Question about the "New" JG gear box

So I'm looking at getting an MP5 and of course one of my first stops is Evike. Where I notice that JG has a "Version 2 (Metal Gear Box) / Newest Version JG MOD5 gearbox with fully customizable / upgradeable internal." So what is so different about it?

Probably minor things, I dont think the mp5s have fet's yet

Even if they did, I'd cut it out. JG mosfets are hindrances more than they are helpful. Mark had a JG AUG RAS, and he took out the mosfet and gained RoF.

JG changed a lot as far as internals in the summer/fall of '08. So this is probably just the post-2008 version. But I doubt the claim about "fully customizable internals". I theory, yes, but the QC on clones is, I've found, pretty shoddy, and what should fit doesn't always fit. Heck, Rhino and I talked about this on Wednesday when I was down there. On some clones, something might fit great, but on another gun that is the exact same make/model, it might not fit.

Just curious, but does this particular mystery stem from poor quality control?

Yep, and the fact that they dont have the origional TM blueprints to work off of

Yep. Clone companies usually put a decently solid product, but they sometimes do stuff that just doesn't make sense. I had to tighten practically every screw on a neighbor's JG G3 because they were loose right from the factory.
