OKAY, back again about systema ptw stuff.
I'm trying to make one of the long m16's with the grenade launcher. My issue is I know systema ptw guns use real steel proportions, so I'm worried if I buy an AEG style front end (not the outer barrel just the launcher and top hand guard part) just to get the grenade launcher and made by E&C see attached I'm just wondering if the fittings to get the nade launcher and hand guard/heat sheild would be out of spec to fit a real steel D-ring and front gas block

However they were also known for needing lots of specialist help, motor rewinds and expensive upkeep. Some trooped on through rain storms.....most stopped working in a slightly humid environment....let alone rain (this is an exaggeration), issues with feeding and random mosfet problems.
Like a formula one racing car they were expensive to get, expensive to maintain and easily broken (especially when poor quality bbs were used) and they'd stop working alot. But when they worked - they were pretty much the best on the field.
It's a dying platform now, few are making aftermarket parts, but with the improvements in pretty much all other RIFs, they're now expensive for little (if any) gain.
