Thanks Stalker yeah I've seen broken version 2 mechboxes in the past and wouldn't use an aluminum piston head there but didn't think it would be a problem with the ver 3. Reason we're using an aluminum piston head is because the PDI 170% destroys plastic piston heads in less than 1000 rounds (tried Guarder, Systema and Prometheus). In any case going to rethink the spring/piston head configuration now, sigh upgrading a MP5K (without the use of a longer barrel) is quite difficult...

I Totally disagree, I tear my gun down clean it at least once a month during the season, and a couple times in the off season to clean, and grease. My box and parts look nearly brand new. You can see signs of wear such as discoloration etc but you should never have rust flakes in the box.
