Opened it up finally... Gets decent compression.

The plastic bushings on the gear that the motor goes straight to are worn out, though, and the gears all need a shim-job, since there's no shims at all. There's no real wear on the gear teeth, including the pinion gear, though. Only 1 tooth out of all the gears has a small flaw. The teeth on the plastic/polycarb piston are still almost like-new, even.

Anyone got some shims I could have? I hate asking for stuff, but I have no money. I can make you some jewelry, or maybe do some work around your place or what not.

Don't bother calling "Surrender" on me, unless you are A) Right by me or B) Shooting 450+ with .20's. I WILL shoot you if I see you, otherwise. I am stubborn, and don't like to surrender. Consider yourself warned.

Got new bushings, and Exarach shimmed it for me, and installed the bushings. Gearbox sounds great now! Didn't sound bad before, but its quieter than it was.

Now I need to test the hop-up spring he gave me, once I make a new front body pin for my M4 tomorow. Stupid me lost my other one, lol.
