509mm barrel eh? Looks like I know my next upgrade. My tech guy even said that the stock barrel was junk and too long but didnt have "long" inner barrel in stock at the shop. Of course we happen to be talking about the issue with the barrel practically the same day you guys mention it as well. I think dropping it down to the Madbull 6.03mm x 509mm long barrel would be beneficial...especially since the stock one is junk.
I did get to play with my gun yesterday after all the other work had been done on it...my tech went as far as to fill in the underside of the plastic BB loading tub that the Box Mag feeding spring inserts into with hotglue to add some weight and he leveled it out on the bottom and added velcro to the underside of it as well as the metal tray that it sits on top of in the body of the gun... If you remember KenTsui i mentioned how the spring would pop out and i was having the use some duct tape to hold the feeding tube spring in place? Yeah...not anymore!
The shimming on the hopup worked real well, infact, he also took out the big spring that applied pressure on the hop up as that wasnt necessary after he worked on it.
I used my MG42 at a game yesterday for the first time since all the work...No problems with it firing, no problems with the box mag feeding or loading, trigger works great winding and firing the gun...overall just great performance thus far. Next step is installing a new barrel and probably adding some electrical tape around the barrel at various parts to keep vibration down and support the barrel with the help of the outer barrel.
