Won't be any more that price, that was just as it had been opened customs. I highly doubt any more will be at that price.
To top it off, how many of us have the experience to put it together?
I've had insider information about the price of PTWs at extreme wholesale. They're definitely NOT what you think they are. The manufacturing costs of PTWs definitely aren't very high, it's most likely just because they've had a monopoly on the 'LOL THEY R GRATIST TRANEING WAPONS' crowd that's willing to pay a premium. While they're great- looking at them in a training weapon perspective, I just don't see it.
Not going to bash PTWs- they're absolutely fantastic guns, and the last one I tried (belonging to a certain Kevorkian) is probably my all time favourite AEG. But- they're not 'leet operator training tools'.
