I don't see why not, I thought any 4.0 would bolt up to aw4/ax-15, maybe not. Might want to wait for another confirmation lol.

So it turns out that if you wash it and randomly pry on all the levers and switches it's possible to make it look and work better than new. Weird.

I had to replace a couple of the rod retainers and pulled some rubber stuff out of the guts. Not sure what the rubber was supposed to do but it was preventing the unlock mechanism from working.

Disconnect the battery cables for a minute (I've heard touch them together?) Then reattach them. Should be good.
