Jmason98 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Evening all, I purchased what was meant to be a working JG MP5K, only to find the guy had lied and the piston wasn't moving, looking further, the gearbox has cracked and it has broken in its entirety, the piston has also broken, I am looking at just buying a new gear box, and slotting it straight in, any ideas as to where I can find one, it's a V2 box... Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBow Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Not what your asking but did you not throw it back at him and get a refund?

Hudson Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Doesn't the MP5K use a V3 gearbox, though? Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisz Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 MP5K? It has to be V3 not V2. Regular sized MP5's use V2 gearboxes. DanBow and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, the K is different from full size MP5s, in that it uses a V3 gearbox, but with a long type motor.

Tempted to try and speak to my bank about it, see if they can do anything as it's not fair, it was advertised as working, then it wouldn't feed when tested, he then started ignoring me, claimed he was busy blah blah blah, said he will "pass me some money Thursday" made me quite sad tbh, was looking forward to using it.

Fatboy40 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 @Jmason98 That's shit isn't it If it turns out you're stuck with it then Negative Airsoft has a very long CYMA MP5K video on his Patreon channel that shown pretty much a complete disassembly and rebuild, so really useful for the v3 gearbox MP5K's (I've finally bought a GATE Titan v3 so started to work on my "boneyard" CYMA MP5K at the weekend that I bough almost a year ago, but I'm a bit stuck as the ball bearing cage on the spring guide is knackered so waiting for AK2M4 to open his web shop again to get one) Jmason98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted April 22 Supporters Share Posted April 22 Sorry to hear that. Exceptions exist, but as a general rule of thumb, anyone wanting to be paid other than by PayPal Goods and Services is planning to screw you. All airsoft MP5K guns that I'm aware of use a V3 gearbox, with that looooong trigger pull. Easy enough to check, using the pictures on the page above, or a guide like this one. With the caveat that nothing in airsoft is standard, a G&G or Guarder shell might suit. The other alternative is to look for a boneyard MP5K, AK or G36 that's cosmetically wrecked, but it's always tricky to find a real bargain, honestly described.

So, managed to sell the gun for just under half of what I paid for it, spoke to bank, they have said call us back 15 days from transaction if you have had no reply, we can then dispute the payment!

Supporters Tackle Posted April 23 Supporters Share Posted April 23 Surely in order to dispute the payment with the seller, the option for him to refund is reliant on you being able to return the faulty goods, something you cannot now do. You may have shot yourself in the foot ? Rogerborg, Lozart and Nick G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Got to go with tackle on this one. You have no way to even prove it's faulty now and if you can't return the item I can't see how they have an obligation to refund you. Tackle and Nick G 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in short, no, they will dispute that payment as the goods were mis sold, I asked them in regards to it, they will dispute it with his bank for me as the goods were faulty and the buyer accepts no returns, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lad on here trying to scam me even though I used goods and services. It was definitely an interesting one to see him going from feeding me all sorts of BS to going completely silent when I got my cash back 🤣 DanBow and Tackle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keep us informed, really hope it works out, maybe they're taking a different stance. Out of interest, what bank is it ? Jmason98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
