Warning Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 A all metal MPEG 552? imho that JG is an AEG not a MPEG, then again what do you class a MPEG to be? tbh i really don't think you need to have a metal body, its fairly strong as, is if you really want a metal bodied one, then go fine a hurricane metal body. The only reason the 556 is metal bodied is that seems to be a copy of the GWS kit, which i hope im right in saying featured a metal body. Link to post Share on other sites

Warning Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 lawl completely forgot that there was the ICS 552 EDIT: Just got an email back from action hobbies confirming the barrel issue The major problem with the gun is that it has excessive barrel/sight unit movement and the body pins are poorly made. other than that, it is a good piece of kit. hm... this has kinda but me off getting one that said i might get one and try to fix if up with a donor JG 552 Link to post Share on other sites

mag.357 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 just to add my view.not a good good gun if your new to airsoft.is a good gun just put together very poorly.gearbox is a good lookin v3 uncaged(motor in grip as per armalites).barrels move on all the ones i know of,this is due to missing grub screw(just under front sling point)and missing machine screws i the block which hols the barrel in place.once screws in place front is rock solid.the stock was also loose on mine,this screws in as per a real ar stock.just needed doing up correctly.selector was a bit sticky to move,reason was cog that connects to selector was loose and needed a washer to stop the wobble that made it catch the inside of the pistol grip.now ever thing has been tightend up this rifle shoots really really good.the only real problems with this rifle and theres only three once you tighten everything 1,sliding stock is loose fit(other styles i tried fitted great but just dont look as good) 2,lack of flip up rear sight(the real one is built in to the gun but lacking here.hk tumbler style from hk m4d or hk416 look right and work right) 3,little wedge shape missing on pistol grip behind trigger.(without gloves on this means two sharp corners on the lower body dig into your 2nd finger,i i will be moulding one on to mine) dont write this gun off,as some in thi thread appear to have! i you have the time fix its little problems its a very solid very different rifle Link to post Share on other sites
Warning Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 any chance of some pictures or anything to try and clarify what bits need sorting? Link to post Share on other sites
mag.357 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 sorry dont have a camera.if youve been softing for many years and work on your own guns there easy to spot.i noticed the grub screw missing on the front sight when testing in the shop.if you really want a sig that takes armalite mags go to your local store and have a look at one,ask to have a test fire. just to note the gearbox looks like a jing gong and the motor is the same as they use.(could jp be like dboys/kalash?).if your in the midlands warning drop me a pm and we could meet at the grange(gunman midlands)and you can have a shoot of mine/show you the fixes.

mag.357 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 i was just saying the gearbox really looks like a jing gong box and the motor is the same make that jing gong use.maybe they worked together maybe they didnt. i consider jing gong to be good product hence the comparison. is it not true(or am i misinformed)that some of the china airsoft companies are owned by different members of same family? hence maybe two brands could work together.

thartwig Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Alot of ACM companies use the same motors. The one that came in my Galaxy mp5 was from the same place as the one that came in my Dboys AK. Its most likely, or atleast possible that a third party makes the gearboxes, and that JP or whoever just puts them together. Link to post Share on other sites

JP just had to take a shortcut because the model was so due late, i guess they where scared if they cant get it out the interest dies and there is nobody to sell to later Link to post Share on other sites
