ELEMENT -brand internals

ELEMENT, new-ish Chinese aftermarkets parts manufacturer. Seem to be cloning various other companies' parts, but seem relatively inexpensive.

Several threads bring them up briefly (Karnage/VelocityArms was selling a FTK), so does anyone have actual experience with these parts?

Any comments on the quality?

Some of the guys who contribute on AirsoftMechanics.com swear by them. Look for any post by RiotSC or Mateba.

I was considering putting one of their v2 ftk's in my M15A4 before I sold it. Did a lot of research... not the easiest thing to find on google but they seem to be good quality for hella cheap! For the price, i'd say its worth a shot just to try and give us a good review

No actual exp yet but I'm in a group order for them I'll report back with their quality of the systema silent piston head set clone. Also the FTK and gears report. Check back with me in a month or so.

Yeah, I was wondering about theses parts too, especially their kits. Talk about cheap! On Gunner Airsoft, their V2 and V3 tune kit is $14!

Damn straight. I asked all the importers I could find to bring one in. No luck.

If you really want quality, see if Huang can bring in some of the VIVA steel AK bodies - they're only available domestically on mainland China, and no Japanese/Hong Kong-based retailers that I know of have them.

Their 200% gear set looks identical to the Prometheus Double Torque Up set.

Hopefully the quality is there. I've read some QC issues.

Okay, guess I'll take one for the team :P

Sorry I must have missed your msg. We are arranging the VIVA fold stock steel body with mount base. Hopefully things can work out. Element's quality is ok for its price. However most of the hardcore players in china I know don't use Element but some other smaller manufacturers in north china who are players themselves. Element is not new. They started making fake Systema parts 4-5 years ago, then started their own brand.

what price range are you looking at? (I can't find any information on viva on the net) Also is it stamped or milled?

edit: if that fails there is always sheet metal :P
