Jg mp5
 

Hello all and a Happy New Year.

I am thinking about getting a JG MP5 from one of the members here and just wanted to know if this is a decent gun. I realize it's a starter gun but I love to tinker but have only ever dealt with M4 platforms and only version 2 gearboxes. Is the teching process similar? Are Mp5's easy to work on? ETC.....

Anyway as an outside airsofter and in Ontario - it's tech season and I want a new project. Any insight would be great thanks.

JG mp5's are a clone of the TM mp5's which mean that it is a 3 piece receiver where the gearbox goes into the grip and the upper receiver splits into 2 pieces and sandwiches the thing to make a whole gun.

Depending on if you plan to front wire or rear wire the thing you'll either make it a 3/5 in difficulty or a 10/ohgodwhydidibuythis difficulty.

In terms of gearboxes the only difference is the trigger, selector plate, and nozzle. From my experience I would not recommend an MP5 for a starter gun for teching.

LoL. Thanks for the heads up brother.
