Cheeseman and I are yet at another project, this will be LONG so stay tuned.
This is a project to resurrect an MK46 from alright to Amazing.
So bought this gun at good price of $600 of which $100 were given back for fixing the issues this gun had:
- no mag
- terrible wiring
- terribe shimming
- cracked stock link
- broken feed tray tab
Bought replacments parts:
- metal BNIB (A&K) feed tray (shipping)
- new wiring (done)
- new gears (shipping)
- sorbo pad (done)
-Madbull m120 (done)
- tamiya small connectors (shipping)
FIRST: Replacing the Wiring

SECOND: Motor connection

NEW STEP Recieved the A&K feedtray, and as DarkAngel suggested it would fit it
DIDNT., so pissed off, Cheese and I decided wtf we already have a project underway, might as well mill the thing to fit, so we did, and came out amazingly solid. here are the pics.

Back slip in tab comparison reveals the problem of not fitting into the STAR body.
side comparison, STAR is thin, A&K is thick
Milling so it maches the STAR feed tray slip in tabs.
Filing the buttons since they were too long and wouldnt fir into the body
putting the feedtray together
Fits perfect

THIRD: Modify new Torque up gears swapped in, oiled up, hard hop up rubber and m120, bb modify piston head, and shimmed.
gear box put in the main body, all thats left is to assemble it and put in a large connector on it.
