^ agreed. re-shim, re-lube and AOE. AOE = angle of engagement. sorbo pad ftw

also i have a back up g&g Gr16 blowback that i just re-shimed and fixed its about 6months old. would it be a good idea to swap the gears from the g&g with the gears in the echo 1?

can you still add those after AOE has been adjusted?

nylon washers behind piston head is better in my opinion

nylon washers work fine if the gearbox is reinforced and doesn't need impact protection. some builds require more protection than others.
here's one that needed impact protection:
heavy spring and heavy piston on full auto.

no, adding more will over-correct AOE and will cause timing problems.wolf six wrote:can you still add those after AOE has been adjusted?

it wont have any affect.
Also can you add a sorbo after AOE has been adjusted
