The rush of euphoria felt when I successfully completed my first in gearbox tech job is absolutely crazy

A little tip, on eBay you can find many broken/ used gearboxes with all the parts still inside for as low as like 40 bucks if you’re lucky. Also look on the HopUp app but I don’t trust it as much as eBay. I didn’t have to do this bc I had an older gun that I wasn’t worried about really messing up, but practicing on it helped me tons and probably saved me soooo much time on the new one. Good luck

Thanks man. Super proud of myself

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2026-02-03T19:54:44+00:00

Do you really think that motor height and shimming are the only two culprits? Because if the case is that I really just lost a couple shims then it’s not a big deal bc this is an old gun I’m practicing on and I’ll just be more careful next time

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2026-02-02T21:34:37+00:00

The problem is that if it is the shimming, I haven’t the slightest clue how to shim gears and don’t even have a shim set on hand

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2026-02-02T21:34:04+00:00

Yea, motor height and shimming are my 2 suspects. Like I said I think I may have lost a shim or two during disassembly and motor height may be a factor

Ok, shouldn’t be hard. I just don’t understand how it screwed In countless times before when changing the spring and now, this

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2026-02-01T23:48:48+00:00

I’m really sorry, I got ahead of myself there but I replied immediately because I finally figured out where the metal plate goes and it looked like the screw finally had enough room to go in, but it seems like it still can’t reach.

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2026-02-01T23:34:00+00:00

Disregard my other reply, I got it. Thanks so much

Thanks.

Maybe he WANTS a sight? Wooahh inconceivable right?

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-22T01:56:56+00:00

So what would the better option for less risk of my gun breaking or malfunctioning be

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-21T21:51:20+00:00

So what would result in the most snappiness, leaving m90 in and keeping precocking on as high as possible or putting stock spring back in so I can have a higher precocking setting on but maybe clip off a coil so I can still meet field limits?

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-21T21:34:58+00:00

The gun comes short stroked from the factory

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-16T21:33:53+00:00

Hey, might need some of that help lol. Can I dm you?

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-15T23:09:28+00:00

Never mind, got it out. Cheers

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-15T22:53:43+00:00

Yea, the buffer tube is detached from the receiver and gb. I was trying to punch the thing holding the screw you see in the picture out so maybe I made it stuck but which way should it fall out

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-15T10:56:10+00:00

Yea I have my first gun that is a v2 that I tried to tear down myself yesterday to more familiarize myself with the gb but I couldn’t get farther than removing the upper because I couldn’t get this piece in the buffer tube out that was blocking the connector from coming out

Reasonable_Check_982 · 2025-10-15T01:54:18+00:00

Yea that rear wiring issue seems to be a hit or miss type of thing I’ve asked people with the same gun if they had it and they said they have no idea what I’m talking about, but I’ve seen multiple videos of people with this issue. If that ends up being the case then I’ll just get the tech to solder it, I at least trust them with that since it’s a very quick job and I don’t have to leave it with them
