The "joys" (aka. trials) of being a gun doctor!

Had a customer yesterday ask or a m170 spring to put in his Thompson. We told him it wouldn't work with stock parts. He said its okay, he already took the old spring out. The guy left half the gearbox screws in and pried the back of the gearbox open far enough to take the spring out. He's confident he did a good job even though his gearbox is completely warped now.

Sometimes wish there was a minimum requisite intelligence level to be allowed out of the house.

Don't worry bro. I fixed it.

I don't even have/work on AEGs and that hurt me.

Good luck trying to find a replacement V6 gearbox there!

Yes but finding one that is still in stock is the tricky part.

I have access to a few KA V6 gearboxes.

jordan7831 · November 16th, 2014, 21:00

Haha well I wish I knew that when I had a P90!

you can order a gearbox direct from classic army.

Someone loves to use drywall screws in places they don't belong.

There was another screw right behind the rear body pin. You can still see the hole it made.

How about a rubber band instead of a spring?

Hope you charged this person through the roof

Yea, the entire gun had to be redone and almost everything had to be replaced. Bill wasn't cheap.
