Sounds like your shimming is gonna be royally fucked since you said your bushings were flying. V3 Gearboxes also generally don't have the spring guide hole.

1. Stick a screwdriver, pin push or hex key into the spring guide, it will help you align it.
2. Weaken the spring on the anti reversal latch a bit, and if it keeps popping out you can lay a small screwdriver or hex key on it to keep it down under the bevel gear.
3. If the trigger spring gives you trouble, I sometimes leave the handle of a hammer on it to hold it down

That takes care of the 3 main problems people have when aligning the gearbox halves... After a few times you'll get the hang of it. If not, I guess that's why airsoft techs exist lol.

Brings back memories of my first time opening up a mechbox... It was a Well R-6 back when I was in grade 8 lol.
