well i dont want to thread jack, but I just thread jacked. don't feel like starting a new thread just for the kwa gearbox problem, if you guys didn't know the trigger post broke and is causing the gearbox to seize up. Well, after research I think I have found a cheap fix, but would need some help...I mean it is a messed up gearbox anyways it wouldn't hurt to try until I get another.
"As for the fix itself. The airsmiths in this area who have encountered this on KWA and other companies' version 2 gearboxes prefer to use self-tapping screws. They drill a hole slightly smaller then a screw that is the same width as the post. I suggest using a drill press as it's the easiest way to get the hole perfectly straight. They put a dab of Locktite (the kind you have to heat to remove) on the screw and gently turn it in until the tip protrudes from the exterior of the box. Then Dremel off the screw head and the protruding piece and voila. Make sure it's ground down to the same height as the original post or you cant put the halves back together. The smiths (that I've talked to) who've used this method have never seen a post come back broken after this fix"

so I talked to the kwa representatives at the GI yard sale on Sat. they also told me to drill a hole where the trigger post is and screw in a 1/8 steel screw in...the representative also did the mod to his own gearbox.
