Or variations in compression between guns ?
Would be interesting to see the fps consistency between shots on these

I have a tm a2 phantom and I just swap in the jg a3 front end if I want to go cqb with it . 10 second swap over. . The a3 front is sooo heavy though , and very solid . The ris rail has been sawn back on the gun in that picture as it actually extends right back to where the scope sits .

Is this solvable with thread lock ? As I have a compact and have only used it for 2 skirmishes so far , no issues yet . May strip it down and thread lock all the screws etc ..

Lack of lube and maintenance ??

Don't get the S&t tavor !! Terrible plastic body , brittle , cheap looking. And actually a lot worse than the terrible ares version .Was going to get the S&T Tavor with metal gearbox but I'm getting the UAR instead. Looks super easy to work on if needed. Are there any M16/M4 magazines that will work without having to make modifications?
Would rather let a rat nibble my privates , than buy one of these terrible abortions of an Airsoft gun. Has absolutly no + points at all .. Stay well clear mate .

Any gun run on 11.1 battery's will destroy it trigger contacts faster than if you use a 7.4 battery unless you fit a MOSFET . ! Absolute fact ...
If uscm s gun has held up for 16 months it is a good sign . As ares pistons did have a well documented reputation for failing with 11.1 battery's .
Not all ares guns are bad though , my m4 cqbr custom is coming up for 4 years old and has only had one failure , which was the motor whilst under warranty . Apart from that it has been good as gold . I only run7.4 in it though .
Time will tell with the pdr . It does have a warranty in place so it will either prove itself or magpull will be getting a lot of warranty claims . How they uphold those claims will be the make or break on this model ,

No one can decide how satisfied someone else is with their purchase . Its his perogative and if he says 100% that's his own opinion on his gun .
This is not zero one or communist china where you have to disregard someone else's opinions because it Dosnt agree with your own !

I still think the real sword guns have the best plastics available on any Airsoft gun produced .but then they do use real steel materials in their construction ( norinco )
As for the pdr , every gun has a weak spot somewhere and if its unlucky enough to land on it breakage will happen . Its just a case of hoping it can be mended / replaced for sensible money . Or hopefuly with a bit of invention strengthened/ repaired

Meh to magpul . I am going to get dunlop to make me a rubber reciever !! Lol
As for strong plastic guns don't forget the near nigh unbreakable body of the tm famas . And its abs

Swelled lipo video please . Lol
-
Just saw a perfect anology for this gun . ' you need hands like Jeremy beadle to hold it properly ' lol
As for running a standard gun that's not specifically designed to run an 11.1 lipo . Big no no unless you have fitted a MOSFET to stop the trigger contacts arcing out and wearing prematurely .

Correct

The warranty is not void if the shop you brought it from does the work for you . Many of my guns have had improvements to them , tightbore,motors , bearings , gearsets etc whilst still being covered under warranty .
Depends on the retailers I suppose when it comes down to wArranty rules and what is covered . Some being better than others .
I have never had any issues with the shops I use

so, did the guys at epicairsofthd know that its got a quick change spring gearbox? they didnt mention it at all and even advertised the sponsor for the go to place to get the spring change.
And charge you 20 quid for a 20 second job ! £1.00 pound a second , now that's what I call an earner

It does help buyers due to the fact that magpul spares are only available from registered magpul pts retailers so if you do get issues that will be your first port of call . Some shops just sell guns , other shops have bulletproof reputations to uphold and will do their utmost to help the customer and keep that reputation intact .
Pts magpul run a closed shop when it comes to obtaining spares etc . So you can't order bits direct from them if you are not a regognised retailer .
Every gun has its issues and foibles , some are solvable , some you have to live with or improve yourself . Even systemas are notoriously bad out of the box . Its up to the consumer if they buy one or not . I myself don't like ares gearboxes but I have to admit after a new motor and a couple of tweaks my m4 cqbr has been very reliable and shoots well . Whereas my umarex g36c has been one of the most unreliable guns I have ever owned , yet other people really rate them .nowadays I play smart and only buy guns with long warrantys on them , that way if it goes tits up I get a replacement or refund . Pro Airsoft give 2 year warrantys on all their top tech guns and back it up . So that way I get to skirmish for two years with no worries ..it depends how long the warranty is on the pts pdr and if its issues are solvable , from what I have seen so far it appears they are .

I'm also an Engineer (Automotive) and so I'm no stranger to customer satisfaction and design faults. Products are rushed out of the door in every industry to meet the project deadlines and ease investor angst, however, it's a risk companies take, it's now down to the consumer to decide whether that risk was justified or not.
That's the reason why you buy from a retailer that has good warrantys . Repair facilities . And excellent customer service .
The amount of cars that get faults from new , design errors , faulty parts , recalls is still very high .
Same with an Airsoft gun . If you buy from a reputable retailer the problems are the retailers to solve . If you decide to buy elsewhere be it on your own head if an issue arises .
I have seen 50,000 pound cars with problems from new , same with cheaper models . Do I slate of the product ? , nope , I take it back to where I brought it . How you are treated and how good the outcome of the problem is , will determine my reaction ...

I use frog lube on all my aeg gearboxes , linkages ,and also some of my kit . Popper studs, zips etc also use it in all my gbb pistols etc . It is also a very effective waterproofing agent alongside it lubricating properties . Only trouble is I smell like a dental surgery every time I skirmish ...

For me it comes down to the price point , 100/199 pounds and I know it is gonna need a few upgrades to keep up with a more upmarket gun .
200 / 300 pounds , I expect a reliable above average , skirmishable weopon out of the box which may have minor niggles ( hop rubber, reshim ,tightbore etc )
300 pounds and above
I want a reliable out of the box skirmishable weopon with a decent warranty and nothing to put right apart from maybe a spring downgrade
400 pounds and above ..
It better work or its gonna get wedged up some retailers brown area !!
