Overview

Product Overview

The Ares M45 Gearbox Casing (comprising part designations GB-505 and GB-506) is a factory-original, precision-engineered replacement chassis designed specifically to house the specialized internal drivetrain of the Ares M45 sub-carbine AEG series. Standard version 2 or version 3 gearbox shells are entirely incompatible with the ultra-compact, modular receiver layout of the M45 platform. This dual-casing kit circumvents those sizing limitations by providing the exact proprietary form-factor split required to maintain structural rigidity while maximizing tight internal space configuration. Cast from a high-density, impact-resistant zinc-aluminum alloy, this casing assembly features reinforced radiused stress points along the cylinder windows—a critical structural upgrade that prevents the cracking common under the high impulse of heavy linear springs. The casing comes pre-machined to accept standard Ares electronic components, including their advanced Electronic Firing Control System (EFCS) board and a fast-access quick-change spring guide system. For B2B trade stockists, specialized repair hubs, and dedicated technical workshops, this genuine factory replacement component is an indispensable, high-utility service asset to keep customer platforms running at peak efficiency.

Legal Information

iWholesales Ltd is a trade-only supplier ofAirsoft recreational equipment. Airsoft is a popular, non-lethal sporting hobby in the UK, legally and safely categorized alongside common activities like paintball and gel blasting.

1. A Safe & Regulated Hobby
  • Recreational Nature: Airsoft is an organized sporting activity focused on teamwork and target play, much like paintball.
  • Safety Tested: These items are engineered to discharge lightweight 6mm plastic pellets that are non-lethal and designed specifically for hobbyist use.
  • Legal Status: Under the Firearms Act 1968 (Section 57A), airsoft products are not considered firearms because they operate at very low energy levels.
2. Muzzle Energy & Safety Limits

To ensure these items remain safe for recreational play, they strictly follow the kinetic energy limits set by UK law:

  • Fully Automatic Models: These are capped at 1.3 Joules.
  • Single Shot Models: These are capped at 2.5 Joules.
  • Toy-Like Characteristics: Because they fire only plastic or part-plastic spherical missiles (max 8mm diameter) at these low energies, they are legally recognized as safe recreational tools.
3. Restricted Professional Ecosystem (B2B)

While individual buyers at retail shops must provide proof of "Defense" (such as a skirmisher membership) under the VCRA Act, iWholesales operates at a higher professional tier:

  • Vetted Trade Only: This platform is a Closed Ecosystem. We do not sell to the general public.
  • Mandatory Business Verification: Every account is manually reviewed and approved by our compliance team. We only supply verified retailers who are already legal professionals in the hobby industry.
  • Pre-Vetted Supply Chain: By the time an item is listed here, it has already passed through our strict safety and legal vetting process, ensuring it is 100% legal to trade.
4. Industry Accreditations

Our commitment to safety is supported by our active memberships in professional hobbyist and trade associations:

  • GTA (Gun Trade Association): Membership No. IWH/3379.
  • BASC (British Association for Shooting & Conservation): Membership No. 160096741.
  • Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD): We are a Registered Firearms Dealer authorized by the Thames Valley Police (Certificate No: 43/00000008887).
