So, getting my PTW soon.
Should be here either later today or tomorrow. Also got an Eotech clone on the way. Yay! :cool:
|
damnit
stupid fedex driver entered in on the computer that he came to my house and no one was home...but I am home and no slip or anything was left on my door. DAMNIT. |
Quote:
call fedex about that. |
I did. And sent an email.
This is rediculous. |
Wow, make sure you give them mad shit about this issue so this won't happen to the rest of us :D
|
I always have problems with fedex, canada post and UPS in regards to that. Bastards.
|
fucking purolator did the same shit to me.
Except they did have the slip on the ground in front of the door. The dude probably didn't stick it properly so it got blown there. |
What's the best shipping company to deal with? I'm always having problems like this. It seems like these guys have absolutely no customer focus, the delivery guys I deal with are almost always assholes too.
|
If you're shelling out for a PTW, why are you getting a replica Eotech over the real thing?
|
i don't know, it's not as important to me?

But if I even sense somoene who owns a ptw using crap soft BBs in it, I will fly to where they live and fornicate them with a 12 inch falic shaped device. No softair bb should ever touch a systema gun. |
Why not use cheaply made 6mm paintballs in it?

Hmmm, that’s odd… it’s usually UPS that do that sort of thing…and then $40 brokerage fee crap… avoid UPS like the plague! I’ve never had any problems with FedEx
Have a little sympathy for them, it’s hard to keep schedule some days! |

You. Your getting something special for even joking about it. All Tokyo baby, no lube. Bite the headboard, Im going in dry. |
For certain that was the most twisted comment of the day.

i got the MAX M4 with 3-round burst. took it to one of our small skirms with about 50 people on sunday and tried it out....wow! shot further and better than any gun i've ever owned. the 3-round burst rocks! it makes such a distinct sound compared to any other gun on the field that everyone always knew where i was. the gearbox sounds effortless when it fires, not whiney like most other guns, but turns over so hard the gun has a small amount of recoil. you're gonna love it. again, congrats! oh, by the way, if you need any mags, batteries or extra cylinders, let me know....we are a systema PTW dealer. |
Arrgghh.. all of you are making me want mine noww.... Shit. November is so far away...
|
Ive got something you might want...

I'm getting the pre-assembled MAX M4A1... >_< |
haha 900....ya :(
|
Quote:
if you don't mind me asking, how much does the full gun cost you guys? what about pricing on cylinders, mags and batteries? |
A&A has the M4 MAX listed at 2499.95$ + shipping. Jeeeeeeeeeesus.
The M16A3 is like 500 less or so. These things look pretty bad ass though. Wish I didn't have a get a new car... |
Quote:
They generally go for $1,900-$2,500 , though. |

so yeah, according to fedex it will be here in 1/2 an hour

Guys can argue over real vs. clone, but when my clone-equipped PTW tags a guy at 300+ feet, real makes absolutely no difference. Funny thing is, I've done that to guys with the real EoTech, when their gun fell 100 feet short of me. The gun means everything. What you put on it means nothing as long as it doesn't intefere with the operation or structural integrity of the gun. Use a clone if you want. The real one doesn't perform any better on an airsoft gun. |

Safe to assume he's enjoying his new toy? Or still waiting by the door? |
still waiting...damn fedex
|
it finally arrived.
i'm trying to get the receiver open but it won't give, is there something I am missing? |
Pop out the rear pin, and using some force, you can pop the receiver open.
Best way is to place the gun in your lap, right side facing you, handle towards your stomach, barrel aiming to your right. Wrap your left fingers around the buffer tube, and use your thumb to push up on the forward-assist knob. Might need to use your right hand to help push up on the forward-assist knob. Use your left hand's fingers to maintain downward pressure on the buffer tube. It's a safer way than "slapping" it open like some videos show. Yeah, you can do it to a real steel gun, but it doesn't mean you *SHOULD* do it. Be gentle with anything and it will last longer. |
i got it open once, does it get easier after a bit of wear?
|
Yep they do WarHawk. Once it has been opened a few times it will get a little easier.
The first time I tried opening mine I was afraid I was going to damage something due to the amount of effort I had to use. And at least there are 2 PTW's on 'the Island'.......I am sure a few more will be added to the total in the future *wink* |
Oh hey tristan, game on tomorrow? ;)
|
Usual place and time Warhawk!! check ya pms.
|
K, nevermind...forgot I had two chargers, doh!
|
just test fired it.
omg the rate of fire is AMAZING, and it shoots incredibly straight. I have the CQBR version btw pics to follow |

I see. You'll be liking this gun when you get to game it. Spend some time with the hop-up so that you get the sweet spot. Then it's all magic!!
Just remember to perform some regular maintenance (just like any precision instrument) and you'll have alot of good gaming from it. Congrats on your new acquisition and welcome to Club MAX!!! |
Quote:
Yeah. Goodluck with your new toy, warhawk! Do you like what's behind the ejection port cover? :p |
Hey Kos, I would've used the lisp emoticon, but I couldn't find it, lol!!

