Buddy your something else. I would like everyone to know It was me who did the upgrade for him on his cloned m4

It was a haung import, not the easiest box to work on, I replaced

Bushings (removed nylon installed hurricane bushings & modify shim set)
Gearset (just couldn't get stock ones to shim smoothly)
spring guide (added systema bearing spring guide)
Cylinder Head (stock cylinder head was cracked replaced with TM with sorbo)
Replaced tappet plate (new guarder)
Installed modify m110 spring
piston and piston head ( believe I used new TM OEM combo, great setup for spring type)
Air seal nozzle (replaced with systema)
I repaired solder contacts on trigger assembly
Also cleaned all heavy soupy grease out of box and relubed with systema greases

Working on the clone box was nothing short of trying my patience, very hard box to shim correctly.

Also removed stock stock hop up that was cracked, I'm pretty sure I installed new one piece hop up, along with sytema rubber and bucking.

I also replaced stock inner barrel with Mad Bull black python inner barrel

I than replaced the lower reciever on the body for with a TM one, because he had used a paint brush to paint his clear lower reciever, with some sort of tar paint.

I also gave him a 300 round hicap

I also through in a 10.8 volt battry

All parts a labour came to $300

How ever I had to take off $20 because he ruined the 10.8 battery because he charged it with the stock wall charger that came with his gun.

My first words to him were I don't know how long this gun will last, so I'm really not surprised the mechbox broke, the clone shell isn't the best quality, I haven't seen the box but I'm sure it broke in the front traditional spot, way too much vibration I suspect, this would account for the cracked stock hop up.

I did the work in the begining of January, he just paid me off last week, not even full cash total I had to take item in barter.

I have never drilled any holes during a mechbox upgrade, I dont think any other gun docs have either. Yes your parts are going to be a mix match, I use whatever part works the best in a set up, the main reason your gun was so hard to work on was I had to try different combos, the two key things to an upgrade are good airseal, and smooth gearset shimming.

I'm not a master like Illusion, but I have done at least 50 gun upgrades, there are numerous people who have been very satisfied with my work.

I can understand your frustration that your gun broke down, and you being new to the sport, dont know that gun breakdowns are just a way of life in airsoft.

I have to say you have been the most difficult person to deal with, I bent over backwards for you because you are a local here in Barrie and new to the sport.
