Drop in gearboxes. Where to find/will it fit?

Anyone know where I can get a drop in gearbox for a ca g33e? It takes the m4 style hop up but it has a long trigger than an m4. It takes v2 gearboxes. Will any m4 V2 drop in gearbox work?

probably work, but you need to use the proper G33e selector plate, airseal nozzle and trigger. Otherwise everything should be the same.

then replace the piston and gears.

the pistons are brittle and break, the gears are weak and the shafts eventually shear off. Other than that, they are great boxes.

The shafts ARE brittle, but their pistons are on and off.
I've seen their pistons last 2 games, and I've seen them last 300,000 rounds without breaking...
You could probably get away with shimming it, then running it till it breaks, but like he said, you'll definitely need the gears and piston later on

The CA33 uses a MP5 mechbox. You can even put a navy style lower receiver on it. The only part that you might have to change would be the loading nozzle to match the M4 Hop-up and a portless cylinder for the longer barrel. I've had mp5s' and M4s' and the nozzles on some were the same but I've been told the M4 ones are longer.

Sold this one a few months ago.
