When you can find Real Sword mags they can be up to $45CAD for 150 rounders.... and don't try to talk to Real Sword about a group-buy... trust me. They are extremely difficult to deal with. (They offered me a 20 cent discount per mag when I offered to order 100 mags)
Internals, although being absolutely rock solid are not TM compatible, if a gear strips, you've got to buy a Real Sword gear..
Don't get me wrong, they are absolutely fantastic guns but you have to be willing to continually pony up the cash when it comes to real-sword.

This was all discussed in Silverthorn's last RS thread. The only internals that aren't TM compatible are shell, the piston and sector gear. Anything else is replaceable with aftermarket TM compatible stuff. And since it's hardened and reinforced to hell out of the box, you don't NEED to do anything with it. And it will last a hell of a long time before you need to replace any part. So that's kind of a moot point.
Mags take about 10 seconds to mod with a Dremel. Again, not a big deal.
But I will agree that if you want RS mags (which look so much better since they're real-steel grade exteriors), it's expensive. You're best off ordering them as part of a bigger order from overseas. And still, prepare to pay a nice chunk for them.

Be prepared to get several stick batts as some would not fit into the battery compartment. Or run a LiPo instead.
