Most pistons are plastic, often with steel teeth underneath but not always; very common and normal. Pretty sure a steel piston is not usually recommended by most folks in the know, could batter the cylinder head and in turn weak front area of the gearbox casing.

The only VFC AEGs I have are veryyy old, but they had the common AEG spec threads. If you're running in to contradicting reports then it's entirely possible that the mfg has varied their processes and done different specs on different models over time. I've cut a good few AEG upper threads...

You're defo not wrong there are other models which are light and hold more than enough ammo, good options for some people. I just like the ergos and already own roughly 1 trillion AR AEG parts and all the right tools and know how everything goes together, so that's what I largely stick to. Plus...

Better reviews than NAF gets thus far. Any of you folks (or anyone else) done both to compare?

For years I've had this build idea for a dead basic, retro style, plastic AR AEG that can be my easy to carry backup. I always bring a double-rifle bag to games but usually only just use the one 'main' gun, so having the spare be super light would just be better all around. Plus it'd be good to...

I see you're unfamiliar with my level of caveman-style commitment to always 'make it fit' and the amount of 3D printer filament I'm willing to buy. ETA - I'm just going to follow the trail that's already been blazed ahead of me.

I really like to have a little project to work on. The problem is I've always got a little project to work on. Many thanks again to a top mate of mine who helped in sourcing a couple of bits.

If it's the guy I'm thinking of, then as @Cannonfodder says he's run a string of airsoft businesses that start up, promise the world and promptly fail to deliver. Been at it for 15+ years. I can only assume he manages it due to the fact this hobby has a combination of obfuscation for its' niche...

It's an observational satire about how every single thread where any new product that costs a fair bit results in the exact same boringly predictable price rants, because people get riled up in the exact same way every single time an expensive release is announced. I'm not defending the product...

When did Systemas past the £1k point? About 15 years ago? Given the build specs and similar ballpark features for e-volt and the fact PTWs are long out of production, I'd presume that's the market TM is trying to compete in.

With that change the list of what you don't need would be shorter, and you'll need a good few tools if you don't have everything already covered in that regard. Unlikely that everything fits first time (it's airsoft so that's even with good parts, let alone if you use the cheapest stuff) so be...

Well damn.. hope that's not permanent (quite likely will be...).

That video is probably the most uncomfortable watching experience I've ever had with a piece of airsoft related media. Just awful. Great example of how to put nice, chill people off the game and up the chances of people arriving to games with a combative attitude.

That's one of those releases you just can tell is a mere matter of time.
