putting a systema gearbox in a double eagle?

i reposted this in this section because nobody was replying to it in the AEG upgrades section. anyway.

ok i was thinking. i have a crappy double eagle m85 sitting around. would it be worth it to take it and upgrade it with a metal gear box and change the mag chamber so that i can take other brand mags as well? (it will only take double eagle mags) just something i was thinking about randomly. what do you think? this gun is like 200 fps maybe even less. the frame is full plastic etc. is it even worth it? or should i just buy all the components and start from scratch? i.e. custom barrels upper lower receivers etc.

INHO it is not worth the money or the effort, and to add a little more gas to the fire, SYSTEMA GB´s are way overpriced, and a complete was of money, you can build a better GB for half the price.

haha i wasn't going to get a systema. but anway i was thinking of maybe getting a version 3 gearbox and just replacing the crappy plastic gearbox inside the double eagle

I still say it would be bettr to save your cash until you have enough for a Better level gun.

Dropping a Metal box may improve your FPS, but the inner barrel will have to be replaced, new wiring, Hop-Up Buckling, Nubbing, Motor, when you get done you could buy a good entry level gun for the amount that you have invested.

But Hey, thats just me

the version 3 gearbox i found is 49.99 with the motor include. inner barrel and wiring is easy to replace. also hop up wouldnt be too much as well. but this is just a theory. i probably wont even do it. just a curiousity

Yeah, honestly man, stick with slob's idea.
You should definetly buy a better gun, after all, it comes with everything

true true. well i could always jsut take it apart and work with what i have hehe maybe mod it a bit. lol i was actually thinking of getting an m4 but i really want ak since i already have the mags for it. lol or i could custom make an m4 hmmmmm

what brand Kalashnikov are you thinking about getting?
another CYMA?

yeah most likely another cyma. they are cheap but nice and then ill just customize it a little

If you still want to upgrade you could go to one of the boneyards on airsoftGI or Evike. you coulld buy a broken gun and salvage it for parts.

true. but there is no gurantee that most of the parts will be 100% working. i would rather pay for something that i know what works etc. instead of paying for something that is an iffy kind of deal. its a chance i don't want to take

yeah, but some are sold simply because they are missing a part. If that part is not something you need, then you can get everything you need.

It's true;
I ordered a Thompson off www.Kapowwe.com Boneyard for FORTY DOLLARS and they sent me a brand new working perfect Thompson with just a few scratches and a missing buttplate.

On a side note; if you're looking into AK's Echo 1 has produced a line of Affordable Blowback AK AEGs.
