Well my Systema M120 old style gearbox has run somewhere between 50,000 and 52,000 rnds through without a single problem. It has been an awesome gearbox. I decided to replace the piston which was extremely worn as well as the piston head which still looked decent. I dropped a new set of gears in (same ones as before). Everything else looked good. The spring shoots strong still so I'm going to leave that in for a little longer. Then I reoiled it and closed it back up. It shoots nice and crsip still. A very slight change in sounds but other than that I just have some peace of mind. |

This wasn't even a repair. Nothing broke ha. My old systema M150 gearbox was the best I've owned, however it only lasted about 17.5k rounds I estimated. My current M120 style has roughly 2.5k rounds on it since I generally shoot on semi. I've sort of been brand loyal to Systema I'll admit. |

You are correct in saying that. I think the M150s don't last as long because of much higher wear. Your M120 will hopefully run much longer. But you do get a ton of performance bonuses in the time that you do run a systema. If you want a very reliable gearbox go with a 290 fps TM. For performance, Systema will not dissapoint. But I have good reliability too so I'm lucky |

I wish my first repair job was that easy. Luckily I saved up some money and bought a new gun instead. Had a lot of extra parts, and I almost got the gun working a year later. After thinking about it, all I really need to do is work on shimming better. From what I remember now is that one of the gearboxes I sold to a teammate needed a little shimming work and it was running fine. However now that I live down here in Harrisburg, I don't have the luxury of being able to shoot a gun afterwards to see if it is working or not. That being said, and I hope this isn't too off topic here, but does anyone do work on guns around here? |

It is interesting that you bring that up. I know a lot of people know how to do gun work. I haven't seen many services advertised though. |

I send mine to a guy in Jersey. Shipping is less than $20 so no big deal. |

I trust Systema as a reliable brand as well as a performance brand. I always though reliability was why people got them but yea |

My friend Renegede does good work. He lives in Stewartstown, in southern York County. That may be far (don't know where you live), but he does alot of work on guns. I would recommend him to anyone. @Nova: Skyler wanted me to advertise here, so there ya go... |
