The smoke coming from the motor isn't nice either, the motor took a shot for sure.

If I have time today I'm going to go over the shimming. It looks fine for the spur and sector gear. I think the main problem is the bevel gear. The 7mm Bearing bushings I put in the gearbox may need to be shimmed more/better before they work 100%. I say this becuase while the sector and spur gears both retained their original bearings (I replaced the spur gear's bearing just because but I used the shim it had had from on the stock bushing) I lost the bevel gear's bushing and shim so I had to reshim it myself.
Just getting the spring inside the gun has been a two man effort for me though so putting the GB together has been somewhat of a group process each time I've attempted it -_-. Keep in mind though this is my absolute first time having ever done any kind of internal work so literally everything is new and somewhat difficult for me unfortunately.
Also, I don't know why the motor was smoking. Obviously it's a concern but keep in mind I never used the GB once before opening it up to replace the spring. Maybe it's a dud but I suppose it's too late now anyway.
