Seriously, as PTW's become more popular in Canada, ASC really needs to make a sticky on "suggestions" for first time owners. Save us all the headache of blowing a ridiculous amount of money on something that unless instructions are carefully followed, can ruin your day and bank account.

+1 here,
just purchase the systema pre-assembled by professionnals....I was also tempted for getting the kit and bring it to a gunsmith; but why bother with the headaches....to me that extra 200 is well worth the cost...
By the way, I ckecked out the prices on Systema's Max and they are around the 2200 to 2300$ ball park now in at A&A and Dave's Surplus, seems to me that the retailers are getting them cheaper now, and I beleive that systema is clearing out their inventory to make room for the Max2's...
