this video helped me, a newbie who just got his arcturus karambit tramendously. there is no disassembly video for the karambit but i discovered its almost identical to AR. without this i'd probably break the shit out of it so thank you kindly sir.
top video, identical in breakdown and internals to their GR15/HK416, only the bolt release is different. Solidly built, know what you mean about the microswitch trigger, works ok but i'd like the ability to fit a trigger mosfet.
just asking because i have the 416, does the disassembly change significantly in order to take into account the ambidextrous selector and the different bolt release? i'll have to do some maintenance on mine some time soon and i wanted to be prepared
and another question, a bit off topic, would you able to change out the gearbox for a more "standard" one? not planning to do it but the fact that you can't put in a mosfet made me think about it
@@enricopravato6677 The ambidextrous fire selector is driven via a rod that goes through the gearbox to the second selector mount and the selector switch screws to it, the bolt release come under the gearbox casing just above the mag-release and feeds into a hole in the press down bolt release button/switch soo when either side is depressed the whole bolt release mechanism moves as one. Once installed with the gearbox, if you look up through the mag well you can see it running under the gearbox. You'll need t remove the bolt release first, mag release is easier to remove once its out. Tap the pin holding the bolt release on the left hand side of the gearbox/lower receiver first. Depress the bolt release on the right hand side of the receiver and pull the left hand side bolt release - which has the arm that connects it to the right hand side, out first. You can get the other part of the bolt release out after that. Mag release , press the button on right hand side of receiver in all the way and unscrew the release from the left hand side until it comes all the way out. Watch the tension spring that puts tension on the release to allow it to spring in an out. After that (and the body and trigger pins are removed) you can wiggle the gearbox out of the receiver,. When you replace the gearbox in the receiver watch the anti-reversal release down where the pistol grip screws to the gearbox has fitted through, catches up easily against the receiver unless you manually press it to feed through the pistol grip aperture in lower receiver.

