Oh god here is this question again SSG24 vs SRS.
Mate TBH your gonna get both sides fighting this war until the end of time with both backing their own version as to why this is better or that is better. Each side is essentially justifying why they paid for their's really, TBH the reviews and such are skewed, heck even these so called expert Youtube reviewers are gonna be skewed as well regardless of if its Novritsch, Sniper Buddy Fabi, Kicking Mustang, that Canadian sniper dude, Airsoftology (who only ever sees the positive in anything cos he needs ya money) or whoever always has an agenda.
People will hate the SSG24 because its Novritsch's, i bet you any money that if they were given a chances like he was they would take it, Kicking Mustang's KM SRS Special anyone? I'm sure he would do it at the drop of a hat.
Unless we have someone who gets 1 SSG24 and 2 SRS guns (one out of the box and the other fully upgraded), without knowing the cost of either, does not know who Novritsch is and does a side by side comparison test of each gun in a gun cradle with the same aiming point, at the same ranges with the same BBs and the same (or close) FPS by joule energy without bias we will never truly know which is better. Until someone does that i will take each persons personal view/opinion as that opinion.
I have never played or owned an SRS and probably will never own one (cant justify cost with so many guns already) but i have heard good things about it.
Here is my word of advice, choose one, be happy with it, tinker with it be happy with it even more.
Although some facts about the SSG24, the waiting times are more like 2 to 3 months not 6 to 8, as for customs, Modify seem to be deliberately undervaluing the SSG24 so that the new owners dont pay too much in customs, so far the average seems to be around £80 to 90 mark.
For reference on mine:
Ordered 01 February 17, was told due End of April 2017
Received news in March 2017 that he discovered a flaw with the mags and would have them fixed by the time i get mine but this would push delivery to End of May 2017
End of May 2017 i receive my SSG24 with M150 spring in it, no mag issues at all.
What i ordered:
SSG24 with M150 spring in it
4 extra mags = 5 in total as rifle comes with one
4 extra bottles of .40g Nov BBs = 4 bottles of .40g BBs + 1 x .46g BBs
1 x M140 Spring (got this just in case)
Totalled to about $800 or so i think, i only paid £81 in customs which is probably half of what i should have paid, i was expecting £160 in customs and duties.
Output energy:
Using .20g BBs on M150 with no hop 480FPS
Using .20g BBs on M150 with half hop 498FPS
Using .20g BBs on M150 with full hop 460FPS
I think Skirmish Airsoft Billericay have a max 450FPS with a MED of 30 metres for bolties, Dragons Lair have 500FPS with a MED of 15 metres for bolties hence why at Billericay i only play as assault at their site using my HPA M4.
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, i am happy with it and never had to tinker with it.
