I think these guns can last quite a bit longer with some simple work.
Proper lube (what was in there looked like vasaline)
The shimming is terrible, there is TONNES of play in bushings when the gear box is closed. Toss some metal bushings in and shim it proprely.
Cutting down or swaping the spring with something around 300-300fps will stop allot of the wear and tear. With metal bushings and a TM stock spring I am still getting great range and AMAZING ROF.
