And i did end up selling it ASAP. I parted it out and Built my C8 from the ground up using QUALITY parts. Those who have seen my C8 in action can vouch for it. Its a trillion times better than any SRC gun. Im not even joking, the SRC spent more time on the bench than actually working. The gun broke down before games even started. Its like it knew when the game was gonna start and broke EVERY game 5-10 mins before game start.
