Facebook might hate freedom, but it's still going strong here.
WOW... looks like Leftfordead is a real AEG expert. Of course with a birthdate of 01 Dec 1905 I guess he's been around a while and should know it all.
YOU JUST GOT OWNED.http://www.icsbb.com/order/e_detail.asp?CatalogID=39&ProductID=389 says right there that its a version 2 gearbox.
Hate to tell you...but you're wrong. I know for a fact they both use version 2s. Marui is the ONLY company that uses version 3s in their guns. Niether Classic Army or ICS uses them(not sure 100% sure about CA). I too have taken them apart, and found NOTHING but version 2s. CA doesn't use a version 3 becuase they include version 2 reinforced gearboxes.

They don't appear to verify your claim on their website from what I've seen so far. They do sell a V3 gearbox, but none of their guns state that they are V3. Perhaps you can provide a link that states otherwise?
Call specialized ditribution (the ics website is dated, I was suprised to see that they haven't updated the info). 1--626-281-0979...ask for Mike.
Just because there is no hole in the back of the gear box does not make it a version 3.
Show us a scan of the manual you got with the ICS MP5 showing the version 3 gear box. Although it would be possible to put a version 3 in an MP5 it would also require changing the lower receiver to one that will work with that gear box since the motor on a version 3 is attached to the gear box and not installed seperately like a version two is inside the pistol grip.Just because there is no hole in the back of the gear box does not make it a version 3.
