Dear All,
I am looking for people who have had experience with Systema Metal bodies.
I have procured one, and for the first time attempted myself to convert a standard Tm Sr16 to the metal body with the included systema metal hopup unit.
Well I will be damned if I didnt lose 5 years of my life last night.
Here are a few questions,
1.
How does systema expect the dustcover to stay closed if they do not provide a latch system that will work with their upper receiver. I attempted to deinstall the lacth system from the original TM dust cover and set it into the systema dustcover, yet the dimensions do not fit, the original latch system is approx 1-2mm o widr, and the neccessary holes for latching in the latch system is not there.
2.
How does systema further expect to recreate the function of the charging handle, if it instructs you to remove the the plastic part that in the original charging handle and dustcover, activates the latch to open the dustcover via the spring to make available the hopup selector wheel.
3.
Why does the systema metal body pretty much make impossible to use the whole great function of the Armalite series receiver that you can disassemble the upper receiver from the lower receiver, if the standard TM gearbox has to be pushed in there so hard, that you are more likely to break something before you can open it.
4. Now this is probably due to fault wire routing, but the motor seems to get stuck now instead of bouncing back at me when pushed down.I think this is realy due to a mistake on my part. I cant realy take the chacne of actually using it now , because I really dont feel like smoking the motor.
5. Body pins. Not doable without a hammer. It is really in now :-)
Otherwise the metal body in correlation to the sr16 RIS makes for a very sturdy AEG. A little bit heavier, but really nominally. And with a Elcan replica installed makes for a very nice toy.
I realy need some people with experiences that have maybe faced these problems and know what the reasons or possibly what solutions they took to get the system to function properly.
Many thanks in advance for any info available.
kind regards
david.
