Some people disagree with this and say its all hype or the PTW isn't nearly as good as many say it is but I don't know a single person who thinks that after handling one for even 2-3 minutes.
When I added up what I spent on my other armalites, that is exactly what I thought. So the decision was unanimous, a PTW MAX it was going to be. I can use RS accessories (and receivers with little work), I can swap my FPS way the heck faster, and I have something that is reliable in semi and does burst. I am happy.

As for buying, nice to have stuff to repair problems:

-Systema Cylinder Rebuild Kit, can't hurt to have a few.
-Systema Hop Up Chamber Kit, let you fool around and have a spare.
-Systema PTW Hop Adjuster Set with Cushions, even more backup.
-Systema Cylinder Grease, meh, designed for PTW, might as well use it.


edit: awh, what the heck, I like it... Magpul PRS:
