I recently made a trade with another airsofter and i found that the shell was missing some ball bearings and the spring was bent. where can I find a replacement for this. I live near carpendersville and there are very few airsoft stores around that i can get to. The shell just releases the gas once i fill to a certain point (like in .25 seconds)
Airsoft belongs in different - outdoors interest. You heard precise. They intentionally manufacture airsoft grenade launchers somewhat too small to chamber a genuine 40mm grenade . it somewhat is to stay away from the possibility of duplicate launchers being changed to settle for stay rounds. for a similar reason, they do no longer look to be allowed to make airsoft launchers with good rifled barrels (some have pretend rifling which looks precise from a distance, yet is relatively opposite rifled - raised ribs in preference to inset grooves).
Get it online, just google it in the shopping section.
Madbull grenades use 4mm bearing balls. Most other brands use 3mm bearing balls. I have not been able to find any metric bearing balls in any big box or local hardware stores, and SAE bearing balls will not work. You can buy 4mm and 3mm steel bearing balls from McMaster-Carr online. When I only need a few 3mm bearing balls, I get them off eBay. Some RC car differentials use 3mm bearing balls, so you can get 10 for less than $3 shipped. The springs are a bit different from maker to maker. Ball point pen springs do not have enough tension to effectively keep the shell from misfiring in your gear. Your best bet will be to either bring the existing spring with you to match it at the hardware store, or bring the valve and plunger to test fit springs. (Do NOT bring the whole shell to the store. That would be very unwise.) Good luck, D
Any 3mm ball bearings will do. You should be able to get them in any worthwhile hardware/engineering store. edit: I double checked for you. If it's a 40mm grenade and has eight ball bearings, then they're definitely 3mm. If it's a 40mm shell with 4 bearings, then you need 4mm bearings. As for springs, one from a clicky pen will work fine. There's a great guide to moscart shells here: www.arniesairsoft .uk/forums/in... You may need to register to view it though.
