Re: Mato sprocket issue on HL M4A3
Looking from the top of that gearbox, you should see three Philips screws, one front, one back, and one middle. If you undo those a little, don't take them out, just enough for the box to be able to move. Then you need a lever of some kind between the boxes to make the offending box move nearer the side, but not with too much force, don't want to break the chassis.
And while you have the lever in place, tighten up those screws, starting at the front, then middle, then back.
