That lubricant looks like some kind of petrochemical / oil. I would recommend you massage that out and put in something proper.

A Systema gearbox. In an FCC 416. Dread. Truly, dread.
I am surprised that you didnt just do that already considering how many new guns you mcguyvered together last week. Give me a ring if you are going to order a new gearbox, I'm also looking for a boneyard box to restore for my 3rd PTW if I end up with a new gearbox from factory i'm just as happy.

I would be interested to find out if they put the axle/bearing slots in the gearbox shell in the right place or if their gears are off-spec or supposed to be large due to the placement difference in those holes. Do you have the tools to take those measurements?
