D-boys Scar Internal Upgrade help

[flipper]

I am a newby and didn't know any better when I decided to purchase a D-boys Scar.  I have had it for a few months and I doubt I've put over 1000 rounds through it.  In any case the piston jammed.  I took it apart and basically the piston is now junk.  Since I will need to replace anyways, what other stuff should I purchase to make this gun better and more reliable.  Budget is $120 to $150.  If you can add links I would certainly appreciate it.

omg pretty much everything hahaha, D-boys internals are absolute junk. U might wanna invest in a completely new gear box. Just drop a new one in. Look for a good one in ur budget like a Matrix upgraded gearbox or something along the lines of that.

Eww...don't get a Matrix gearbox...

Guarder full tune up kit for the win.

Complete G&P gearbox AND a G&P metal body for $145. Then, when you have some more cash, replace the hop-up and barrel.


Actually...now that I think about it...you might want to take that $150, keep saving up, and just buy another gun. D-boys is known for crappy bad poor unreliable guns...I'd just sell it and cut your losses. That's what I did when I bought a d-boys "project gun"; I got tired of putting all kinds of money into it.

The external's aren't all that bad to be honest...internals just blow.

I like the looks of the gun so I'm opting to upgrade it.  I believe, I could be wrong, that the Scar is basically an M4 in the inside.  If I am correct, I think the parts I have listed below may work.  These parts are all in Evike's website.  I've actually had good luck with those guys.  Suggestions are welcome.  Is there an airsoft store in Maine? I know Army Barracks has the guns but I don't remember seeing any parts.

1 x  Systema Area 1000 Steel Reinforced Piston Head.
1 x  Modify 7mm Gearbox Bearing Set.
1 x  New Version Mad Bull Airsoft Black Python 6.03mm tight Bore Inner AEG Barrel. (509mm)
1 x  Guarder Stanless Steel Ver.2 Cylinder Head for Tokyo Marui Compatible A.E.G.
1 x  Matrix Ultra Precision Gun Smith Airsoft AEG Gearbox Shim Set (40 pcs)
1 x  Matrix / Element Airsoft AEG Gearbox Grease Set
1 x  Guarder High Precision Oil Tampered Nozzle for M16A2 / M4 Series Airsoft AEG
1 x  Guarder Super Lucid Chromium Plating Cylinder for MARUI M4A1/SR16 series A.E.G.
1 x  Systema Hop Up Bucking / Hop Packing for Airsoft AEG
1 x  Guarder Poly carbonate Piston for Tokyo Marui AEG Series

Here is a possible option http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_68_518&products_id=24818 it has a strange electrical motor connection but i'm sure that it could be made to work.

Add an ECHO-1 H-Nub to that list Flipper...and, if you can afford it, grab either a G&P or a King Arms Hop-Up unit as well.

The hop up in my Scar looks like the one in the link below

Does it have to be the same design?  The link below is what I'm guessing may work?

Last but not least the nub.  Is the link below correct?

I'm not sure if SCAR's use a proprietary hop-up unit or not...but you're gonna want to make sure before you go and buy a new unit. Yes, the link to the nub is correct. I have one of those in my Thompson and it performs VERY well.

If you don't want to replace the hop-up unit, you could use the money to grab a tightbore instead:

The madbull tightbore barrels are decent for the money. They're not gonna perform as well as a Prometheus, but then again they're not gonna cost you $60.

Th Madbull ultimate hop up looks like it should work and I have heard good things about it.   Also Madbull has started making 6.01 mm barrels that are reasonably priced they might not have the right length though.

I think you should just buy a new gearbox aswell... It would be well worth your while and does fit your budget. you will find your gun will shoot a lot better!
