Oh I know how to get AV'd. I've been a member for a few months now, that's not the problem.

The problem is I live in a 'remote' area of Nova Scotia, in that I'm 2 hours away from Halifax, and that's where all the AV'ers live. Top on the fact that every weekend when I could make it into the city, something arises to prevent me from doing so. So, I just haven't been able to, and there haven't been any big games lately, so they haven't come down.

The general consensus with the RS line is that your getting what you pay for.

Also I applaud you for taking the steps to "save your money" and buy the "good stuff" as a Student I can relate and I know it takes time but in the end you will be much more satisfied that you spent your money wisely.

Well I'm up to about 520 dollars, it's 640 + shipping which is like 40 bucks. So that's a couple hundred to go haha.

Edit: Oh, but in case you thought so, this isn't my first AEG. My first was an SRC M4, not a bad gun, but has some issues that I need(ed) to address.

The apartment I am in right now costs $100 a month.
My average spending on food per day is less than $4.
My airsoft spending in the last month and a half has totaled over $1400.
This month, I will spend $600 more on parts and accessories.

They're called priorities. Get yourself some.

Damn I pay 700 a month I have a RS type 56-1 and love it. It's a beast! Ive played in the pouring rain fell on it ran into tree's with it and dropped it off the side of the Clay hill's in Claybank and she still shoots like the day I got her. Best AEG Ive ever owned.

Back from the dead again? But I just HAD to include this video review since they go a bit beyond your regular airsoft reviews:

I just picked one of these up last week and i was wondering, if i want to swap the hand guards for ones with a fore grip do i need to buy the real steel ones or will the airsoft one's work?

Real steel guards for Real Sword.

Quick question, is this gun able to handle lipo (After reading all these and watching reviews i dont doubt it but would like to hear a suggestion) batteries? And do any retailers here carry extra Real sword mags? I know ehobby asia has them but id prefer they were in country.

[Kid]

I run an 11.1v lipo - I have had absolutely no problems with it. Awesome trigger response. Highly recommended.

I got my mags from eHobbyAsia.

Never really paid attention to peoples posts when talking about shipping costs but how many mags did you pick up and about how much was the shipping and any other fees total it to? Thanks.

I picked up three AK mags, four m11 mags, a pistol mag, an AK tightbore, a couple slings, and some various other small things.

I think the shipping was around $30-35 for airmail, which took around ten days if I remember correctly. Don't remember the exact price and I can't find it in my records. Could have been less.

It was pretty reasonable.

edit: They have a shipping estimate calculator in their shopping cart.
