agreed. I didn't want to become a gun smith as I knew I'd become overwhelmed with work. but such is life.
I've been a tinker for most of my life, i've always taken stuff apart and fixed whatever needed to be fixed and gained experiance from that. I then went on to computers and other mechanical devices. When i got into airsoft I just wanted to get someone else to fix my guns as I didn't want to spend the time. I had a broken glock that noone could fix .. finally I broke down and took it apart .. fixed the gun and now I fix for other people (this is the short version of the story).
bottom line is this. Read all you can on all the forums you can on problems and fixes on what other people do/did. This will give you a general idea what to look for, what fixes what and how things are done by alot of people. Most things in airsoft are just simple observation, if this doesn't work find out why. what other parts influence the opporation of that part and look there, etc.
Anyone with a good mechanical and problem solving ability can become a gun smith or at leats be able to work on your own guns until the really really demon possed gun visits your gun. All I can offer you is to read and to experiment. You will get frusterated and confussed, you'll even loose and break parts but you will learn in the end. As long as you can observe what is going on then you should be ok. just don't be affriad to try. once you are affriad the battle is lost no matter what.
