So, some people may know I bought the JG "Dragon/ ThunderMaul" off of a friend for $100. The thing is a total piece of sh!t. It shoots fine, except for the fact that the hop-up is jammed so it can't be adjusted. I found a guide on-line on how to disassemble the M4 body and get to the hop-up unit and when I took a look at it, my blood almost boiled and shot out of my ears, I was so p!ssed. One of the gears is faulty. It didn't come out of the plastic mold correctly and so the space between two of the prongs(?) on the gear is filled with plastic. Not only that, but one of the prongs(?) on the other gear, has been turned so hard against this faulty spot, that it made a VERY tiny indentation and is now stuck in its position and won't turn anymore. This is where quality control should have kicked in, and that gear should never have been placed on the hop-up unit. -_-'

What should my next move be? Do I have to replace the entire hop-up system? I think I may just sell it as scrap, or a project for someone when I get AV'd. If I do keep going on turning this thing in to a full M4. What are all the parts I would NEED, to put together a front end for this thing?

Thanks in advance.
