So i went to a big game yesterday. I have a black V2 clone with gold bolt.

looks like I was able to get 6 pods + a full prophecy on a 4000 fill in a 68/45

that sounds about right... 7.5 pods?

Well since the vx drivetrain is to be more efficient, I would assume thats okay...?

I'm not sure how much v2s are supposed to get.

got the droid today, sexy and shoots money, it has a virtue board, virtue eyes, gold bolt and new trigger. i'm in love, im trying to get pics now

So do I continue to wait for macdev to possibly announce the new cyborg or look elswhere for a poppet? I have a feeling that if I do buy something else, macdev announces it leaving me w/ buyer's remorse.

Not sure, but I would love to see a new cyborg. It's been awhile since we've seen a new poppet from Macdev. Last I heard they were in the making, so who know how long it could be. If you buy something else you could always sell what you have and get something else, like a cyborg.

Borgs have always been one of my favorite poppets, so I'm also anxious to see what they have.

[seriouslysilly]

James has hinted that it is coming very soon. Soon to the fact that they didn't want the release of the new cyborg to interfere with the GT release. Just don't know when though....this year?

On another note, decided to purchase some viton, poly, and HNBR orings for the VX and GT. I'm stoked to install them.

[seriouslysilly]

Ohhh kaaaay... not much action in the group

After 1.5 cases in the GT after the oring rebuild (mostly viton in the dynamic orings in the drivetrain and poly on the powertube), I had to turn the reg about 1/2 turn down.
At the start of the day, it was at 100psi/280fps.
Will check the currrent pressure when I get a chance.

Was quite consistent as well in the beginning of the day.
Didn't even hand fit the orings
Can't wait how it will be after 3-4 cases

Well, I am seriously considering buying a Clone GT. Just letting you guys know

[cybermaniac15]

Okay.

Elaborate. What exactly did you change, and why? I'm curious lol

[CdTriX]

i heard viton in the keg is suppose to help seal better allowing the gun to last a little longer in maintenance and efficiency over buna.

[akt22]

well since I live like 45 min away from mcmaster-carr, I might as well try it out. Anyone have a list of the specific orings to change? Or is it just the 11, 16 and 17 orings on the bolt, keg and powertube?

dunno, still waiting on the dude above to reply and explain some of the reasoning behind it.

seriouslysilly... please post your video here.

wont take credit.. but Mark S. on pbnation has done extensive experiementing with orings as well as Eric aka shootnpoo.

i will now also change my dynamic orings to poly. ill report back with results.

the end result is hopefully a lower operating pressure.

[akt22]

well serious' vid changes the powertube orings into polyurethane while changing the valve/spacer orings into viton. Any reason why that's the case instead of switching to only 1 type?

[JGARRIGUES0001]

Can anybody give reasons? Like detailed reasons for the material chosen and what purpose it serves in that particular place on the bolt engine? And what the durometers for the replacement o-rings are? I'd like to hear the theory behind all of it.

[seriouslysilly]

For me, I put viton on: bolt tip, bolt switch, inner bolt keg, valve, and spacer
Poly: on the powertube (front/mid)

Here's the info on different types of orings http://www.macdevmil...hread.php?tid=9

The viton and poly are harder orings that create a better seal. Shootnpoo says that one would want a really good seal on the valve and powertube

Since they are harder, an oring overhaul will not be as frequent as buna.
Mark S has also said that they are slicker when broken in and should allow for a slight decrease in pressure.
Haven't gotten that far yet

^^^^ BINGO!

my orings shipped out yesterday i think. hopefully i can get them before the weekend. practice this saturday should result in 2-3 cases being shot through the GT...it'll give the poly orings a good chance to break in.

[seriouslysilly]

You got all poly for the dynamic orings? Keep us updated on that please. I was a bit scared (and cheap) in going all poly at first .

Checked the pressure after that initial case and relubing video. It seems to be around 90 psi to achieve 285fps
