Seriously.

It's a recipie for disaster.

You're talking about $300 in highly upgraded parts with very tight tolerances. if any one little thing is reassembled out of spec, you're going to have gun that's as good as a paperweight, and need a few hundred bucks more to repair it.

Illusion gave you the best advice - due to your lack of experience, get a professionally pre-built mechbox. It's been assembled in Japan with very high quality control. I would bet my next paycheque that a Systema-built mechbox will outlast a similar one that you can build.
I don't disagree with the fact that they have very high quality gearboxes, but if I'm going to be using the SAME gearbox that they use in the M150 pre-built gearboxes and I'm going to be using the best gears money can buy. Also some of the best bushings, highest torque piston that I could find which is also reliable. Good piston head. I'll be using the same motor and I'll have a much better MOSFET considering systema mosfet's are pretty crappy. The only thing that that gearbox has that I wont is an upgraded cylinder set. So I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm just confused as to why you guys say that the systema set-up will last and mine wont. Also IF I were to build my gearbox from scratch my friend and I would both be doing it together who has been airsofting and upgrading gearboxes for over 5 years and completely knows what he is doing.
