Drozd and Blackbird Discussion / Re: BB Feed Sleeve Mod.

Nicely done. Great ideas!

I ported my whole air feed system from the inside of the HPA regulator on the tank all the way to the mag head. Anything that could be done. I posted photos and How-to about it all on the old forum somewhere some years back. It did make a very noticeable difference in power.

TBK, have you taken it apart yet?? If not, when you do, take photos of the guts and post them. I am very curious as to how it works inside.

Drozd and Blackbird Discussion / Review of BlackBird mag. rebuild
« Last post by Westwind 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

Stock pitch is .5mod.
For the complete kits i did it in 48p, there are more styles of gears to choose from in this dimension.

2.3mm for the jameco motor shafts.  1/8 bore works for the middle gear, and 5mm bore works with a little sanding for the auger gear.

Here are more pictures, these better show the machining that is done to the gears. These are made specific for the Drozd drivetrain.

Mason, let me know if you want me to send a gear set your way.

P.S. Have a look at the BB feed tube mod i did. There is a significant gain in FPS to be had. It makes the gun a good bit louder too. I'll have to do a decibel test but I'd estimate that it gains more than 10db.  It most noticeably increases the fps during full-auto strings.

Nah. Pretty much came up with the same conclusions on the bird. I did have to fit some burned out clutch gears with brass washers though. Just a different take from your CF plate, and metal gears which sounds superior.
