KWA Metal Body - KA mech box fit issues
Anybody worked on a KWA metal body before....I have been having issues fitting in my new King Arms meck box the body pin holes and the mech box pin hole are not lining up?
do I have to grind away some to make it fit? If so Hazard got any time to fix for me?

any help would be great....

Thanks

are the body holes to small or the mechbox holes? It sounds like a quick custom fit fix to me.

They just don't line up Critter...
I can see these tabs in the back of the metal body that push the mechbox maybe a 16th too far foward....at least I think it's those tabs, but then i'm worried that if I take them out or grind them down a bit will that allow the mechbox a side to side movement when there shouldn't be?

Mechbox once PINNED wont move . It will stay stationary. Hence the rear pin and how its held in place as well by the handgrip..

WORST come to Worse.. You need a new shell.

You still have the KWA shell? Can always toss in the KA stuff in there.. Just so you have a backup if shit goes bad.
