This is a project that I have just recently begun to work on with an ICS full metal MP5SD. The stock parts in it have finally given out and I plan on turning it into a small scale cannon like my echo1 MP5A5.
Goals / Objectives
Damaged and Undesired Parts
Piston and Piston Head
The piston in this gun is made from aluminum with first tooth made of steel. The last few rows of teeth have started to wear down and there is considerable damage to the very last tooth.
As for the piston head....its crap. Its nothing more than a simple plastic head with one single port in the middle.
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head is not in bad condition at all but just is too fragile for my taste. Its plastic with a metal nozzle and I would just prefer to go with a full metal unit that also has two o-rings for better air seal.
Other Problems
Solution
Progress
new stock (cyma full stock)
Goals / Objectives
- Chrono around 400 FPS
- Wire to the rear
- replace all damaged and worn parts

Other Problems
- Noticeable gear wear
- Shimming
- Cheap / old wiring
Solution
- New Complete Gearbox! (solves all the problems as far as internals go)
- Switch collapsible stock to standard full stock.
Progress
new stock (cyma full stock)
