I agree with Crunch, the black mechbox is a bit strange but the yellow piston and reciever look genuine. So i'd say you have yourself a CA Mine says it was made in HK too. Strange. Quote:
CA's m15a4 does have some asthetic issues, but i don't mind a bit. I have a track record of breaking everything that comes into my hands and this gun simply will not break on me. Hope this helps. -Brett

I would say go for it. you never learn if you dont try!
a mechbox is a 'relitively' simple piece of electronics/machinery. all you have to do is open her up, and run the wires to the other side! I would definately recommend having a friend there, even if they dont know anything about airsoft guns, because its always helpful to have someone hold the compressed spring down while you reassemble the other half of the shell :banghead: like everyones said, go to mechbox.com, and dont be afraid to try it yourself! |

If you're willing to ship the mechbox to Manitoba I've got a very good gundoc that works with me that charges $20 per hour (if you send just the mechbox you're looking at under an hours worth of work) My gundoc would also check all the shimming and everything like that if you want... (Would probobly be no more than $40 labor) |

Shims shims shims... Take it apart, it's pretty easy actually, I did that on my first gun with no problems. Make sure you press the spring and the piston into the gearbox as you lift the top half off. My CA M15A4 had a silver casing as well, however, it was a 4 digit serial number, and a non-ported piston, maybe yours was just the result of a later production model? It is not of much concern as "classic army" has been carved into the side. Make sure when you open it up to put any washers left on the bushings back on the correct gear, this will allow you to skip the process of shimming your gearbox. Just watch mechbox.com and you'll be perfectly fine.

Most companies are painting mechbox shells black now, recent G&G's I've seen are painted black even though G&G's I saw a year or two ago where unpainted metal.
Every CA gun I ordered new from ASCA back when they where running came with a gold "Made in Hong Kong" sticker somewhere on the outside of the gun. I didn't see the quoted price that Amos said was high, but here in Ottawa to get an armalite simply rewired (and always reshimmed at the same time) costs tops $40, would probably do it for $20 if someone brought me just a mechbox though I always want to at least test fire the mechbox before I give it back. |

In the mechbox.com video, it mentions something about removing the electrical component and later mentions putting a "new" one in. Can you not use the old one and just filter the wires back through the mechbox, or do you have to buy a completely new electrical component? The trigger switch assembly I think.
