The threads on the stock 11.5" barrel is CW (14+mm). The 18" barrel is CCW (14-mm).
You aren't wrong. Upgrading the motor increases the wear on the piston, since the gears would cycle faster. A good fix to this is shimming the gears properly, and setting the angle of engagement. I would also radius the gearbox shell as it is VERY fragile, and also installing sorbo pad.

Fifth: Looks like Magpul is or is going to be on propriatary system for its internals... Its it possible to change the gearbox anyway?

The things that aren't properitary: cylinder, cylinder head, piston, piston head, gears, and motor. Might be some other things but I forget.
There is a kit from Modify that is usable for the Masada. Its the Modify AUG cylinder kit, it includes nozzle (which you can't use), Modify POM piston head, Modify Piston, Modify Cylinder, and Modify Cylinder head.
I have one and I love it
. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
