People rate the Mk23, right? This should work as well as any of them, and parts will be available.
You're getting it in a carbine sized package with a rail and trinket adapter.
The mags are much cheaper than a GBBR. I know this isn't BB, I'm just counting cost per pew.
I assume it's fUlLy UpGrAdEd. There's the TDC hop, for example.
The price isn't outrageous for an uPgRaDeD gun inside a small run of CNC machined bodies.
And marshals will be able spot it and treat it as a potential fps risk, rather than cheeky coves running 2J sniper mk23s but laughing off any thought of a MED.
@Rogerborg - Yeah, people always act like his pricing is outrageous. EUR 135 for an upgraded pistol that comes with a hard case!? Ridiculous! I could just buy a KJW for £90, then change the barrel, bucking, hammer, trigger and get a case separately......
Well to be fair, I bought the SSX because sourcing a clone MK23 + all the parts would've costed me a bit more (because sourcing parts in Italy is an absolute bitch). Quality is what it is, but you get my point. Shame that it doesn't come with a suppressor as standard (but hey, we have @Samuraifor that )
Let's talk carbine kits for a second.
Most of them are 3D printed, some (like Foundry Airsoft's) have metal inserts to increase strength.
Some kits are super overpriced for what you get (E.S.C. predator, that thing SUCKS at €150 without a gun, the guy seems to be the king of retards), others are so poorly made (Silo's and most free/cheap kits on thingiverse/yeggi) they bend if left in a car trunk under the sun.
Pretty much every carbine kit relies on a fuckton of screws (some self threading even) and we all know what happens when you have too many screws (VSRs and old TM AKs anyone?).
His kit is a one piece slab of metal (pot metal you could say) with just a couple of extra pieces. Sturdier construction and doesn't melt/bend when you look at it funny.
He put some clever things inside like the barrel stabilizer and the TDC wheel.
On the wheel, most kits have cutouts on the top rail to allow hop tuning with a hex key, the problem with that system is that most of the times you have to remove the optic to adjust the hop. With the 303 you don't because of the wheel.
The barrel stabilizer may not seem like much, but it helps, even by a tiny bit, with shot consistency, compared to a proper free float barrel. Plus it actually stops the stupid inverted threads from unscrewing themselves when you install a muzzle device.
Overall it seems to be a well thought product, shame that we won't see any before spring 2021 though.
