Description
A&K MOD1 Complete Gearbox
This is a complete A&K gearbox listed for the MOD1. A complete gearbox comes assembled, so it can be used to replace a damaged or worn gearbox as a whole, rather than rebuilding the original part by part.
The gearbox is the heart of an electric rifle: it holds the gears, piston, cylinder and spring that compress and release air for each shot. Swapping a whole gearbox is often the quickest way to get a broken rifle back in action, or to keep a spare ready to swap in. Our listing names the part for A&K’s “MOD1” platform but does not say which A&K rifle that is, and we could not confirm it from published sources. Please compare the part with the images and with your own rifle before ordering, or contact us with your rifle’s model and we will check for you.
Why buy a complete gearbox
When a gearbox has a cracked shell, stripped gears and a worn piston all at once, buying each part separately can cost more and take longer than replacing the whole unit. A complete gearbox also means the parts inside have been put together to work as a set.
Many players also keep a complete spare gearbox so that a breakdown does not end their weekend, especially on rifles where parts are harder to find.
Fitting
Remove the battery and magazine, follow your rifle’s disassembly guide to take out the old gearbox, and transfer anything not supplied with the new one, such as the motor, grip or selector parts, as needed. Check the wiring and connector suit your battery, and test-fire on semi-automatic at a safe backstop before play. Have the rifle chronographed at your site after fitting, as a different gearbox can change performance.
Gearbox work involves a compressed spring and many small parts. If you are not confident, have the work done by an experienced airsoft technician, and always remove the battery and magazine first.

Compatibility
Listed for the A&K MOD1. Gearboxes differ in shell version, wiring, motor and trigger layout, so check the images and compare the gearbox with your rifle before ordering. Whether a motor is included is not stated, so check the images or ask us.
Care and maintenance
Keep the gearbox clean and dry, and lubricate gears and piston with suitable airsoft grease when servicing. Use a battery suited to the gearbox and do not run it with a spring stronger than it was set up for.
Store the rifle with the battery disconnected, and listen for changes in sound that might signal wear.
