Matrix "Meteorite" 8mm Steel Bushings for Airsoft AEGs

"Very low profile. Gave me more clearance for spur gear that was too tight than the Retro Arms low profile bushings. Used loctite 638 to keep in place. Would recommend

"Great bushings. Can't beat the price. Work just as well as FLT bushings in my opinion, and give plenty of room for shimming especially in gearboxes that don't like SHS gears with stock cross hatch bushings. Installed these on in a V2 CYMA gearbox that came with the junk cross hatch bushings. Couldn't shim SHS gears inside very well especially the spur gear, since it was just spinning freely without any shims on the top axle, and only a .1 on the bottom. Removed those stock bushings, and JB welded these Meteorite bushings in place and let them sit for 24 hours. Had plenty of room to shim and was just as easy as using FLT bushings in a Retro Arms V2 shell. Very flat bushings. Buy these.

"Yeah these work great, they are also flush with a retro arms v3 gearbox.

"Bought these for my Krytac SPR DMR build, and these things are great. The black finish is some type of surface that is almost friction-less. Funning these with an ASG 18000, SHS 12:1 gears, and an ASG M135 spring. These bearings fit perfectly with a bit of superglue in the Krytac Gearbox shell, and have yet to fail.

"Fits super flat! No need to shave down. Works excellently with Lonex mechbox's.
5/5 would recommend for any 8mm bushing setup.

"The tolerances were wayyyy off and inconsistent. ig my set didn't pass QC lol

i tried these on a CYMA v2 mp5 gearbox (standard not platinum series) with rocket (aka OEM shs so basically shs) 13:1 gears and essentially ran into the exact same issues as the other person with a similar negative review to mine. i ended up just using the stock cyma bushings and they worked fine.

im pretty sure i got a bad set because shs isnt a bad company, but the fact that someone else had the same issue as me concerns me about (either matrix's or shs's) QC..........

in the future ill just not cheap out and buy some FLT bushings or j cage bearings

"I was looking forward to these, unfortunately they weren’t even usable.
Two of the six bushings were completely out of tolerance by almost -.3mm. So neither the old gears nor the new gear set I was installing fit that pair.
They’re also SHS bushings not matrix. Yet they were incompatible with the SHS 13.1 gears I was installing.

Maybe I got a bad set and had a pair that slipped through quality assurance. There are plenty of great reviews, and I’m sure they’re great but I’ll have to update this once an exchange has happened.
