Please excuse me if this question has been asked before - I have searched the site, but I can't do it extensively, cos I'm at work.

Do TM Thompson mags fit the ACM?

Also, how would one downgrade the FPS to be useable at Wotan?

First question: yes, no problem.

Second question: Don't know. mine's stock and don't have a chrono, so don't know what it's even firing at, let alone how to drop it down..

Put a 1 joule spring in it, then for other sites you will still have the more powerfull one, get it chrono'd first but they seem to have a fairly powerfull spring in it as standard, failing that buy a standard TM spring, this will give you about 280 fps,

Right, thanks for the info chaps. It's just when I was searching the site, someone said theirs was 350fps out of the box. This is my mate who has bought one for Wotan (his first skirmish), but I wouldn't want him to turn up and find he couldn't use it. :(

How long does it take to change a spring?

Will any 1J spring fit??

... or buy the Cybergun Official version that's 1J out of the box and not the hot Cyma one. :wink:

no, it's a tight fit to start with, but it gets easier. it you put a drop of silicon lubricant in the runners it helps too.

i just used the same silicon lubricant i use for everything gun related, but i doubt it matters what you use as it's not critical. you only need the tiniest of drops, one one each side of the runner.

if you go to maplin in town, they sell an aerosol can of it for about £4. just tell 'em you want a can of silicon lubricant, they'll sort you out.

FFS - just call me tomorrow, I'll pop over with the gun lube.

I need to go to Holme-pierre point to walk my dog, your 'kinda' on the way

Morning call is best - but not to early, ten-ish, maybe 11 lol.

Otherwise, like DM stated go to Maplin

It may affect the plastic, silicone spray is cheap & what you need, try your local Lidl, I know they used to have it for abour £1 a tin, I have been using the very stuff for over 18 months with no adverse effects,
