Jam Sandwich Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Long story short, I've stripped a few of the treads on my Cyma AK's gearbox, I've re-tapped the treads but have just striped again, and not even with any real force, so I'm now looking for a new gearbox shell. I'm only really considering ones that have a quick change spring for ease of disassembly, however all I can find for V3s is this Zinc Alloy shell that will be just as prone to striping the treads or a Retro Arms one that will hold up but is probably out of my price range. Does any one know of any thing that's might be a bit more affordable but still have a quick change spring as all I can find are just plane bog standard shells.
AK47frizzle Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Not a quick change, but super high quality: https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/ultimate-gearbox-version-3-with-8mm-bushings-7149-p.asp] I own the v2 version and it's super good.

Gunfire are selling the Retro Arms one for cheaper. https://gunfire.com/en/products/reinforced-gearbox-skeleton-cnc-v-3-qsc-1152207528.html There is this Specna one but not sure of the material. https://gunfire.com/en/products/reinforced-qd-v3-gearbox-shell-with-microswitch-1152221103.html And an alu Specna arms one for 90 ish. https://gunfire.com/en/products/aluminum-cnc-gearbox-v3-frame-qd-1152221126.html That Retro Arms one looks amazing. Wouldn't mind making a custom G36 build with that.

(Learnt from experience with a V2 gearbox that had a microswitch and wouldn't fit a receiver).
Jam Sandwich Posted July 18, 2019 Author Posted July 18, 2019 @Asomodai Thanks for that, I'll probably end up getting that Retro Arms one as that a decent price for that. @UKCYukarin That's good to know, also the material is just listed as "metal" so probably just another Zinc alloy shell anyway
Iceni Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 APS do a complete v3 drop in box for £65. Including the QC spring system.https://www.targetszone.co.uk/aps-v3-8mm-silver-edge-qd-bearing-gear-box-set-rear-wire-2425-p.asp
