Just as the title says, I'm trying to figure out what gearboxes will fit in the VFC 416?
I picked up a P* package and the FE was sitting in a 416 shell. I'm not a huge fan of 416's and the stock gearbox wasn't included, so I'm trying to figure out what I can drop in to make it work. I have a KWA gearbox laying around, but I don't think that will fit.
Do I have any other options? I don't exactly want to pay the astronomical price for a VFC 416 gearbox..
Thanks!

Anything Version 2 that isn't Ares OEM.

Anything Version 2 that isn't Ares OEM. Cool, so this KWA box should drop in then? I read somewhere that it wouldn't fit... But what do I know!? I would just try it out myself, but the gun is in one place and the gearbox is in another.

The relatively new KWA gearboxes (2GX or 3GX) will not fit in other brand guns, even if they are version 2 also. This is because KWA puts extra reinforcements on their gearbox shells which makes them bigger than a standard V2. I don't know about their older gearboxes though.

Kind of depends. If you want to keep the whole bolt catch ability you'd have to use a V2 that has that. Off the top of my head I can only think of VFC with that ability built into their gearboxes. I put a JG gearbox into a VFC 416 at one point and it was ridiculously tight on the upper receiver.
To be safe I'd just get another VFC gearbox.

My lonex fits fine in an old gen vfc. Most v2s other than weird ones like kwa and ares will fit if you are willing to do some filing here and there.
