Smart Parts Sp8 ... Are They Any Good?

[opstrat]

yea guys the bullpup desighn is when the mag is loaded behind the trigger frame ie the sa80 and steyr aug.

if ur still trying to make up ur mind on wether to get one then beleive me when i say this that the sp8 i an amazing piece of kit, i was a bit wary at first because of the whole ion in sheeps clothing cause for reasion i could never walk the ion stock trigger, but the trigger on the sp8 feels so natural.

for the last 2 weeks the team has been testing them and we cant find a fault yet. over 4000 rounds and not one burst using blaze paint.
we will be using richochet hoppers on ours with a feed rate of 22 bps, which is more than enough for this beast.
also its impulse threads same as the ion but with 19 inch barrel there would be no need to upgrade.

Forgive me if im wrong but i thought thay had the same grip frame, board and trigger as the ion.

Err do you mean reloader because the ricochet is a gravity hopper and does about 12bps max.

Think the board is the same but the SP8 comes with a blade style trigger.

Ricochet Apache (newest one) is quoted at ~20bps, dunno if it can do that on-gun mind, I'm guessing as it's non-force feed it'll top out at ~14-16bps

edd is right its a blade trigger,
also the hopper is the apache and it feeds with no probs.

Yes I was kindly lent one an apache a while ago. Nice hoppers, well designd. Perfect for a backup (slower than an egg but alot better made)


They feed about the same speed as a revvy but more concistently because of the catch cup.


I'd say about 12bps max though.

we will be using them for the 1st time as a team on satrurday. so i will let u know how they perform with the apache but i will have my egg as backup but the egg feedneck on top of an elbow adds hirendous amounts of extra profile.

Cheers for that John, I was under the impression that they were a bit quicker
