Airsoft CA Classic Army M15/M4 Dissasembly Guide Breakdown

[NinjaMoose234]

Thank you so much. I scored a free Dboys metal body off of my friend, and this shows the perfect way to get it apart.

Now how to get the sh*tty paint job of...

[ExiledAngelXV]

How do you fix that annoying receiver wobble?

[NinjaMoose234]

@ExiledAngelXV You don't.

[18001daniel]

Just thx man :)

[billydakid3]

yo dude i stripped a screw on my m4's handle . what can i do to unscrew it ? i don't have a drill or an excavator tho .

[billydakid3]

@billydakid3 never mind man , chizzled it out :D

[ThankYouSniper]

how do you take off the delta ring

[gundown64]

@ThankYouSniper You need to push down on it and then line up the slots/openings on it with the slots on the inner part. Kind of hard to explain, but if you take a look at it you should see. If you need to remove the next part, then that is just a simple nut. Wrap a towel or something around it to avoid damaging it then grab a wrench and unscrew it.

[ThankYouSniper]

@gundown64 thanks man, i got my armorer to let me use his armorer tools so i got it fast, thanks tho.

[hansfausto]

thank you sir for the quick reply.

......and thank you for saving my aeg

more power!

[hansfausto]

pls help me sir, all stock parts classic army m4, can it handle sp170 spring?

thanks!

[gundown64]

@hansfausto No, that is way to hot. There are no stock guns on the market that can. A sp170 would require a heavily upgraded and reinforced gun to work in. The highest I would go on a CA M4 is an sp120 or equivalent. That is equal to about ~400fps. Anything more and you are risking very quick wear and damage, not to mention your motor probably could not even pull it.

[NaWJeyJey]

fuck for the mag holder you say we need a 1,5 hex but at mine it does not fit?!?

what to do now?

[6BMX9]

i broke my gunnnnnnn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sam9116]

what kind of screwdrivers do u use to get the screws out,i've never seen screws like that before

[NotTheUsualChoice]

Have you had any problems with the classic army gearbox in terms of getting it to fit back together properly?

[lexmark2300]

Hey man, do you know how to take the delta ring out?

[MrSprett6]

do any1 know where i can buy a classic army gearbox? and does it come assembled?

[theKaarvaag1]

Thanks dude,really helped! I was wondering if maybe could make a detailed video on how to disassemble the gearbox as well? Would be great if you could!

[kucharski2030]

can you please help me iv tried evry thing to disasemble my dpms panther arms m4 and theirs still something holding the upper reciver on

[trickteam333]

Btw is that a good gun?



[trickteam333]

What kind of tactical sight is that ??

[johnnytheman888]

it the top reciever held to the bottom reciever by both or just the front pin?

[gundown64]

@johnnytheman888 Depends on the brand. Most plastic bodies like JG, Echo 1 Dboys etc are held by both pins. You can remove the on near the back and the top receiver will simply hinge on the first one, but you have to remove the one near the front to get it completely off.

Most metal bodies require you to only remove the pin near the front. The one in the back simply holds the gearbox more securely to the lower.

[Kizera]

nice paint job

[georgeSaSg]

i don't realy suggest you buying it, mine broke down 3 times: the trigger,the motor and the stock. i prefer tokyo marui

[JabbaThaBlunt]

pretty dope paintjob dude.

[gundown64]

@Mrloco0117 Yes you can. Heck, you can get a really really "good" gun for right around $200 now. And for $300, you can get some of the best on the market. However, three years ago that wasn't always the case. There were only a few brands that were really "good" out of the box, all the others, like my CA needed to be upgraded before they could be considered good in my opinion.

[skater03520352]

dont you have to re sauder all the wires back on.

[throcky1988]

Thanks man very helpful!!!!

[CubanRevival]

i would take off all my optics and such b4 i take off other parts

[WGCairsoft1]

i have a problem with mine King Arms m4 sr16 carbine. i got it one day ago and wanted to try it. When i started shooting it shot normal, but after 10 pellets it startet to roll out around 3 bbs at the same time out of the barrel. then i took another shot and a bb got stuck in the barrel. i shot on time and then everything stopped. i got the bb out, but now the rifle dont respond on anything? do you have a clew to me what i need to do to fix it? i used 0.23 bbs

[tobias75655]

Thx man, my gun was jammed but it shoots fine now!

