Maddog96 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 So I have been wanting to learn how to open and tweak a gearbox of an aeg for about two years because of little things that need to be fixed in my gun(and it happens alot). I have a CAg36 and I love it ,but it is a CA so it needs to be tweaked. Im thinking that I'm going to get a TM m16a1 to open and play around with and become familiar with the gearbox. I dont want to jump in hastily so I'm asking anyone who has a thought to plz respond. Link to post Share on other sites
cllwayzata2011 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Look around and read some of the guides, maybe take pictures as you go along. The V2 gearbox is pretty straightforward, and if you've opened one before you should be okay. Just have confidence in yourself, and if you can't figure it out, ask us. I'm sure the friendly members here on Arnies will be able to help you out Link to post Share on other sites
Maddog96 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 OK, thanks for the advice. Link to post Share on other sites
zachattack Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 If I were you I'd buy a clone to start out on and therefore won't be losing a ton of money if you break anything. Link to post Share on other sites
Maddog96 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 But would a clone be harder to take apart than a TM? I have done it to a $50 AUG clone but it was hard to get back together. Link to post Share on other sites

Maddog96 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Would anyone recommend a gun to take apart? Link to post Share on other sites
waxxer Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 CA G36s are fairly easy to take apart, but Id buy some chinese MGB ACM in your place and experiment on that. theyre almost the same as the real deals. Link to post Share on other sites
XenoBait Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 If you do get an old gearbox or something to take apart, bear in mind that the G36 uses a v3 gearbox, not a v2, like an m16. It's not a big leap to go from one to the other, but they are different, particularly around the trigger and the motor. Best of luck! Link to post Share on other sites

Maddog96 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks for the support guys and Samm cool page. Also is the TM m4a1 (NV) hard to take apart? Link to post Share on other sites
Czezwy Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Guide is not all, and unfortunatly you won`t find a guide for everything in the net. You don`t have to buy a clone, you don`t have to buy a new GB (or anything else You will want to repair/upgrade etc). there are few simple rules and if you`ll respect them everything will be fine: 1. Look very carefully what you`re doing. 2. Try to remember right placing of every part (it`s stupid feeling when after the work you see few parts left) 3. Work in the place prepared for this (not on the table with your lunch, or right on you knees) 4. NEVER use force. everythig should go smoothly. 5. Always use proper tools Those are the main rules. Trust I repair/upgrade ASG guns for six years. P. Link to post Share on other sites
