Systema Engineering have mailed in a couple of answers to posers that may have been keeping you awake at night. If you’ve ever wondered why the o-ring (part number cu-009) changed colour:
Q: I did see that the o-ring (CU-009) has a new color (white/yellow/transparent). Did you change the material?
A: Yes, we improved it. Material is urethane. For O rings, it is a very new material. It is used for the head of the hammer made of resin. It is highly durable material.
With this O ring, we could realize about 3 times as durable as conventional. First, we adopted it only for MAX in a tentative way. Then, we adopt it all the models this time. Although it is powerful… it is a problem that price is expensive.
And for anyone worrying about the time it takes them to make the CQBR:
Q: I heard it takes a long time to deliver PTW-CQBR. Why?
A: CQBR need long time for delivery, I will make it balance of the order. Until now, for the barrel of CQBR, we cut the barrel which is processed for M4 one by one. It is too wasteful! (I did not imagine it is so popular like this.)
Since stock level of the barrel for M4 also became low this time, we produce the barrel only for CQBR. Therefore, it takes some time. Best regards, Kumi
One random update complete, more to go. Okay.. so we’re on the Systema mailer list, so we get all their mails intended for dealers/retailers/public, so some it’s very relevant to the general masses.
