I do alot of electrical work in guns, you'd be surprised at how much faster trigger response time can be if you re-wire with very high end wire and braid all the wires together. (+ I just started my que of installing trigger masters for about 6 people)

someone should really make a thread with links to websites like mechbox, articles and threads from other forums (much like beans vsr breakdown thread, which is really awesome) so there is some sort of archive started for people curious like me. I know im not the only one who wants to know as much as possible about there own gun.

Long narrow needle nosed pliers sometimes works, and a cut down allen key held in pliers works too.

I always do it with a long super skinny allen key that came with some strange hop-up from some company that I don't think exists anymore.

I've been thinking of starting an airsoft page on blogspot or something like that that will showcase all my reveiws and give me a place to actually do some ___ vs ___ testing.

We'll see during the winter months when I'm going stirr crazy from not having 1000 guns to work on, and when school starts to slow down..
