Hello,
I have read the thread about upgrading your Kraken when you get it, to make it a reasonable gun.

http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthr...ghlight=Kraken

I read that it is recommended to strip the gun down and replace the grease inside with new higher grade grease, and he recommended lithium grease as one of the greases you can use. Is this grease a good enough grease, http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/pr...romSearch=true it is Canadian Tire grease so I am not sure if it is good enough.

Also, I read that it is recommended to get new Shims and Bushing, since I am a low budget person, I found these:

Also, Im not sure what bushing to get because I have no idea what size the bushings for the Kraken need to be. Also since this is my first gun, Im not sure how to regrease or replace shims and bushings, and was wondering if these was a video on how to do this. I have already watched the MechBox video on how to Dissasemble and Reassemble the gun, but these videos did not show me how to replace these parts.

Now the major question is, since Im new to Airsoft, and I currently only play in my friends back yard with a group of 6 people, are these upgrades even needed?, or are the recommended only if you want to play in real games with the Kraken.

Thanks in advance
