IF VFC made a GBB M4 it would put ALL other GBB M4s to shame.

I like VFC's attention to detail, (besides the SR-16 markings on the SR-15). Had I not gotten a G&P, VFC would be next on my list.
On another note, though this Mk12 is the first high end MK12, I personally prefer the Mod 0. |

Not quite fully correct. The Mod 1 has the Ergo grip not the standard A2 grip. VFC guns are very detailed and they're up to date with modern firearms, but their internals are still a little iffy. --------------------  PEW!-PEW!-PEW!! |

Their cylinder components are some of the best in the industry. Ive run their pistons for well over 100k rounds. Their gearsets function just fine up to 400 fps even with the autoshim feature. I have a VFC gearbox running the 7mm nylon bushings, stock components minus a slight reshim of the bevel gear height at 350 fps and 24 rounds per second that passed 130k rounds a month ago. Their hopup buckings are decent but can be upgraded just like on basically every other out of the box rifle. The hopup units are wonderfully constructed and feature an excellent airseal. So in closing, what are you talking about? -------------------- Wasted__youf: "seriously, who *fruitcage* cares! Go get laid."

So in closing, what are you talking about? Ownage!!! I'm glad to hear that your VFC is running great. I wanted an Avalon Mk.18 Mod.0 so bad but had a better offer on a G&P so..... Either way the SPR looks great. Throw on a Harris 6''-9'' bipod and a Leupold M3(replica of course) and you're set.. -Luis -------------------- Sellng my whole WA/AGM M4 GBBR Set-up!!!!

It was meant to be posted as FACTS instead of hearsay and conjecture like Hispeed has posted in the past concerning VFC internals. I personally own six VFC rifles and none of them have given me any problems. Ive worked on well over 60 VFC rifles and again, all of the components were top notch except for early issues with the VFC 416 switch harness. -------------------- Wasted__youf: "seriously, who *fruitcage* cares!

Just to add the other side to the VFC internals debate, the bushings in my AKSU cracked on the guns first outing. Everything else in there seems to be rock solid tho.

No, but I wouldn't be surprised if they exist.
*edit - after talking with some SEAL reps at the last local demo they had, it's all up to individual preference for those - whatever gives them the best cheekweld and grip. They indicated that they 'own' the rifles, not sure how true that is but my understanding is that they're not pulled willy-nilly from an arsenal rack.
