What are the current gearsets that are worth looking into?

[Rogerion]

I'm looking into replacing my old gearset 18:1 with a M135 Prometheus spring, no idea though which one to pick, since I've heard some good opinions about SHS gears, but in my local store i could also get a set of E&L gears or Guarder gear sets.

Any thoughts on those particular gear sets or any other?

Are you looking to change the ratio or anything? Also - where are you based? M135 seems a bit hot.

It's completely fine, in Poland the upper limit for most rifles is 450fps.

I don't want to change the ratio, all I really need is a proper set of gears that wont break after one or two mags.

sorry to half hijack

if a website says it fits a v3 gearbox. does this mean it fits every v3 gearbox? are they all interchangeable? gears / pistons etc?

Yes, a set that fits standard v3 gearboxes WILL fit every standard v3 gearbox.

Special sets for special v3 gearboxes WILL NOT fit other v3 gearboxes.

Same logic applies to other gearbox versions.
(if I'm wrong, please correct me)

Yes, standard v3 gearsets are interchangeable.

Shimming has to be checked of course.
