Question about A&K or Bravo M1892

[bum_q]

Hey guys, I've been really interested in this gun and have a question.
I read that this gun shoots pretty hot, so I was wondering if a NPAS or something can be installed in it to shoot around 350-400 fps range.
Is duster gas a better alternative?

I own the Bravo m1892. Duster still shot too hot for me. I wanted a sub 350 fps velocity, so I modified mine a bit.

I had a bag of miscellaneous springs laying around, so I swapped out the hammer spring. After a bit of playing around with different springs, I worked out a combination that gave me a fairly consistent fps of about 350. The range has suffered though.

You should also be aware that the metal arm between the trigger and hammer is very fragile, and will break on you. I made a new one with a bar of steel, a hand file and and a few hours time.

If you can, grab the A&K model. I have heard that the metal is better quality than the bravo.

I bought a bravo 1892, fragged after less than 60 rounds, but I'm optomistic that I may be able to get parts to get it running now that a&k make one. The pot metal frame had cracked and the hammer mech had shattered, after lessvthan an hour of play, I was pretty pissed.
