millest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 cheers Ceriph just what i was looking for, my silencers a similar length and the sound hogs about 7 cm long so it should work for both certainly would sound good in the bunker cheers millest Link to post Share on other sites
Ceriph Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sounds good man, I think i might try and get myself a sounds hog as well I think id love the metal TANG noise echoing in a old building. Now I'm all pumped ... *goes to get VISA* Anyway, I'm glad i could help. I hope it all works out well Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 It is pretty much a perfect match to the CA's color and texture. Â Â I have this handguard set as well. It's on par with the STAR surface texture and feel, and seems very sturdy. The rails are heavy strong metal and so far the paint seems pretty chip-proof. If I had one complaint with it, it would be that the hardpoints for the screws have threaded inserts that can be pulled out if you tighten the screws too hard. Just don't over-tighten the rails and it's a great piece of kit. Link to post Share on other sites
Plankton Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Cool thanks guys. Â So I received my classic army g36 last night in the post, slapped the battery in my (smart) charger and this afternoon got back from work to fire up ye old g36. So I load up my Hi-cap magazine, put in the battery and start shooting at a target roughly 35 feet away. I takes me about 5 semi auto shots to get the scope zeroed in.Now I'm ready for full auto so, I snap off a few more semi auto shots, switch the fire selector to full and shoot 3 or 4 bursts of about 5 pellets. Then the gun just stopped working. When I pull the trigger it makes a sound like a click when it is pulled back and a click when it is released. No motor sounds no nothing.I then rummaged around in my tool boxes, found some allen wrenches and set to work taking it apart. I got the foregrip the magwell off and when I was trying to unscrew thereciever the screw was stripping even though I was using an appropriate sized allen wrench. So I seem not to be able to open my gun to see whats wrong plus this is my first AEG so I wouldn't really be able to ID the problem anyway. So I'm asking all you g36 experts on here if this is a well known problem with CA's>? I was thinking that the trigger contacts may have burnt out already but I only shot about 40 bb's! Â thanks in advance. Â Link to post Share on other sites
ianhaz Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 The trigger contacts on my CA36 died too, but within 40 rounds of being new? Id contact whoever sold it to you and see what they can do for you. Stripping screws is a sad standard for CA, replaced my screws with JG ones (yep, JG) and havent had any such problems since...

Plankton Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Should I send it back to airsoft atlanta (the place I bought it at) Or is there a way I can fix it myself because after buying 2 guns, batteries, smart chargers and loads of BB's im gone broke! Link to post Share on other sites
ianhaz Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) It can be fixed by opening up the gearbox and scraping off the black oxide/replacing/ bending back the contacts...but it sure aint fun if its your first time AND your first AEG. Give airsoft atlanta a ring, tell them what happened and ask them what they plan to do about it. Â Edit: for clarity, by ring I mean phone call lol Edited January 21, 2009 by ianhaz Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Which screw was it that got stripped? I'm pretty sure that all of the screws on a G36, except for the one that holds the magwell in place are nothing special. You can get new ones from a well equiped hardware store. Even the one at the back of the gun under the stock hinge. There's a store near me that specialices in screws and they had everything. Â That clicking sound is just what you would hear when your battery has run dry. I know you said you just charged it but it never hurts to make sure. Another thing to check is the fuse if your gun has one. The clicking sound would indigate that the fuse has not burned but again it doesn't hurt to check. Â Also sometimes AEGs just jam in semi and can be usually unjammed by fidling around with the fire selector and pulling the trigger. However your gun jammed in full auto so I don't think this is it. Â If all of those are in order then it would seem that something is wrong inside the gearbox. Maybe something has been lodged between the gears or the spring might have snapped (this happened to me once). I'm going to echo ianhaz and say that you should try to contact the seller.

Plankton Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Thanks. I left a message explaining the situation. Hoping they'll get back soon. Â Â Â EDIT: yuri: the screw in front of the butt stock by about 2 inches(roughly) is the one that got stripped. I did infact check my battery and its reading 9.5V so its fully charged. Â Â Also how would I go about checking the fuse, I am quite a novice to all this AEG stuff. Edited January 21, 2009 by Plankton Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis G. Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009  Ceriph  What kind of scope/red dot is that? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuri Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks. I left a message explaining the situation. Hoping they'll get back soon. Also another beginner question: is there any way I CAN get the lower receiver off with that stripped screw? I could take a look into the gear box and see if re-wiring wouldn't be to much a hassle.   EDIT: yuri: the screw in front of the butt stock by about 2 inches(roughly) is the one that got stripped. I did infact check my battery and its reading 9.5V so its fully charged.   Also how would I go about checking the fuse, I am quite a novice to all this AEG stuff.   I don't own a CA myself so I can't say for sure but I imagine it's the same on all G36s'; that screw is there just for show, it doesn't actually hold anything in place. You really need to open only two screws, the one that holds the magwell and the one under the stock hinge. The latter one is at the back of the gun, you need to fold the stock to access it. After you take those out you push the hop-up unit forward and then you can swing the lower receiver with the gearbox attached out of the body.  The fuse, if is present, will be somewhere at the front of the gun next to where you put the battery I imagine.

Plankton Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Well this is trouble some I now have the pistol grip/lower receiver with the top part of the gear box sticking out, with only 3 screws showing. I unscrewed them all and I cant budge anything nor can I really see a way to take the gear box out of this handle or open it up etc to check the trigger wiring. Link to post Share on other sites
Plankton Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Alright sorry for a double post here but I figured it out. It magically worked after I put it back together, I hadn't changed anything at all, it just works now. Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've experienced similar with my CA36... nothing of the internals are CA anymore though; the piston/spring was locked up, field stripping it and sodding about with the selector remedied this issue though... Â Considering buying a second CA36, though I can't quite decide wether or not to start another project just yet. Either way I'm going for CA's AG36 grenade launcher as soon as economy permits; anyone have experiences as to what shells work decently with it? Link to post Share on other sites
suck my GLOCK Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ceriph What kind of scope/red dot is that?  Looks like a G&P aimpoint with a cantilever mount. (Just guessing.) Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Its made by star, I got mine from UNCo. It also has no sights so the rail runs the full length. Â Would anybody be interested in getting a custom run of ksk handle replicas made? I've got the dimensions and I'm pretty sure its something that wouldn't be to hard to machine - especially at a professional level. It would be pretty expensive if you did it individually but if there was a group the costs could be cut. I'd be up for it, although I do have a KSK handle already, probably cut by Jerome, or else, by Bella, from the regular C handle. Link to post Share on other sites

Panoptes Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for that. The designer's had a look and should be able to adjust the schematics (if that's what people want). See other thread... back on topic. Link to post Share on other sites
Ceriph Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ceriph What kind of scope/red dot is that?  I'm pretty sure it's a G&P like mentioned, but there are no trades so I can't say for sure. Iv had it for about 5 years and I got it off some guy @ an event so ... I don't know for sure who makes it. What made me get it is that it's not a dot but a red cross reticle.   Please excuse the TERRIBLE photo, I had to use my phone b/c my girl friend ran off with my camera for the weekend At least you can ... kinda ... see the cross.

adudeinblue Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 My first gun, a CA8-2. Â Â Â Â Â CA SL8 body came with pretty good upgraded internals already and it was during a Christmas sale at AEX so it was another plus. The only thing I changed internally was the spring to m110 and it shoots a little above 400 fps now. and the scope was from walmart for $25 USD haha Link to post Share on other sites
