After chronoing my gun the other day, I was going to clean the inside of my mag-well. Upon looking up into the mag-well for dirt, I noticed that my gearbox is cracked (Same friggin spot as my MP5).
I have been talking to the techs at KWA and they are awesome. Hands down they have the best customer service I have ever dealt with.
However, I will be unable to use my KWA M16 this weekend so I will be rolling with my brother's Echo1 M4 (STAG Version).
It's shooting terrible right now (curving WAY up after about 80-120 feet, but I'm going to have the guy at Amped Airsoft look at it. I scheduled an appointment with him around 7pm Friday night if that is ok. I know that we have to get to our hotel after chrono, so please let me know if this appointment will be a problem. I definitely do not want to hold anyone up.
Also, I'm going to be shipping my gearbox back to KWA soon. So glad this happened before the warranty expired. I'm having them drop in my Guarder SP110 spring, so hopefully that will help the gearbox last a little longer.
Anyway, please let me know if that appointment is going to be a problem with anyone.
Thanks, Dom

WTF? How cold was it when you were shooting it to chrono? You need to put adamantium reinforced gearboxes in all of your guns from now on. ;D

Hahaha. It was Saturday. I only shot like 30 rounds through it, too. It doesn't help that an M130 came with it stock, but w/e. I have nooo idea why the heck this happened, lmao.
Oh well. Hopefully the Echo will be alright for the event. =( Lol

Dom, Plan was to go to the hotel before chrono, we are leaving around 1800, checking into the hotel, then going to chrono. Last I heard they might not even have chrono Friday.

I thought we were leaving at 17:00? I thought the plan was to meet at the factory around 4:30 and be on the road by 5.
The earlier we leave the better as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah. I thought we were leaving a little earlier than 1800. Also, if we go to the field to chrono, I have a chronograph that you could use to know what to expect the following day (if they don't chrono Friday night.
Is there any chance that I could have Amped Airsoft look at my gun while we are there Friday night? My M4 isn't shooting well at all and I need him to look at it in order for me to be able to use it. Angus, Amped's tech, said that there are going to be a TON of people getting work done on Saturday morning, and throughout the weekend. He said that Friday night is the best night. Just let me know if that's alright. I've been pm'ing him on WPA's forums and the inspection/repair would probably take at least 30 minutes, maybe more, depending on the extent of my bb curving issue. I don't think that he's going to have to disassemble the gearbox, but he's going to be checking out the hop-up. It won't be too long, but I can't guarantee that. Anything could happen.
I can always ask someone to give me a ride back to the hotel if the repair will hold everyone up. Either that or a taxi =)

Dom, I thought you were driving yourself?
I'd rather not be stuck at the field any longer than I have to on Friday night.

I thought we basically figured he was going to ride with us anyways in the suburban. It would be easier if we all went together, and Peterman could get a few extra bucks for gas.
The other guy at the shop already took friday off before I could get it, so I'll try to duck out early but don't count on anything. And don't give me any of that sh*t about my uncle being the boss, it doesn't work that way. =)

I'll just ask someone for a ride back to the hotel once Angus is finished with the repairs. What time is everyone going to want me to be back? I don't want to be out too late after people go to sleep.
Sorry about all this crap. Dom

I don't know, we'll figure it out and just keep in touch. I'm sure we'll be up fairly late.

Lol. Don't worry guys. I fixed my gun. All I need the guy at Amped to do now is adjust my motor, which takes all of 2 minutes. I'm good to go. No worries.

You can't adjust your own motor? That's probably one of the easiest airsoft fixes. Remove base plate and adjust away...
