Then what would be the point of buying a pre-built gun, only to take it apart right away? About half of the VFC 's out there have been proven to have internals problems... If I'm paying $1250 for a gun it better last far longer than 500 rounds. The major pro of the VFC when it was released is it's pre-built ready to go, this is no longer a pro if you're likely to get one that doesn't work.
The RIS front sight is sweet, but if you're not looking for the CQB look this is a non-issue - notice what length both guns in this thread happen to be?
The stock included with the Hurricane kit is an HK417 style stock, and it holds a large cell 9.6v battery, far more practical than PEQ box which adds weight and ruins the balance of the gun. Changing the battery is a piece of cake too, pop off the cheekpad and it slides right in.
I've chronied the VFC version a month or so back it clocked in at 320-325-ish..... even if you get a good one you'll need to change out at least the spring if you want to match what a G&P or Systema M120 gearbox would shoot at.
And doesn't the VFC come with a plastic hop-up similar to the ones you'd find in $200 China Airsoft guns?
I realize your argument is primarily in the cosmetic aspects, but if you want a well rounded gun that will PERFORM, the Hurricane kit is the way to go.
