Drozd and Blackbird Discussion / Review of BlackBird mag. rebuild
« on: June 11, 2017, 10:29:08 PM »
Magazine rebuild review

 I was trying to run 3&4k rpm on my BlackBird with factory plastic gears and I knew they would not last when East Milford
offered to install steal gears for me if I sent him my Mag. I agreed and sent it off to him with a warning of what he would
find.

 When he received the mag. and looked it over he asked if it
would be alright if he did some additional repairs and mods
and I agreed. I lost track of what all he did but he rebuilt the
whole mag practically.

New valve body with bb centering mod.
New valve, spring, seals
New steal gears and clutch
New motor
Feed tube mod
Opened up air passage
Reworked my latch plate
New mag clip

You name it he did it. Not only does it shoot smooth now but
I gained 100 fps. It's shooting 850 fps on 1000 psi.
I can highly recommend East Milford to anyone who need some
work done. Everything looks very professional.

Thanks again East Milford

Drozd and Blackbird Discussion / BlackBirds back in the US

I see Inova is selling Blackbirds again and Bumblebees
The birds are spendy. They also have barrels. Maybe it's
A move in the right direction but I'd like to see the price
Come down.

Very cool you are a talented guy. That eliminates the need for
a latch plate with that mod. I won't be trying that one any time
Soon I'm not that good at welding.

Any one try to buy from these guys? I tried the web site but it won't work
so I emailed them and they will send me one for$289 plus $100 for
Shipping but not sure if I trust it.

Just now got my new 4K board installed and it works good but now
I have a new problem with my valve body. Years ago I drilled a hole
In the top of it and installed a magnet for bb centering and with
The stronger motor it just pounds that out very quickly. It worked
Fine with the factory motor. Maybe I can weld it shut or get a new
One. I think it will do 2K now if I can fix my screw up.

Just a quick test on the workbench without the Mag. Connected it will only fire 256 times before
Shutting off pull trigger again and you get another 256 shots so that problem is in the board.

Another test with everything connected I get 256 @ 2K and then it drops to slow rpm again.
I think I have multiple problems going on. I have a new board coming from Sergey but that
Won't be here for two weeks or more. I'm going to put this on hold till then.

I made one today but need to test it. I had to grind the screw heads down to get it to slid in.
To be continued...

Ok thanks I'm using the same batteries as you so I think your right about the latch.

Drozd and Blackbird Discussion / How many shots
« on: January 10, 2017, 12:59:34 PM »
Are you guys getting from your battery packs? I just upgraded my BlackBird to 2K
with mixed results. I am running IMR 14500's and I can get about a 320 round
burst then the gun shuts down. If I try another burst it will shoot at a much lower
Rpm. I see a lot of you using the 18650's. my goal is to dump a full mag.
Without having to stop or am I asking to much.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Mark
