How to Fix a BE SM8 Black Widow NON-Working Rifle From ShortyUSA

How to Fix a BE SM8 Black Widow NON-Working Rifle From ShortyUSA
Update 11/9/2011: Been awhile but I have some news, ShortyUSA has run out of Black Widow's for quite a long time now. The gearbox is not strong enough to support stronger springs and powerful motors. I recommend getting an entirely new gearbox if you wish to upgrade. This is instructable may not apply to everyone who bought a broken Black Widow from Shorty, you may have to buy a new o-ring depending on the problem.

BE means Both Elephant which is an airsoft company in China.

MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT ALL PICTURES, THERE ARE VERY IMPORTANT NOTES!

You can buy these guns for only $10! Shorty USA wants to get rid of them because they are all broken. But what I found out was that the o-ring was placed in the wrong spot.
Things Needed:

1)Hammer+chopstick
or
2)Steel Rod
or
3)Drill bit

Update 11/9/2011: Goggles
Screwdriver
gloves (optional)
pliers (optional)

Do you have any pictures of the trigger section from the inside? I took mine apart, and the entire little mechanism exploded out towards me. I have all of the pieces, but I dont know where to put them! Thanks

I put it back together, but i dont know where two of the springs go, so the trigger gets stuck, i need to see it like it is in one of the pictures on this step, but the pliers are blocking the view. Its good for now, its just the trigger gets stuck sometimes.

I'd been considering doing this for a while, but I didn't want to spend the money. If you know anything about airsoft guns, do you think this could reliably take an M120 spring, a higher end gearbox, motor, etc. and get a good gun for ~$150?
