Description
G&G Reinforced PUR Gear for L85
This is a G&G reinforced gear for the G&G L85 AEG. G&G’s L85 replicates the British Army’s bullpup service rifle and is a popular choice with UK players, so genuine replacement parts are useful to keep these rifles running.
The listing describes the part as a reinforced gear designated PUR. The exact position of the gear in the gearbox is not stated in the product name, so please compare it with the product photos and with your rifle’s original part before ordering.
Why use a genuine G&G part
Gears in an AEG work as a set, and their tooth profile, size and mounting must match the gearbox and the other gears. A part made by the rifle’s own maker is the most straightforward way to restore a damaged gearbox to factory condition.
Gear damage often follows a jam, a broken piston tooth, or a stronger spring than the rifle was built for. If you are replacing a stripped gear, check the piston and the other gears at the same time.
Fitting and shimming
Changing gears means removing and opening the gearbox. Gears must be shimmed correctly so they run without side-to-side play while still turning freely, and the motor height must be adjusted so the pinion meshes cleanly with the bevel gear. If you are not confident with shimming, ask a technician to fit it.

Compatibility
Listed for the G&G L85. Other makers’ L85 and SA80 replicas may use different gearboxes and gears, so check the part against your rifle before ordering.
Care and maintenance
Clean old grease from gears when servicing and apply a thin, even coat of suitable gear grease. Too much grease attracts dirt and can be flung onto the switch contacts.
Listen to your rifle: a change in sound or a grinding noise is often the first sign of a gear or shimming problem, and stopping early prevents further damage.
