The AK motor cage in my pictures had to be, well, let's just say I had to really really push. I gave up and then drank some wine and came back 30 minutes later and gave it another go and it went on. It suffices to say that it is an extremely solid and stable fit now

G36 nozzles and selector plates are widely available. So what gives?
Finding an extra g36 safety is a bit of an issue, though since it's external, it's not a huge deal to swap it over.

The locking tab on the top that allows the gearbox to be screwed into the upper is a hard part to track down, and defeats the purpose of a hotswap gearbox if I have to take apart an existing gearbox to get the part.

There's an extra lobe on the cutoff level that needs to be filed off to make it worth with g36 selector plates.

The trigger is an ak style trigger.. not a huge deal but for the purists who want a g36 trigger, they'd have to source one.

And as you mentioned, motor cage fit. I'm not sure if the AK motorcage will work in a g36 lower if you said it didn't fit. I tried to source a cage, it's a blue aluminum one, and it's too long where the height adjustment is, it hits the grip plate and the gearbox won't sit into the lower properly.

So no, there's nothing stopping me from scavenging the part sI need or replacing the different ones that are available, but my purpose for buying one would be for setting up separate outdoor/indoor configurations.
