DanBow Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Going into Wrexham today so will pick up an M100 or M90/95 spring for my G&G, from the new shop. So, first time taking apart a gearbox in preparation. 😳 Im reasonably technically competent but old eyes and fat fingers might get in the way!

EDcase Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Luckily there are plenty of videos showing what to do. May as well try a re-shim while you've got it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lord_Poncho Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 A bit of grease in the cylinder too whilst you have it apart! The anti reversal latch is a right pain, and to a slightly lesser extent, the trigger (at least for me). Both will frequently pop out when you try to put the two halves of the shell back together.

EDcase Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Yes, they do usually come with some shims from factory but quite often just a basic level which can usually be improved. DanBow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another skill I'm going to have to do to a half decent standard! lol Welcome to self teching! Clean out all the shit grease that came in it from the factory and relube it with some half decent stuff. Not loads either. Shimming from the factory will be the absolute bare minimum. Do it properly and it'll run smoother, be quieter and last longer.

Sewdhull Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 You should get a couple of clips for the trigger and ARL. Makes a significant positive difference to putting the gearbox back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