[justanotheryootuber]

nice paint job. i love it. lol

[CheeseysHomeVideos]

well done guide, thank you

[xXRequiremXx]

my guns piston is jammed and i need to reset it, will opening the gearbox and manually moving it back fix this?

[gundown64]

@xXRequiremXx Yes it will.

[icepick69]

how did u change the front shaft? just bought another one and put it on?

because u see, i think i have the same model as u, but mine has theese sheep plastic front shaft wich the battery lies in. and u cant mount anything on them :S

please help!

[AirsoftGunsAndBbGuns]

grr idk if to get a vfc classic army or kwa m4. if i get a kwa m4 ill be a little tight on money. the CA is $270 vfc $280 kwa $300. thanks

[IsLaNdErBoY1]

how do u remove the barrel?

[FUTUREsniper13]

I have an SRC M16 Full Stock, but need to get into the gearbox but cannot figure out how. If ANYBODY could help me i'd appreciate it.

[cathalregan]

@koumrian The best way to get the entire outer barrel off is to use an armour's wrench or whatever it's called. Costs about $20 to $30

[LAXbeast702]

wat is a good sight 4 this gun? cause the front iron sight is really tall. someone pease give me some tips or info on removeing it would be nice

[bullmeatt]

my mag catch doesnt have any screw holes whatsoever. ive opened 5 different m4s and they all do but my CA m15 2010 doesnt

[gundown64]

@bullmeatt Ya, I believe the new ones are supposed to be like the real steel M4's in that you press the mag release all the way and then twist the other long piece off.

[laservader1]

cheers great help thnaks buddy ;)

[bigastrofan1966]

This video help me big time when I had to change the wires on my gun. I also have to put a longer barrel and do other things to it. His gun had slight difference than mine but it helped. Thank you so much for the help.

[17arri]

Do you know how to dissasembly the mag realease on m15a4 carbine blowback?

[Madwyvern]

Very clear vid, need to strip my mates AEG today to fix it any didn't want to ass arround without knowing the drill. many thanks ; )

[tboner2u]

700 $ aint much for a gun i spend around 1200-1500 $ on my gun x2

[gundown64]

@tboner2u $700 is a lot for a gun! Considering you can get an excellent gun for under $200 - Echo 1. And you can get a top of the line gun, besides Systema's, for around $400 - KWA and G&G.

$1200 for an airsoft gun is pretty much a waste unless it is a Systema, highly upgraded sniper rifle, or has real steel parts on it.

[christlubas]

for below $1200 get a real Springfield/AR15/2 Glocks...

1200 is so much! i agree with you

[tboner2u]

@gundown64 you also have to think about one thing i live in denmark and the prices are alot higher then alot of other places (sucks tbh) and i have got 3 rifles m15a4 classic army 120m/s 1200$ .. magpul m4 prob 120 m/s1600$ or more.... and a VSR g-spec that goes 210m/s it costs about 1500-1700$ all the weapons are fully upgraded

[PMAN46]

@gundown64 1,200 dollars on a gun. you might as well get a real ar15 with that money.

[IKEELYOUNOW]

@tboner2u dude you could buy a stagarms AR-15 for 1025. 1200 on a airsoft gun is just a waste. Your gonna be 18, so why not get a gun liscense and shoot for real. I dont understand why you would do that. I mean 500 is about my limit. Thats where you can get to real guns and why waste money on metal toys.

[geastthebeast]

@IKEELYOUNOW  you can acctually get a half decent shotgun for around $250 or a 30-30 for around $380. somethings fun to mess with, i allways liked the 30-30 lever actions.

[NiiCK5TER]

@IKEELYOUNOW but shooting real guns, and airsoft are so different it's kind of ridiculous you'd bring that up. Although fun, when you target shoot, you're just sitting there hitting paper. It may be more of a rush to feel the recoil, etc. but it isn't the same rush or fun as running around, shooting at moving targets, and getting shot at yourself. I mean $1200 is a lot to spend, but if this is your hobby, and you've been doing it for along time, it's understandable.

[IKEELYOUNOW]

@NiiCK5TER have you ever shot dude, seriously you dont get the carnal delight of taking a Saiga 12 and ripping apart a treestump shooting people with an airsoft gun. AIrsoft is beastin and i love it, but 500 dollars(includes mods, accessories, sidearm etcetera) is all im willin to spend on airsoft. I mean ive seen some saiga models for 499 i would rather have one of them then a 500 dollar airsoft gun, wouldnt you agree?

