Systema Bust???

Postby j-p on Wed Jun 30, 2010 9:40 pm

Hi,

I have just played at Drakelow tunnels in the UK.

The Site owner told me during a conversation, that Systema have gone bust. I MUST point out that this is an UNCONFIRMED report from a non Systema owner who stated that he did not know if it was true, or just nasty rumour.

Can anybody tell me if this report is true, or if it is an exageration due to the US customs problems??????

There are a lot of rumours floating around regarding Systema, US imports and TW5's. Fact is, most of it is just that............rumours...!

The US imports are an on going issue, but the rest as far as I know is just flannel.

Does this mean retailers in the UK, Europe or areas outside the U.S. are able to get parts and guns from Systema?

No problem here Mac.....!

Supply has always been a bit slow (appologies to those of you waiting for your new toys...!) due to Systema's apparently laid back attitude towards the airsoft community, but it's never been an issue with import.

I'm never buying an ctw even IF that ever happens.

Just had a chat with certain individuals in the know and it boils down to this.

Due to the general lack of interest in the TW5 platform Systema have ceased production. They have approx 100 weapons left and then thats it.

At the current selling level this could last another year or so.

I believe parts will still be supplied, but to cover this I may invest in a few SCK's to keep just in case.

Systema aren't going bust and will be continuing with the AR platfrom as normal.

As usuual someone has got the wrong end of the stick and through Chinese wispers the wrong info gets out.

If I here any other news I'll post it up.

How long do you think there will be replacement parts for the tw5? What sucks is it is a great gun. Low mag count but a great gun.
