I agree 100%. The tech I spoke with was also from AONW. I have all my custom work done by them and they've always exceeded expectations. I never said they wouldn't work with non VFC parts, just picky about which parts work best with them. I looooove VFC products, and have 2 of them. May eventually have a couple more. I was looking into grabbing a couple of 416's, till I handled the RM4. Now I'm torn.
You can also put quality parts in a quality gun, and they just don't mesh well. I recently had Modify internals put in my MK23, and they evidently don't like G&P gearboxes. Jesse (AONW) threw some Siegetech gears in it, did a little custom trigger work, replaced the bearings for high quality bushings, and the thing is now a freaking BEAST!!
I've come to learn, it's not always how much you spend, some quality parts just don't mesh with certain guns.
