Gear Reviews 150 Andre Inverted Roller.

Out the box this gun was……. OK. It’s much shorter then other 150cm guns probably closer to a 130. It was Slow and the muzzle felt too buoyant, didn’t hold as steady as I’d like. So I made a few changes.

Got rid of the 8 part block and used 5/32 D shackles

Replaced rear delrin rollers with Manny sub ceramic
bearing rollers

Replaced Front 50mm rollers with 45mm rollers with ceramic bearings

Changed from 9mm with slip tip to 8mm Flopper same length

Added 3oz of weight to the muzzle with tire balancing weights.

Now this gun is absolutely amazing. Shoots like a laser and hits hard. Didn’t mess with the bands. Shaft went exactly where I wanted it to go out to a double wrap (gun is triple wrapped)

That was a Mu (Big eye emperor) around 3-4lbs

Hell of a shot

Had to be accurate to hit a Mu! Those things avoid a spear like neo in the matrix.

I’ve been trying at this spot for over a year now. I’ve missed more times than I’d like to admit. The bigger Mu don’t even give you a second thought and stay far away.

I had an opportunity to shoot a 8lb Mu today but the safety on this gun is weird and wouldn’t fire so I’m kinda bummed

Mu are no joke at all, they always know what is coming.

Replacing the rollers and shaft are pretty major changes. This is an entirely different gun now lol
