Here's what I'm wondering, and I'm hoping you guys can help.

Sometimes I have to choose between zero sideways movement of the gears in the mechbox, and zero resistance when I spin the gears by hand. It seems that even if I use the thinnest shim possible, I can't have both 100%. It will either have no sideways movement and offer slight resistance, or there is some movement (less than 1mm) and the gears spin with no resistance.

Note: This is on a Ver.3 mechbox using Systema oilless bushings and Systema shims. Stock gears.

Any advice is appreciated.
