You know, I've often wondered if the keep the best electronics and parts for the assembled guns, and give the slightly off-spec stuff to the kits. In Europe, they buy "B" and "C" grade PTWs, usually because they have cosmetic or casting flaws. The receivers are stamped inside the magwell according to grade. I mean, I don't work in the factory, so who knows?

But I can tell you that rarely have I seen an assembled gun fail (once in fact), and alot of kits fail. Do they have these failures at the factory with assembled guns, then fix them with the appropriate parts, at the same rates that the kits fail. Systema engineers and technicians can't fix your kit for you when you live in Saskatchewan or anywhere other than Japan. You may have bought an assembled gun that had major failures at the factory, but you'd never know because Systema fixed the problem.

Just like when you go and buy a brand new car. It could have horribly failed QC at the factory, but you'll never know that as it's fixed before it gets to you. That alone makes the extra cost justified.

Nice idea for the 3-burst switch, Max. Most guys stuff it wherever they can.
