Absolutely an SLR is a very good option, been right up there reliability wise for over a decade now. They are bit more expensive these days is all.
Honestly, the other platforms, they take some bench time and fettling.
That’s why I point to those if you are looking for the best reliability currently.
Thanks for you’re advice my bro. Means a lot.
Oh I have to handle a lot of crackheads for my job. They tire out very quick and get flustered once pinned down a knee is in their chest. Fyi .
Ratty m4 is back to stock looking.
All good mate, that’s what these forums are for. Some others will chime in when they get time.
LOL I unfortunately know what you are talking about. 
I’ve got one next door currently. Saw the locals booking it out here, I knew straight away. Oop don’t get in their way. What has that fkhd done now. Oh only smashed up the mother of the child and dumped her in the local public toilet.
Bang, arrested, off to court you go. I had the lunatic Mum on my doorstep at 9am on a tuesday skulling a beer. I’m like wtf. Oh been on a bender again have we. 
Oh that’s rough man. Well at least she had decency to be on doorstep. Not all of a sudden in your house while u not home. That’s a posative.
Well I was about to boot scoot off to work k’s away. As I packed my stuff, hang on, there’s a woman sitting on my porch guzzling a beer. I’m like wtf you doing here, tear factory. She’s got abuse problems upstairs, oh I’m about to die, over a decade younger than me with a kidney failure bag strapped to her leg. Ugly as so don’t even go there. Still I can’t leave a person stranded in middle bum fk no where regardless.
I said ok, guess I’m not going to work. Which would you like, Police, Ambo’s, or back to your Mum’s place 100klms away. Tear factory. Ms you need to let me know as I cannot leave you sitting on my porch.
Oh got a lighter, I said let me look.
Anyway thats 1 part. You can’t muck around like that in the country as basic services take time to respond.
Lucky I’m a good fella. They both got arrested on another occasion as there is the child involved and presented before court. Judge asked the Mother can you explain in your own words any reason why you are the way you are. I guess I had a bad upbringing with substance abuse.
Mm well that’s obvious. Barely mid 30’s and given 5 months to live.
Apologies in advance as this is a lot of shameless self plugs!
The JingJi SLR at iHobby definitely a bit over price for what they are these days. Still good but check this one out:
Ihobby sell the for $501.50!
My price of $349 is much more reasonable. (Use code community10 for 10% off for being a forum user

These have a metal gearbox and gears, and quite a lot of metal parts. Very upgradable…
Kid you want, check out my videos on them.
My and the upgrade
Actually a few weeks ago I finished upgrading my own one of these, might have to show it off in a future video. 30rps at 310fps, it’s pretty gnarly! Can’t wait to put it through a few skirmishes.
Sorry just seen this. Yep I’m in.
Oh man. Would u be able to tweek one up for me if I purchase one?
Man id fucking love something like this. Nice and tidy. Knowing I’ve got something I’m proud of. None of this garbage I’ve been messing with.
Rok’s a bit too modest, to blow his own trumpet…
So i’ll do it for him.
And, its all genuinely well deserved.
There are some very skilled and knowlegable people on the forum here, and Rok is one of the top tier Techs.
He is passionate about all things gel, and will do a fantastic job on whatever you get.
Wether you want a simple budget upgrade, or go the whole hog, max power expenditure…you won’t find many people better than Rok.
Completely honest too, he will go through all types of upgrade options, price points, and realistic outcomes. Tech work is top notch.
Ultimately, we are dealing with made in china parts, nothing lasts forever…but Rok will sort you for whatever your after.
If you want reliability, moderate and longer lasting performance …he’ll sort you out.
At a good price to.
I’d highly reccommend…!!
Can confirm this father and son duo are very happy with their purchase from Rok 
You lot are too kind! I just try to get the best reliability and performance in the budget given, though sometimes things happen and the budget gets overdone it is never without permission… and often I come in under budget because where other might sell you expensive things that don’t do anything more I just look to parts I can trust to do their thing.
My main issue is I have a “regular” full time job and do this as a passion project after hours so sometimes my turnaround time is not the quickest.
I don’t offer quick turnaround, but I will offer to give it my all to only need to do it once!
While were heaping praise, shout out to @Friendly_Fire as well…
He’s helped me out a lot, taught me what little i know, and of course, the original Capgun conversion Uzi is a thing of legend…!!
And lets not forget the 50 shades of pulse rifle perfection…!!
That back balcony, is located in a rift in the space/time continum…
Good stuff…!!
Cheers, Beemer.
But undeserved praise… I’m just a techie hack with an engineering background that doesn’t know how to give up on a hopeless build.
NEVER SAY DIE!! 
All you guys have been a great help and patience giving me advice. When there is no store within 150km from me. Trying to figure feeding issues I watch contradicting each other . So this forum has been awesome.
We are all here to help and share, and ask questions. Community is better if we all do that.
I have a habit of providing answers that a a bit ambiguous at times, but that is because there is so much variance in everything we have!
Mate appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Looks like I’ll be getting a decked out slr from Roksolid. I can’t fucking wait. 
Apologies again that we got off on wrong foot a while back Discussing the “stuck hammer issue” lolol. You’ve all been really helpful.
