Happy New Year...well it was.

Seems the new Orions are no better than my standard V2 then.  Still, would that red one be worth the £90 if only for the cylinder,  Titan and trigger?  Tye can be transplanted once again when the time comes?  Would only be running git at standard AEG limits. 

I would not use an Orion gearbox, but if that is what fits in your RIF...

I do think it's helpful of Specna to have named their gearbox, so that we can know what to avoid.

Would rather they spent the marketing budget on a few microns extra material.... or perhaps use a.real metal.

The hunt continues... ?

Is that gearbox radiused? It's too late for that though. 

Just double checked and it had been radiused.  Which is disturbing too.  How much difference is there really in the different options not from a specific metal?

It is very kind of them.

Recently got a SLONG (revised version) of it's V2 shell for some testing, was impressed with the finishing on it, powder coating I think, very smooth and clean.  It's missing some radius, got QD, very decent stainless steel spring guide with a bearing.  Could do with some better wire channelling.   On the surface compatibility looks good but till you try it in every brand you never quite know.
