I've found the perfect one:

I'm filled with equal parts dread and excitement at the task ahead of me ha! I'm fairly sure I've got a load of shims in one of the boxes so will check first and order some if not. Thanks again for all your feedback - I've got a bit of a checklist to follow now, so that gives me a bit more confidence. Much appreciated!

another scammer!1.. claims his "Mate" has the guns i'm after lol

Prepare thyself for the infinite rabbit hole of "fucking about with airsoft guns"! Rubber parts, yes hop rubber and O-rings. If your AEG doesn't have an O-ring nozzle it may be worth getting a new nozzle that does (make sure you measure it first and get the right length). Again, all parts that @ak2m4 can help you out with. If the old grease is particularly heavy handed it may be worth getting some new shims and reshimming the gears once you clean it out. Check the bore of the cylinder for any scratching/gouges, make sure the piston head is still secure and that any pad on the inside of the cylinder head isn't loose/worn/damaged. GBB is likely to be O-rings on the bottom of the mag too. Put some gas in it and submerge it to see if and where it leaks. No point changing fill valves if they're OK. Depending on the pistol you may be able to get a specific service kit for the mags (more expensive than just getting a bunch of O-rings but more likely to have the right ones). Again, take pictures and post them up in the tech threads here if you're unsure!

That's a good way to get yourself kicked off site.

@Tommikka No need to be concerned ... I am first aid trained and know how to use a TQ, plus I have an almost new box of dinosaur plasters in the pack. But sarcasm aside, I take the point .... I'll be losing the, rope TQ and Shears and adding another mag pouch in order to streamline the rig. Smooth is Fast and all that .... 😉😏

Yeah - that's me - those are my guns, although I binned off that Specna a couple of years ago because it was shite, and never bothered selling the ICS-specific design because I couldn't route the wiring in a way that I was happy with. I've posted an STL file on your thread - no idea if it'll work or not.

TM Bodyguard 380 Came with a free game day at ground zero so quite the deal.

It’s a sticky wicket mate I’ve tried MWS charging handles in my systema mk18 they work but some require modifications due to the hop unit you’re using and type of cylinder

After hearing lots of good things about them i bought a 4uantum bucking & nub. Guess i need to buy another AEG to put it in now.

Chrono - yes Re-grease - yes you will need to open the gearbox up. Also worth getting a can of engine degreaser from Halfords and some fresh grease (I'm a fan of Abbey Gun Grease LT2 for gears and Abbey Silicon grease for plastic/rubber parts - all on Amazon) As for the tricky ones to work on, go slow, take LOTS of pictures during disassembly and as always - ask questions. Someone here is almost guaranteed to have done a gun like yours at some point!

Unfortunately the inner barrels seems to be fixed at a certain angle so I cannot rotate them. I had same suspect because the barrel on top is kot exactly straight (hour 12), but more like hour 2. Do you know if the barrel on top need to be at hour 12 ?

I think we all know that Hello Kitty plasters will make you heal twice as fast.

@Kha0s should be super easy to get your existing aeg's in order - just a re-grease, some new orings and a new hop rubber. Maybe a new spring - dead easy 🙂 If you get stuck plenty of video's and help on here

Can second Pete and AK2M4 - lovely fella and he offers a great service + he's always trying new stuff and experimenting with stuff before they're sold on the site instead of just throwing stuff on there like most other retailers do

Pete at @ak2m4 is my recommendation for parts supply. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/index.php?route=common/home He's a regular here and is always happy to help and advise!

Anything rubber will probably have dried out so yes, as you suspect it's going to be new hop rubber, gas seals etc at a minimum. Depending on what sort of lube and level of maintenance you were at when the guns went into storage then I'd certainly consider a good overall service. Batteries - absolutely. Get some new ones. If you have Nimh type ones then they've been roundly replaced by LiPo (go for 7.4v ones though). If you already had LiPo be grateful they haven't already burnt your house down and get rid! New seals are cheap, just change them over and then you can sell as "refurbished" rather than "serviced but might still leak like a sieve".

Honestly?! Id just buy a basic specna arms type aeg. There has been a massive improvement in the quality of kit available in 10 years. Now, you could regrease everything, swap hop rubbers over and buy new batteries, and it'd cost less but the aim of the game is to have fun. If you dropped out previously it's because you didn't find it fun enough and I'd advise to do the thing that's most fun. Ruining a couple of games days as you do some maintenance and realize it needs more of this or that isn't worth the savings you'll make or the feeling you're being out performed. This route might cost you the love of the hobby. Personally if I was determined to fix up what I had, new hop rubbers, new 7.4 lipo batteries and a barrel clean. If opening the gearbox and greasing is needed.....well then id just buy a new one.

I read this on their website and may have just been a bit sick in my mouth on the plus side they have a merch shop coming soon......
