What happens when you shoot with no magazine inserted? Also, did you replace the hopup spacer yet?
I meant it doesnt shoot BB's. And I did. put a new bucking and spacer

Yes, but how does the gearbox sound with no magazine? Does the air nozzle look like its the proper distance away from the hop? Are the magazines feeding properly?
Ahh that seems to be the problem. The hop unit is too far away from the nozzle so it doesnt get a seal and the bb doesnt shoot. unfortunately the entire inner barrel/ hop unit is loose, and I dont know hot to tighten it. also it seems the nozzle isnt moving back enough to where if the hop was in the right spot it would chamber the bb

I'd assume one of two things:
1. Its the Classic Army body keeping the gearbox too far back.
and/or
2. The hopup is probably too far forward. Normally you put it in on the side, and when you twist it upright, it should spring backwards towards the magazine chamber. If you still have your old hopup from your old G36, play around with that and see how that compares.
I changed bodies and it still looks the same in the chamber. The hopup is about a cm away from the nozzle, but the nozzle doesnt move back when I fire. could it be something with the tappet plate?

I dont have the hopup from the old g36. that was the first thing that broke

I'd pop the whole gearbox out of the body, if you can't push the nozzle back cleanly there's a problem. Either the nozzle is somehow locked back, or locked forward. Does the gearbox look like its seated properly?
is the hopup supposed to have a spring or something to push it back? because it doesnt

yes, basically every gun has that in some form

Yeah, its supposed to fit in front of the hop-up around the barrel, like this:

I thought I had it in there, but I'll check in my parts bins for it.
yup, that isnt there and that might be the problem.
[editline]11th December 2012[/editline]
maybe it came off when you checked the hopup and you just forgot to put it back on

It is nowhere in my parts box, which I feared. However, I did get lucky and find something that includes it: [url]http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/shs-reinforced-hop-up-chamber-set-for-g36-g36c-aeg.html[/url]
Unfortunately since its international its $19 shipping :I
They also have it on clandestine for the same price, but its sold out for now.

Ahh found it on some unheard of place in stock:

oh well. guess I cant run my Field PMC loadout this weekend
Maybe you can find a spring similar to it in a hardware store nearby. I believe it's just a standard spring, mine was.
I jury rigged a spring from the main spring of my old g36im going to put my gun back together and see if it works

Why are you so unhelpful and rude?
[QUOTE=CritNick;38793528]Why are you so unhelpful and rude?[/QUOTE]
Because he's unwanted and knows it, but refuses to leave.
well
it shoots, but the hopup isnt working at all and despite a new bucking and spacer. I think I'm just goingt to have to buy a new unit
[editline]11th December 2012[/editline]
so for now I have a good looking, non functional G36
[editline]11th December 2012[/editline]
the whole hop unit just broke

Anyone got stories about the AirsoftGI Mystery Boxes? They make it sound like it's a pretty good deal.
[QUOTE=TerrorShield;38795240]Anyone got stories about the AirsoftGI Mystery Boxes? They make it sound like it's a pretty good deal.[/QUOTE]
They're almost always not worth it. 70%-80% of the guns are the pieces of junk that they always try to advertise, and never work well. Odds of success are always like 10% or less.
it's essentially gambling, and you never come off better through gambling
not sure if someone posted this elsewhere but:

evidently these are not rebrands...
same with the new SOG68
we found out about this a few months back when shotshow was happening
i really REALLY REALLY doubt that they're rebrands
oh also, new GI mystery box is like this
120/210 chance you get a JG or galaxy mp5 + "tactical vest" (crossdraw)
No full-length. :(
Not rebrands my ass
