good analogy. but i bought from shootsoft because theyre located in southshore (close to where i live) and i figured "hey, i might just be able to go pick up the gun rather then have it shipped" well i was wrong. anyways i asked a representative if he can do anything like match the price or at least lower it somewhat. anyways ill let you guys know whats happening with that. and oh, i think im gonna go with the drop in gearbox. any suggestions on making it full metal?
