BeerBaron Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 keep an eye out for a used ck arms hardcore or thunder. both are excellent and offer a lot of small improvements over the DVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acsr Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Buddy of mine bought off gun broker, which was fine, but he did add some things for it to run and upgrade it, mainly after messing with tuning the extractor, he ended just buying a aftec and was g2g then he went with egw fire group,sv trigger and a ice magwell. Find one, get it to run reliably and learn your gun as you go. I bought mine on the classifieds here all tuned and ready to roll Edited January 9, 2017 by Acsr Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a little trouble with brass hitting the mount and having a jam. After that was fixed,that thing just runs and runs. I would buy another one,but just don't need it yet. for brass I use range brass inspect it load it with 8.3 gr.of hs 6 and shoot,and walk away. What did you do to correct those issues?

Acsr Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 You can do quite a bit with the price difference on the trubor, but the optics you choose, if your after the rts2 there is 400 bucks, really matters what you want in a gun, how much do you want to customize or install, tune. All will be a good time shooting. Just choose and be happy with your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It might be the mag bumping up the cost (as the ck guns usually come with no mag) but the CK arms with RTS2 is $3750 and with slidride (choice of upright or 90 mount) is $3550. The steel grip version with slideride is $4K and the top spec version with steel grip and RTS2 is $4200. All of this seem like reasonable options, though personally I'd drop the match master off that list. it's a very short gun. it's also one of the more expensive options. For me I'd go either bottom of the list or top of the list. The trubor at under $2K is a great start but bare in mind if you did steel grip, RTS2, racker, slide cuts you'll be up around another $1500 sunk into the gun. at that point you still have a trubor with some mods, but you've spent about the same $$ as a CK arms which has some other small improvements (aftec extractor, EGW internals etc). So I think either go trubor and enjoy it for a while, or go straight to the CK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