Bro as its uses micro switch, therefore the trigger is unique to the GB case. Do you know any type of trigger sets compatible with this GB? switch brake mosfet. Fits nicely in the GB. Yet i cant find a trigger sets that is compatible with the gearbox. Maybe gelblaster trigger could fit? any experience?
Hi bro, I'm looking to get one but I have v2 g&g gearbox with a p* in it , do you think swapping gearbox will be an issues with the fire selector or do I need to order a other fire selector before installing thank you and greats videos 📹 😀 👍
Would a M125 spring be okay to put in to this replica? Had a spare one, saw a very considerable FPS boost, but want to make sure the gearbox itself and the motor would in theory run fine if the stock one is an M120.
Should be fine but it would be wise to get an aluminum spring guide and cylinder to prevent the extra power snapping them. It's very unlikely that such a subtle increase would damage the parts but the last thing you wanna hear in the middle of a game is that *snap* sound plus it gives you the option to go higher if you find a field that allows it. It's 50/50 to replace the cylinder nozzle to something aluminum like a Lonex or Prometheus. This adds extra weight to the cylinder but increases durability. Honestly the stock one has great seal and works well.
Hi, no matter how much i try, i just cannot dissasemble the stock ring. Its just so tight and i cant by any chance get it off. I triend pliers but nothing. D you have any solution for this problem ? And how exactly did you do it ? Thank you so much for reply.
Hello! It just came off, it might be easier with an armourers wrench to lock into the sections in the stock ring to loosen it off. It needed a fair amount of force to get it going, but once it started it flew off. good luck with it. Pheas
A late comment, but my motor seems to be getting hot quickly. What could I do to change this? If I wanted to upgrade the motor, which ones would you recommend? Thanks Pheas
Hello! If its heating up... It could be because of resistance in wiring, if it's recently only just started heating up, then it could be damaged trigger contacts... Would be worth having a tech look at it first to see if they can ID any issues. If you want the motor anyways... A high tpa motor will deal with any strength of spring and shouldn't heat up too much, unless you have a MOSFET with full on active breaking. Pheas
Hello! unfortunatley not, you would have to replace the shell with another one that isnt for a microswitch... that said, if you removed it, you might, MIGHT, be able to fit an optical one that replaces the trigger block, you can always solder a mosfet like the AB++ on to the switch and get some of the features of a full mosfet. Pheas
I do not unfortunatley. You will need to remove the nuts at the base of the handguard where it attaches to the body, the whole thing should slide off then. Then the barrel nut can be removed if you are also swapping that out. Pheas
Hi! I have a question. Can I change the gearbox in these AR15s for a Cyma, G&G, etc. gearbox, or do I have to make modifications to fit another gearbox in it?
The semi auto on mine has stopped working after changing out the gears for a different set, it seems the little cut off lever isnt dissenging the trigger, any ideas what might be wrong?
Hello! Sorry to hear that. I am guessing the cur off lever requires their own brand of gears, so I would look to replace it with an aftermarket generic (good) one, something like the ASG ultimate cut off or similar to see if that helps / fixes it. Pheas
Hello, if you check the desccription for the video, the batteries for it are linked, they are in the unboxing of it as well which is here: ruclips.net/video/GJL-tSMPqHE/видео.html Pheas
Hello! In theory any version 2 gearbox should be compatible and fit... but I haven't tried to fit anything different in one before. I would expect that a generic CYMA or other brand gearbox should fit nicely enough though. Sorry I can't be more help! Pheas
Hello can u help me i change my spring too a m110 spring and the motor are heating should i chnage to an m100 spring or change the motor and the gears?
Hello! if the motor is getting hot, then its working hard to turn over the spring, you might need a higher TPA (high torque) motor to pull it more effeciently with less heat. You might also need to look at the shimming as if the shimming is too tight then the gears are hard to move, which the spring will add to, putting the motor under stress. Pheas
What’s with that gigantic barrel nut? 😅 how would I go about replacing the handguard? What other handguards are compatible with the ARCTURUS AR series? I should’ve taken that into consideration before ordering my AR-08 Sword.
Hello. Handguards usually come with their own barrel nut, so the stock one will come off leaving the standard sized thread underneath. Then you can fit your new handguard with no issue. Pheas
@@PheasAirsoft thanks for the reply! My AR-08 finally came in! I’m just having trouble taking the hand guard off. 🤔 I loosened the two screws on the 6 o’clock position but it’s on super tight! Am I missing something? 🤔 it also has two sets of weird blocks that the screws go into, and I can't remove it for the life of me! (AR-08 version)
@@Callsign_Kishin Could be a grub screw somewhere that needs loosening off too, or just give it a good tug as they have tight tolerances so everything is snug together. Pheas
@@PheasAirsoft haven't found any grub screw or anything. Tried using a heat gun on the barrel nut section cause my local tech said they might've glued it. I had no luck today. Might just have my local tech handle it so I don't risk destroying it trying to figure it out myself. When I first brought it to my local shop, the tech and I even tried both pulling it in two different directions like a game of tug o war. No luck even then. So, gonna have him handle it.
You could replace the outer barrel with a shorter one, cant remmeber if its actually a two piece barrel, in which case, its even easier to put a shorter piece on to shorten the outer. Pheas
Hiya. You will need to open up the gearbox to fit an aster and the quantum trigger. Most of what you see in the video is needed to get the gearbox out and open. Pheas

Hey ! Thanks for you videos :) What is your recommendation between an ARCTURUS AR and a DOUBLE EAGLE M904H reviewed. I will upgrade it with an SHS high torque motor and 12:1 gear, barrel, r-hop, m100. Thanks a lot !
Hello! That is a touch call, for me I think I would have to go with the M904 just because the internals are a little more "on spec" for other parts to go in easily, the mosfet is oustanding and will make a difference for you in the long run with those gears and motor upgrades. The arcturus is sold though and would make a good set up, but the gearbox (particularly the trigger block is off spec) Pheas
They could fit a MOSFET I believe... But it can't be an optical one without serious modification to the shell of the gearbox. It would need to be a wired in MOSFET. Pheas
Hello! I didn't, but I can add it to the list to get, historically I haven't had much luck with APS in general and find them a bit... lacking in quality internally and break often, but I am willing to get things in if it is what people want. Pheas

I honestly am not sure, if the HPA engines require the traditional (TM style) trigger block, then this wont take an hpa engine with the current gearbox shell. But you can swap it out for another shell. Pheas
Going through this struggle right now. In short, no. Not easily. I have had to 3d print a whole new V2 gearbox shell for it and I then had to dremel down the shell of the gearbox because it wouldnt fit in the lower without cutting off about an inch towards the back. I also had issues with the engine not aligning with the hop up system in the barrel and causing the nozzle to get stuck open, which then caused air from my tank to continuously flow. I also had to replace the mag release because the one that comes on the gun doesn't work with a normal V2 gearbox. Save yourself a hassle and headache, get a different base if you're wanting to go HPA. I have basically made a whole new gun because I had to even 3D Print a whole new lower just to get it all to work right. I wish I saw this 2 years ago.
