    Shimming Gearbox, have questions. DONE.

     I couldn't say who makes the motor, it's a standard stock one, no identifying marks on it at all.  Will not play with the motors on these till they go bad, or I get bored and want a gate titan. Found the pinion and pinion puller....  new gears and pinion on way for son's gun and mine.  The...

    Shimming Gearbox, have questions. DONE.

    Sorry my bad, SHS gears. Moved onto doing my sons V3 gearbox, just a shim job and a check.   Good job too, a nice surprise from the factory...... No major sign of damage on any gears, I guess he got lucky....   But...  I have the gearbox open so seems silly not to upgrade, his cylinder head...

    Shimming Gearbox, have questions. DONE.

    All done.  definitely sounding better, on closer inspection of the pinion I could see a shiny spot on the edge, so pretty sure it wasn't making good contact from the factory setup. Anybody know if new pinion gears with a better fit to HSS gears are available?   Not going to redo just for that...

    Shimming Gearbox, have questions. DONE.

    Thank you Leo. Fitted motor pinion to bevel gear by hand and it's tightest with the motor pinion at an angle to the drive gear.  Can you get better pinion gears with an angle more matching the bevel gear? As this isn't achievable right now the next best thing was pushing the motor further...

    Shimming Gearbox, have questions. DONE.

    Hi, I've stripped and cleaned me gear box and I'm fitting a new set of SHS 16:1 gears. Not doing motor so only going for a small upgrade from 18:1 to 16:1.   Pointless to many, and I would agree, but gears that were in it were rusty.. long story (see my very first post in the AEG section).  I...

    New M4 out the box, 170 FPS.

    Thank you both Rogerborg & Leo Yes, still 1999 up here. Springs are all XT branded from AK2M4. Watched a few YouTube vids last night on nozzles to see if mine was ok and NOT ONE motioned doing this.  My nozzle makes what I think is OK contact with the bucking lips and it goes back enough...

    New M4 out the box, 170 FPS.

    Swapped to a 430mm long barrel, hidden in the normal mock suppressor.   M95   0.2g BB - NO HOP 334 FPS M100 0.2g BB - NO HOP 361 to 365 FPS M105 0.2g BB - NO HOP 388 + FPS My field limit is 360 so settled on the M100 with hop sits at 348 to 355. Does this look right or could there be...

    New M4 out the box, 170 FPS.

    It works!    Had to shave down one tooth a little as the AEO had changed a smidge.  Run a bit of 3000 grit over the inside of the port on new cylinder for peace of mind.  Used some Teflon tape over the hop unit/barrel washer to hold it in place. Used many many 4 letter words directed at...

    New M4 out the box, 170 FPS.

    Thank you Leo, perfect insights for me and will defo follow up with the "Long Range AEGs" post and forum, will be some night time reading.  The double seal cylinder head has the smaller/thinner of the rubber pads available I have seen so I hope will act as good as a plastic one for shock...

    New M4 out the box, 170 FPS.

    Because I can't leave anything along for very long I cleaned the barrel, I have been waiting on some polish and IPA. Polish was used to remove oxidation this time only and not to "polish" the barrel, it was then cleaned with the IPA.  Easy to see by eye but next to impossible to picture but...

    New M4 out the box, 170 FPS.

    The M4 is EMG F4 Defence Licensed F4-15, I don't believe EMG make them but I don't know who does, does anybody? Gear box is a Dytac Ver.2 QD 8mm w/ Acetech MOSFET.  The GB shell seems pretty good, but it's the first I have seen in the flesh so not sure my opinion counts for much. To be clear...

    New M4 out the box, 170 FPS.

    Hi, Brand new out the box M4, my first RIF so wanted to keep it basic.  I will be the generic M4 player for a while. This was 1 of three RIF's bought via Evike. An M4 for me, and a AK and an AUG for my sons, the AK and M4 took just over 5 weeks to get to me from the US via France to the UK... ...