[blackcat7262]

@tboner2u, yeah, once you buy a good gun, like a ca m15a4cqb, new springs, 11.1 lypo, scope, crane stock, and all the other shit, its gonna cost allottttt

[blackoutsevi]

the front wires for the battery, do they come apart by force

[gundown64]

@blackoutsevi If it is the first time, it can be a little hard to get off. It shouldn't just slide off, you may have to give it a good tug.

[GhettoBlaster100]

you would have a weed leaf on your gun

[JegVilSeElgenX2]

because it's friggin' awesome ^^,

I think it looks sweet :p

[Koumrian]

How do you remove the outer barrel?( the entire barrel with the fore grips removed and everything) nice review on the gun

[jayvinarch]

$700 what... what parts of a gun can cause that much......

[gundown64]

$350 for the gun.

$80 for the ACOG

$60 for the battery

and around $200 in internal upgrades.

[GhettoBlaster100]

what about the weed stamp? lol

[whyusucksobad]

what the shit could you possibly spend 200 dollars on for new internals? 175$ for a brand new KWA m4 gearbox.

[gundown64]

@whyusucksobad Lol, it doesn't just include the gearbox. That also means barrel, motor, wires, etc.

[nuclearfish010]

as that weed on ur gun or just a coincidence ? (paint)

[baxstaber1]

looks easy

[foodf0rlife]

is that a pot leaf on your gun?

[GhettoBlaster100]

yeah

[snuffi94]

what kind of sight do u use on that gun?????

[tubzza]

how would i just get to take of the barrel / part of the gun so that i could change it and clean it

[xxDROCKxx]

about how much money do you have invested in this gun?

[gundown64]

Around $700.

[epiphonel100]

Nice job with the gun man might copy u

[hilliard20914]

i have a jg m4 and i need to know how to remove the auto and siem-auto selector

[SkwisgaarGetar]

Very nice gun. What silencer is that? I would love to have it whenever I finish my bar-10 project and start my m4 one.

[gundown64]

It's a Madbull Quick Silver. Not sure if they make that model anymore but there is lots of other kinds.

[SkwisgaarGetar]

damn. well i just like the silencer and hwo it goes over the outer barrel

[benitezsolano]

hola buenas noches disculpa me gustaria verlo pero con mas atencion ala iluminacion se ve muy oscuro y tambie quisiera que me esplicaras como colocar un R:I:S en el y que modelo deberia comprar de R.I.S gracias

[THESHORTONE100]

Dude sweet gun.. what kind of scope is that and whered you get it? Also where did you get your gun painted? thanks

[dom1940]

It's called an ACOG, you can get them at the majoroty of airsoft retailers.

[1airplane21]

what if my classic army m15 sportline trigger is like stuck on safe and if i move the selector swtich around the trigger is still stuck on safe? what does this mean is the tappet plate broken or watever?

[gundown64]

There is a spring that keep the trigger in the right position. It sounds like that spring is in the wrong place, missing, etc. I don't know if you are good at opening up you gun, butt hat's what you need to do to fix it.

[1airplane21]

where might this spring be? its not missing cause its worked up until last night.

all go to aex to see if they can fix it if they cant or my parents wont let me i might just have to do it myself.

[gundown64]

The spring is on the trigger. It fits onto the trigger so if you don't install it right, it won't work.

[1airplane21]

no i have not changed the gun in any way the gun just became stuck on safe and isnt moving i didnt install anything. the gun is stuck on safe so it can move like its on safe but if i move the selector to semi the trigger is still stuck on safe

[gundown64]

Well, there are many other things that could effect the problem.. If you are not familiar with disassembling your gun, I would suggest taking it to AEX.

[1airplane21]

what do you think it is?

[gundown64]

Well, there is a little plate on the opposite side of the selector switch with a screw. If that is loose, when you turn the selector switch, the plate wont move. You would need to tighten it. Not sure if that is what it is, but it sounds like it could be.

[gundown64]

Well, there are many other things that could effect the problem.. If you are not familiar with disassembling your gun, I would suggest taking it to AEX.

[1airplane21]

k ty ill open the gearbox sometime and take a look

[rockstarhonda]

does any body now how th take the barel off the m15a4 ?

[gundown64]

Right near the delta ring near the front of the body there is a screw that you loosen and then the barrel should slide right out.

