Quality guns these days are just fine for gaming, this isn't 2003 and all we can get are TM guns with shitty gears and low springs.

I agree. Many stock guns are great. This is a case of "Shouldn't have opened it" but as an example, my KJW KC02 has a host of upgrades (based on the Tanio Kobia 10/22) all of which have improved the gun. Stock performance is fine for some people, but many want to achieve the maximum level of performance possible.

No... leave your gun alone. Now you have turned your $500 VFC into a piece of doodie you can't leave it alone anymore.:banghead:

Too bad you couldn't fix it with wood. You've got that shit down cold.

[chaz]

And my $500 doodie is now going to cost even more lol. The work I had done is going right down the crapper because it just hasn't been reliable and I want it all gone!

[Rossco66]

The good news is that I think your barrel group and your battery connection are still spot on and won't require any repairs at all.

Considering my VFC high speed, along with half of my team's builds were built by the same tech and rarely get issues I would say this is just one of those odd cases of "nothing seems to work".
You also have to keep in mind that it is a high speedbuild, and sometimes airsoft QC isn't up to high speed standards.

[chaz]

Lol hope not. When the gun does shoot it's beyond straight and accurate.

[chaz]

Zack perhaps. But I am tired of repairing this thing all the time and am going to change techs and parts.

Yes take a picture of that. A better picture.

Did everybody just miss a glaring issue?

[chaz]

First picture was a bad picture, however I think I may have found the issue.


Is it normal for the gear to do what it is clearly showing in the pictures below?

First set shows the middle section pushed out.



This set shows them pushed back in. Took a bit of pushing with my fingers but not a lot.

[Rossco66]

That doesn't look good at all. One gear is a lot cheaper than the siegetek set.

[chaz]

Nah men.... bullet proof! lol I don't want gears failing in the near future.

[lurkingknight]

yeah that gear is supposed to be flat against the rest. What you got there is a separated gear. The gears are made in pieces and pressed together.
