The Mokei Paddock crew respond to a question from a viewer of their channel with three years of airsoft experience who notices many veterans eventually upgrading their M4 rifles with high-end Retro Arms gearboxes. The viewer wonders if making these premium parts locally in Japan would lower costs and improve availability. The seasoned hosts gently push back, suggesting that three years in the hobby is just the beginning and that chasing expensive aftermarket parts is a phase rather than the final destination.

An interesting comparison of Version 3 gearboxes from Retro Arms and X High Tech/Combat Gear is made by Hokum of Airsoft Ukraine... "From the technical point of view the ultimate difference between these two is in the process how they were made. The X High-tech gearbox is casted first and then milled (or if you prefer - polished with CNC). The one from Retro Arms is completely CNC machined out of the solid block of aluminium AW EN7075 T651.
Hokum, the admin of the Ukrainian Airsoft website, Airsoft.ua, sends in an update on his latest review which is about the Retro Arms CNC Gearbox with a comparison with the Army Force gearbox... "Just about 7-8 years ago, they were quite rare. One of the first pioneers was the modular gearbox made by Pro-Win which appeared to be like something from NASA back then (because of the price as well).
