I am interest in buying this gun, so I am going to wait untill the end of may to see the status and if anything has changed. They really rushed the prototype into a working model.
* Oh Also Anyone with the gun already, Could you give me the sizes and measurments of all the pieces in the trigger box, along with the measurments of the pistion, spring guide, cylender, and piston head. I am going to try and make the parts in Blender, then get them printed either from Shapeways, or a local companie, or my friends father who has a manual mill. Also I could get my old schools CAD program to create the parts for me and ill take the CAD files and do this stuff.
** And has anyone got a full VSR Trigger set, and has tested to see if it will indeed fit in the gun?

If read back to the older posts, it is only 1% VSR10 compatible. Knowing all this, you still want to buy it?? You need to also consider aftermarket support which aftermarket companies don't support Ares and Ares themselves don't support their customer with easy access to repair parts.
I doubt Ares will rush out to make parts to fix their issues, since they have told people before the release it will be VSR10 compatible, and it ends up being mutant. I was sold on the looks at first but after reading all the reviews and looking at the internals, it is destined to be a wall hanger after 4 to 5 magazines.
And if.......Ares did come out with those parts you mention, they would proprietary not VSR10 compatible.
If you want VSR10 compatibility then choose either TM VSR10, JG Bar10 or the ASW338LM. I got all of these and they are keepers.
People say the Ares is cheap at $400, I say it is expensive as a wall hanger.
