Airsoft Station/ Classic Army Review
Procuct: Classic Army 9.5"MK16 ECS Airsoft AEG Rifle.
order # 361362.
I did a complete teardown of my Airsoft gun, including the gear box. Found some really sloppy Chinese style craftsmanship. The"O" ring on my cylinder head was smashed on one side, the spring on the tappet plate was too long which limited the travel of the nozzle, and they only used 2 of the 4 motor mounting screws, one of which had a stripped head and had to be drilled out. Then there was one of the missing motor mounting screws held inside the armature of the motor by the magnets in the motor. Close examination of the armature inside the motor revealed damage from arcing to the copper segments that normally contact the carbon brushes. This damage is the direct result of having that screw shorting the current passing through the motor, like an arc welder blasting away at the copper conductors. Oh! this just keeps getting better:
The pricey Airsoft gun that I purchased was supposed to have (according to product description) an inline MOSFET, it doesn't, It is supposed to have a quick-change spring setup, it doesn't, It is as if they sold me a cheaper gun in an expensive box. Classic Army has no quality control at all. Then there is a very abridged user guide which they might just as well not bothered for all the help it is.
The Guys at the shop; speaking of the salespeople, they were efficient and getting the product shipped, no problems with the service in that respect, but they need to start raising hell with the Classic Army Company. We buy a lot of stuff from them (China) and they need to start caring about their products.
Desired outcome: If they would replace the motor and the cylinder "o" ring, I will do the repairs myself.
