Cheers lads. That’s gonna be the plan now I think

Evening all,
so some time ago I brought a v2 Titan ready gear box and a titan advanced from Gate. Initially this was going to go in a ICS rifle until I learnt lesson number one the hard way and found out that they have a split gearbox.
Nevwr mind I thought. I then decided to put it in my cyma mp5k. Lesson two - I discover that it has a v3 gearbox.
Would the v2 still fit in the mp5k or am I just as well to stick it in the nuprol m4 that I picked up as my first ever gun? -

Short answer - yeah, you screwed up.
ICS receivers are proprietary and designed exclusively for their split gearboxes. I wouldn't even try - find another gun as your base.
Ah shoot. Luckily I have a reserve thank god

Guys - I need help deciding if I screwed up. I’ve brought a gate eon gearbox to stick in the shell of an old ICS CXP MMR. Now I didn’t realise but they run a split gear box thing. Does that mean if I’m replacing the whole gearbox etc the one I’ve gotten(v2) won’t then fit. I’m not keeping any old parts from the gear box. I’m also fitting a Titan. It’s not a drama if not as I can fit on another weapon but I’m hoping I can still use it on this

Could be gas or HPA sniper rifles. Bolt pull is short and effortless on gas and HPA builds, as there's no spring you need to pull back and all you're doing is pulling back to load another BB in. It's part of the reason I love them so much; if movement is what gives you away, I want to be moving as little as possible
Sweet thanks buddy

Evening everyone
I’ve seen some videos of sniper rifle users with what looks to be a quick action bolt reload. Is this something that’s an actual upgrade. I’ve got a Cyma .702 sniper and I want to upgrade it if possible

Premature engagement
Basically the piston isn't fully forwards when the sector gear tries to pick it up, teeth are badly aligned and something ends up breaking.
Most common cause is when folk are building a gun thats running too fast for its power, but as @Skara says can also occurr when something like a bb jam is restricting forward motion of the piston.
its one of the arguments for plastic tooth pistons, the teeth are an intentional point of failure where a metal rack might push the failure onto the gears.
I noticed the AOE was not right based on some videos I’ve seen tbf

That piston says PME all over the place. There could be too much friction inside the cylinder or the piston guides due to no lubrication, or the spring is so soft it can't push the piston forward fast enough.
Or, the easiest option, someone got a jam and kept firing.
Cylinder head requires a tiny amount of lube around the sealing o-ring(s), I use silicone grease (just a dab) for that.
To remove old grease/oil just wipe the thing with a cloth/paper towel.
PME ?

Sry for being nitpicky
original picture is also low quality so it makes it harder to detect, but:
yellow: what the tooth should look like
blue: what the tooth is actually like
Good info thanks

I’ve used a 60 degree ML macron in three different hops and they fit first time no problem. The nub is needed and can be slightly fiddly but an essential

grease on the piston, and the o ring should be loose on the piston, it seals against the back face of the groove when firing then moves forward allowing air through when being drawn back.
There is space around the piston and cylinder body but that looks normal I guess ? Do you put any grease on the cylinder head ?
what’s best to use to get rid of the old grease?

Ah yes, just seen he's closed until the 9th.
In that case, Outdoor and Tactical is another decent option for internals.
Thanks 👍

could be it's bedding itself in, the sector gear carving it's own idea of aoe, hard to tell from the pics with the way the lighting is.
but mostly that doesn't look too bad (apart from being dry, idk if you cleaned it before taking those pics)
Do you use silicon oil or grease on the piston ? Also the O ring should it be loose ?

how do you mean bending down and locking up?
I was hoping I had some videos or pictures to show what I mean but sadly not. Three of the teeth are a bit chewed up. The whole gear box wasn’t lubed up great inside in all fairness but I’ve seen worse

For sure. It wasn’t in great condition

Why do you need 16 teeth? Usually it is necessary to cut the teeth and reduce it. Are you not a standard gearbox?
These are what was in there but the piston was bending down and locking up. Brought the gun second hand. King Arms Dinosaur but the gb didn’t look like the diagram 🤔

Hi folks.
can someone please tell me if this is a v3 gear box and if so can any piston and tappet plate go in it please? -
Evening
so I need to replace a piston as it’s moved to the afterlife. I read I need to count the teeth to make sure the sector gear and piston have the same number of teeth. I’m counting 16 teeth but I can’t find a 16 tooth piston. Am I counting right ? Or have I missed something 🤦♂️🤔

0.25g bbs
up to probably 30m visible going right and left under low wind conditions. I’m testing this weekend as I’ve cleaned it up and checked the bucking I think I may have nailed it

Thanks folks. No not added anything to this one yet. Luckily I’ve got a maple leaf hop rubber so if it’s that I can swap it out. Thanks again !

Evening folks
im looking for guidance on the best option for adding a mosfet or etu onto my mp5. I’m not sure where to look but it’s something I’m keen to do so I’m looking for advice on best options.
-
Hi - I don’t know if I’ve used the terminology right but my M18 is sending bbs all over the shop and I’ve tried tweaking the hop but it hasn’t really made any difference. What should I be looking for if I open her up? Also if I do dismantle it will it cause any agro with the mosfet as I’ve heard some horror stories so a bit nervous but wanna give it a go so any advice would be appreciated
