Oh well, at least there's more tinkering ahead once I replace that lever. I'm creating a demand for more posts right here! A gift that keeps on giving, as it were.

Had I been smart (yeah), I could have taken a magnet to the piece to figure out if it's steel and as such bendable, but that's all a bit late now. I'll keep that in mind for the next time a bend lust washes over me.
Good thing there's still a mag release button on the right hand side, so the gun is still usable. I'll get back to this once I find a replacement part.
...lol.ohman.
ReplyDeleteI make the mistakes so you don't have to ;)
Deletejust found this blog myself, and actually started airsoft the same time as you did in september, i always wanted to do exactly what youve done here to document your journey through airsoft, maybe ill start soon now. i have also been dying to get started learning to work on guns, like youve done changing the motor & air nozzles etc. im loving this Post and am Definitely Going to check back here regular for progress :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the readership! It's always nice to know someone is enjoying what I do. If you ever do start documenting your stuff publicly, be sure to let me know and I'll check it out for sure :)
DeleteThe first time I opened a gearbox, I was a bit worried if I'll ever get it back together again (and I have indeed had some problems with the AUG as you can see in the relevant posts), but it was also really rewarding to see that yes, it is indeed possible. And you learn all the time as you go along. Start with something relatively easy and cheap, so if things end up going wrong, you can simply do it again until you get it right, and aren't completely out of money by the end of it.
ill be sure to let you know once i do start posting myself :) ive decided to buy a cheap but fairly new gun like a JG Mp5a4 and have a go at upgrading and tinkering with it :)
