Current project on your bench

Nice work mate.:+1:

Always plenty of annoying little things that you always find when tearing things apart, but nothing a little patience and ingenuity won’t fix.:grin:

Wow, I remember the days I was into modding, wiring and customizing my Blasters. Having gone from the beginning to the end of this there is some damn impressive ideas and innovative work. Great paint colours and … Aaawww Hell, I got to say this!

DChapo, I don’t think I know you mate and I mean no offense by this but all those blasters in the beginning only made me thing you were making weird shaped Sex Toys :rofl:. I see later that you refined your skill set and indeed moved a long way from ā€œJedi master of the Dildoā€, to a true master blaster modder!

Innovation comes from within, damn I hope that doesn’t sound weird! :thinking:
My innovation was definitely not like yours, I was only interested in reaching a predestined velocity, reliability and some electronic tweaks to improve the fire control system. Oh yes, Accuracy was also a goal within those parameters. I’ve got so much junk lying about now I will really need to get it out there and have a clearance sale too!
It was great fun recreating the replica’s (or NAFCG replica) of the real ones I used or captured in the early days in the sandpit! Some have moved on to new homes already and were fun while I had them. They are in better hands now, where they can be used.
I do envy the skill of 3D printing you guys have, that has come a long way since it began. I am really curious about this 3D printing in alloy and S/Steel now? HTF can they do that?

Well, I just wanted to say I am really impressed by what I have seen and it’s great to see innovation alive and kicking in the Forum.

Keep on innovating and building new stuff, it looks great, weird and fun. Isn’t that what this should all be about :grinning:

Hmm annoying. I just grab the 9 pound hammer that fixes it :rofl:

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem

With you, if it’s not the 9 pound hammer, it’s the 9 inch Grinder!

I’m just glad you never chose to be a Brain Surgeon!:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Well Ill either fuck it or fi
x it haha

You want brain surveyed. Got the Doc spun up for a Friday Appointment . I dunno how the fucks that going to gogo :saluting_face: We shall see Bang bump statt in stat how many bpms, fucked if I know does that works hang on need the fucking helo copter. :rofl: :+1:

Ahhh…that Go Go…

not the dart…!

Just dont let me sleep in…

Dont worry…the 80’s will be back…

In another 60 years…!!

:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:: :rofl: :smiley:

Printed some spacers, no gap, no rattle.



Just need to tweak the gas tube extension so that doesn’t move around now.

Since when did CYMA start using notched cylinders?

you’re giving me flashbacks, trying to get it all back together…!

have fun…!! Good luck…!!

Well since you say that…

It fits!..


Or does it… Kit was supposed to be for a CYMA M4…
Knew I should have test fitted it before painting :expressionless:
Didn’t even occur to me to check the selector.

Oh I just realised the cylinder is notched cause of the blowback alignment

I’ve disabled blowback and filed off that cylinder detent on many CYMA gearboxes before so they can take aftermarket jobbies.

I could have always filed a notch in the new cylinder too… but I’d rather file nylon than metal anyday. :rofl:

Hadn’t come across it before onna cyma, Ive worked in a few but none of them has blowback, obviously hence why.

9" Angle grinder sorts all your worlds problems out. You either fix it or fk it :rofl: :rofl: :v:

Was working on my SCAR-SC to get a battery to fit while I wait for the putty on the ADAR to dry.

The battery keeps bottoming out on something, first o thought it was a nub onto the gearbox so I grinded that off…


Not my best work but it’s enough.

But that didn’t make any difference. Looking inside the cavity there’s an oversized screw sticking down, thought oh, well I can just swap that with a shorter on and it should clear it…



The bloody thing is only screwing into the receiver, it’s not holding anything in place :person_shrugging:t2:

At first I thought it might have been a stop for the charging handle but the spring doesn’t even stretch that far and it has a bolt catch anyway that the screw is actually preventing the bolt from reaching…

This blaster has been on the backburner pretty much since I got it last year cause I couldn’t get anything but the smallest 7v in there only to find it was a pointless screw preventing me from being able to use it…


It’s still a tight fit but it fits now…

And I just discovered a screw is missing that holds the barrel in place…

I think there is an old Taccytoys M4 somewhere in there getting a bit of an upgrade

I have one of these I bought as a project that has been on the back burner for a while too, And this was to be a hurdle I knew I needed to address so thanks for the insight mate.

Cute little ugly package, mine needs a good amount of fit and fiddle to get working as it was bought in parts missing internals. Going to butcher an MK gearbox into mine at some point, but it is far from straight forward like I was hoping!

If you want to change the barrel it’s not a standard t-piece like the M4, it’s a fair bit longer.

Mine mine was a DB from memory, 8.5mm OD barrel.

May need to pull it apart again :expressionless:think I might have pinched one of the wires in the back too much trying to get the stock plate back on.
The wires run up behind the gearbox to the battery on-top, but there’s a groove just under the spring retainer that a tongue on the rear plate sits in, which just so happens to be right where the wires want to be because that’s where they come out of the gearbox … So I almost sheared the wire, got a good groove in the wire now but doesn’t seem to be broken but that can be a tomorrow job :melting_face:

Oh and it turns out the spring for the charging handle is incredibly weak and I ended up pulling the loop on the front straight out, which it’s only hooked on a loose piece of metal that comes thru to the front of the gas block and isn’t attached to anything…
