Ok so im really really new, i've been on the board for months but my girlfriend and I finally got guns yesterday and will be out soon, had one question though, this is where you know exactly how new I am. I got a marui Mp5 and a classic army M15a4 I was curious as to how you change the orange flash hider to the black one, I noticed a small pin in the hider, how are these taken out. Thanks a lot everyone.

What you need to do is take a butter knife or small screwdriver and put it thru the little slits in the flashhider and twist off . Some models are counter clockwise and others are clockwise . Once you start turning it you should find out which way it will move . If you have any problems bring them back to the shop and we can do it for ya

You also may want to undo the set screw you were just talking about in your orange flash hider (You called it a "pin") before trying to force it to turn, or you could strip some of your threads. You should use a 1.5mm hex wrench to remove that set screw.

um no there is NO set-screw on the orange flash hiders...i repeat no set screw... lol just use the method chris used above or even use some pliers.

Well I know of 2 uneducated peps that don't seem to look close enough to see that thare are NO set screws for the orange covers .

ok ok ok ok to settle this down here we go, the CA M15's flash hider has no setscrew the TM MP5s have a set screw, i just looked and yes there is a set screw on the TM MP5, but none on the CA M15.

lol

Yep. I've gotten a couple of guns with orange plastic tips and they were held on with set screws. I'd rather play it safe and check than "force" anything. That's what amatuers do.

Never had any Orange Flash Hinders on any of my AEGs.

Oh yeah, one last thing, NewRecruit12. If your flash hider is just glued on, instead of forcing it, another thing that I've found to work is to use a blowdryer to heat it up to soften the glue. It usually makes it easier to remove. Good luck and enjoy your new guns.

Hopefully, it will be just like my SG1 flashhider. Quick flick of the wrist and off it went! Wait we are talking about Flash hiders right ? :wink: :roll:

oohh okk chickenfuckers!

ohhhh!! thats it...ill have to pull out all my tricks now...

Wait, Ronnie. Can you do that as a pie chart instead? I learned about visual aids in one of my classes before and they said that pie charts work really gooder.

Uneducated ...Yes that is what I said ..... Are you saying that you know EVERYTHING about airsoft guns ? I know I don't . I don't know crap about lots of things . I will be the first to admit it and admiting it is half the battle . ( Phew I guess I get my first step coin ) . Now as far as you go snoop , You know I have respect for you and your airsofting abilities , So why you would state openly that you would not be bringing any of your guns to our shop is beyond me , but I guess you have the right to state that .

"my girlfriend and I finally got guns yesterday" you girl freind plays? damn i wish my girl friend just didnt make fun of me for playing with toy guns but to have a girl freind who even plays your a lucky man.

I hate it when I don't quote and posts land between the one I'm replying and my response. Dangit.
