    This is the single most essential piece of kit I own and is with me always, its part of my MilSpec Wallet Loadout and has been most useful for myself, the team and others at one stage or another :)

    I'd say now its my DTW.

    Simply put after years of looking for a high performance rifle that required didn't require a degree in engineering to upgrade, I finally found it. A PTW clone that out of the box is breathtaking performance. Consistent FPS, snappy trigger response, reliable accuracy and most important godly range.

    I won't be stupid and say that I'll never buy another gun again, but after using a "PTW" style rifle, I can hand on heart say I won't be buying another AEG, ever.

    I'll still use my existing ones from time to time, but it's too damn incredible using this to go back to using an AEG.

    I'm just hoping G&D can bring out a few more variants and styles in this format. Would absolutely LOVE a 416 style PTW/DTW.

    I think I saw in the UK that they had a 416 style DTW with m4 lower and possibly m4 style upper rail but a front rail kit more like a 416.

    I saw pics for a a&k 416 prototype a while back and I am holding out to see if it comes to market. I would buy it in an instant and sell some of my aegs I have now as I wouldn't use them. Even if I have to change some of the internals, the outer body was perfect with everything right, front receivers to pistol grip and buttstock.
