1: If anything probably the first one, or go to a hardware store and everytime you find a different sized screw driver, throw it in your cart.
I ended up going with the Everybit set (the first one I linked), since it'll be useful for a lot of things other than airsoft. If there's ever anything I need that isn't in the set or is in a spot that the Everybit won't fit in, I'll go pick it up
2: The desk I work on is 4 ft by 2 ft with about 1.75 ft by 1 ft of work space, the rest is storage. If you like the table it could work. I don't recommend getting an entirely separate shelving unit for stuff.
How about something like this one? A friend of mine just bought one, and it seems like a good size for working on airsoft
For the tuperware stuff, go to a wallmart or a shopco or something and find containers a bit bigger than a spur gear so like 2 in by 2 in. The things you picked out could work, but they are a bit big, and you wont need 8 of them. The cookie pan thing could totally work though.
The ones I linked are only slightly bigger than that. You said 2" x 2", and those are 5cm x 6.4cm (approx. 2" x 2.5") and 3.8cm (approx. 1.5") deep. Before I order them though, I'll definitely check out Wal-Mart or something first
3: Yup, find a radioshack or a hobby store, or an electrical/hardware shop you'll be able to find just about everything. Shrink tube keeps things together, yes I do mean "plumbers tape" but everyone knows its teflon tape , the stuff is used for resealing parts and making screws sit tighter.
Ok
4: Greases and lubricants: Grease; either teflon grease or white lithium grease: Lub; ky jelly or as high a percent silicone oil you can find, I'm talkin 95%+
Any particular brands I should look for when looking for the grease? Any recommended places to buy from?
5: Gats; I would say that v3's are overall easier than anything with a v2. V3's are really tech friendly.
Ok. I'll see if I can get a boneyard AK or something else with a V3 and start with that
Also, if you haven't already noticed, I'm Canadian, so Canadian stores are preferred
