With the number of overpimped, overaccessorized M4/M16 abominations out there (some of 'em look like the ###### child of a cheese grater, a transformer robot, and a SOG multitool :P), the Systema's foam padded, silver tubed "nightmare" is pretty elegant and conservative...

Not when the company has continually *beep* on consumers because they're pursuing realism and then you see steel stock tubes (real M4s have aluminum anodized ones), foam pads on the stocks, and horrible trademarks, not to mention monkey metal bodies.

It's a fantastic gearbox wrapped around a pretty disappointing quality set of externals. Again GREAT photo, not trying to take anything away from that.

It's not my rifle this time, so no hard feelings. :)

 

The stock tube is IMO aluminium (non-magnetic and machined). We can agree on the lower/upper receiver, which should be better quality for this kinda money, not to mention the mold marks on the pot-metal carry handle. The gearbox is truly fantastic and very high quality. What I do not like on a Training Weapon, is the unoperational charging handle and the bolt release which gives no feedback to the user (no click, spring tension, or anything when pressed).

 

But, back to the topic, pictures!