[rockstarhonda]

Hey thanks for your help  and nice vid

[millnash12]

thanks for the vid it helped me alot.just some advice though u need to speak alittle louder it was hard to hear you

[joakimflore]

.. should I buy new gears and piston if I want to install a m120 spring?

and I have an CA m15a4.

[gundown64]

No, not at all. The CA can handle them fine. I have the stock gears in mine and it has an M120 in it.

[joakimflore]

do you think a gearbox version 2 will take a 400fps / 120ms spring, or will it be broken?

[gundown64]

The gearbox will hold up fine. The majority of version 2 gearboxes can take up to an M130. It depends on the brand but a CA can. If anything, its the gears and piston that would break or strip first, not the Gearbox.

[joakimflore]

do you think a version 2 gearbox will take a 400fps / 120ms or will it be broken?

[estongt5]

will this work for jg m4a1?

[generaltsao23]

The most helpful video ive seen yet

this is great cuz i have a CA sportline m15a4 and am putting a metal body on it! this is perfect!! THANKS

[pietzeekoe]

Is the sportline a nice gun have you had any problems with it?

[kidlebronjames23]

hey. i have my gun almost apart. i have a classic ARMY pmc and i cant get the mag release off? HELP

[gundown64]

Does it not have a screw somewhere on it? If not, try just twisting the button itself.

[geraldbaumgardner]

hey gundown64, i want to get a CA m15a4 carbine but i cant find one.. like no websites have one in stock.. where did u get yours from??

[gundown64]

I got mine from Airsoft GI, but look at Airsoft Atlanta. I just checked, they have quite a few in stock still.

[geraldbaumgardner]

thanks man

[soljarag2]

Sorry if this is a double post... the first time I hit post, it didnt show up.

When you put the motor back in the handle, does it have to go in a certain way?

And if I just want to get to the mechbox (to open it) do I have to take off the mag release?

Thanks!!!!

[gundown64]

Good questions. Yes, the motor does go in a certain way. The place were you put the red wire should be on the side were the trigger is. The piece were the black wire goes should be facing the stock of the gun. Im sure thats kind of confusing, I cant explain it well right now.

Yes, you have to remove the mag release to get to the mechbox.

[soulsniper7]

is  that weed leaf camo? on ur gun

we have the same pliers

[IONpaintball32]

hahaha definately! lol

[SlantyShanty]

dose it use a ver.2 gearbox

[gundown64]

Yes, Version 2.

[kirkscream]

classic army has weird names for their guns..lol..tnx for the video bro..it really helped me..

[shermo999]

nice paint job on the gun dude

[popcap200]

Ho remove the outer barell

[gundown64]

There is an allen screw above the barrel in front of the top rail and were my scope is after you take of the top RIS. Remove that screw or two and then the barrel should slide forward.

[KJDD787]

can u put a m4 ris on a m15

[gundown64]

Yes, the M4 is the same as the M15. The M15 is Classic Army's name for the M4.

[gunboys35]

someone plzzzzz! help does the classic army come with the hex wrench to get off the flashider to put on a suppresor! asap plz!!!!!! tell me???????

[gundown64]

No, it doesn't.

[edwintresco]

DUDE!!! you're the man. I had no idea how to take off that safety switch. I can't believe how easy it is.

[gundown64]

Yes, remove those two pins and the front sights will come off.

[Stewie4321]

Excellent, now one last question....where did you get it or what brand is it. Did it come with the battery....wow that`s a big battery....you must have upgraded the gearbox to cope with the extra power.......That`s not a carbine anymore, its a minigun .:-) My battery is a Firefox item.

[gundown64]

The PEQ box is Classic Army, of course, and the battery is G&P. The Gun is shooting at around 380 so yes it is upgraded, but the mah doesnt make the gun any more powerful, just last longer, it's the voltage that does.

[Stewie4321]

Thanks again mate, and great tutorial.

[Stewie4321]

Great tutorial gundown64, thanks a lot. Could you do me one favour and tell me the internal dimensions of your battery box. I have an 11.5 volt 2200mAh battery and a ras/rail assembly.The new battery will no longer fit inside the fore grip so I need the battery box to house the battery. Its 105mm X 35MM X 22MM. will it fit in the box I wonder. TIA

[gundown64]

Ya, sure. The dimensions are 134mm x 70mm x 25mm. That's as close as I could get o being correct. I have 9.6v 3300 mah in mine so I would imagine that yours would fit.

