Do you happen to know why the V3 gearbox is more reliable and durable? and does this statement only apply to stock gearboxes?
You seem to state that AK's are easier/cheaper to make increase the performance, why?
When comparing the absolute best V2 and V3, does one version still have an edge on the other?

Yeah, I should have written out of the box instead of stock. The V3 gearbox is more durable thanks to a better build. The two halves are held at the top by a continuous metal clamp, whereas V2s are screws only. Also, the V3 has the motor cage mounted to the gearbox, where the V2 has the motor floating inside the pistol grip. The V3 gearbox also is better is the cold, V2s tend to snap at the front near the 90° angle. A high quality V2 shell will still be reliable in the cold, but chances are the stock gearbox shell you get with your gun won't be that high quality. Its one more part to change if you want top durability.
To make most AKs shoot well, all you need is good compression and a good hop-up rubber/r-hop/flat-hop/flavor-of-the-month-hop/etc-hop. You can also change the barrel to a top quality barrel if you feel that its still not good enough for you with the stock barrel.
With ARs, unless you get a top quality brand like VFC, you'll have to get rid of the wobble first, then fix your compression and work on or change your hop-up chamber. Then you can work on reliability (gearbox shell if needed, etc.) and maybe change the barrel to a top quality one if needed.
