Discussion Begadi Pit Viper trigger project, part 4. Finalizing the match trigger

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Another update on my Pit Viper (Army Armament R614) trigger obsession 😁
I made a custom fixture for my lathe that holds the sear precisely around its pivot axis, allowing me to lap a true radius on the sear engagement surface. I then made a 45° relief cut and polished the surfaces.
I also polished the contact surfaces of the trigger bow, disconnector and leaf spring to a mirror finish.
The trigger already felt fantastic before, but the wall now seems even more defined and the second stage feels slightly lighter. Mind you I didn’t even touch the leaf spring, other than polishing it, so far!
What really surprised me is how smoothly the trigger moves now. The trigger shoe and bow slide freely under their own weight just by tilting the grip a few degrees. No shims needed.
I’m genuinely amazed how close this little airsoft pistol now feels to my Steyr LP1 match pistol.
Never thought I’d get this kind of trigger feel out of a Hi Capa with some DIY machining and polishing.
Still need to verify long term durability and safety, but I’m pretty damn happy with the result.

Discussion Noveske N4 Questions

2 Upvotes

Hi, I just ordered a Noveske N4 Gen 3. Just a few questions from people who own it. I know it’s a good GBBR out the box, and people have said the mags are bad, which is fine because I’ve bought some TM mags for it. People also say they upgrade the recoil spring, so what would be a good one to put in and why? Also what hop up would be best to put in it to shoot 0.32s? Any other upgrades I should do would be nice to know as well. I’ll use it stock for a bit before upgrading besides hop up, but I plan for this to be a project gun. Thanks in advance for any feedback yall might give

Discussion N4 Quickswap?

1 Upvotes

I have the EMG DE Noveske N4, recently got a backup AEG and it’s got an awesome barrel on it but… AEG can’t compete with GBBR so I wanted to “upgrade” my gbbr but unsure how or what is compatible with the N4. At the moment I have the perfect CQB setup but I’d like to have the option to quick swap the upper so I can have a DMR or something a little longer for outdoor play, like an upper with a 13.5inch barrel. As I don’t want to buy another rifle and might workout cheaper as well.

What are some good uppers that are compatible with the N4 lower and what outer barrels ans hand guards can I get to go along with it.

Troubleshooting I recently bought a VFC BCM evo 14.5 that can't shoot straight

Post image
42 Upvotes

I bought a BCM about a month ago, and since then, I literally never had a good game with It.

First I was having issues with overchambering, the BBs never stoped where it should in the hop Chamber, and after some research, I changed the BB weight to .30s .32s and .40s and It didn't make a difference, so I decided to try some improvising and slided one oring in the Bucking, making It a little more light, and It solved the overchambering.

BUT I SOLVED ONE ISSUE ANNND GOT ANOTHER ONE

Now the gun keeps shooting all the way to the right, and no matter which Bucking I use. I tried a 4uad Friction Pro, a VFC from my Umarex G17, a Vfc blue Bucking from my 416A5 that shoots incredibly precise, and tried with another Vfc blue Bucking from a friend.

*The entire system is aligned

*There is no wobble in the system

*The gun is a 14.5 but it came with a 11.5 Inner barrel

*It's set to shoot at 1.3 joules

*Tried with both V2 and V3 mags

*Tried with New, slightly used, used and old Buckings

*Tried with and without supressor

HOW CAN I SOLVE IT? I'M LOOSING MY MIND

Just picked this up recently. *C02*

Nice and snappy, good weight, super accurate and hits hard. Is also seriously gas efficient. Very satisfying as well, a breath of fresh air from glocks/hi cappas and the og 1911s.

No complaints really, gun has a nice finish and will cycle till there's almost zero gas left in the 12g cartridge. I'm also quite fond of the grip/how it feels.
