It sounds like the piston housing wasn't lined up correctly when you reassembled your mechbox. The piston has guides on both side that align with rails on the inside of the box. If they weren't aligned (say, the housing and/or piston rotated a bit about its axis) the mechbox will close but won't screw down flush (even if the screws feel tightened). This is likely why the mechbox is hard to slide into the receiver - it's just slightly "fatter" because the mechbox is not properly reassembled.
Also, you mentioned that half of the rearmost piston teeth were chewed away. This is what leads me to believe that the piston was slightly rotated when the box was closed up. The chewing is from the piston gear trying to grab the piston at an angle, and slipping as a result. At a minimum, I think you're looking at a new piston. See a gundoc for a repair. Or you could just drop in a ready-to-use gearbox.
Good luck.
