Northwoods Airsoft / Rattler

[assault]

Well, a few of my friends, my brother, and I decided that it was enough and that posting of our experience with Rattler would be not only a good idea, but informative.

Well, some months ago, my brother decided to get some gearbox work done on his TM Sig 552, after it was not shooting in semi or full properly. So he gets it back, right in time for Breedland, and what do you know, after the first round at this game, the problem is back and fortunatly, he was loaned an M4 from someone at this game to use. Well, Rattler gets it back and after a month or so and claims that the gun was working good again, my brother drives up just to see it in pieces, and not fixed. Rattler actually still has it so we really have yet to see what will happen to this.

One of my good friends, Evan or Aftershock13, decided that he needed some work done onto his backup A&K S-system, after some months of being worked on, we go and pick it up and bring it back. Some weeks ago we go and test it out. What do you know, doesn't even fire...hmm.

And although this has never been verified, about a year ago, I got an MP5k with some so called upgrades in it, I traded it off for an M4 later on to a man in Colorado and about a week after that, was told that after opening it up, the gearbox was nothing more than jammed with UTG internals. Has said before, I can not verify this but it did make me quite un-happy.

I will say though, in the past, I have had successful work done on my Classic Army M4, and I thank him for that but overall am not impressed.

I know we are at some disagreements right now, which I will not bring into this conversation, but that is no reason for this post, the fact that when we trust our expensive guns with Dan, and get them back still not working will make anyone upset and we felt this had to be posted.

We have yet to get all of our work done, so this posts attitude might change but for now, I am staying clear and I believe you should too.

The Sig 552 is posing some interesting problems that are unique to that gun that other people have agreed on. I informed your brother that I am replacing the gearbox entirely. I didn't tell you because it's not your gun. I am just working on obtaining an entire Sig 552 gearbox.

Evans (Aftershock) gun was given to me, I was trying and trying to work out a drop off date but YOU could never pick the gun up. What did you want done to it? you wanted a motor, I put in a motor but I did not receive the base-plate with the gun so I gave one to aftershock (Evan) FREE OF CHARGE.

The MP5k was LIGHTLY upgraded and listed accordingly, a new spring (m100) and a new o-ring along with a new piston. That is how it was sold to you, I have no idea what happened with you telling other people it was upgraded or what other people saw in it because those along with the stock TM parts is how it left my posession.

I have explained the above to each person whose gun's they were, I guess thats why you don't know all the facts.

Jake also wanted to include when getting a motor for Evan, the motor had [B]3 missing teeth.

You are correct, however the condition of the motor was known by Jake when he purchased it, lol, I think that is the reason he bought it, I took most of the price off for that reason so it was cheap.

I was on the phone with Jake and another party (today) confirming this - that they knew about it (the pinion gears condition) BEFORE the transaction was complete.

About the other guns, I guess continue to work on Evans if you can, but if the Sig 552 is something you can not do, then I guess I have no choice but to pick it up and take it to someone else with the skills to do so.

Oh, and my brother has called you but you had not answered so check your voicemail.

This is not squeeling or anything, I simply stated my experience with North Woods airsoft and thats that. Just dont read this and dont get involved in this. I can delete when you told me to put how the teeth were striped so you and Dan can remain bff.
