the CASV IS meant to use a barrel mount M203, which is impossible to mount due to the silencer and barreel mod (it's like having a CQB barrel)

I was planning on putting a custom gas block in but there's really no point

The M203 is bolted directly onto the lower guard, mounting it closer reduces the forces on it because its made of shitty pot metal just like everything else in China. A little worried about it breaking, but even if the tabs at the back break, it's not difficult to rig one of these together

And my magnum was overheating like crazy, if I shot off 30 rounds in semi real quick my triggermaster would give me an overheat warning and the grip was just radiating heat. Figured the active braking was just going nuts on a magnum. Anyway with all the troubles I hear about them on the airsoftmechanics forums I decided to send it in to a local RC enthusiast to get it tuned.
Sent it in with my G&P M140
Before tuning, both motors were run at 8v
G&P 140 - drew 4.5A
Magnum - drew 7A
After tuning the magnum was drawing 5.5A, cant recall what the M140 was drawing, somewhere around 3A i think
