Hey all, so my buddy is looking to get into airsoft and I found something local (North bay, Ontario). The seller has a dytac m4 reaper (used) up for $250. The gun failed on him early on, therefore many upgrades were placed in the gun to replace the parts that failed. They are as follows.

"-Piston is a full metal teeth px piston http://www.torontoairsoft.com/Madbul...en_p_2985.html

The head is is a light weight shs head http://www.torontoairsoft.com/SHS- Aluminum-Ball-Bearing-Lightweight-Piston-Head-Version-23_p_1407.html

And he put in new wiring and trigger contacts in because I told him I would like to use 11.1v lipo some time

Modify steal ball bearings and bushings from airsoft parts canada

The motor is a shs high speed motor also from airsoft parts canada"

The gearing is also shs reinforced gearing http://www.torontoairsoft.com/SHS-Re...io_p_1357.html

Seller - "With what I have in it and for it I have the gun and mag, a laser sight on it with either a pressure switch or button, and the lipo battery I'm looking to get $250may go lower but it's hard with what I have in it."

It was purchased from Toronto Airsoft and according to the seller, he didn't even get a mag through it, gear box jammed, gears were fucked and Toronto airsoft said it was his fault so he paid $200 for top of the line parts including the motor and $100 in labor from a local tech.

The seller seems like a pretty honest, stand up dude, I just find it strange that he wants to sell if it works so well.

I have searched the forums to see what I should be looking for when testing however, I can't find much info on the dytac reaper itself. My guess is that since he was running a lipo battery, it was too much for the stock internals.

My fear is that if the gun goes sour after a few mags, it will give my friend a bad impression of airsoft in general.

Since his budget is in the $500 range, I recommended a krytac trident since they seem to be known for out of box reliability, but there is a waiting list for them. Seeing as I'm no expert, I am trying to do as much research as possible to get him a reliable, out of box gun (he has no experience with airsoft whatsoever). He was very interested in the Dytac when I showed him pics, so what do you guys think? Wait for a Krytac to be back in stock or go with the cheaper, used, already upgraded gun?
