How NOT to lube a mechbox

ThunderCactus · August 31st, 2009, 22:08

yep.....that's OIL in there....
and it's ALL over everything, the inside of the receiver, the stock tube which was housing a fucking directly connected LiPo battery with no fuse or PCB, all over the motor, the piston, and inside the barrel.
One of the motor leads had broken in half and was soldered back together, there was also a break in the insulation of the wiring where it got crushed somewhere.

This gun is an ordeal, I have to take it to work and clean it all with degreaser, buy all new plastic parts, redo all the wiring, possibly a new motor, clean out the barrel and hopup chamber, and of course get rid of that LiPo since theres no protection of ANY kind on it.

Now this isn't the owner's fault, this is a hideous product of someone who didn't have the slightest clue as to what they were doing when they were upgrading this gun.

There's a reason systema packages and sells gear GREASE and not gear OIL.

I hope it wasn't canola oil

ThunderCactus · August 31st, 2009, 22:39

There were breaks in the wiring insulation, conductive oil everywhere, running an unprotect lipo in the stock tube.
This gun WAS a functional frag grenade.
I can't believe I actually test fired this thing before I opened it

Shirley · August 31st, 2009, 23:07

You call that upgrading? That's obviously downgrading. LOL

Amos · August 31st, 2009, 23:41

JESUS.

Specially with a LI-PO setup... You should contact that gun-doc... or find out who it is and contact every single person who's gun that person has worked on...

... lol Time to make "Manitoba Airsoft Association GUNTECH" rules?

Amos and I have seen an AUG with a tight shimming job that slowed down and sped up as it fired. The original owner claimed that shims "wear in" after time....
Yep....those brass shims pushing against those rotating bearings will wear in REAL quick lol

Tankdude · September 1st, 2009, 18:44
