finally upgrades for the t-89, but what gets me is why make it for such a niche gun?

For anyone interested in these gas gearboxes I suggest checking out the thread on ClassicAirsoft.net.

PS Looking forward to getting the Type89 gearbox, perhaps they made it just for me smile.gif

sniperx is saying TOP is misstating themselves and that the TOP M60s will not have a kit for them because the gun can't handle the recoil. Escort is washing their hands of this announcement it seems.

I don't think I would trust the Type 89 blowback kit. The cocking handle on mine gets extremely loose after similar bolt-racking motion. I'd be surprised if it didn't separate from the bolt carrier.

He is saying that the complete system is escourt and top did not do any thing to it, why so eager to brand himself? I don't know. But how could a complete steel kit not withstand that system is another question!
I think its 590 for the kit

She stood tall and majestic. She radiated fury. She shouted: "Who has disturbed me?" But then, anger expelled, she felt the sadness beneath; she let her breath fall softly, like a sigh, like ashes floating gently on the wind.
She couldn't understand why they chose to flirt so closely with the death of the world.

that was a hint of sacasim, it shows the despiration of sniperx trying to bring escourt system in mianstream airsoft markets. ofcourse, the reason why they could never achive that is due to out rages pricing, over sea shopping, and a whole lot of bs you'd have to put up with from sniperx....... One of their cost cost about a whole year for you to recive, and his attitude is definantly not customer friendly. oh and why not get a online webpage? enstead of relying on CA.net to do all of his work!

so im not the only on who thinks that way about sniperx
Honestly, I think escourt will do alot better without him, and lower the price a bit.

Ditto, though if there was any profit in a lowpower external gas rifle they would have been buried by any machinist willing to invest the time in remaking the system without the stupid "failsafes" (read poor engineering decisions)
You'll never hear anything but "the gun was too weak for our mighty escort system" from him as a reason why they backed out of a deal with anyone, but I guarantee that its because top didnt want to quadruple the cost of thier guns tossing shoddy brass internals into them. The excuse is allways either "we only make the guns FOR XYZ company, so its not our fault they fail!" or "our system is TOO GOOD for XYZ"
I wouldn't be putting it past sniperx to be putting out newsposts like this through proxies in order to stay in the headlines, you can only promise the holy grail of airsoft guns and other nonsense for so many years before everyone catches on that they are just putting new pants on the same horse. The products they have released that weren't just that are so bad its hard to tell if they aren't a joke.

exactly,their excuse for saying AEG bodies are too weak is over runed by the escourt based hk 416 by vfc, I trust in the quallity of their product, but not their characters.

This thread has been reported.

After reading through it, all I can see is that certain people aren't satisfied by the level of products and service they are seeing produced by certain manufacturers.

Hardly a new thing is it?

Unless somebody posts something that breaks forum rules, please don't report any more threads. Pavel.
