    sweet. My CA OSW shredded its original piston mid skirmish knocking
    out the first few plastic teeth in it and getting shards of plastic everyplace,
    If it had a first metal tooth it might have been salvageable or the issue of shredding might not have happened in the first place.

    Zeta Labs one already downloaded (via a spring change) from an Irish Retailer
    where the gun is already in the country and you dont have to worry about customs! at the 300 Euro mark for essentially the same gun sounds like a fair price to me :).

    Do SE do all their downgrades (via a spring change) not all retailers do!!! Even some who say they do, Don't always!! I've worked on a fair few aegs from many retailers and by far the most common method is the Drill. Will contact SG and see if they have a SA58OSW and how it is downgraded.
    Customs shouldn't have any issue with a springless AEG!

    Gunner Airsoft is charging 325 Euros for the CA SA58 before downgrade and shipping and Tax
    not sure if they are selling the ZL branded stuff I did not see them when I did a search..

    Just type in osw in gunners site and both CA and ZL come up.

    Ehobby will sell the AGM/ZL OSW (Thats Out of stock) for 281 Euros including shipping but
    that does not count the downgrade cost and any VAT/Tax you might pay.

    Where did you get 281 euros for AEG and delivery. even fron Ehobby that are 30 dollors more than Gunner, Its 150euro (without any discount) for the AEG so your adding 131 for shipping. Thats an awefull lot for shipping.

    I have it at 115euro with my discount for the ZL from gunner (in stock) and 50 euro delivery.(30days)(I can wait) 20 euro for gunner to remove the spring. They have done that on all my aeg purchaces. I don't think customs and handling charges will be 100 euro and thats just for one item delivery. It'll be a large order when I do order and that will cut the shipping handling and fee per item again.

    Irish price is looking OK especially when you can fire it back to the retailer handy if theres a problem
    with the gun.

    As for that I'd much prefer to do the work myself. I don't know how se do their downgrades cut spring, 1 joule spring orgod forebid drilled nozzle, drilled cylinder or who does their worK, or how good he/hes is?? Or if they were having a good day when the work was done. I'm sure they are capable but prefer my own work. Having a shop it fire it back too is no advantage to me as it might be for others I'm prefer to have the 50 to 70 or more euro and buy a few of those overpriced mags!! :)

    the se guys install gaurder m90 springs, giving 300-310 fps usually, there is nothing wrong with the work, i know because i have bought 2 recently and had them both open for a look!
