Hey YHR, I'm having a buddy of mine machine a new outer barrel sleave to cover the airsoft tube. it should help make the barrel look more too scale without just using the gun tube. when I get it i'll post some pics too see what you guys think, and if it looks good maybe have him machine some extras for anyone who would like to try it. Yeah my black wire from the micro switch came lose too, fortunately i can tell where it gets soldered back to. So far thats my biggest complaint poor solder work.
