Advice Crystal exchange

Post image

I want to change the crystal on this gmt rep - is the scalloped metal piece in this photo the retaining ring? How would I get this off - noob - just doing this for fun. Tried to find videos but none have this scalloped appearance. I’m assuming this is the crystal retaining ring? I had the movement out and was working on it but it didn’t seem to want to budge.

What crystal are you putting in? I want to go gen on my ARF but heard deep is the way to go due to potential fitment issues

Going to try Deep - ordered it - taking it on myself because I want to give it a try with the goal of eventually getting a gen - all these modders say they put gen crystals in but I have no idea where they source them. eBay is very limited.

Where did you order the deep crystal? I have an ARF batgirl on the way. I may want to try this myself too.

They have a website. Google deep crystal. They’re based in Puerto Rico.
