How good is my gun build?

[kerby91]

Ouch mate, sounds bad! I had a guy try to rip me off over a "lonex m4", it never arrived but I eventually got my money back. He sounds like a twat tbh, id go round there and "persuade" him to take the m4 back and give you the saw!

I can tell your going to be my favourite moderator! xD

Still, £90 posted doesnt sound too bad, but the gun is quite practically in bits. And despite the guy screwing me over, i opened up the gearbox in an attempt to fix it. after telling him, he said, and i quote "If you think your going to give me back my m4 YOU broke, even after opening a £160 gearbox, im well within my rights to refuse."

Im still pretty pissed about this douche taking the high ground and not owning up to it. Granted it's my own fault on a number of areas:

Didnt check to see the gun actually fired; granted it dry fired, but isn't enough proof.

It was a swap in the middle of the night...-.-

But in fairness, i dont see much of a hard issue, considering all i need is a new piston/set of piston teeth and possibly a new hopup system. My brother is thinking of getting one of those cheap £30 gearboxes online n swapping over parts from the Lonex, but im not sure if it's worth the trade off if the piston parts are cheaper to replace. Then again, i know next to nothing about AEG's or gearboxes (though I am learning pretty quickly)

Either way, Everyone who reads the thread has the mofo's name; so don't be surprised if you see him tryna hock off a "Custom M249"

You can get a lonex piston and piston head for about £22 and a new hop rubber for a fiver so pretty cheap to fix if thats all thats wrong. Ask the guy you got it from to pay for parts, he sold it faulty and lied about what its worth so it would be the decent thing for him to do.

In honesty, I'm not gonna bother with the guy; he's fucked me over once and i aint making the same mistake again on asking him to pay for parts as he'll try n dump all that shit on me because his saving grace is "you opened the gearbox." yet he ripped the warranty stickers off to begin with....flipping idiot -.-

All i wanted was a simple SAW to M4 swap. not as simple as i thought but it'll be fun to learn how to upgrade a gearbox, and to hopefully show off what someone with ACTUAL technical experience can do; he'll be begging to take it back!

If airsoft guns were cars I'd consider a 'custom M4' like buying a 1 litre hatchback some teenager put a Halfords exhaust kit on and fuked around with to try make it more fast and furious...

I'm a sceptic and would consider such a gun likely to be another M4 that aint quite right, and after lots of loving tinkering/ill-balanced upgrades the person is giving up and using a gun that works properly instead. Or perhaps a repaired franken-gun someone is getting a quick buck off. Either-way not for me!

There's always that pride and joy someone's having to sell at huge loss to keep the bailiffs away, but that's a rare one and i'd never buy a airsoft gun with significant modifications/upgrades otherwise, probably anything done to the gearbox would stop me buying.

I agree get the M249 back. If you have to sell the M249, do it for cash and buy a half decent M4.
