JG Sig 552 Review
First off this is the gun I won in the February 2008 Airsoft Core Contest. Big thanks goes out to Meatball(Tim), Airsplat, and Blazing Toys for the contest and great selection of prizes. I received the gun in 6 days from Airsplat (to NC) which is about average compared to other companies in their area. The box was surprisingly small when I first looked at it. Come to find out the SIG had the stock folded in the box to shorten the gun for shipping.
Once I got it out of the box I was surprised at just how good it felt compared to the many different TMs I had held considering this was an MPEG. The box had the 552, a unjamming rod, manual, bbs, high cap, wall charger, and a 8.4V 1100 MAh nickel-metal-hydride battery.
The battery compartment was just like the one in the TM. The 8.4V was a tight fit, but it was easy to get in all the same. The gun has simi, safe, and auto capabilities unlike the 3 shot burst on the TM (I didn’t really care either way).
The magazine for the sig is tiny compared to the already small MP5 and M4 mags.
It has a changeable rear and front sight, gas buffer selection, bolt, and trigger guard. The rear sights are just like those on an MP5 and the front flips down to change from a smaller peg to larger peg. The trigger guard swings to the left or right to allow gloved hands to operate the weapon more efficiently and the gas buffer selection lets all you enthusiast select the correct gas setting depending on if you have a can attached or not.
The overall feel of the weapon is just as good if not better than most TMs. The stock is solid, the front doesn’t creak, and the parts that come in contact with add on metal parts are all metal to keep wear to a minimum. As far as I can tell it has a full metal V3 gearbox which means this could be a good platform to build off of.
I am very impressed with JG’s replica of the SIG 552. I would have guessed the price on it would have been more around $200 instead of the low $105 tag if I had just played with it without looking up the price. I haven’t done much longevity testing but the FPS seems to be around 350 FPS with .2g bbs. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is starting out and needs a cheaper platform to build off of. The magazines will be expensive, but it is a solid gun. As for those who are looking for a back up or something unique I would say this may fit your bill as well considering it has a gearbox which can be replaced for a more sturdy one (for an M130 for example). This is my first MPEG and I have to say if JGs are all of this quality they may give AEG manufacturers a run for their money if they switch over to metal bodies and quality inners.
SIG 552 w/ M4 Flash hider and Fore grip
Grades
Overall 7 out of 10 (no metal body a few flimsy parts hear and there)
Quality for price 9 out of 10 (hard to beat for price)
Accuracy TBD (dont have but 30 feet to work with right now)
ROF 8 out of 10 (about like a stock AEG, which is awesome for an MPEG)
