I take it the front ends are interchangeable? Also.. does anyone know what the receiver is made from? It's not T7 aluminum, is it?

They break down just about exactly like a real M4. Being milspec standard in proportion means being able to use rails you couldn't put on a typical AEG (without involved modification). The receiver is regular cast aluminum. Systema made concessions for legal and cost reasons - the gun can never be made to fire a real bullet with a cast aluminum receiver.

But it's popular in Europe to buy real AR receivers and use them for a PTW. Some guys have done 80% lowers, stripped uppers and stripped lowers.
For obvious reasons, you wouldn't want to do that in Canada, uppers excepted though.

MacGuyver whats your take on the new generation PTW's? Is it worth while selling off my Systema and upgrading to a newer version? Or are they still comparable enough?
Asking Mac this because he's probably owned and operated more Systema's then most people ever will. |

I took a huge gamble selling off all my other guns to buy the new PTWs. I really had no idea how the MAX guns would perform as the my old M16A3 has performance like a mildly upgraded AEG. The new ones just blow anything else away. I have range and accuracy with a CQB-R that guys with heavily upgraded M14s or M16s can't match. I can alter my platform from CQB and 300 fps to long-distance shooting at 500 fps in less than a minute (including battery change). Now, the cylinder kits for the M16 are not compatible with the M4, but parts are available to to make them compatible for about $150. You can make your old M16 perform just like a new MAX gun for about $700, including new lower gearbox, motor, tightbore barrel kit, spring guide and cylinder lock kit and electronics. Considering you'll pay $2k minimum for a new one, you can bring your old one up to current performance standards for the cost of upgrading a Marui to basic performance standards. And the work will take about an hour to do and is quite simple really. After buying the MAX M4's and fielding them now a few times, I can say it's worth selling all your other guns and focusing just on them. I wouldn't sell your M16, as the platform for unbelievable performance is basically there, you just need a few parts to bring up to that level.

Depending on your point of view, Brad is either the best guy or worst guy to ask if you should spend money on PTWs, lol.

Oh yeah, I meant to point out its possible to see Bruces Eotech lens protector on the 512, still going strong after a couple years. A great investment. THanks to you bud.

That case is unbelievably sick.
Where did you get the laser cutting done? |

Great finish man, not to draw attention away from the awsome PTW, but what grip is that on your Sig? 228 or 6?

Thanks guys
![]() The SIG is a Marui base with the Guarder metal frame and slide. It has 'real steel' Pachmayr grips installed, which worked in the end, but took a lot of dremelling.

what paint did you use on the sig? we did the "combat" mod to a teammate's sig recently with a layer of krylon but it wears easy. yours looks glossier.
