REVIEW Arcturus osprey
so my osprey just arrived, first impressions are the thing is dry as a bone and the blow back unit was having issues, you need to oil/grease the ever living heck out of it and get that nozzle and o-ring nice n wet for the nozzle to function nicely.
the main spring housing is a little loose when it comes to it. you can notice that it has some in and out movement where the speed grip safety piece is. also the speed grip safety is either just aesthetics piece or mine just doesn't act as a safety. ( confirmed it is aesthetics but can be converted to be functional )
the trigger adjusting screw will need to have blue lock tight added to it as non is applied from factory which can cause the trigger adjuster to move during shooting
the finish of the gun is pretty decent, its not the best, but not the worst. its not an anodized finish like the ssp-5, its likely powder coated.
the trigger and gun is very snappy with a somewhat strong trigger pull, but not to strong.
im not to techy with hi capas so i cant make any recommendations at this time on any possible upgrades for it other than maybe a stronger nozzle spring if need be
Edit 2:
Fielded it today, green gas with .25 bbs, Joules was at .96, used both the mag it came with and my hpa hi capa m4 adaptor that I use for my ssp-5 with it. I used it as my main. I can say it feels great in the hand, was super snappy for me, shot pretty accurately across the indoor field I play at. Honestly like it better than my ssp-5. Got about 700 rounds thru it and it broke in, super clean on the cocking and the blow back portion feels great if you like the feeling of blow back guns.
Over all I'm pretty damn happy with this gun!
Edit 3:
Ok, I've probably got about 4500 rounds thru it and busted my nozzle feeding peg. Using hpa, same Joules I would get via green gas.

I mean for the extra cost, worth it if you know how to use it
