Broken motor carriage replacement

[league 4]

It's hard to tell, but in the picture the gearbox finish does look CA to me. Is the piston yellow? It should have a ported cylinder so you can just look through the window.

I've cracked open the gearbox, the piston is yellow and the cylinder does have a port.

It looks to be a CA then. You got a pretty good deal.

I know, all I need to do is replace the spring and buy new front iron sights and it is golden. But on topic, is is possible to buy a new motor cage or even have somebody weld it back? It broke under extreme stress (wrapped the motor in electrical tape to protect the wire insulation from getting scratched, couldn't pull the gearbox out when I needed to later, had to hammer it out) and I don't think it will be an issue again as long as it can hold the motor in place reliably. I put some epoxy on it, but from experience the stuff I use really doesn't work well and it would be taking too much pressure to stay on.

you always seem to break something when you open a gearbox

the gear box looks like the plastic version of the ICS MP5 gearbox

so you might be able to find one. there's not enough pictures to see what the entire thing looks like, but if it looks the same i've heard you can get away with a G36 motor cage but i'm not entirely sure about it.

Well, this time the internals were fine :P

That's the exact gearbox I have, and I happen to have a v3 lying around so I could check if the cage works. thanks for the help.

Lucky me, the V3 motor cage barley fits. I'm not too happy about having to spend 20$ to replace it, but at least it works. Thanks for the help guys.
