I tried a few times and gave up - I couldn't get the spring and gears to sit properly and it looks like I had snapped part of the charging handle. So off to the tech! He's agreed to do a JB Weld of the charging handle as a temporary fix (Evike sells a reinforced version that I may end up ordering down the road)

Keeping that in mind, decided since I'm already paying for the labour, I might as go whole hog on the internals of the gearbox too. It looks like I found a vendor that has most of what I'm looking for so I'm picking up:

Modify 8mm Tempered Steel Bushings
Guarder V7 Steel Gear Set
Modify Air Seal Nozzle - M14 Series
Modify Enhanced Cylinder Head - V7
Lonex Extreme Toughness AEG Piston
Magic Box Double O-Ring Aluminum Bearing Piston Head
Modify Enhanced Cylinder (300mm-450mm)
Modify Bearing Spring Guide - V6/V7

Down the road I'll splurge for the upgraded barrel and hopup. Part of him doing the repair will also include a basic tuneup - shimming, greasing... I'm not sure if he'll test for compression or AOE but I can always ask.
