    Re-Assembly of a CA M14 Gearbox

    Yeah, might have to look at getting a V7 gear set. Will do a comparison with the old gears and the new ones. This M14 is becoming more and more of a pain! better be awesome once I have finished all the upgrades.

    Re-Assembly of a CA M14 Gearbox

    Aah, I have got a set of "Super Shooter 32:1" high torque gears. Are standard gear sets not compatible? Do I need to get M14 specific ones, or just V7 specific? My understanding was that the gearbox is a bit of a mix and match between V2, V3 and V7 parts. Unfortunately I was not aware that the...

    Re-Assembly of a CA M14 Gearbox

    Hi, Thanks, yeah believe I have watched the video. Unfortunately it does not really help with my issue about the piston teeth pushing down on the gear teeth and putting it at an angle, making it impossible to re-assemble. Has anyone else had this issue with any other gearbox re-builds? Am I...

    Re-Assembly of a CA M14 Gearbox

    OK, So I picked up a Classic Army M14 a while back and have decided to DMR it. Stripping the gearbox down to uprate the gears and shim them as well for optimised performance. Took this time to also upgrade the piston, cylinder and spring. Now that its all in, I am trying to re-assemble the...

    Gearbox Re-Assembly...Gear allignment

    Thanks. Will do a search and watch some clips. Guess when the teeth are aligned, the piston will be pushed all the way in, so spring has least amount of compression when re-assembling. Unfortunately just found out the part I have being machined wont be ready today, so no re-assembly just yet.

    Gearbox Re-Assembly...Gear allignment

    I hope to get the final pieces to do my gearbox upgrade today and wanted to check a few points before I start putting it all back together. Do I need to align a certain part of the gear with the piston, or can any part of the gear line up with any part of the piston upon re-assembly? EG...

    Classic Army M14 Mosfet install?

    Got all the parts except motor ordered. Still trying to source a good one that's not too expensive. Let just hope I got the correct revision of everything. Proper mix n match with this thing!

    Classic Army M14 Mosfet install?

    Thanks, Just putting together all the info for buying upgrade parts. Anyone know what style motor is used? Short? Long? Also whats the consensus on using Madbull Black TBB? Or worth spending more for a Prometheus TBB? 509 required.

    Classic Army M14 Mosfet install?

    Thanks. Gearbox surrounding parts are slightly different, but a good enough guide. Cant find the thread now, but sure someone said to upgrade the tappet plate. But from the video it seems only G&G tappet plate will fit, so no steel upgrade available?

    Classic Army M14 Mosfet install?

    Thanks. That would be amazing. Was enough of a pain removing the stock. Quite a bit of force required. Currently sat with a completely stripped down M14 and contemplating putting back together as stock, or upgrading a few key parts. Will probably do high torque gears if I open the gearbox...

    Classic Army M14 Mosfet install?

    I have a firestorm unit. Believe its about as small as they generally come. I am happy to open the gearbox to install, but with what seems a lot of small screws etc, a guide would be helpful. Failing that, which way round is best to open the gearbox? Front end facing left or right? Don't want...

    Classic Army M14 Mosfet install?

    Thanks. Seen some people fit the MOSFET inside the gearbox. Would be better if I could do that, just thought it best if there was a guide about on opening gearbox and wiring MOSFET in there.

    Classic Army M14 Mosfet install?

    Anyone have any guides (Pictures) or video of best way to install MOSFET into a classic army or G&G M14? I can only find instructions for CYMA. Thanks

    Classic Army vs CYMA M14's

    So, I recently bought a used but A1 condition Classic Army M14. My question is, are they any better than the CYMA equivalent? Reason is I am wondering if its worth selling it and buying a CYMA instead due to the difficulty and expense of magazines. The parts for CYMA based models also seem to...

    What does your partner think of you playing airsoft?

    As with a few others, the wife does not like guns or any form of weapon. Unlucky for her, I like all forms of weapons. She also thinks its geeky and I have managed to get her to shoot a few rounds in the garden, but that's as far as she will go. Being fairly new to it all, my collection is...

    MOSFET....Which brand

    Thanks for the advice. Ordered the Firestorm MOSFET. Free postage was also a nice little bonus when most UK airsoft sites seem to charge £5+ for even small items such as hop rubbers. +1 to Firestorm!

    MOSFET....Which brand

    Looking to get a mosfet to install in my newly acquired CA M14. Having very little experience with MOSFET, but handy enough with a soldier iron and wiring. Wondering what the going recommendations are when it comes to brand and types? Having had a quick look around, I found GATEE MOSFET's in...

    Classic Army M14 Low Power issue!

    Hi, So I received my CA M14 Match that I recently bought from a forum member. Rifle looks good as new with little to no marks on it, so don't expect it has been used much in its previous life. Getting it ready, I fitted some Deans connectors and plugged my battery in to shoot a few rounds and...
