JG G36c Metal Bushings

[Remi_3255]

Hello,

Does anyone know how many mms the above gun requires? I see metal bushings come in 6mm or 7mm.

Thanks for the help.

6mm in stock jg g36c mechbox.

Thanks a bunch

One more question I should have asked in my origional post. What mm shims does this mech box need? Any recommedations on a cheap set.

[Syn]

a whole set and you have to do trial and error to find the best fit, not too tight, not too loose. oh joy.
Google or check this forum for a shimming guide.

one tip, when I took mine apart, I noted which shims when on which gears so I kind of had a head start of what thicknesses to start with.

On my second JG g36c mechbox I just got a Modify gearset and popped it in the mechbox. It is pre-shimmed.

Thanks Syn for all your help thus far,

Anyhow, from airsoftparts.ca can you recommend a set of cheap, but usable bushings?

[Syn]

I don't think there is much difference in price between the cheaper and the higher priced one. I think you just pay more for stronger metal but you also get added feature such as oil or double oil channel.

I am leaning towards this $15: http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...roducts_id=967
"Double oil channel design
These are made specifically for the old version Jing Gong gearboxes, which use thinner and slightly wider 6mm bushings. New version JG gearboxes take regular 6mm bushings."

The older JG g36c had the nylon bushing. I believe the newer ones all went to metal bushing preinstalled. Newer JGg36c is called version 3 with metal bushings.

You can Pm Jugglez (he owns airsoftparts.ca) he probably knows more.

But I just used a $20 set of bushings in mine but I noticed two of them kept falling out if I turend the half shell of the mechbox upside down. But it all fit in the end.
IIRC these ones I got from another seller http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...roducts_id=676

Hey Syn,

It was confirmed that my JG has a version 3 gear box. Does this mean that it already has metal bushings?

Hey buddy give this thread a read:

no you are confusing two different things.

ALL JG G36c have a ver3 mechbox. But Echo1 sold different versions of the gun exactly same as JG g36c. Echo1 for example took Jg guns and preinstalled the metal bushing so on the box of the gun it says "new version 3" of the gun "with metal bushings"

But version 1 of the gun although it had a version 3 mechbox had nylon bushings. THe version 3 of the gun (with ver3 mechbox) had metal bushings preinstalled.

When you take out the mechbox look on the shell from the outside, you will either see white nylon bushings 3 per side or you will see 3 grey metal bushings 3 per side.

If you already have metal bushings --->celebrate because you just saved yourself time and money.

AHHH, thanks for clearifying that up for me. Anyhow, i've got another newb question for you. What kind of grease do I use when I redo my gears and cleaned out all that nasty JG grease.

Hey Jugglez, thanks for that. I've read that like 20 times hahaha.. but i guess when I was reading it I wasn't really ready to take the gun apart so I didn't pay attention to those parts.

But thanks.

Edited: okay i see what you mean Jugglez.. I've read it over again and yes it does come with plastic bushings hahaha. Anyway, since you are keeping a tag on my posts you'll know what I need from you then!! hahaha.

I might see you Thursday at A51.

imo white lithium for the gears, and then find something silicone based thinner grease for the cylinder that won't eat the oring on the piston head.

I got a tube of superlube grease, waiting to trying a little in the cylinder, not sure if its too thin for the gears.

oh and drop of light weight silicone oil for mags, hopup chamber and barrel. only a few drops in total for all those parts mentioned, no point in over lubing which can be just as bad as not enough lube. eg too much lube on hopup, bb will be flying all over the freaking place until lube comes off and the the hopup setting will be more stable, consistent.

just reading this thread brings up a few minor questions for me...

1. i got a g&p lube set for when i re-greased my krakens gearbox. it had white lithium grease, bearing oil, and cylinder oil. since the cylinder oil goes in there with the piston and pistion head where the o-ring is, is that then safe to put in the hop-up also?

2. if youre not a serious gamer/skirmisher and only shoot your aeg's sometimes is it really necessary to upgrade to metal bushings?

3. ak's and g36 models all take v3 gearboxes and i have two g36 types with v3's in them. so to save me the time and trouble of taking apart some guns just to find out.. do all v3 gearboxes have the screw in area where the ak's selector lever goes? cuz i cant member if they did but i do remember that they have the hole where the gear goes from the selector lever to the other side to operate the selector plate

Perfect! this answered so many of my questions, that i've been sooooooo confused about! I've been told that I shouldn't have any kind of lube whatsoever in the barrel and the hopup.

Probably one final question for the day. Where would I find all these kinds of lubes? I know Jugglez has the sili oil, that's about it.

Again, thanks for all your help!

Well you have to keep the rubber (or whatever vinyl) hopup sleeve and nub flexible so it needs some kind of lube or it will dry out.

As for barrel it gets a drop of silicone oil just before I run a tiny piece of cloth through it with that plastic stick you got with the JG gun. So technically I did lube the inner barrel but it probably had most of it wiped away because of the terry cloth strip. Worst thing you can do is scratch the inner barrel so don't stick anything metal in there. Even put an extra drop of silly oil light weight in the barrel after cleaning will not hurt it as long as you do not overlube.

Finding lube can be hard. I just spent time googling and researching airsoft/paintball forums for lubes. I finally found the superlube at brafasco. I heard it is great for cylinder but I have not tried it yet but it sounds great for reading the ingredients synthetic teflon so it shound make my oring slippier than snot on a doorknob.

white lithium canadian tire
silly oil light weight jugglez.

I had a few fancy bicycle bearing greases that worked great on gears in the past but I decided to take it out in case any got in the cylinder and might eat the oring.

Also ebay or any buddies you play with could just spoon you a little in a plastic bag for a dollar.

1) I don't know much about the set sorry, likely a gun doc or the seller would know more.
2) No, just use it until the bushing breaks then go to metal.
3) All of the 9-10 Jg g36c I have seen so far, metal or nylon bushing version had the hole. This hole right?
