Can anyone explain the difference? VR16 or Avalon

[Pbomb]

The maple leaf hop up and barrel was also Mentioned as well

as for spring, I'm with you. it's unlikely that you get into a situation where you need to change it quickly or often

I got a reply from RWA today.

That is quite a difficult question, 
 
Main difference we know is the Avalon one has a longer inner barrel with a M-lok rail and the VR-16 has a keymod rail, a few other small differences in furniture but that's about it. Also the Avalon comes with a Polymer gun case and the VR-16 doesn't.

Wow, that's an amazing response.

To be fair the manufacturer would be the best to ask, the shops are only going to know what the manufacturers tell them in the brochure.

I'd find it a little difficult to write a review as the only thing I have to compare it to are a few loan RIF's from friends and sites. That said I'm not disappointed in my purchase at all.

If I'd of changed anything I'd have asked gun-fire to downgrade it to 330-340fps for me before shipping. I didn't realise you could do that. So when it arrived it was shooting to hot at 370fps for the sites I would play at. Being a noob I then thought I'd use the spring guide on here and just replace the spring with an M100 to get it down to to 330fps. However, it actually raised it to 410fps! After getting an M90 spring and putting a few thousand rounds through it, it came down within scope.

I'm glad it has a quick spring change on the gearbox. Even though actually getting the gearbox out is a challenge, but it's the same on all M4's.

After an email from VFC who have been good at support, they suggested using an 11.1v battery as standard. I noticed it was much snappier, but I also suffered a few overspins firing two rounds at a time. So I've stepped back to a 7.4v. It will happily take a 1300mAh crane type lipo or a 1100mAh single stick. Either of them happily last me for an all day Sunday game.

Trigger response and accuracy are very good. I'm pleased with how well it groups my shots. The stock iron sights line up perfectly with my red dot so I can use them without removing it if the battery runs out.

Before I purchased I did read some comments about the stock being rattly and it's a fair criticism. It has some movement on the buffer tube so it will rattle.
