any other $50-60 stainless barrel.
I get them and lap them
For "deals", just look at HopUp, that place has really gone downhill

There are a few sources on there who I get things from that have been reliable. Although I do laugh at the sheer amount of nonsense that is on that platform. We could probably make a "HopUp Meme" thread and have endless content for it.
My friend Blind Sniper made a youtube video on the subject, which was pretty spot on.
Lots of scalpers on there, I remember some guy getting really mad when I asked him how much he wanted for his stock brand new $275 AAP01 when they were still new. Keep in mind it was supposed to be a $75 gun.
I miss the old HopUp where I bought a VSR-10 with a Wolverine BOLT shipped from Peurto Rico for $160, and where I got my Polarstar F2 for $290 with less than 20K rounds on it(you can check in the FCU).
Those days are gone though, and I think that the number of active users is super low these days with it mostly being people selling repro optics for twice what Aliexpress charges, so it will likely go away someday.
Anyways, is there a good place to unload random parts?

If it needs a lap and polish it's not a good barrel... It's a barrel than can be made good with the right tools and experience. Big difference. If someone new to teching buys an AC tight bore they are going to be disappointed and wonder why you recommended it to them over Lambda, etc.
eBay is a good place to dump random parts. Can try others / dedicated sites but you'll have much wider reach on ebay than anywhere else tbh

That statement applies to all barrels except EdGi and ESCW barrels, as in my experience and my customer's experience, even PDI, Lambda, Airsoft Philospher, Prometheus, and DaVinci see noticable benefits.
They are no better or worse than a ZCI, just .01mm tighter than a ZCI, which I care about.
If you want a 6.01 and are willing to lap your barrel, you may as well save $20 at the minumum and buy something cheap. That said, lapping a PDI, Lambda, or DaVinci will maybe be slightly better than a cheap barrel.
As for people who are too lazy to lap a barrel, Lambda, PDI, DaVinci, and EdGi are all good, but lapping is very easy and I think more peopple should do it.

Depending on what parts you have, you may be able to offload them here… without eBay fees.
Other than that, I have to say, eBay is by far your largest concentration of buyers.
@danerd I have no doubt there are reputable sellers on HopUp, just as there are on eBay, Reddit, etc, and if you find some good folks, great for you! What had me worried was that I’d read about people being able to fake number of sales, and occurrences of even people with many sales scamming folks. On other forums that I’ve bought and sold on, this hasn’t been the case, so I made the personal decision not to get tempted by listings on HopUp.

I think that if you listed a bunch of stuff on Hopup for the the minimum price, and then bought it all on a different account you'd only lose 10% of your money to get those sales/ratings.
If you don't use PayPal on there, you might be a bit of a nob jockey....
