Awesome review, probably the most detailed FCC review on the internet. I've been thinking about getting a FCC 416 and I'm pretty much sold at this point.

How well does the burst function work? Are you getting good groupings with it?

The Triburst worked by simply flicking a switch on the board right now on the 416 I got it on semi and full auto set up, while the Triburst was set up on my other two Noveske NST rifles, but tonight at TTAC3 i was getting really nice tight 1.5" groupings at semi(ask Talon) once the hop up got worked in a bit (100 rnds or so) it needs to get worked in a bit more before I give it a final tune but as it stands right now it is getting very sweet

Get the kit... its awesome.

Get the complete rifle is even better, putting a Systema gearbox on a beautiful body like that does not to the kit justice, the smoother cyclic rate of the FCC gearbox makes a TW feels so much better

Some people don't have the luxury of spending that much money..... especially when they already have PTW internals....Systema internals aren't bad. In fact they're more than enough to run a ptw.

I'll probably get the complete PTW since it will be my first one.

Was the 416 battle grip included with the kit? I was under the impression that FCC had not released it yet.

Trust me I understand but before I dived in into a complete rifle, I used to have six of them within that six PTWs only two of them were in excellent working condition, one was a Prime/DTT/Tack mod and the other is the TW5, the rest were in several stage of waiting parts from DTT or waiting for warranty parts from Wallace at Zshot including two brand spanking new 2012 non evolution and evolution model with less than 10 mags fired through them. I couldn't even begin to tell you how much money was sunk into the others over the years, You can say that Wildcard and PTW's have not gotten to a good start (starting with the GEN1).

What made me go all out was mostly a large ditch effort to reevaluate and salvage the technological and design reputation from a AEG parts company that I loved since I started playing airsoft almost two decades ago, plus even with some FCC parts on some of the PTWs I had I was still experiencing issues such as motors heating up and what finally pushed me on over the edge was a old teammate got one of their XM177 complete rifle and he let me play with it (he literally have to pry it off my hands) I couldn't believe how smooth and snappy it sounded when fired. The price difference between a fully factory QC rifle from FCC is not much more or in some cases cost less than a fully titts up PTWs complete with a Prime or any after market mods and the best thing was IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY!. It worked so well that aside from my TW5 I sold all the rest of my PTW including my beloved Prime/DTT/Tack TW (after all issues was finally fixed)

In any case FCC products are like godsent for PTWs owners who have issues with their TW or those who simply just wants more performance, they are a very good investment and byfar the best one I've made in Airsoft.

I got a MOE on mine, I have their pre production 416 battlegrip (Tango down) I find that its too small for my big Asian hands. The G&P PTW Storm grip is a good alternative but I like the feel of the MOE grip

I saw it yesterday and that thing was like butter to my ears, they need to find a way to get that sweet audible chocolate into more PTWs!

Not to go off track but this AK PTW intrigues me. Does anyone have preproduction pics?

Look up their facebook page, they have a computer schematics of it. The "angel king" project has been their not so top secret project. I for one are a few that are patiently waiting for it.

Big Asian hands is a bit of a contradiction, isn't it? :D

Sell it to me, I need one for my 416.

It is Christmas bonus time, I thought I was going to just get a kit, but it was good year.

Not all Asians are small, this Asian is well......pretty big. PM inbound

I found a couple pics with recievers and grips. Looks like its going to be a ak-74m. Woot! If it was a ak-47 I would have been disappointed.

Is there any indication on release period for these?

nope nothing on it but conversation between myself and FCC is they are anticipating a possible 2013 release in addition they are also releasing some new projects, I for one are arranging a special custom Anodized "Twins" model for myself after my first NST "Door Banger" rifle but in full silver and black Anodized, sort of my Pimp gun
