LPEG mechbox

Hey gang, I've been looking at alot of peoples custom airsoft gun projects and thinking that I'd like to start one as a summer project. LPEG mechboxes seemed to be used in the Sten's and what not that I've seen but most of the people are using quite poor quality ones. So I have a few questions.

What is an LPEG?
Can I get a GOOD LPEG mechbox?
Could you recomend something of similar size for something like a STEN project? Maybe an MP7 mechbox?

Ok, Found out LPEG meant Low Power Electric Gun, So I'm guessing I don't really want that. I also found a new term. MAEG, Meaning Micro Auto electric gun. Anyways still looking for recommendations.

You answered your own question. Find a TM AEP gearbox and go to town. I only say use a TM as you'll have the least amount of trouble with a TM.

King, neither of those first two gearboxes would work as they are far too large to house the entire gearbox and the motor in the STEN. Then might fit in a STEN Mk1 version, but those saw very limited use or in a MkV, but I doubt it. Battery storage would also be a bit of a problem for a full size gearbox. It's not like STENS had RIS systems or PEQ's on them.

Thanks alot, Anyone have any dimensions for that MP7 mechbox, I'll continue searching however. Also would anyone recomend a different weapon to replicate? I don't mind the fabricating but I definatley can't modify a gearbox so if there's any other simple looking guns out there let me know.
