gearbox question

Oct 1, 2011 1:01am
I have my eyes on two different aeg's, both Classic Army. One advertises an 8mm bearing gearbox, and the other 7mm. Is there any significant advantage/disadvantage to having or not having that extra millimeter?
I'm sorry, was that your face?!

The ABS(blowback) models all use 8MM bearings. All the other CA guns with bearing use the 7mm bearing.......... which fail a lot more often.

What's a good way to remedy the 7mm failures?

Fix it when/if it breaks. Replace with solid steel bushings.
