Quick Questions & Simple Answers.

Is there any difference between a Gen 2 and a Gen 3 gearbox as i've been told a gen 3 is easier to maintain. (size to fit gen 2 space within gun)?

 
On iPad, sorry, no working colour :(

So wife watching supergirl and I had a quick search as I liked the Colt Model 933 they used on recent episode....

If iPad let's link work...

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Colt_m933_03.jpg

Any idea if this is available in a format all ready at a shop or easy to customise from something?

Can get some bits but is there an ICS base to use?,

Sorry struggling to get time on here at moment so will monitor email alerts!!

Cheers guys, love always!!! :)

That looks like a s system with a cqb barrel. I thought in supergirl they was just standard cqb m4 with a riz rail

Gen 2 or 3 like in SRC gearbox revisions ??

Gen 1 - $hite 6mm green plastic bushings

Gen 2 - think they had metal bushings

Gen 3 - 8mm bearings

Or do you mean gearbox types v2 or v3 ?

V3 's are easier to work and test with motor due to motor frame/cage not needing pistol grip assembled

Plus all wiring is external for easy MOSFET wiring without opening box like on v2

Some v3's don't use motor frame + usual short motor like on AK & G36's

MP5k & SIG use v3 and long motor with adapter

Soz for long answer in case I was unsure

Sig uses medium motor without full motor cage. Its not a standard v3 case either its got a few differences but standard v3 internals.
 
Oops stand corrected, knew it wasn't a shorty in a cage

But a guidey thingy majig adapter dooberry

Silly me assuming it must be long mofo motor like on mp5k - my bad

Would of been better if it was a long type. Medium length are not as common. To be honest thats probably why you dont see Sigs very often, most of the parts are proprietary so upgrading and repairing is a pain because of lack of aftermarket support.

Stark arms, WE and TM glock mags are the same right?
Click to expand...
They're roughly similar, but with slightly different tolerances & performance.

(WE and TM at least, can't speak for Stark)

WE fit & work in a TM, and give it a lot harder kick. CO2; I'd be worried about damaging the pistol.

TM mags fit in a WE, but don't seem to have the 'oomph' to cycle the slide reliably.

This is going off my pair, one TM one WE with two of each brand of mags; bought second hand & TM mags 'upgraded' with Nineball routers (Possibly worse than stock tbh, but don't have originals to compare).

 
I have (half) a can of 134a that's been stored away for approx 5yrs, after I stopped playing.

Looking to get back into it and need to test-and-repair all the old kit.

Is the old gas still safe to use? Or is it a no-go due to the age?

Cheers :-)

 
It'll be fine. Shake well to make sure the lube is dispersed though.

 
Thanks Pro ?

No telling what state the mags will be in though ;-)

Can I attach this to the vltor style sight to keep my riz rail on?
Click to expand...
This question seems unintelligible to me. That is a VLTOR style sight, which attaches to a barrel to provide a flip up front iron sight and also allow the addition of a laser or torch because it has a short rail. So "keep my riz rail on" doesn't seem to make sense. Just for clarification, an RIS rail is integrated into the handguard, whereas an RAS system also has rails extending onto/above the receiver.

Not as well as mesh with interwoven wires, but they are usable, especially if you are using a torch.

Yes, providing you're using a standard 2-piece RIS that's held in place by the delta ring and end-cap you can replace the standard A-sight with that VLTOR gas block and it should work.

I'll caveat that though by saying that there's no 'standard' when it comes to airsoft, if your gun has a front sight assembly that's off spec, or barrel pin grooves that are off spec then it may not work at all.

Only way to find out is to try.

Nice one dude thank you

 
think I've asked this before but what are people using to clean their inner barrels? because I have never known for sure and am intending to get around to doing proper clean of my guns this week. I know should be some kind of lint free cloth but is there anything specific or anything else I should know...to me using cig filters seems like a better method
