the wood is a bit crap tho.

the other polish site(forgot its name) had a deal on e&l ak's for £200

Gunfire.pl, another good site, seem to take a lot longer than TG to deliver though

A friend got a full metal one TWG, solid bit of kit for £140.

I picked up the cheap one for kicks (the CM.520). Dont go too cheap on them haha

So it looks a good 'un like I said

Still not sure about front end but it is deffo different to G&G's

Well i hate going against everyone elses opinion for G&G (Not really) but if its something that will function properly, wont break down on me in the first 2 weeks and is easy to maintain and change parts should they need it, then PJ4 will be the first rifle i've actually bought for myself, aside from the VFC mp7 and the PX4 You've all been a good help and a laugh, so should i need help or guidance, your all first to be pestered! xD

bollox - if its not a G&G then you are on ya own sunshine

just kidding

oh they'd go weak at the knee's you go all Mr grey on their arses..but you try speak in klingon they'll ditch you faster than a bad burrito

i guess the only solution is to become a rich pervert first and then spank them with your bat'leth?

@Colonel Good point well presented old chap.

Haha WHYYYYYYYYYYYY

(coming from someone who's used full auto maybe 3 times in the last year)

@AshOnSnow because you can only hear piston hitting cylinder head and not so much of the gears whiny noise, i always shim my guns to best of my ability, even my KWA RM4 recoil gun is shimmed perfectly only hear piston hitting the cylinder head and ofc the recoil shock.

nevermind; saved their number just in case this time

Can you ask them where my pouches are?

aha ill see what i can do xD

"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.

Mixed up you with the OP, sorry.

Cheers guys ordering a gun though, really is gonna sting with the added tax I think.

I didn't get hit with tax because they stated it has less value than it does, and they put it as gift. Not sure if they'll do the same with a RIF, but I was supposed to get taxed due to the real price.

Personally for £30-£40 you probably looking at cheap one from china that might be hotter m120+ and say 7mm bushings, plus chance of customs import tax and waiting n waiting for china post - JG, DBoys, Cyma etc...

Or this APS one

Well the APS one you recommended is a good starting point & if you say its good ill take your word aha

http://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/gearboxes-complete

I believe they should be coming in fairly soon, may be worth dropping them a PM on here to double check.

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......

I was hoping that wernt the case with the trigger contacts haha; and Kurtz yeah it's still shooting normally now. messing around with it last night i kinda sorted it with pulling the trigger alot so it settles in with the selector plate (??). The only issue now is that when i switch from semi to auto it doesnt stop firing.

Saying that, we (me and my bro) only noticed all this when we tried switching it to deans last night. The wiring is also silver plated so could it be somethi...

*Could it be something with the resistance or the battery? id be using a 7.4 lipo btw.

This kinda thing happening only after battery/lead swap suggests arcing perhaps?

^ oh right, nice one. Hadn't heard anything for like two years

For a modern company with access to CAD systems, rapid prototyping etc they take a fairly long time to get products into the market

No one has actually seen anything other than some shady pictures but they are no longer magpul esque, there is doubt whether they will have any trades on at all until they are seen in the flesh, certainly no magpul/PTS parts on them anymore

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.

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...

Well i can say i've been won over :3

not at all fella, youc an get most things there http://www.taiwangun.com/en/complet-mecha-box-set

Crack open a random gearbox and just inspect how it all works

You break something then you fix it.

Pretty simple really.

If you can push £30 more, I'd recommend a semapo 6094, real multicam, all that good stuff and with more molle real estate than you could ever wish for

Take a look at the Condor or Flyye ranges on Military 1st.

Some interesting vests, especially the WAS product line & Semapo. Condor look decent, but Flyye seem a little too out of my price range with their Military1st products. Appreciate the help!

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 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.

FireHawk HC05 DSG and it ain't as great as we are lead to think

Plus a broken R85/cheapo L85 for parts or fixing

Odd i was thinking of picking up one of those myself; whats it like? and at least its not a VFC MP7: Thing will break down on you in a heartbeat.

atm I still think the rare initial high spec batch of FH's were best. A very loud bitch of a gun, turns heads and a fun gun to own. I'd see if any s/hand FH's come up for sale now the DSG is being released.

Thats comforting info lozart nice one. And hef, just means its another hot spring for you to sell then

I have the 330 spring form the CM16 I stripped for the P*. So I'll either rebuilt the CM16 or sell on the Gearbox with both springs.

Whichever gets you more moolah in the long run, preferably. Id build the cm16 with whatever bits left over and sell that

strange, my WE Glocks hop is sh*t too.

probably something you've already done, but I stripped my hop unit out, de greased everything and put it all back together ensuring everything was tight. I had a 1911 which had no lift, turns out the hop lever had slipped of the hop wheel so wasn't actually applying any pressure.

My WE G17 can hit a coke can at around 15-20 meters, which I think is pretty good. It's a US G17, but I doubt that would change anything.

Lozart, you are a saint!

You will have to add postage but it's still cheaper

Free postage for mainlanders; haha!

Keep nudging it, it'll give way.

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

had my hands on one of their L96's not too long ago. wayy too much plastic and not alot of detail so kinda pushed me away. They actually any good?

Dunno to be honest, but a lot of snipers use them, as there is a lot of upgrade parts available.

My self I have a TM l96

Those BB gun Rifles are usually AGM L96s,or DE ones. Avoid 100%,can't do anything with them

Takes alot of my mind haha Whats the courier service like? feel like im gonna miss it when it comes xD

Ups, they're ok. They'll usually leave it with a neighbour

Sweet my only worry now is if the info in the comments section went through with my downgrade and ukara im a worrier like that!

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!

**few weeks ago

Not a very bright spark

well yeah quite a big loud spark,

somehow the cutter's I was using seemed to touch the end of connector I was cutting shorter....

F*ck me I $hat myself and the wire cutters looked like arc welding spots on them

packs a punch them lipo mofo's

That's what makes them so fun xD

if its new take it back

feeding could be hop but the grinding makes me think tappet not moving 101% correctly to load bb's

grinding could be tappet plate borked/stuck - still getting compression so sector is pulling piston ok atm

Nah its about a few months bought from a friend second hand. somet was gonna come along and eff up eventually. so you reckon its not fully gearbox internal based? ill have to take it down to JD and have em look it over.

Probably best, sounds like tappet plate but I'm still guessing coz not got it here to see/hear for myself
