I would like to mention some problems that occurred during my upgrades to the Kraken AK-47. This is what you may expect using the TM clone mechbox (also J.G Mechbox).

(if i made dumb choices, don't bash me on that please.)

Mods/parts that i have:

Modify Bearing Spring Guide - V3
Upgraded the spring guide but the slots on each shell were too small, you need to file them a little to make a tight fit.

Modify Cylinder Set - AK47 Series
The provided spring does not fit into the piston, so i had to order a new spring. Also, the cylinder head did not fit into the poles on each shell. so i had to use a dremel tool to enlarge the holes.

Tenergy 8.4v 3600mah NiMH Large Battery
Large batteries do not allow you to close the stock using the.. end piece? you will have wires sticking out and battery slightly sticking out by a few millimeters.

King Arms AK Hop-up unit
This got ugly... the sliding piece (where you adjust with your finger) was too large so i had to melt it down so i can get the top part on (where the stick battery sits) DO NOT GET THIS HOP-UP UNIT

Mad Bull 6.03mm Tightbore Barrel - 455mm

Mad Bull M100 AEG Upgrade Spring
Needed for the piston

Modify High Speed Modular Gearset Marui V2/V3
I had to file the holes in the mechbox to get the bushings to fit

Prometheus Air Seal Chamber Packing (Soft Type)

all these were tested on 2 TM clone (one was J.G.) mechboxes.. same results

my upgrades are pretty much done for now, but i want to use that battery, what should i do? is there a homemade end piece i can make?
