Yup, home made mosfet. I have one i made up a while ago that i use for testing gearboxes after ive fiddled. They get REALLY warm!!

Minor update as its been a busy few weeks in the Egon household.... Got the gearbox in, lines up lovely. Only issue now is that the stock tube only screws in 2-3 turns before it hits the back of the box, so got a bit more fettling to do. The top of the gearbox needs shaving down so that the...

My kids bought me the "kombat tactical" wallet for my birthday a few years ago, you know, got the chain and the carabina on it? Only i put my vape batteries in the same pocket one day, (3.7v 20A 18650x2!!!) and managed to get a connection across one of them. Which turned the chain into a...

Arepol....Lol... Yeah. Judicial use of the hacksaw and it's in. The holes even line up. 😁 Need to make a spacer for the back of the gearbox as I effectively cut off a screw hole though.

Ive bought a nuprol gearbox (one extreme to the other!) and i'm going to modify it to fit in the lower, it might work. it might not. I simply dont know at this point. :D

So it would appear that the area gearbox is a different shape to a standard V2 (no surprise there really!) and a normal V2 has to be modified to actually fit inside the receiver. The part below the spring guide needs er, "remodeling" to fit and a stand off fitted because the bit you have to cut...

Nuprol gearbox .....hmmmm

Wonder if a normal v2 will fit. The trigger turned out to have a crack and sheared off. Oh dear. Game over for the ares gearbox.

Yeah, thats the one. I'm missing the "extension" piece but i imagine it would need a ridiculous barrel at that point! :D

I bought a boneyard tm Aug and it turned out to have a weird suppressed front end on it. For a dinky gun, you can almost use it as a melee!! 🤣

Although every image of the ares ar021 I can find it's this stumpy little thing. Not this honking great lump I have laid out on the bench. I guess the suppressor is nearly a foot long. Weird what some people do to their rifs, isn't it? Ah well. I'll put the gearbox back together tomorrow at...

In fairness, it was in a bundle of stuff i bought in a job lot kinda thing. If i'd known it was ares, id have left it there..... :D

Ah. Might as well carry on with it as I have it in component form on the bench. 😁 So ares in their ultimate wisdom used a micro switch for the trigger. Seems fair I suppose but one that's rated at 15A AC. Now a few years ago I did some electronics stuff and came across 3 phase braked motors...

A while ago I picked up some stuff from a "retiring" player and as it turns out, most of it was pretty much fubar. Included in this was an Ares 021 M4. I finally get around to sitting at my bench and having a good look at the stuff and testing it. Now I know I should have tested it beforehand...
