yes. tired it both way. it wont fit

Damn thats not good. Please let me know if Guarder gets back to you.

So I happened to find that Guarder has amended the installation instructions for the V2 metal body. Check it out at :Guarder V2 Metal Body instruction

Let me know if that helps.

It doesnt really help. The easiest way to do it is to file down just a bit of the back of the mechbox. I had a mere millimeter before the thing would slide into place I did not want to force it anymore then I had to. So I simply filed down the back just to give it more off a slope and bang! Into place!

Where did you get one from? I'm still looking to buy one.

instructions http://www.intrudershop.com/show_pro...?idproduct=766 dont work.
It simply wont go togher. where the motor is, is to tight to fit into the reciever, the tappet plate wont move because its to tight and the hopup is about 1/8' to far forward for the reciever to fit. Step 19 simply wont work. mechbox + hopup is to large and you cant flex the metal body enough to get it over.

BTW, magwell will need extensive modification to fit TM or star mags.

None have been able to install them.
In the process of installing mine, I broke my selector plate.
and my other teammate reported cracking during installing on the reciever.

We have emailed guarder in hope of them addressing these issues, but as a warning, I would recommend against buying new gen guarder recievers.

You should wait a Mk2... well it's your money

Have fun

You just need to modify them a bit, mainly filing, forum members have PM'd me and discussed this in other threads.

I was just looking more closely at the Guarder instructions and they show you need to glue some sort of plastic spacer inside the body (rather long item).

What exactly is this for? To wedge the mech box in tighter?

Never had to do that with a G&P body.

Thanks

I'm not sure what that part does. When I look at a TM shell in a C8 upper, I don't see any purpose for it except to fill in the space there. It doesn't provide any useful saddling for the mechbox or alignment for the rec'r.

I think you can skip that part of the instructions.

I got mine built by bartek today, and it's a beautiful piece of kit. Magwell is a bit tight and needs to be worked in and/or filed down.

Well, my mechbox is a stock TM shell and there had to be a little filing done to wedge it into the lower body. It wasn't hell, but as manchovie can attest it wasn't a walk in the park.

anyone try installing a systema complete mechbox in one of these?

I just got one today. I Havent touch it yet. Waiting for more reviews before I do something stupid. Hows the fit with the following gboxes and which is recommended? TM, Progear box and Systema full gbox? Performance?

I did do a pretty comprehensive fitment study on TM mechboxes. I don't have any Systema boxes to work with right now so I don't know about the issues with SystemA.
