No

The furniture is more or a Magpul style design of anything.

Here is mine. The camo tape expands and contracts to cover more or less of the gun as needed.

Think mine will break shape before yours. I have 2 different rifle ghillie wraps for mine as well. I'll post a pic of it.

Cool, saw it online overseas... looks nice and very flexible to customize fit. Should be here soon according to chatter... gonna guess between $80-$110cad when it hits the shelves initially.

No word yet on the co2 kit tho...

Not that it's a problem as I can't go over 450 FPS on my local field but I really wish they would release a cylinder volume upgrade.

I think they have. People are dumping 160's in them and they're handling it. Getting over 500

Where have you seen this cylinder *volume* upgrade?

I wouldn't worry about cylinder volume as owners have been reaching 300-350 feet no problem. Although we haven't tried testing joule difference between the stock and edgi kit. I'll ask the boys to do some chrono tests.

Also people just started receiving their mancraft co2/hpa conversion kit and we should see some results in a few weeks.

Here's sniper mechanic's modded gspec striker with his joule results.

I misread the volume part.

Doesn't matter look at all the short stroke AEG's.

FPS doesn't really mean that much. Accuracy is more.

Reaching 300-350 and hitting a target with force, or just reaching?

Only use sniper in winter, so co2 might not be too useful for me. Not a fan of HPA.

Do you really want to run around with this fugly thing?

If a person is getting hits at 300 feet, who cares about force.

Your questions is a bit biased based on what you prefer. If you don't like the gun then don't get it. I'm happy with it so as other owners.

Don't want to run a stubby then go for this mod.

Getting a hit at 300ft doesn't really matter if you have to yell at them in order for them to realize they're being hit with BBs and not just crap being blown around by the wind.

ThunderCactus is right, the force of the hit does matter. A weak hit is no better than a miss as it doesn't generate the same thud and can't be felt.

I own this gun and like it very much, but do wish they would release a cycliner volume upgrade.

For now, I plan to just shorten the inner barrel to 455mm and make an air tight seal on the piston/cyclinder

Tough crowd in here. Lol! Based on my latest results 0.4 averaging 2.45 joules and 362 fps.
You want to get higher joules shorten it or get an edgi dual barrel. Most are running 0.36's as a good balance of accuracy and range.

As I stated before , currently it will not or may not at all be at par with a vsr but for a $250 sniper gun with a $50 to $100 upgrade is a good option. Again these are just tools, it's still the player who pulls the trigger
