madbull Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Dear friends, We recently released about 50 pcs our first production CO2 gearbox to test the market and we did receive a lot of valuable feedbacks. We will release a new improved version very soon based on the feedbacks. Most of all, for those who help us to "evaluate" our first production, we will provide free upgrade once we release new improved version. Thanks for all of your supports! Current review from AirsoftGi.com http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_reviews_i...&reviews_id=979 Current issues: (1) Double shoots: Happened once in a while. Can be improved by upgrading a tighter hop-up rubber. We have more description on our manual. (2) Velocity: Some people already found out an easy way to upgrade. (Just drill a hale.) We will post some photos later. (3) Loosen grip: You must ensure your grip is "fixed" on the lower receiver base or the CO2 will leaking and push out the grip. We will provide some methods to solve this issue. (4) Buttstock fixing screw: This is a tough issue. If you let the screw all the way to the gearbox, it will damage the spring. We would like to provide the screw but there are too many different length. Our solution now is: You need to cut the screw if the screw go through the gearbox. We will have a new design to solve this issue. Again. Thanks for all your supports on this project. (Although, we need to admit that we will lose a lot of money on this project.)

Donut Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Good job madbull. Sorry to hear that you'll lose money, but this will make a lot of airsofters happy. Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Great job. Keep up the good work and I might have to get myself one and put it into an old M4 AEG my friend was about through out because the gearbox was litteraly toast. Link to post Share on other sites

El_Hombre Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I didn't order one of these personally, but I really respect the way you kept your promise and put out this product even though it's going to be a loss for you guys. Thank you for running an honest business. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Jebus Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (Although, we need to admit that we will lose a lot of money on this project.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Get one to work in a G36/MP5k, you'll make a lot more, Hell, I'd buy two! Link to post Share on other sites
Hvy gear Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Great job madbull, i'm looking forward to getting one of these. Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 If one worked in a g3, i would take one. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 So approximately when will it be finalized and mass produced? Link to post Share on other sites
Silas5150 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Good to know madbull! Thanks for the high quality customer support. The replacement gearbox works pretty well. I've been experiencing the double shots, like you've said, but I've also gotten bursts of 3-8 bbs at a time. You mentioned drilling a hole for a way to raise the fps. Where should the hole be drilled? Link to post Share on other sites
madbull Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Here you go: My friend, Troy, owner of 2Roy, provide the photo. As to the double shot, you need to change a tighter hopup rubber. AEG: Pull trigger--Nozzle move back--Feed B.B.--Fire CO2 box: Nozzle move back--Feed B.B.--Pull trigger--Fire So, if your hopup is loosen, more than one B.B. may go into chamber.

ColSanders Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Sounds like the best way to alleviate the problem with the hop up bucking might even be just a wrap or two with teflon tape, can anyone try this and see what happens? I'm waiting for the M14 version... Link to post Share on other sites
Agujereado Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I was planning on getting one of these, but I think I missed out. I will definitely buy this new version. Link to post Share on other sites
sadigh Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Will the new version be avaliable in the U.K? Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 will you be making 'conversion kits' so that these fit into other guns that the M4/M16 series? for example, one for the A to Z SVD would be very very popular. maybe you should talk to A to Z Cargo about it? joint venture, or so? would be very lucrative!

Dave_gray2077 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 So what AEG's will this thing actuly fit? will it go into a ICS M16A3? or is it only TM M16s that this works in? Link to post Share on other sites
Five-sEvEn Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Link didnt work for me. Sounds good though. I'd buy an armalite just for this so long as all the problems are worked out. Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Togo Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I've been experiencing the double shots, like you've said, but I've also gotten bursts of 3-8 bbs at a time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This sounds better, how about a really loose hop buck to get full auto. Link to post Share on other sites
pingpong Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 dam im still debating.. should i get the gearbox lol .... only if it used propane =[ Link to post Share on other sites
Hick Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 If Mad Bull makes one for the G36, then I would get it in a heartbeat. Link to post Share on other sites
madbull Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 One more thing is: We will make small quantity of full M4 rifle to sell to one very famous training camp. Detail available soon. Link to post Share on other sites
KeyChain Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think if ya'll made a version 3 too you would take control of the whole market. Imean you already have all the schematics down so you would just have to change the shape of the shell. Link to post Share on other sites
rtrdpenguin Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I too would like a V3 but the V2 gas box only works with M16 variants right? No G3, MP5, etc? Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 MP5 uses V2 but you'd have trouble with the cocking handle... I think Link to post Share on other sites
Five-sEvEn Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 My plan is to buy one and see what I can fit it in. I plan to see how much modification it takes to stick it in various AEGs. Problem is, I have 2 V3 guns, and only an ICS MP5 as a V2. Also, as said earlier if a V3 box came out, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat, provided the external gas supply connected directly to the gearbox. By the way, anyone know how the external gas is attached for this version? Link to post Share on other sites
