Ok I have a platform to start learning to do my own work with. It's a JG 6119 (M4 RIS with metal gearbox) I have an idea of what parts I want to incorporate into the learning build. But, is there any places on-line that can help me if I get in a jam in either assembly or disassembly? Any good resources for tear downs? I am electronically and technologically inclined so I don't think this should be too much of a task for me. All help will be appreciated.

yeah youtube is your friend here. pretty much any questions you have about airsoft products or maint. there is a youtube video of how to perform it or someone reviewing what your looking at buying.

some v2 gearboxes can be difficult to put back together. the anti reverse lever sometimes pops out of alignment when trying to close the GB. i have a magnet to put underneath the GB to hold the parts down to make it easier to close or you can use the JG motor instead of a magnet.
just remember to hold down the cylinder while opening up the gear box so the spring doesn't fly out. i also put a long needle nose plier in the spring guide end to keep the spring down and also remove it after the GB is opened. i recommend putting an old white hotel towel underneath to make it easy to find small springs and screws.
it's easy to over-tighten the GB screws. it's better to have them loose than over-tightened. it will strip easy if over-tightened. after awhile, you will get the feel for it (like tightening a spark plug on an aluminum head).

I guess I'm not the only one who steals the hotel towels!
