TM Hi-cap for the Well R-4 came today. postman decided to put in the cellar , after saying "I put it in the shed". Bastard. Seems to work alright, have to push the mag up when pressing the mag release otherwise it feels like i'm going to break the lever off.
I opened my gearbox today and found no stripped gears or a broken piston. Just a ton of sand and shit. Which came from my putting my gun down once in the middle of the game to get my bottle of BBs. I'm happy this will be an easy fix because I can just clean the gearbox out and redo the shims and it'll be in great condition for selling. Though if it fucks up again, I'm quitting airsoft until I have a job so I can buy a better gun. The new gun I'm looking at if the dbosy doesn't fuck up and i can sell it is the Cyma 105 with triangle stock, the CM040b, because I'll never have the money to buy VFC or LCT. At least I learn to tech. :suicide: [editline]8th February 2012[/editline] Fuck I don't even know if I want another AK. I just don't wanna have to buy new mags and shit too. I need to think about this.
just replace what's broke, and only upgrade what you need to. Dont fix what isnt broke :3
I know, just cleaning out the sand. It'd be so much easier if I had duster gas but I can't find a can anywhere in my house.
How did your gearbox get enough sand in it to jam it up? Unless your dust cover fell off and it got physically buried in sand, i can't think of a way that any could manage to get in there.
The cylinder has a port in it and I guess I picked it up in such a way that it scooped sand all over the internals. The piston was sideways in the cylinder too, and since I'm not as stupid as my friend who actually did that on purpose then blamed it on his spring, I'm sure I didn't put it in there like that.

The piston shouldnt be able to end up sideways unless it's missing the rails... chances are it popped up like that when you opened the gearbox.
That might have been it too but I don't know how else the gears would have been able to spin freely inside the gun.
after you clean it up (i'd just throw all the parts in the sink with some mild detergent) check and see if the piston cant come off the rails somehow. It could be the piston is too short and can slide off into the cylinder.
Mild detergent, like laundry detergent?
dish soap a strong detergent would be like brake cleaner
Okay. You've been a life saver with this trainwreck I call my gearbox :v: I'm gonna run and grab some duster gas from my grandparents to clean out the trigger mech because I'm not taking that apart again ever

I like my job, 80 bucks for a day of Ski Instructing (just work saturdays during the school year) isn't too shabby, then working 12 hours a day, 5 days a week in the summer is fun too. loadsemoney [editline]8th February 2012[/editline] And no bills to pay other than cell phone bill ($25 a month fuck yeah) and soon car insurance/buying car so i'm saving like fuck while I can.
fuck, ASGI doesn't stock the SRC T91.
