Is it Worth it to Upgrade?
For Christmas I got an Umarex g-36x. Compared to my other guns (a cheap spring gun and an LPEG) my new gun is wonderful, but I can tell the gearbox needs to be shimmed. I was wondering if I should (or even could) shim the gearbox. Thank you.

Re: Is it Worth it to Upgrade?
The gearbox should definitely be shimmed. I destroyed the first gun I ever tried to take apart, though. It's probably a good idea to practice on an old broken gun first, or get an experienced player/tech to help you. You can likely find a broken V2 gearbox on eBay for cheap.

Thanks Doublewolf! I will try to shim my LPEG first so I'll have at least a little bit of experience and don't completely kill my new gun.