[gatchz]

many thanks for this video..hehehe

[geraldbaumgardner]

how is the metal on this gun? over all would you say it is a sturdy gun? cuz im trying to decide weather to get a classic army m4 or a ics m4... what would you recomend??

[gundown64]

Classic Army has arguably the best externals of any airsoft gun out there. However, ICS is going to perform better right out of the box. If your willing to upgrade the CA soon, then get that, otherwise, get the ICS.

[geraldbaumgardner]

ok thanks man.. yeah i was planning to get a lot of upgrades so i will probibly go with the CA

[CaRzRlIfE]

that was really good! i bought a new handlle/ grip and this was really helpfull so i knew wat i was doing when i was changing them.

thanks!

[gundown64]

Glad to help!

[bigboss5251]

thank you very much for this video bro!! it was killing me that i didnt know how to disassemble my rifle!

[PCSbball]

Hey thanks it was pretty helpfull

[DOG1ALLEN]

this video help me out, was hard to find but now i know how to strip my weapon many thanks

[Irishstud11]

i like your paintjob and the gun

[5aaron5]

thanks!

[5aaron5]

how do you remove the front sights from the m15? i recently got a new sight for mine and have no use for it anymore.

[gundown64]

There are two pins under it. Grap something small like a nail or screwdriver and hit them out with a hammer.

[skateandairsoft]

omg on 2:51 i would todaly use that for cqb

(lol no stock looks great on that gun)

[airsoftman33345]

thank you so much.

[gateilli]

when i get my gearbox out what position do i have to set my swith semi safe auto i broke my selector switch when i put my gearbox in the under part

PLZ answer me

[gundown64]

Well, safe is always the position you need to have your switch in. I'm not 100% sure what your trying to say, but I hope that helped.

[jumpthestump]

Thats a nice gun you got there man props. But I would go differently with the paintjob. Maybe a tan base then OD on top that would look so badass with the leaf stencils.

[buriedagirl]

hey is this the same for a echo1. im sure you know the body comes apart different on one but same concept right

[gundown64]

Yes, its mostly the same. The only difference is the Echo 1 has a two piece hop-up and it requires one extra step to get the gearbox out by removing the piece in front of the GB. If you need more help, feel free to PM me.

[bunnyalex15]

thanks that was helpful. but how do you put on a new spring? i dont want to disect my new ca m15 that far, i just wanna put a m120 spring on.

[gundown64]

You have to open up the gearbox to put in a new spring.

[yes1234657890]

Could you post another video of the M15 RIS's gearbox and how to rewire it to the back for a crane stock. I am planning to buy a crane stock (I am displeased with the battery box).

[bestmxer01]

go to mechbox . com to see how to take apart gear boxes. i found it very helpful the first time i took apart my gear box.

[kinyo513]

is this the RIS m15a4? or just the Basic m15?

[gundown64]

This the RIS.

[Killery96]

So how many steps would I need to take to install a new motor? If you need details, it is the Systema Long motor. If u DK, IDK, it's kool.

[gundown64]

Very easy. Remove the motor plate, disconnect the wires from motor. Take out the old motor and put in the new motor and connect wires. Put motor plate back on and your done. You may have to adjust the screw on the plate because its a new motor.

[NirvanaLord]

Yo, Gundown, where did you buy this M4?

[panzerkilla]

Hey can you make a vid on how to remove and put on ris? I will sub to you =)

[panzerkilla]

?Can you lol?

[gundown64]

If I had some to try out I would. With the CA, you just pull the delta ring and pull off the bottom one. With the top one, you just remove the screw on top and pull it off.

[panzerkilla]

Ok thanks dude =)

[flank23]

thank you, now I know how to take apart my airsoft m4 :) just hope I can get everything back together without an problems lol

[gundown64]

Glad I could help and good luck!

[NarsilsBane]

What silencer is that?

[gundown64]

A Madbull Quicksilver.

[ScoutSnipah]

nice! can u tell how i can unmount the sling swivel?? that's the thing for the sling.

i hope u know what i mean

[WorldOneProductions]

This helped a bunch when we disassembled our KWA and G&G M4s.

[paintbal]

Hey if your replacing a gearbox does it need to be like tested so its in line with the motor or can you just pop it in and it will work.

[gundown64]

Well, sometimes when you put the motor in the grip, it may be to far in the gearbox or to far out of it. In that case, you would turn the adjustment knob on the bottom of the motor plate. If you need further help, feel free to PM me.
