  1. Regarding airsoftbuddy... Don't know what is going on but they have taken good care of my order. Last Saturday, a friend asked me to help out at a big event this weekend; but I had no mags for my WE M4 (He's borrowing most of the mags that I had). I ordered 12 mags from airsoftbuddy Saturday night. As part of paypal, I mentioned that I really need these mags by this weekend, and to please send them ASAP. Based on past history with Speedpost and other airsoft shops (AirsoftGlobal, etc), I know that if the item wasn't shipped Monday, I wouldn't get it in time. I didn't recieve any
  2. Kojak, I don't think the new lever would work... at least on my Gen1. The play is in the lower reciever well where the bolt catch lever installs. I tried swapping my Gen3 lever with the Gen1 and it also had quite a bit of forward/backward play. Exopy might work though, never tried this approach. I also think just bending will snap it. It appears to be made of rigid steel, and I too was afraid it crack/breaking before it would bend. The key is heating it up first till it is red hot to soften the metal.

What did fix my bolt lock problems was to pull out the bolt release lever... put it on a vise... and heat it up with a propane torch until it glowed a dull red. Then with a pair of pliers, I bent downward the lever portion that contacts the bolt catch plate on the mag. After dropping
  4. A GBB Rifle is not an AEG that you can "leave the hell alone". GBB rifles require regular maintenance, much like a real steel rifle. And parts will break with usage - just like a real steel rifle. Luckily, as with a real steel rifle, your GBB is designed for easy field maintenance. So you'll have to get used to cracking open that thing sooner or later, so you can lubricate and/or clean off the dust/dirt/etc. But don't be afraid, it's not an AEG with a gearbox, screws, and hex bolts. This GBB rifle is a breeze to take apart. To remove your bolt and look at the nozzle, make sure the ma
