Check it out....No more broken v2 boxes! Milled , not cast crap

Pic looks like they are going to be 8mm bearings like their other gear boxes.

ooooooo shiny!!! They also released a milled gearbox and hopup unit for the Star m249. That actually makes the Star more enticing to me now.

i saw that the other week =) i kinda wanna order one LoL time to build another gun HAHA

hmm....magazine lips too...

hmm maybe i will build a STAR SAW with a metal gear box instead of a new computer.... decisions decisions.

0o0oh milled im on it.

The guarder magazine lips look more durable IMHO

:roll: noobs its all about the milled Ti GBs im going to make on my CNC mill once im a bit better with Mastercam and Softpart. :lol:

Platinum GBs

is anyone on here good with CAM..im still learning.I will have a Hass VM-2 CNC very soon, if you want to fuk around making GB parts IM me.

Well im new to this, so I may be wrong put im pretty sure all CNC machines work off the same kind of operating code known as G-code. Now the difference between CAM (computer assisted machining) programs and CAD ( computer assisted design) programs is with a CAM prog after the design phase it will help you write a toolpath and send it to the CNC system in G-code. Im sure there is ways to import CAD files to a CAM prog and write a toolpath for an existing design. Im pretty good with toolpaths, just lacking in the 3D design part of it. If someone wants to mock up a gearbox in CAD I will try to upload and convert it on a few of the CAM progs I have.

heres a sample of what we've done.

heres what my friends are doing right now.

thats awesome!

yeah let me see if i have a gearbox and see if i can get it cad'd up. hopefully it wont be an ics version.

Hey Freq, where can i order mag lips for them Wilson Combat mags?

If your design program will save in a .dwg file it will export to cam. We use cad to make 3d models all the time. If you write the program you can make them for the price of material(20-30 bucks). Plus you can do crazy stuff like put your name-team-serial # in it too.
