Thanks guys. This is just what I'm looking for: a nice mid-power close-range not-overpowering CQB gun I can also loan out to friends when they join me and not feel like I'm shorting them with a limp weapon on outdoor games.
I've found that simply replacing the bushings (good quality bushings at that, only found one set to be subquality and shiming being needed) and spring doesn't require a shim job. If you replace the gears, yes, damn good idea, but every mehcbox I've worked on that I replaced the bushings I checked to see if the stock bushings would work ok for each gear, then all three together, and found they were totally fine.
