I bought the JG spetz from them, should be the same as the krinkov and the G36. The mechbox itself looks a bit shinier then TM ones, and has some imperfections in it. Areas that are really small (ie around the cylinder) seem to be chipped or not cast properly.
I had a tough time trying to get metal bushings in, had to sand the holes with really fine rolled up sand paper for a short while, and freeze the bushings. All the Plastic in the mechbox like the tapet & selector plate, spring guide, nozzle and shit are white while the bushings are black.
It does seem more brittle then TM plastic, but maybe cuz it's white. The cylinder on mine has an inner diameter slightly larger then a stock TM one. I noticed this becasue it was shooting inconsistantly in terms of velocity and hopup. Thought it might have been the hopup but no, definetly not a proper seal around the cylinder and piston head.....both the piston and head look just like TM one though.
The grease is some type of brown transluscent automotive shit, definetly not white lithium. You really really have to reshim. I needed to add 2 shims but only had one to spare. The gears are great though, same as systema re-enforced ones but they say CA on them.
After I reshimmed, regreased/silicon gel, changed the cylinder and spring guide and bushings and that rediculos battery, it was shooting better than a stock TM ver 3 mechbox.

Just have to see how long it lasts.
