And an extremely sweet one at that.

I've just about sold myself on it with this idea and the fact its 'pre-upgraded' systema FMU everything. If you look at it from a value stand-point, its actually a good deal. Its worthy of noting for those not aware that it uses proprietary internals and magazines too, so you'll need to get another batch of (more expensive) mags as well, easily boosting the price a few hundred more bucks on top of things. My two concerns are service/parts and... how to get one? All the retailers in Hong Kong that have replied to me have said that they have no plans to carry version 3's at this time, and are only sitting on older versions. They aren't for sale from anywhere in the US. The last choice is from Systema directly, which is what I'm waiting for answers on at this point. The idea of owning a version 3 might be moot at this point anyways.
