How to Upgrade a CYMA M14
- 1). Identify the parts of the weapon you want to upgrade. A few options to consider are picatinny style fore-end rails for mounting accessories such as lights, sights and lasers. Higher-powered batteries and a new gear motor result in longer shooting range, longer game play and better performance.
- 2). Verify that the weapon power is turned off. Disconnect the battery, and unload the weapon completely. Visually inspect the weapon to ensure no ammunition is present.
- 3). Remove the fore-end screws on the CYMA M14. Take off the factory fore-end. Replace the factory fore-end with the picatinny style fore-end rail. Now you can install other accessories made to fit on the rails such as flashlights and optics.
- 4). Remove the battery cover and motor gearbox cover plates. Disconnect the wires from the battery and the motor. Unscrew the motor, and remove the battery.
- 5). Install the new high-torque motor, and replace the cover plate. Connect the new 9.6-volt battery to the motor. As all available motors and batteries vary, consult the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
- 6). Unscrew the factory sights from the sight base on the weapon. Remove the factory sights from the top of the receiver. Install an optical scout scope or laser scope sight -- whichever you prefer -- in place of the factory sights. As all airsoft sights vary, consult the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
