Hi Guys some days ago I saw this ad and thought daaaamn great deal for a PTW, it is broken but I do have spare systema PTW parts at home so I jumped into it. Even if his Trade rating is 0, seems this person has been a member for pretty long so I decided to trust it. Contacted the owner, sent the payment and about a week after got the gun.

I saw the body had no markings, but assumed it was a challenge kit.
Yesterday after a couple of days with the gun at home I had the chance to inspect and open, and for my surprise it is an A&K PTW (PTW Clone) not a Systema. Sent the seller a msg and asked for explanation.

This is the ad;

Now I'm trying to fix the issue with the seller (asked for full refund except shipping or to make a deal for the actual value of a broken A&K PTW -CLONE-).

So my question is, am I wrong by assuming when u say I have a PTW for sale you are talking about a Systema PTW? I mean I started playing airsoft in 2008 and when u talk about a PTW you talk about systema, if not u say CTW, or DTW or A&K PTW, or you mention the fact that is a CLONE, even for the AIRO.

Im not going to enter into details about how the discussion is going with the seller because we are just starting to talk. But I want to be sure Im not the one who is wrong here, because If I fucked up then I will assume my mistake and let it be. But his ad is missing information besides some other issues he forgets to mention like the buffer tube is very loose, the ECU was replaced, about the issue with the gun, I dont mind it, it can be motor or gearbox (its provably gearbox).

But again I was expecting a Systema and paid the price of a broken systema, and got a gun that brand new is wort $300 broken for $650, so yes, feels pretty much like shit.
