Yup. Makes contact with the sector gear (gear that contacts the piston).

Yes, it was cleaned and I did notice a small hook like protrusion which I assumed interfaced with the sector gear but, as I had outlined earlier, I am not familiar with neither the proper terminology nor the actual components; Was a safe bet on my behalf to rebuild the gearbox according the the V2 video on mechbox.com even though it was not specific to an Armalite unit?

V2 boxes fit in a lot of guns, the things that differentiate between models would be stuff like the porting on cylinders, nozzles, selector plates; stuff like that. Aside from that, if you know how to reassemble one V2, you know how to assemble them all.

Also, Skladfin was talking about the thread I caused a bit of a ruckus in, heh heh... As I mentioned before, if you have any questions or need help with your mechbox, I can help you out in person.

Yes. An armalite mechbox is V2. And there's not much differences to different versions anyway.

The most difficult part for me was aligning the sector gear to that "critical" 1:00 o'clock position; Just how perfect does that actually have to be?

I suppose that my last question would have to be how important is the shimming to overall functionality / performance/

Shimming is INCREDIBLY important; the gears have to mesh perfectly as to ensure they perform at their peak and I think there's something about misaligned teeth causing stress or something; I don't know I use modular gears so I don't have to worry about shimming.

I'm so fucking lazy!

I suppose then someone here needs to kindly explain how to determine / verify whether the shimming was properly performed; Is there a special or particular technique? Thanx.
