Flat Top problem, questions and an introduction to me...

Let me know what you guys think, I'm looking for answers to the issue with the flat top and a few other questions that I'd like answered.

Feel free to throw some ideas to me.

Lol why did you change your username??



And 1 question, is that a bolt and nut, or just a bolt on there? I've heard that people use a bolt and nut so do this so when they screw in the bolt, it gets tights somehow. I'm not sure how they do it. I had to do the flat-top with JB weld and didn't do this at all. SO I'm probably not the BEST person for this.

As for the airline, I used electrical tape and it works fine.

As for the rocket cock, I don't know how to do this since I'm modding mine to put a M4 charging handle, but Dunk-Almighty put a rocket cock on his Salvo. He modded it with his dremel. Sadly he is moving and doing work on a house and won't be back until...around June 12th.

AND FOR THE BOLT, this is GREAT advice, my AB was chopping like crazy, then I installed a new bolt and powertube assembly, now it shoots..just amazing!!! I'll put a before and after video in a minute.

The name of this is called the Rufus Dawg Bolt And Powertube Assembly, click the name to go to hustlepaintball.com's one.













Edit: Here are the videos, btw these are a couple months old (February and March) so my gun looks different from the two videos, except for the paint, and I've cut off the handle since then lmfao:

AFTER INSTALLING THE RUFUS DAWG THING:

David, as far as the JB Weld thing, how do you get your marker apart to service it after that?

You only JB weld it to the one shell, so you can easily take it apart just like normal

So basically only JB weld it to the right or left side of the shell, I think I get it.

Yeah only one clam shell, doesn't matter which one.

Hmm, didn't think about that! Hope he sees that before he JB welds it haha.

JB weld...isnt that great

Lol okays...

For mine I used a self tapping screw slightly larger than the hole I drilled...worked out well and has held up over the last 5 years! No JB Weld needed.

From the video, it looks like the screw is just slightly too long. A lock washer of the same diameter should rasie the screw up slightly and eliminate the wiggle.

I gotta get the time to go to the hardware store and then to my dad's place (he has almost all the tools in the family) and if we need to make any "adjustments" to the washer or anything we can do that there.

I will try the allen screw with a slightly larger diameter than the hole though as well.

Here's a tip that might be useful ....before you screw the Allen screws in..loosen the receivers halves just a little..enough to get the screws for the flat top started...once they are just barely started.. tighten the receiver halves up and then start screwing your Allen screws down...should self thread :)

Much appreciated Storm, I'll definitely try that too.

no problem..i try to help when needed

Hopefully when I get this week's paycheck I'll be able to start the work on everything, I'm gonna buy lock washers AND JB Weld this week when I go down to my dad's place and probably end up spending some time in the garage with him trying to get the damn rail to stay in place. Also guys, anybody know where would be a good place (sporting goods or otherwise to maybe get a longer SINGLE rail for the flat top and then be able to hold the other two off for maybe my shroud once I get everything together for that.

academy sports usually has them...if you have an academy sports in your area..if not any local airsoft place will have them
