Gearbox Help!

Sep 18, 2004 8:23pm
Hey, I recently just got my mp5 back from snoopy, I put a 50 round mag through it and now it does not work. You can hear the internals trying to move, there is a small sound from the trigger. It's not the battery because it works in my friends m16, and so now I must undergo the task of taking the thing apart to try and figure out what is up. I need any help I can trying to do this, online manuals showing what parts go where, pesonal pictures or explinations and how the frick do I get the gear box out of the lower reciever because even though it appears that I have remove that bi tch wont move. I have to work from 2pm to 9pm and I will be home around 9 30, so any help from fellow sacair players would be greatly appreciated. I've never sucessfully taken a part a gear box and gotten it to go back in, so I need all the help I can get. Thanks!

if its got a more powerful spring in it that may be the problem, if the battery doesn't have the power to work that spring it won't turn, that would explain why it would work in ur friend's m16 if his m16 is stock, or close to stock.

first thing i would try, simply because its the easiest, is try loosening up the plate under the handle a bit, if that doesn't help then put it back how it was and try a bigger battery. btw, what size battery are u using? i don't think an m100 needs much...
