Thanks for the link. Glad you guys know your stuff. But I give the little guy credit though.

Kinda reminds me of when I used to build RC cars.

Alrighty. I will. Btw, I have a review up on that POS dmps a17. Look at it on youtube. Once the dpms broke for the 9th time, I decided to invest in this gun.

Hey, thanks bud. Thats the same one I have. I didnt mind buying a cheap one to learn on. Im a machinist and once I see how they work, will try my hand at replicating some of the mechanisms.

See, you can teach an old dog new tricks

I wouldn't bother with Element as well as ordering from overseas if you don't have to. Check Out Airsoftparts.ca I just ordered a bunch of parts for my Kraken from there.

Leave the spring unless you want to shoot at a higher or lower FPS than what you are already.

Also that inner barrel is too long, the std for an AK is 455mm.

Eww... Element has some somewhat usable parts, and some unusable ones, but I can't recall them making any good parts.
Although this is a kraken.... so maybe it's fine.
Just leaving a message.

[Conflicts6]

Well, I am getting a longer barrel because have a compensator on the end of the barrel and I have heard that element is a good company to go with. Well, Obv. JBU or Systema would be better, but you sure are paying for it.

Go to airsoftparts.ca and order up some Modify parts. They will be at your house in a few days.
Go overseas or USA and wait for weeks and pay customs duty and taxes, you will find that you don't save much.

All the parts I've used and sold that are Element have been good and have had NO complaints. So unless you're talking from lots of experience like me, keep quiet.

Just a update everyone, Just purchased these upgrades. And I ordered from GunnerAirsoft and it was 61$ plus 27$ sshipping. Im getting it shipped to the US(I live right accros the borader) So, when it comes in I will go pick the parts up. I'v done this befor, and If me and my mom, dad and bro go across to pick it up there will be no duty. Its 20$ a person for Less than 24 hours accross the boarder. So this works great for me. And just a question, can I get Lithium grease at canadian tire or something?

I've seen some element parts used and they work fine for the purpose intended, I wouldn't use them, but still.
The big downer was a bore-up kit that had no airseal between the piston head and cylinder. As in I removed the nozzle, held the cylinder head closed, and could still move the piston with no resistance.
280fps on a systema M120S... Really though, I'm saying in my OP that some are usable while some aren't; and you'll also have noticed that I said it matches the kraken budget anyways.

Well, thats not good. Kk, I am wondering everyone how the hell you take off the hopup unite from the barrel n the aftermath kraken. It see it wont buge? maybe its glud on?

[Conflicts6]

Can someone please help me, How the hell do you take the hopup unite off of the barrel? Its not budging! It should came off?

[yuhaoyang]

remove the retaining clip, make sure the hop-up is turned off, you should be able to pull it out then.
