I'd make sure you like the DMR/Sniper role before investing in a sniper rifle. They cost big bucks to upgrade to the point where they're accurate enough to warrant using over an AEG.

Opened up my gear box but found nothing broken. There was a broken screw on the trigger assembly, but that was locked in its socket. I checked the pinion gear on the motor too, and found it to be loose. Even tightening that, the gun still shows the same symptoms when fired. I'm going to order a new set of bushings, a new o-ring for the piston, and a new pinion gear for the motor since I said that it already had wear on it. I'm hoping that a cleaning of the gearbox, and a new shim job will fix the problem. The motor seems to be spinning fine when we isolated it from the gear box. The gears themselves seem to be stuck, but have no damage to them. Also, I really don't like how the tappet plate reaches over the sector gear(the gear to the top right). But I think that's how all gear boxes are.

I can't see the spring for the anti-reversal latch... If that's gone you'll need a new one and it's the cause of your problems.
And yes, the tappet plate is supposed to sit on top of the sector gear like that.
The spring for the anti reversal latch is there, I made sure it stopped the gears from turning the reversed direction every time before reassembly.
Magpul Ladder Rail Covers finally came in today:
Cut one in half for the two side rails (fit perfectly) and the long one is along the top rail so I don't cut/scratch/grind up my fingers on the sharp top rail when I work the charging handle. The ones on the side rails make it infintely more comfortable. I'm not sure what it is about the material that Magpul uses in their products but it's just awesome to hold onto and feel.
Fixed my SCAR finally! And of all days to do it, it's my birthday. Sorry for the lack of pictures, anytime I opened the gearbox up my hands got all greasy. It turned out being a huge goose chase since the problem was the motor height and not the gearbox (as freelancer suggested from the beginning). I originally thought that I adjusted the grip enough, but turns out I just didn't have the experience to know what tightness felt right. Well now I do, and it was a great learning experience to open up the gearbox so many times. I ended up re-shimming and re-lubing the gears, so it was all worth it in the end. I leave for school again tomorrow, but I'll have pics of my full load out the next game I go to. I got my MK23 with holster, and my bungie sling in the mail with my parts.
Oh, and I'll never make this mistake again:

So I first tested the gearbox working with just the battery hooked up. When I fully reassembled the entire rifle, my dad suggested that I test dry fire again. Little did either of us know, there was still a round in the inner chamber all the way back from the day when it first broke. So when I fired, to both of our amazement, there was a LOUD bang against the wall on the far side of the room. Luckily I was aiming below the waste and downwards. Unluckily, it completely went through the paint and almost through the dry wall itself, from across the room! At least now I know the spring lost none of its power :D
Haha, motor height can be a bitch to get right if you're unfamiliar with adjusting it. As for your negligent discharge, always use a barrel plug or barrel bag when test firing without shooting glasses. If you had shooting glasses on, doesn't really matter haha. Hell I wear my sealed shooting goggles when taking gearboxes apart due to the danger of parts flying out into your eye. An anti-reversal spring to the eye would hurt like a bitch.
Soon I'll get this for my M4

Lot o' mags for m4. I'm gonna duck tape a pair of 2 together for a poor mans way of speed reloading. Btw thanks Freelancer :d
Don't get the flash mags if you're gonna get some pmags, I'd just get four of those 30 round pmags for $40 (They're $9.99 each not for four). I personally like the 90-100 round mid-caps myself, and like I said, I think those flash mags still rattle. If you get one do a review on it.
Speaking of midcaps, I want to use them instead of highcaps, but the only one I have has problems feeding. Apparently I gotta lube it up and load, unload them a few times? How would I lube it with silicone oil that is not in a spray?
