Just purchased a TM M4A1 Carbine, comes with 290fps out of the box but id like it around the 350 mark.]

Would this be an easy job and how would i go about it..

P.S im an auto mechanic by trade so am slightly capable

Re: Upgrades

How expensive are the parts roughly?

So first steps would be to strip the gun down to the gearbox,

how is this done
ive just spent £250 so dont wanna break it !!!

Re: Upgrades

Depends were you buy them from UK or HK. If your not to confident douing it on your only gun you could send it to Z1 and pay £35 just for the tech charge, or send it to *cough* some one *cough* on the forum and they will do it for next to nothing.

Spring £10
Spring guide £5
Metal bearing/bushings £3-4
Some packs of shims around £2 each
Grease set(I use the Element set) £7
Then I guess you have some plastic washers/spacers for the AoE correction

Re: Upgrades

Parts costs will depend on which make you would prefer. And I wonder who you could send your gearbox to who knows what they are doing, wouldn't it be helpful if that person had a gearbox thread in his sig..........
