pain Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hey iv been looking at the king arms sig 556 but stumbled across a thread on a forum denoting that they suffer from a weak built gear box. It said something along the lines of the rear of the gear box is to thin and brittle so breaks easy and so does the the part where it connects to the stock. I cant find anything any where to refute this so was wondering if any owners/members/ techs knew other wise ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said something along the lines of the rear of te gear box is to thin and brittle so breaks easy and so does the buffer tube for the stock. I would find anything any where to refute this so was wondering if any owners/members/ techs knew other wise ? This is just a guess, but from the look and layout of the Sig rifles, I'm guessing they use a version 2 gearbox. So if there are any problems there are almost infinite numbers of alternate parts you can buy to upgrade, so if anything does break, you can sort it out for probably about £40 tops if you know what you're doing.

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted June 28, 2012 Supporters Share Posted June 28, 2012 Same things apply to the V3 as well, everything is replaceable, I'd say go for it. It might end up being fine and all the things you've heard are just one person's bad experience that people spread around so much that it became considered gospel.
