I doubt he actually did that.

If he DID do that, he should be removed from the forces. Someone with a short temper (or worse) shouldn't be allowed to use a live (or replica) firearm.

Sounds more appropriate.

Systema gearboxes are around $220 USD on Redwolf or Uncompany. With the exchange rate, shipping fees and potential custom fees, you should be well under $350.

When I look at how much I spent on individual parts for my v2 mechbox, in the end, buying a fully assembled Systema gearbox would have been a much better deal.

I did the exact same thing you did and realized what I should have done. Total cost of my upgrades were more than what the Systema set would have cost me and didn't get the performance I was looking for.

if i had 350 id be buying myself a systema m120 mechbox and motor and a tightbore.

Unfortunately, going anywhere near the Systema complete mechbox route will blow the $340 budget once you include a tightbore inner barrel.

When you're limited on a budget like $340, you'll need set your goals a bit lower...

Yeah That's a good point. Even to here in the states it would be pushing that $350 limit. Illusion, I noticed that some gearbox sets says SR-16/m4 and some just say SR-16. Would even the ones that just specify SR-16 work for the M4 ?

The difference between the two is where the battery wiring goes. M4/RIS/S-System is powered from the front, whereas the M16A2 / SR-16 sets are rear powered.

Beyond that, the internals are completely the same (which is kinda messed, because that means the M16A2 one has an M4 ported cylinder which should be replaced...)

Other than that, if you have a custom M4 with rear power, then you can use an M16A2/SR-16 gearbox in that M4... or if you're adept at resoldering, you can lay down new wiring from front to back or back to front... or any other custom configuration.

Sorry for being a bit late to respond on this;

But.. I'm not going to screw this guy over...

I've decided I'm gonna throw in a new piston, Piston head, Longer tightbore... and come well under the 350 mark.
