    Building my own m4, but buying a complete gearbox; question is, whats the difference between having plastic or metal internals?

    Good quality parts help but mean very little if assembled badly.

    Mediocre bits n bobs will perform very well if assembled correctly. Reckon 25% parts 75% attention to detail or fitting

    Got quite a lot of ZCI stuff in my SCAR now, been very impressed with the quality so far. No idea how well their hop's perform though.

    Also AK2M4 have awesome service (thanks for the motor pete!).

    Well i've been holding back on building this thing for quite some time, but since my primarys started failing on me, i kinda figured i needed a new hobby ;) other than that, im fairly experienced in whacking bits and bobs together OUTSIDE of the gearbox. Inside, well.....first time i messed around with a gearbox i ended up selling and ultimate gearbox in pieces for £20......

    Rephrase due to idiocy: is there such a thing called internal o-rings, located inside the fill valve?

    Yeah most have small o-rings in tnem

    No idea of the specific name though but if you go to Halfords or something I'm sure they'll have a load of small ones

    happy days :3 turns out my px4 mags were leaky because the threading was loose :3 easy fix and only one needed PTFE tape

    because a 2 triple mag pouches that are empty is heavy enough xD nah, just decided to sling my M4 on the vest as it was hanging up...bad choice......

    Got some clips of previous airsoft games that need editing; anyone know a decent 32-bit editing system that wont spaz out over 1080p AVI files?

    Tempted with a D-boys 416, but the branding severely puts me off; anyone got recommendations?

    lol by branding i actually meant in terms of the quality of their clones, considering they arent necessarily known (to me) for putting out any decent weapons.

    I've owned both TM AND vfc SCARs....TM's are far superior!

    Thing to remember is mag compatibility with many 416's as magwell is a bit bigger than regular M4 - mid caps work best in my hk-416.

    nice gun but it does need a few upgrades - mainly hop unit and getting good mags

    stock mag is w@nk

    Having a spot of bother looking for an CAA AEG polymer hopup replacement. Anyone got eyes on? :)

    It's just a standard M4/M16 type hop unit. an asg Ultimate or Pro win should fit

    Thought #2: Would a GBB mp7 be woodland skirmishable? practically my only working gun till the m4 comes out of repair!

    I can't comment on on the VFC, but TM is a definite due to their brilliant hop ups.

    R
    RabidNinja64
    the hop on the VFC is alright tbf; ive yet to hold a TM to know the difference but given the chance id probably swap for one :P other than that the cooldown on VFC isn't too harsh either, just more preferable to stay on single shot

    Then again saying that for a woodland game, i intend to be running around quite abit in a sort of "lone wolf" perspective.

    Kinda curious as to how well a CB plate carrier and MTP top n bottoms will blend in a forest environment......will find out sunday!

    just casually spraying my glock slide chrome. looking pretty kickass so far!

    Why not just sand it down till it's "chrome" then polish it?

    can you do this with all guns? might do it with my g&g extreme, what grit sandpaper do i need.

    Start with something like 120 and then use 150 to smooth it out.

    Anyone got eyes on the ICS 252 (Better known as the Sig 552) ? £160 sounds decentish..or is ICS shite?

    I have an Ics Sig 552 its a great gun. Forget what it says above.mosfet is pointless unless you change other stuff or are planning on using an 11.1 lipo.

    Inner barrel is fine the bucking is crap though.

    Pay the extra and get the mrs version though lots of RIS and you dont need a peq box for the battery. Mags are an issue thats the only thing.

    I picked one up 2nd hand a few weeks for a bargain; liking it so far.

    Much more solid than my old TM and JG versions and the quick take-down is a god-send!

    Argh! second gun of the year which is totally knackered (according to "expert opinion") which will probably cost me just as much as getting a new one. Should just avoid m4 builds altogether at this point.

    S
    Sitting Duck
    what exact gun & model and what's the matter with it ????

    Rock-climby-Dave

    A lot of things have to go wrong at once for something to be completely knackered.

    *Sigh* turns out my mate was having me one xD kindly dropped it off at JD for me today and then told me they needed new parts, THEN told me he was joking the w**ker.

    Anyone know where i can buy a cheap pack of o-rings online? a pack of 8 pieces of small rubber for 4 quid seems too ridiculous for me.

    "Superglue fuses rubber if it contains cyanoacrylate"

    Come on. Seriously did you just say that? Super Glue IS a cyanoacrylate adhesive. Also it doesn't fuse, it bonds.

    Anyway, the reason your particular case failed was most likely down to poor bonding of the original rubber pad on the head. Which is the precise reason why pretty much EVERY tutorial I've ever seen for AoE correction says you should remove any original pad before fixing on your sorbo pad. Cheap...

    I'm gonna back out of this but not ALL adhesives marked as "super glue" contains that.

    Simple check that was all

    I've never yet seen a "super glue" that isn't a cyanoacrylate. Granted Super Glue is a trade name so not all cyanoacrylates are "Super Glue" but I'm pretty sure all super glues are cyanoacrylate. Happy to be proven wrong as ever though.

    Anyone got recommendations for the G&G CM line? Tempted to get a CM18 or Raider series. Hell, i'll even get the KAC PDW if it's worth the money! :3

    Well the final question of the day is how well does it perform? i've heard positive things about most G&G products, bar the 30th.

    i dont really mind front wired, and i'd probably end up changing the handguard to a full rail RIS, as the lipo's i have are abit too big these days to hide inside so a bat-box is needed in most situations.

    S
    Sitting Duck
    30th ??? - maybe I have said the 26 30th front sight is bit flimsy but the GC16 30th is the bollox - seen only happy reviews about the GC16 30th and mine I'm over the moon with. Though I haven't took her out skirmishing coz got her to add to my G&G collection and got plenty of others I take instead - Inside it is a CM16 so can't for the life of me imagine it being any less solid starter gun than my others. If your unsure get a raider though I think long raider is a tad long...

    and the M4 upper reciever is off once again after a jam! okay lads; reattaching the hopup this time without fuckups, my only issue is reattaching the dust cover as the dust cover release wernt engaging. what am i missing?

    Actually i take it back xD it's now jammed somewhere inside so the charge angle wont move, nor will the reciever.....

    Keep nudging it, it'll give way.

    RabidNinja64
    okay well update: got it all the way off, cleaned the inner barrel, checked the hop rubber (fine) and the gearbox has strong compression. dust cover was being a pain in the ass; kept slipping out of place each time i tried putting it on and jammed up against the gearbox. Sadly now the cover release isnt working and the receiver is now jammed once again, with the battery connection hanging out the magwell xD
