now i am thinking where i should get a guarder or an angs gear set...

any idea or anyone who used the heavest spring on these gears? my plan is still to use the 22lbs spring...

Get a Guarder gear set. The stock one won't last long.

+1

That gear looks like it went through a war lol...

yeah, indeed....

i'm getting the angs gear set and probably use a 20lbs spring :P

HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOD WHERE YOUN PUT A VERSION 3 MECH BOX INTO YOUR M60? ITS WHAT I PLAN TO DO WHEN MINE DIES.....

yup...i 've seen it done by appslap at arnies...

thing is i want to maintain the originality :P

YOU BET, THE ORIGINALITY AND SIMPLICITY OF THE BELLOW SYSTEM VERSES THE V3 MECH BOX...........ANY HELPFUL HINTS ON FEED ISSUES AND UPGRADES (SPRINGS....FPS.....FEED BOX AND FEEDER MECHANISM FOR FEED BOX)?

Your bellows come in yet Tank? And damn those gears looked torched

WHY ARE YOU YELLING"!?!?1!1!?

Oh, and V3 FTW. I can't imagine running anything else in a support role.

Damn, I almost sent a PM that I have a package of TOP m60 (orig TOP) gears that I do not use.

Than I saw your location haha.

Haven't dealt with the bellows of the TOP guns (keep hearing they are crap), but I rebuilt Red_Tiger's TOP M60 a couple months ago and it had the cylinder upgrade, and worked damn well once I got everything done!

Yeah, the bellows system is total crap. If you need parts for one Stalker I gave my stock stuff to Testtube for his parts bin. Either the Angs cylinder (great upgrade) or the Guarder cylinder (even better upgrade) puts the bellows to shame. The stock-ish mechbox assembly of the 249 makes even a V3 look unreliable, and if you upgrade it to full Guarder components, you'll be in support role heaven.

Only problem with the one Lutnit bought from Red_Tiger (yes, it's back in Ottawa, hopefully for good now) is that damn trigger contacts problem. I thought I fixed it for good by soldering a shaped peice of brass around the contact on the trigger, worked great when I had it and RT had it, now it's gone intermittant again. Fucking thing, as annoying as the microswitch in Apoc's CA M249!!!!

Micro switches suck. Best way to keep them consistent is to spray them with brake cleaner oddly enough.
