Classic Army Metal Bushings

[Jvanfrayen]

Could any one give any thoughts on classic army bushings

i've used both their bushings and bearings in 6mm, and i've never had a problem. mind you, i've never had a bushing or bearing problem in any gun i've worked on, except using ICS bushings with tm sized gears and vice versa.

I've used and maintained 30 CA MP5's that used the sintered metal bushings from CA. Good bushings but like always, make sure you apply a good high temp grease in the axle hole. Make sure its grease not oil.

I have a half-dozen CA 6mm mechboxes out of M15's. I would like to point out on ALL of mine that Systema bearing bushings do not fit into CA mechboxes (too big), which would leave me to believe that CA bushings will sit loose in most mechboxes.

wow, wierd. i'm fanatical about bushing fit and have tossed mechboxes in the trash if the bushings are too loose to be "driven" in. i used some of their bearings just a couple of weeks ago in a g&g mechbox with no issues. this fellow had them sitting around unused for probably over a year until i installed them. different production batch maybe or different o.e. manufacturer for yick fung?

[Jim]

Its not the batch, the bushings and bearings comes from several manufactures.

that stands to reason.
