Anyway, as the title states I DO own a CTW and PTW so I thought I would sound off and say that contrary to what the PTW crowd would have you believe the CTWs are not half bad. The only issues I have had with the CTW have been user "issues" and not gun issues. LOL...I fell full weight on my CTW and broke the tail of the lower receiver off. My guess is I would have broken a PTW lower as well....but that is only speculation.

Anyway...the newest version of the CTW(MX2) I will put on par with the PTWs...but for half the price. Now I will quantify things a bit......the CTW furniture is a little lower quality.....and the receiver may be of slightly higher alloy content then a PTW. The outer barrel is definitely lighter then the PTW. But...I put everything else on par with the PTWs at half the price. And...for the average user who is considering something a step up from an AEG and can't spring for a PTW...then the CTW may be a reasonable solution.

This is my subjective opinion only. But..keep in mind that I actually OWN 2 CTWs as well as a PTW or 2...

Anyway...no doubt that a CTW is NOT a PTW......but I believe they are good value with many of the same features and benefits of a PTW.

So...to all of the CTW bashers out there...until you actually own one or have had the opportunity to use one extensively...then maybe consider the words of one who has.....

Just my 2 cents worth.....
