Striped Gears
Well i was out last night with my stock TM MP5 SD5 and whammo... one of the gears stripped and broke the teeth right off. I also noticed one of those notorious plastic bushings had broken in two. What sucks even more is i've only been using the gun for the past 2 weeks and i've only owned it for 1.5 months. Oh well... 'tis the world of airsoft I guess. :kill:
The problem started when I think I got a stuck BB in the hop up. I tried clearing it by firing it a few times... that's when it happened. Now I know better. :nod:
Anyhow. I've ordered some new parts to repair the situation and i'd like some opinions on whether you think it will help this from happening again.
Here's what i've ordered for the mechbox for now.
1 x Systema Precision Shim Set
1 x Airsoft Elite Oiless Steel Bushings
1 x Systema flat gear set
So what do you think? I am planning on a spring and cylinder upgrade in a while, but first I want the damn thing to work again.
What should I watch out for when putting this back together?
Appreciate the help!
