Yeah but it makes you able to do kick flips mid game and 740 turns jumping out the window in HRTA.,

Temptation increases yet again.

I've a few people in touch with me from Berget wanting to shift their very nice rifles on me, though I'd need to take out a loan for one. Remember those ads where students would tell the bank manager something, then subtitles says something else

" I need 3 grand for my college fees "
** I want to buy a Systema to brap noobs lolz**

I'm still researching in very fine detail in forums/sites worldwide, because i dont want to make the investment without having some sort of fallback should the thing break(which seems a rarity)

But the whole " Systema are gone from airsoft" is leaving me feeling concerned and ultimatly bottling it

i love how the galil is now apparently an lsw because it has a bipod... good old ICS misunderstanding everything

Though looks like thier l86a2 is a visual improvement on the l85a2

gungun

ah sure support weapns have gone to the dogs
look at the IAR
its basically just an m4 with open bolt fireing but its a replacment for the m249

Leave off the fella.... Not every retailer starts at the dizzying hights of highstreet airsoft stores.
A lot of the irish stores you consider 'professional' that started just as humbly. Judge not by what someone starts out as, but what they make it into.

The things break quite often Doc, Especially 08 and 09 models, the last and most prolific in stock. If you can find an 07 model they are quite good for the systemas, but the guns overall range and accuracy is dire for the price...

If i were to drop a grand on an assault rifle, id expect it to aim for me... not something thats on a par with a Dboys m4 in combat terms. Gucci... lovely, practical? improve your game? Nah

Masada

Some nice grips on RSOV at the moment.., 3 different types on there.,

Forgot to add the other pics eariler, here they are.

Those second ones are nice

Fallschirmjager

have not seen these in a while, cant remember who used to build these, but for 28 dollars on px-airsoft, it seems like good value...particularly for those going to berget or those of us who always seem to be one hand short with v2 gearboxes...

Firekitten

you could always just place a magnet under the gearbox when you open it... Look mommy! no hands!

Puding

you could always just place a magnet under the gearbox when you open it... Look mommy! no hands!

and how would that be relevant to a quick change spring, quick change would always be more convenient than opening the gearbox fully

Firekitten

as you'd have to take the gearbox out of the gun anyway, its about 2 seconds effort to open it as oposed to the same mechanism to take out the spring part... after stripping the whole gun to get its gb out, id not pay 28$ for saving about a minute.... I can see it being of benefit in the mp5 perhap, where its acessable. The point of 'quick change' is that its quick...

Spetzcong

I can see this being handy if you're a mechanical nightmare and can't open a gearbox without sending gears and stuff flying all over the shop. Practise makes perfect though. As FK says in a lot of AEGs actually getting the gearbox out is 80% of the work so I can't see it saving a huge amount of time. Still a nice system though, would have saved me a lot of hassle the first few times I opened up a GB.

Leftyflip

I'll probably still end up buying one, can't imagine it being much more convienient.

Puding

as you said m4 maybe not as good, mp5 perfect, and for all those people who may not be as confident opening a gearbox would still be easier, admittedly the star system is far more practical as no need to take the gearbox out but i would not dismiss this, remember people do not necessarily have your confidence and supreme skill with a gearbox

gungun

i myself am terrified of going near a gearbox
especialy after seeing vids of v2s where you have to put presure on the spring and that lark
one of those yokes would be handy to get into the whole thing

Why thankyou puding, supreme sarcasm aside naturally

Yeah, i just think the system is a little overcomplicating... What do you think it will do to the gearbox integrity? under the strain that v2s are, i can see this making a few more fracture quicker...

Gungun: you have to do that to nearly any gearbox frankly... although with a few sneaky cheats like i mentioned above with a magnet holding all the gears and the ever freedom loving anti reversal latch in thier bushings, it frees up your hands to hold the cylinder and spring down as you put things back together or take apart.... Although the number of times ive been hit by spring guides is uncountable...

Fallschirmjager

i have heard of that trick before FK, do you perhaps know where i can get said magnet(s) or is it a particular shape perhaps??. I guess it is something flat to fit underneath the GB. I would be interested in your suggestions here as since i am about to redo a GB i will try it. thanks for the help

These work fine:

These are better again but more expensive:

However the magnets taken out of an old HDD will do just fine.

Puding

tried the magnet technique, never got on with it myself, but what ever get the job done nice links thought for anyone looking to try it

Masada

Magnets dont stick all that well to most gearsets thanks to a low iron content so its a bit pointless. I originally came up with that idea and got dex to pick up a strong magnet for me.
The reason I used it was for stubborn anti reversal latches and their springs. its not always needed though and in most cases you'll find rotating the gears until the latch engages and then going backward will hold it in well if you know what your doing. Theres also the matter of having the gearbox shell on a flat surface to keep everything stable and having a magnet under there will complicate that.
A magnet can sometimes hold a spring in place if its a really strong one but i don't fancy relying on that to hold all that pressure, Take your eye off it for a second and it could bite ya in the arse.

If ya go for a magnet though, you can get some really strong rare earth neodymium magnets with a 20-40lb lifting capacity on ebay and their quite small. I wouldn't bother though,

Thats a class design of a gearbox though, it'll make things a lot easier when trying to get a nice FPS without being too close to the limit. Very handy too for trips abroad when you dont wanna have to remove everything else off the gun just to remove the spring. No risk of messing up the shims etc, Especially if your doing it in the field
