I have 2 of the 8mm versions that have been sitting on my work bench for some time in one stage of completion or another, and I will agree with Illusion that these things are a hugh pain in the ass, but once done properly they make you giggle! I do believe that the issue with the tappet plate has been addressed with the second release of it, but I would have to say that it is perhaps not perfect quite yet. I would also agree that the PGC Piston that they have with the Version 2 of it, is crap. I stripped the first 2 rack gears on it with just the M80 spring in there after about 100 shots.
Shimming is in my opinion one of the hardest things to do for it internally (reciever mods aside) as it is a very persice gear box. I just wish they included some more info on the CD that ships with it regarding, well, every aspect of the thing. The pictures they have for what needs to be done to the recievers leaves a little something to be desired. And not including any info on Guarder recievers is annoying.
And as for the Version 2 of it being leet Ninja black... It is not that nice. To be honest, I would much rather it be some funky color like the nice neal one, or some of the prototype colors they went through. not this bland deep gray that it is. I would have really loved a deep red.
But I will say one thing. 8mm Bearings just keep going. Your gears seem to spin forever on these things!
Now if only I can get enough cash to put both of them togeather, then I will be happy.
