Well, I cant see a customs person really going "Oh dear, that looks like a banana mag and its not an AK mag... CALL THE UMAREX HOTLINE!"...somewhere in germany, a lawyer picks up a red flashing plastic phone, V1s are launched at your house...etc etc

Last checked they didn't have the 8mm version though. I think the press release was over the 8mm version....

Next time my gearbox begins to overheat I'll be sure to give this a look.

They do make some fine 8mm ceramic standalone bearings though
I am definitely eyeing one to replace my M16 gearbox. My hope is that while seated in the lower the top hole will still show so i can still observe and possibly relube the gearbox without tearing the thing apart.

Very True. Untill I picked up and installed a Modify Smooth gearset I had always looked at the range with some doubt, but no more. If the quality of the rest of the range is as good as the smooth gearset then i have no qualms about spending money on this gearbox shell.

A word of note:
I have a TORUS 7mm gearbox (loaded up with a MODIFY 6mm SMOOTH torque-up FTK and MODIFY 7mm bushings) and I can tell you there are some fitment issues with G&P metal bodies. The extra front-end reinforcement under the cylinder opening needs to be sanded down to fit into the lower receiver, and the "Cooling fins" on the rear of the body are too high to fit into the lower as well and also require sanding. Also, there is plenty of leftover casting material inside the mechbox. It's a nice mechbox, but it requires some cleaning up and fitting to work properly.

Would it not have been feasible to sand the G&P reciever or did that much have to come off to make it fit

I bought one of these over the weekend. Should be here by the end of this week. I have a set of Modify Topgear modular gears and ultra piston to fit into this shell =)
Shall be interesting to see when it arrives what it's like.

Did your set come with the wee bottle of lube? Mine didn't, even though it says you are meant to in the instruction booklet. The gap in the foam for the bottle in my set was replaced with a chunk of foam. =<

I am a bit disappointed though, I thought it was going to be a "drop in" gearbox.

Or just buy a Modify FTK and the Shell it will probably cost about the same. Other than trigger harness you pretty much have all you need. I think doing the shell alone is a better idea as the quantity and quality of the lubing in "drop in" boxes has recognised as being hit and miss.

Yes that is true.
I was going to use this in my G&P body, but now hearing that it doesn't fit, I think I will have to look elsewhere.

Yay, more holes for dirt to get it and ruin the internals...
Does everyone not care about the huge holes on the gearbox?

I believe everyone, hashed, re-hashed, and then argued some more about this when it was originally released. I don't think the huge holes are going to be a problem here. Regular maintenance should prevent any damage due to dirt.
For Sale : CYMA AK105, King Arms SVDThe clones are like the sandpeople. Frightened easiliy but back soon and in greater numbers.
For Sale: FAPC Gen II, Eagle Plate Carrier, Eagle Universal Rig

But these holes are big enough to let rocks into the gearbox... I can imagine the horror of getting a piece of rock jammed in the gears.
