Current project on your bench

@shadow187 Heads up if you buy one… that particular X300 clone was very loose on pistol and picatinny rails. Like, really loose. :roll_eyes:

I had to make up a plastic 90° spacer and epoxy glue it to the vee in the base to make it a secure fit. :person_shrugging: But it is a copy of the quick release Surefire so easy to pop on and off. Which means holstering the pistol’s still relatively easy. :+1:

for your consideration as well…

This is the 1200 Lumen " Wesker Retina Searer!"

It is a 1200 lumen torch, green dot, or both.
Green dot can be seen during the day.

Inbuilt, rechargeable battery.
Snug fit, on my pic rails.

Worth a look…

Keep in mind, if you’re planning on using any gear with a light source, most indoor fields have lumen limits in place.

Same for laser sights… a big no-no at all venues. They usually insist on batteries out with laser attachments.

It’s highly likely that vision impairing aircraft landing light attachment would be disallowed at most indoor venues. :rofl:

The X300 would be within limits and therefore allowed. :+1:

Yeah no dramas, thanks for the information

It’s been a day for electric pistols, that’s for sure :rofl:

This might very well be one of a very few fully functioning SKD Beretta M90TWOs around these days. Satisfying to dust off the cobwebs and see it choochin’ again on 14.8v :+1:

New MOSFET with a spare put away, on the hunt for new gears to have as a backup set… or two. Pretty shiteful performance at 140ishFPS but not bad for five years old… go too heavy on that spring and the gears will strip. :wink:

I used to simply “stretch” the old standard springs a little to add a bit more punch without going overboard.

Not really technical, but works and saved trying to find/purchase/wait on something else to be found in the short term. :grin:

You say that and then I ordered the x400 :grimacing:

Whoops :joy:

Okay…

An oldie, that may require a bit of attention.
Phantom Extremis mkVI

I gave it a quick run tonight…fps seems a little low.
180-220 fps…with a few 250’s.

I seem to remember this being a solid 250 fps unit when new.
It’s a loud little unit.

These have the silveredge gearboxes…they any good.?
I seem to recall some people talking smack about them…not getting rave reviews…

Standard V2 parts, or a bit more specialised.?

Any people had any experience with them.?
Any teardown guides.?

Cheers…

mmm you’re in my wheelhouse now. APS the one you love to hate :joy:

That is low. Might be just a piston O ring. Hopefully it’s not cracked.

All standard V2 parts. What spring is it running?

The original APS V2 silveredge ran a too stiff equal spring that was too harsh on the gearbox and along with the casting problems led to a lot cracking the front of the gearbox off. But those were 300+ out the box.

I’d swap down to a 1.18 Ausgel unequal and still get 300+ and gentler on the gearbox. Plus don’t dry fire it.

Pop that puppy open and have a looksy.

I’m still running a several year old APS V2 silver edge today fyi.

Not sure how they’ve set the later Phantom Extremis up as I’ve never laid hands on that exact model, but afaik it has the better Silver edge box in it.

They are an as box that was poorly converted for gel.

Another good upgrade was fit the wells V2 head(I know shock horror) in as it gives 2mm extra travel to accommodate the bigger gel ball and the extra volume. Just had to bust the dremel out and elongate the location pins to get it in while you radiused the cylinder corners.

Okay…
Thanks for the info.

Stock spring, which i think is a M100.
Might go for a new uneven M100…no point trying to chase more fps, out of a barrel length this size.

Hopefully, just a piston oring and lube needed…
Man, they are L O U D , for a lil CQB blaster.

M4 sized mag is good, compared to a slim ARP-9 mag which holds less.
I couldn’t find a teardown vid…so i’ll just poke along and see how i go…

Thanks…!

Might get you started, Beemer…

Thanks for the vid…

I get a bit nervous, undoing the grip screws now.
Maybe a light whack, through the screwdriver first…

Also, the internal bits falling out, when you remove the gearbox…
“where did they come from…how do they go back.??”

Oh well, give it a bash…

ok…got it pulled out, but not apart…

Question 1: where does this go.?
When i pulled it out, it fell out…unsure where it exactly goes…

it doesn’t seem to go on the other side…

Also, how do you get the remaining gears off.?
Ambi connection is holding the gearbox together…

That is the ambi through gear set.

I removed mine as it annoyed me as it did to you and fiddly to get back together.

You only need the selector plate on the left side to keep the left side selector.

Split the gearbox and pull all of those exterior gear sets out and line the bin up and bye bye headache. :joy: Flathead screwdriver from memory to pry the exterior gears off.

Loose ambi of course but for me the headache was not worth it. Put a standard SHS non ambi selector in to work with the selector plate, and selector plate too if needed.

Yours looks exactly the same as mine. Where the cylinder sits, the cast box, those corners there are not radiused to lower the chance of cracking. Yours is not cracked I can see so that’s good.

The spring in mine was more like a M120/140 front kingswood coil spring. 1.4mm wire diameter.

Take photos as you go to reference on reassembly. You’ll be right tiger :+1:

This is a reference pic to radius the gearbox to reduce the chance of cracking. Out with the grinder yeehah :rofl: :+1:

Christmas everyday :rofl:

What have you got :face_with_monocle: :joy:

“Kingswood front Coil Spring”

I choked on my Vegemite toast and spat out my coffee giggling at this. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

i’m doing my bit, to ensure Akgelblasters launch is a success…

ensuring continuing flow, of new products…!!

Its not an addiction, i can stop anytime…!! :rofl: :rofl:

Tan APC-9k out of stock currently…

I was SCARless, before this…
it needed a minor fix.
Power wire connector, came adrift in the stock.
Easy job. to pop the stock off, and reconnect it.
Not a pin, just circular metal wire loop…careful not to deform it…

without mags, can you tell which is LDT, which is Cyma.??

the mags give it away…

And no, not compatible…

LDT is a 360 fps machine OOTB…

Reviews coming later…
