FINALLY got my cyborg

[slade]

ive wanted a borg since they first came out. the problem is, they cost way too much, so i settled for a $460 freestyle. i finally sold it, and got this borg which has just about every upgrade i wanted, in a color i like. the guy had little feedback though so i had him ship to destructive customs as a third party, but it showed up over two weeks late. i had to use my matrix for two practices, which kept chopping. so far this shoots fine, although the guy took horrible care of it. its a bit scraped up and dented, especially on the left side near the trigger pin (i dont know HOW he managed to do that installing a new trigger...). he took the picture he showed me so that the flash reflected off of the scratched part, and said the marker was "slightly scratched" around the trigger pin when i asked. the ram was way too sticky and looked like it hadnt been cleaned since he got it, it was covered with residue. i cleaned everything, relubed it, and now the ram and bolt will slide back and forth when i shake the marker. he had the trigger set up without a spring, and with the 25g trigger on the tadao board, it was way too bouncy. it would shoot (sometimes multiple times) if i held it and hit the tank. i drove out to radio shack and installed rare earth magnets for a trigger return, and its at least legal now. i was a bit concerned about that, considering the guy i got it from played NPPL and PSP. now i just have to figure out which barrel kit im going to sell, since i now have a matchstik and empire.

Congratulations.

Ick, the denting is nasty. What a retard that guy is. But hey, if it shoots sweet for you that's all that matters. SELL THE EMPIRE KIT and keep the Matchstick definitely!

[slade]

SELL THE EMPIRE KIT and keep the Matchstick definitely!
well, im waiting on offers for both :) neither is really better than the other, its just the numbers/sizes of the backs and fronts, and the matchstik seems to be more popular. but it also goes better with the borg.

oh, and the 2k5 CP on/off is really, really nice. i can just flick it with my thumb and turn it on or off. ive had it for a while, but until now didnt have a rail for it to go on.

My offer of 13 million lira still stands.

thanks, i was wondering how long itd take you to post :p

i still probably will do some sort of milling, we'll see. its not like i have anything to worry about as far as hurting the ano or scratching it up :rolleyes:

[Pha|anx]

Woot! :cheers: Another joins our ranks!


How did you do the magnet install? Just walk in to RS and ask for "rare earth magnets" they will know what I am talking about?

i looked around, didnt find it, asked someone for magnets, and he showed me a row (which was in one clump) with only about 4 different kinds, one of which was rare earth magnets. i wouldnt trust anyone at radioshack to know what rare earth magnets are, the girl at the register said "wow, those are really SMALL magnets!" when i bought them. actually, i was looking for smaller ones, but they only had one size.

Nice borg, definatley keep the matchstick kit, never been a fan of the empire kit myself.

[3pac]

congrats on the new 'borg. Finally got there!

[Pha|anx]

Matchstick > Empire

So I am looking for a really tiny magnet? But where/how do I mount them? Glue?


Borgs are nice markers, for sure. They rank in the top 3(non-mag list of course :cheers: )Care to enlighten us?

ehh, neither kit is really better. we'll see which sells.

yeah, its a little less than 1/4 of an inch in diameter. i epoxied one to the tiny set screw in the frame, and the other to the trigger (i countersunk the trigger first, but that may not be necessary).

[fire1811]

Hell if it shoots good who cares what it looks like

[rkjunior303]

...wait until you see the DC milling for the borgs.

Colin,

I'm actually in the market for another a/c barrel kit... AIM me. Or maybe I'll AIM you.

We need to ball sometime... You have to check out my new mag.

[slade]

...wait until you see the DC milling for the borgs.
...or, you could make it so i wouldnt have to wait, ya jerk :(

[BeaverEater]

ya a borg is a great gun, i really miss mine but im trying the whole dm thing right now. I just think they are faily simplistic guns and will still perform as good, if not better than most "high" end guns. Plus you can pick up a nice used borg for fairly cheap.

[pachytriton]

I've never shot a borg, but I've heard good things. How's the kick on them?

[rkjunior303]

what kick? lol

[slade]

what kick? lol
mine has a bit of kick, its not as smooth as the gen-e... but then again, that thing is heavy, and it has less reciprocating mass.

[Pha|anx]

Dwell? LPR? HPR? What internals?

It should not be noticeable.

[rkjunior303]

what is the proper dwell for a 04 borg? i just got a 2liter for mine and in order to get it chrono'd it was up to like 280psi and i had to have th lpr cranked up to 85.. i reset the lpr back to 65 and the 2liter to 200.. maybe i just need to break in the 2liter

[slade]

Dwell? LPR? HPR? What internals?

i havent looked at the dwell yet, HPR is set at around 220, LPR... i dont have a tool kit. its an 05 gen 3 borg.

i think the dwell is supposed to be 10 ms

[Alpha]

so i settled for a $460 sandbox.

Remember that day at AONE7? :rofl:

[slade]

Remember that day at AONE7? :rofl:
...if i find sand in the damn breech one more time... ;)

[Pha|anx]

what is the proper dwell for a 04 borg?Dwell should be set to 10ms, although some run at 9ms and I run at 7-9.

[Pha|anx]

This is what I ended up doing--

[WARPED1]
