Richard Y Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Well developed a similar problem just before Xmas , only got to see my pet tec today and apon opening the gearbox we discovered that the spring had ridden up on to the collar of the bearing spring guide and was jamming up the recoil weight and it had then ground down some teeth on the piston and gear which was causing the lock up . So now need new gear set , new spring guide and new piston . Not happy one bit to say the least . And before any one asks yup it was an eagle6 M90 spring (not a cut down 'normal spring') . only 300 m90s sold and first problem like this, do you know what spring guide it was with, you said bearing spring guide im assuming its not standard ?

druid799 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) I think its the shs ball bearing one (I bought it at the same time as the spring ). Edited April 20, 2013 by druid799 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 In a scar ? they dont make one that fits to my knowledge. I mean the v3 one might fit at a push but you probably wouldnt be able to screw in the stock screw. But really you need the promy new v1 / 9 spring guide for scar and ak series. Had no issues there. Or the original.. but then ive seen originals break. Theres always going to be a chance for part incompatibilitys... i dont make there bits and they dont make mine. The diameter of the m90 is wider than the m100 its how i reduced the strength of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I bought the spring guide from eagle6 at the same time as I bought the spring , think it would have been about 18ths ago? so it's which ever one you were selling at the time (no markings on the guide so can't 100% tell which one it was ) .

Richard Y Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 18 months ago and its only just now cuased a problem.. ? hmmm, if a normal tm gun went that long then broke it would be considered normal lol, hornbill V3 guide... maybe.. those tend to come unbranded V3 spring guides do fit... technically.. from both my experience and other guys on this thread. But laylax made one specifically for New V1 / V9, the scar being a *bramston pickle* child of a new V2 and a New V1 (i truely can not keep up with Version numbers) . Maybe laylax figured something out when making the spring guide that we couldnt see when fitting v3 guides back when scar first came out, that made them create there own a specific version for AK/g36/scar. Heres linky http://www.eagle6.co.uk/shop/upgrade-part-s/upgrades-aeg/spring-guides/prometheus-spring-guide-new-v1-v9-gearbox.html As a result of the subtle variations which are being thrown in by TM, now in the next gen iterations.. we cant really rely on Version numbers any longer .. its all gettings a mess to be honest. Im creating a new info section on my site which will consolidate all of the info out there and all of the upgrade parts for each gun specifically in all varitions including colour. Obviously its easier listing laylax parts to start with simply becuase they are the only company to continually make new parts specifically for new releases of next gen. Ill try slowly roll in the multiple choices and anything you guys want added. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 It actually went t*ts up beginning of Dec but its only now I've had the chance to take it to my tame tech (stewpidbear) and he cracked it open last wk (I leave all my tech work to him , I'm a total no hoper at gearboxes) and that's when we discovered what had happened . i think its lasted this long due to the scar not being used every game day , I have a couple of different guns that I use so they all get rotated and due to working shifts I only get to play at best once a mth if I'm lucky and some times i can run 6,7 even 8 wks between games plus I'm not a particularly 'heavy fingered' player so it didn't get used that much ?

blobface Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hello, sorry for a slight thread jacking, but you might end up getting a free metal upgrade part for the SCAR so please have a look and help! http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/209407-open-offer-to-all-tm-recoil-scar-l-owners-measurements-needed/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 sounds like a good idea if you can do it youll have to let me know the results of making an ali version instead of plastic on the stock it pushes agasint over time, if its good i can look into a part on mass my end. how are you going to colour match? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 how are you going to colour match? It'd probably be similar finish to that steel gas block as seen on that thread, which has a matt black electroplating finish, but I can't say I'd be producing more than half a dozen, it's mainly for myself and someone who can help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Anyone know what prommy barrel/hop will fit the Scar L cqc version? Just managed to get my hands on one. Lovely little gun, but I'd like to squeeze a little more fps without any stress on the internals. Not totally averse to fitting a silencer, but I'd rather not..

hiawatha Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Im sry for this offtopic question, but i wonder if the laylax rail would dit the heavy model asweal? Otherwise i might get the l instead, but im really fond of the H version. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise i might get the l instead, but im really fond of the H version. Thanks I have the Laylax rail on my Scar H, fits really well and looks awesome! Just be aware that when you undo the side rails, the bolts that hold these on are loose and can fall out of place. Later daze Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to be of help! I had the same worry when I bought mine. The First Factory part is also sold as Laylax by some of the other suppliers. I had major issues searching for it as under the First Factory brand Not the greatest pic, but mine is below! Edited May 28, 2013 by lee stephenson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jas Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Has anyone had any luck finding the stock pistons? I've been looking to pick up a few spares for a couple months and cant find them in stock anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stewpidbear Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Also can you use a Prometheus Hard Scar Piston with a standard TM piston head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jas Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Also can you use a Prometheus Hard Scar Piston with a standard TM piston head. Yes. Dont be surprised if the piston head just spins on the screw inside it tho. The first time I removed my piston head to change the stock spring it came off no problem but this weekend when I tore it down to upgrade to the Prometheus piston I could not remove it since it was spinning freely on the screw.
