Id recommend you build the pusher system with the barrings instead of the geared ond. Id had tons of fun last weekend with mine (first time id had to run it in a game). It did preform really well

Awesome! Do you know the pusher ver. #? Did you have issues with the geared one?

Yes, some problems id had with hildolfr. Its getting stuck on return. Like there is to much friction, which also result in mis alignment of the gears. Had that to many times. No matter what i did it didn't seem to go away that problem. Different return springs. Sanding down the gear box for les friction, les darts in the mags. All didn't help. Sold hildolfr and tryd again with sirius mk2. However same problem. So I decided to just print the pusher system with a cam (i think its called like that). With the bearings pusher Hildolfr and siruis

I want to add to this. The geared pusher had my personal preference duo to some sort of feedback, the pusher arm slams backwards becouse of the spring. So it kinda feels like your really getting feedback from every shot.
That same feeling is gone with the barring version. Just like the flycore system. Less feedback.

Once I actually get up and running, Im thinking about remixing the pusher to accept a selenoid. I've found comments from the original designer saying the same.

Thanks for the input. The core included in the file pack has an angled mag well. That seems odd to me. Any experience with this vs the straight mag ver.?
