Basically whats happening is this: there are 2 major shops in Rome, maybe three. They all have websites selling stuff, and they run there own teams and some have fields. They then get players to come to the shops... shoot the shit... "hey giovanni! Great game last wekeknd eh? Have a free spork!" Meanwhile all those "spares" you mention don't make it on to the sites...instead you go in and say: Hey, do you have any cylinder heads in stock or what? Your site says you havent had any in a while" Then the gun doc goes: "Oh.. don't worry about it. Leave your shit here and I'll sort it out for ya. Come by later in the week and it'll be done"
Fast forward to later in TWO weeks and your AEG's fixed....fixed with an bloody great repair bill!!
This used to happen to me every time I brought my M4 in (2-3 times max) for various reasons when I first started playing. I'd go in for something... figuring the part costs this much... labour this much but would be charged about 20-30% over that. I got sick of it after the third time and decided to start doing things myself... but now there aint no parts anywhere... cause they're sitting in Massimo's F**king tool box...so yeah it happens.

You should likely replace the cylinder head in the tube is bent. I'd replace the nozzle/tappet plate as well since these parts do wear and are cheap; you already have the gearbox apart so why not? I like Modify and Prometheus parts, but I also like Guarder cylinder heads.

Well.... I caved in and went to one of the shops.. must have caught the doc on a good day... said he might have a spare upper to replace mine that cracked... and seemed cool with having it sorted by friday. But it remains to be seen how much I'll be dinged...

Such is the nature of this sport.
