Mechbox Shells

Lucuis · January 25th, 2010, 05:30

My current v3 mechbox shell broke, the little nubs that hold the cylinder head broke off

I am shopping for a new mechbox, and i am looking for opinions, and experiences on which shell i should get.

I'm not really sure which brands are actually good in terms of shells, any input is appreciated. I have been looking at possibly SRC or KA so far, but like i said i am open for suggestions. If it helps, i have almost all modify aftermarket innards, mixed with whats came stock. Pretty well the only stock parts are the gears themselves. Also it's for an AK.

As for a budget, with the appropriate bushings, i am good with about $80 before tax and shipping.

Thanks for your efforts.

The 7mm KA Shells are really cheap now at airsoftparts

Classic Army or TM. For V3, I wouldnt touch any other shell.

Ive delt with enough King Arms Shells that Im Smart enough to avoid them when possible. But id take King Arms over SRC, G&G anyday. Jing Gong is a close 4rth after King Arms.

Edit : for 30 bucks at ASP, Thats not a bad deal. Id hit that.

I've installed a half dozen KA V2 mechboxes (hey, for $40, it's way better than the shell I bought 4 years ago, cost me close to $100, don't remember the brand) in the past, and am very impressed with them. I'd assume the V3 would be just as good. Avoid Deep Fire though (unsure if they make a V3), they are crap and their tolerances are bad.

Thoughts on this http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...oducts_id=5405 Does CA use a different motor mount? Looks odd in the pic.

you should scoop up that KA V3 shell for $30. I have an itch to buy a bunch of shells and have different fps boxes ready to drop in my AEG's, but I'm too lazy.

Alright looks like i'll grab the one from ASP, thanks everyone for your input.
