Precocking proof of concept

Near instant trigger response with 18:1 gears and a 7.4v lipo.

 I know I'm probably not the first to do this, but this is how I did it.

SHS M4 receiver review

Yeah, SHS makes M4 receivers. I didn't know until recently either.

This receiver is available from ak2m4.co.uk for £40. It comes packaged in a simple cardboard box with a sheet of dense foam on either side. Nothing fancy, but definitely enough to protect the thing.

VSR wrench

For those of you who have access to 3D printers, here's a design for a VSR wrench. Needs two M3 screws. Could probably laser cut it too, I guess.   

Would recommend painting with ABS slurry (if printing in ABS) or the layers may de-laminate when used on tightly fitting cylinder heads.

G36KV stock cheek riser

Looks good, but it has actually been very uncomfortable to shoot ever since I put the scope on it because the stock cheek rest isn't high enough. Here's my solution:

HFC VSR stock performance review

ZCI/SHS piston comparison

Here's why I don't recommend ZCI nylon pistons. ZCI nylon on the left, SHS blue on the right.

there's a little congealed lubricant stuck to the ZCI

It's not all bad news for ZCI though.

G36 large handguard

After being incredibly disappointed with my G36KV stock's claims of "massive amounts of battery space", I decided to make something that actually has massive amounts of battery space.

ZCI M4 complete gearbox review

Here's a review of the ZCI v2 complete M4 gearbox. I got it from http://www.ak2m4.co.uk, it is currently available for £55.

The gearbox comes packaged in a nice, form-fitting blue foam box. Very nice quality packaging. It's a v2 gearbox with a few special features- QD spring guide, microswitch trigger, special selector plate. I'll explain more later in the review.
