I'm really on the fence with this too ... I've got a closed bolt 416 ... the bolt portion for now functions great... the hop up blows but that's a known fact.

the mags i want to get are open chamber (VN stubbies) ... but I have a friend with a whole pile of Closed chamber mag pieces (he just converted like 8 or 10 mags to open) ...

so my choices are stay closed, get the Falcon VSZ hop/barrel set, and covert mags... or just go open chamber convert, and so far I really like falcon's aeg stuff for price-performance ... so I would probably get the falcon barrel and rubber for the open bolt too.

I have an electric or two as back up if the GBBR decides to be bitchy and doing maint/check overs before and after games is already a regular routine .... just worried more about over all reliability ... i've heard of the trigger assemblies cratering the material in the open bolt.

going open bolt would be the easiest I would gather for my particular circumstance ... I just don't want to constantly replace the bolt LOL (I already caught the stuck hammer wheel on my stocker before it grenaded the bolt .. and a RA tech complete drop in reinforced trigger assembly is on the soon list)
