it all depends on amount of usage. three thousand bb's isn't that much sure a day in the warehouse i used to go through as much. if the gearbox was greased properly and is shimmed correctly then it should last a fair few months of solid gaming, you can sometimes tell by the sound of the gears if the grease isn't doing the job and it needs attention. if in doubt leave it in for a routine slap and tickle.