are all PTWs grayish like that?
The pics in Gun Digest 2007 and here shows that it's pretty damn gray... I also don't understand... what makes these PTWs so special from other AEGs? |

Quote:
You kidding right? You must be... to ask a question like that. |
TM s like the KD of airsoft, original, good, decent and satisfying.
A systema gun is like KD, where the noodles are plated in gold and covered in diamonds and the cheese sauce is actually a pool of naked hot women. |
Quote:
|
I will allow someone who has a better understanding of how a systema work to explain.
Im not worthy. |
Quote:
Heh, not to mention the functioning bolt-release, and fully retractable charging handle. OR.. the fact that it's built exactly like (dimension wise) a Real Steel AR...Actually, didn't you (mcguyver) say that it actually seems like it's better finished than your bushmaster (ew) ? EDIT: There's just tooo much to say about the PTW.. and I don't even own one yet. |
A quick look at the pic's of the challenger kit and you can see why they are so great. I just hope they hurry up with their PTW handgun. no more buying tm and missmatch parts to build a killer piece.

I will wait to see what comes from Systema, their website says they are developing SMG and handgun. and im happy with the one I got for now.
Quote:
|
trying to understand why systema is "so good" is impossible.
For me, I had the question as well.... ... but as soon as I held a PTW, the fate of my three "standard" armalite AEGs was determined: "sell them - acquire PTW." You just can't describe it. It must be felt... |
Quote:
Hahaha. Did the PTW's owner make you clean the jizms off his gun? Or did you do it voluntarily ? |
Quote:
... all that mattered, was that it was a PTW. Once you grip that barrel in your hand, all you want to do is just keep stroking that shaft... |
Quote:
Eh, do any of you guys know if systema makes a 20 round mag (car-15 style)? |
Quote:
Quote:
And yeah, the fit and finish is better than my real AR. Hold a PTW and you're sold. The performance is all gravy. |
But I'm pretty sure it can take alot more than a G&P, or G&G body..

i own an airsoft store, and thus, pretty much have my pick of anything i want. my personal weapons are typically some of the scariest weapons in our league. most of them have obscene amounts of money invested in them, with the best of everything. now that i got a PTW, every other gun in my personal arsenal is now up for sale. if you have the opportunity to ever get a PTW, just do it. sell all your other guns, sell your first-born child, sell your soul. whatever you need to do, you won't regret it. it is, simply, the best. the uber gun. |

"Is it REALLY necessary to have a proper license to import Airsoft guns?" That's the question there. I've had Mk23 type silencer shipped from WGC shop to here. And the customs had inspected it and evidently opened up my package to see the silencer. When I was taxed, the customs receipt had the following written: Shipment Value: $280 - GUNS, Parts - Tax: $xxxx So they ACTUALLY knew that it was a "Gun" part and they actually gotten it to me. I don't have ANY firearms license or anything, neither does anyone living on my address. I had just emailed CBSA about this. Hoping to get a reply soon. |
Paintball guns are not "perfectly legal" in Canada. Trust me, I've fought Customs on this a time or 2 before. If it looks like a gun, hoses or not, they can and will classify it as a "replica", which means prohibited. I have fought them on appeal and lost more than I won.
You may have had some success selling to Canadians. But most Canadians have not had success. Why do you think there are no retailers in Canada? The paintball trick has been tried before and to no avail. You may get lucky and get a CBSA agent who could care less, or you may get one that actually enforces their own published policies. Like any civil service, you take your chances. Most gun parts are legal to import without a license. The CBSA has a watchlist of certain parts, like lower receivers, FA kits for AR's, etc. |
no wonder so many people from the states had been able to bring their Airsoft guns here.
I will try it when I'm going seattle this year =DDDD |
WarChild7 its still smuggling, and thats an illegal act. Last I checked your country has a fun time trying to stop such things; doesn't help when it gets promoted to the public.
Sure, you can get away with at the border, but not getting caught doesn't make it any less of a crime then if you were caught. |

where can one order systema PTW? How about g&p rifles? I checked at aasurplus.ca but it was out of stock, I also emailed Mark last week but until now I haven't got any reply.
|
i got mine from a&a
|
I asked about a PTW from A&A and he told me as long as its in stock at redwolfairsoft.com or wgcshop.com he can get it within 2-3 weeks.
|
thanks guys. how does one get age-verified at a&a?
|
As far as I know they don't have an age verification system, I have ordered from them many times but have never done anything to confirm my age. Maybe they check ASC?
|
Madmax is selling a Systema CQBR PTW for a good price. You should try and contact him.
|
Quote:
ybrik would have to get age verified here on ASC before he could get the PTW from Madmax. |
Maybe there's more than 1 for sale. ;)
I'm not sure if anyone on the island has one yet...... |
by the time he gets age verified it'll be sold. remember, its a month long minimum process. iv been waiting like, 5
|
how to get age verified here at ASC? do i need something like requests for the moderator?
