It uses a Lonex MP5K nozzle if I remember correctly, I think maybe Brill sells it, he has the length of every nozzle in the specs. Also, AK stock is the way to go on an MP5K.

 

[Lefse]

A standard MP5K nozzle should work then, that's what I'm using in my MP5K and it's shooting quite consistently, it's just got abysmal compression efficiency.

 

[Lefse]

No need for a micrometer, calipers are plenty accurate enough for airsoft parts. I'm fairly sure my nozzle is Lonex.

 

[Lefse]

There's a big difference between calipers and a micrometer actually.

 

[Lefse]

I prefer correct terms, a micrometer is literally for measuring in micrometers (thousands of a millimeter), while calipers are for measuring in tenth of millimeters. A micrometer is kinda pointless for airsoft use, as airsoft parts aren't produced to such tight tolerances.

I'm a Norwegian, and we tend to be a bit nit picky.

 

[Lefse]

If you can't weld, you can use metal brackets combined with screw or rivets?

 

[Lefse]

AK stock it is then.

@Lefse the inner barrel appears to be around 141mm long... Aren't MP5K's supposed to be 110mm?

Took her apart a bit more... Ran a snake through the barrel, so I can actually see shiny now XP. Noticed that the E1 blue has a decent amount of carbon buildup on the armature... Not sure if that explains the rof drop or not though.

And on a very painful, headache-inducing note, I somehow stripped the head of one of the motor plate screws upon reassembly(not sure how I'm gonna fix THAT monstrosity)... Smh.

AND I missed band practice.

The PDW version has a 141mm barrel as stated by Mr. BOA. You could do what I did with my TM MP5K, cut a horizontal slit right below each of the screw holes and insert a nut so you can use regular machine screws that won't strip as easily.

 

[Lefse]

Ah, you found one, quick buy one before they go out of stock.

 

[Lefse]

You should be set for some beastly performance then.

 

[Lefse]

That's a very interesting gearbox indeed, will be fun to see the end result.

 

[Lefse]

That looks decent, did you use a power drill when polishing it? I use my trusty old 14.4V Hitachi, really makes those scratches go bye bye.

 

[Lefse]

Nonsense, power tools literally spawn randomly in basement drawers.

 

[Lefse]

...I don't have basement tho...

On a different note, due to current discussions on the forum [and previous discussions elsewhere], I'm considering getting a gaussemeter [in addition to another chrono].

Maybe consider taking a trip to a hardware shop too.

@Lefse d'you think I'll need it under 20g? I'm not letting her get over 40rps..

I honestly have little experience with DSG builds, but I would definitely not go above 20 grams, there's little margin for error with DSG builds. I usually go for 15 grams or so for DSG builds, but I suspect that's actually a tad too light and is hurting compression efficiency.

I'm gonna try and gradually increase piston weight in my DSG AUG, when I can get my butt in gear to doing it. Extremely busy at work lately, so I don't have too much energy after work for such lately...

(Lefse is working on just gluing the piston head to the rack)

I'm doing what now?

 

[Lefse]

Depends on how long the nozzle is i guess, most likely won't cause any issues.

#whatsinyourmAh?

*Gives his little 1600mAh li-po's a cuddle*

 

[Lefse]

If it's a 3034 mosfet or similar it should handle higher current and voltage than the motor, cooling might become an issue at a certain point though.

 

[Lefse]

I think "rectangular pattern" is what you wanted to use for that?
