Well... She had a good run. After ~45k rounds through the barrel with a pdi 170% and running a 9.6, the gearbox case finally cracked. I noticed during a game that I was getting really lousy compression and after the game it started shooting 15 feet or so then dropping to to the ground. At that point I bagged it and put it in the car to examine later. Luckily this didn't end my day because I had my TSD M8 with me (another really great gun for an extremely good price). Upon opening it up, I somehow managed to shatter the hop up, I don't know how I have opened it up a million times to clean the barrel but i screwed it up that time somehow. However that was not the problem, it was getting poor compression even from the nozzle and thats when I noticed the hairline fracture in the front part of the casing. Every time the piston hit it would separate and release air out of the piston. Along with the motor and gears the gearbox is one of the most expensive things to replace. It's because of this that the gun will probably be shelved for a while until I feel like coughing up the money to fix it and/or feel like conducting the heart transplant. However, This should not discourage you from buying the gun as it was and is a great part of my collection, and if left stock and run on an 8.4 it will last you forever.
