Double feeding

evilrobotshane

It seems to be a bit of an issue with the G&G F2000. I've checked out and replaced the hop-up rubber. I've tried three types of mags and different BBs. I read online that double feeds can be caused by a problem with the anti-reversal latch but I had a good look at it and it's working fine.

I appreciate that teething problems happen, and that despite the over-the-top super-positive reputation G&G have for some reason in Ireland they're generally recognised amongst the greater airsoft community to have their issues. However, something like this has got to be resolvable with a bit of rejiggering or trimming or buffering or something.

Anybody got any ideas? I'm a bit stumped at this stage.

G&G, my dad has a custom stubby killer, the body is a metal raider body, and for some reason the mag well is a lot larger then the plastic raider body, so to stop his miss feeds etc we put a layer of tape around the top of the mag for a tighter fit haven't had trouble since.

I seem to have finally nailed this one. I thought it might be the Hop-Twist barrel I had in it, but a lot of swapping back and forth and testing each time eventually tore up the Guarder hop-up bucking I was using, and without a spare in the house at the moment I reverted to the unused original from the F2000. And it works great, with both barrels.

So that's the answer, the Guarder bucking is too squishy I guess, for whatever combination of factors that are ramming BBs up in there. That being the case, anybody got suggestions for hop-up buckings that aren't the Guarder clear ones, but are good use within the 1 Joule limit? Also, anybody experienced anything like this themselves?

I've had a few probs with guarders in different hop chambers (too fat to fit in and get stretched out of shape), a few of the buckings came a bit too stretched and the bb would just drop through them (the lips at the end were just a fraction wider than the size of a bb). I've used G&P buckings before to great effect, firefly apparently aren't too bad either while prommy purple are pure poop (even wider than the bad guarders)! Oh and systema seemed to work great for me too (cant remember which gun its in).

Excellent stuff, thank you very much! I'd have expected Systemas to be designed for high-power outputs though, although thinking about it I don't actually know what all that Systema PTW stuff is about really.

i actualy found the stock G&G gave me more range and i was useing less hop with it

Have you tried a Madbull blue. On some site they seem to have giving it a higher 'hardess' rating, but they are quite soft. :eek:

They also have an extra set of 'lips' on the inside.

While we swopping info. Is the nub opening on your twisty smaller & a little longer than the same thing on a standard / other TBB.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check them out.

No, I had a look (just eyeballs) at the nub opening on both the Hop-Twist barrel and the stock one that came in the F2000 side-by-side and they looked exactly the same. When I put the hop-up unit on either and dialed it on the rubber protruding into the barrel looked the same on both and perfectly normal like any other barrel I've done it on, so I thought no more of it.
