What causes gear stripping?

The gears can strip easily if:

 you go full auto all the way until an entire hi-cap mag is emptied

 your mechbox is running way too fast

 misaligned gears and improper shimming

 broken bushings

Gear stripping is a fact of live. Every mechbox will come across this problem – it

is just a matter of time. Proper usage together with proactive maintenance

measures can delay stripping. Open up your mechbox regularly (like every

10000 shots) and do a check up. Remove the dirt and other unknown particles

that are accumulated inside the mechbox. Apply grease if necessary.

* If yours is a Cybergun AR15, do not open up the mechbox too frequently. Every

time you want to take out the mechbox you have to disassemble the gun body.

The AR15 plastic body is no good for frequent screwing and unscrewing.
