Got this today.

Mixed feelings about the Quality of it.
It looks great and feels great and ROF is average.

Cant complain as the price was great.
Battery was fully charged when I got it.
Its not has heavy as I thought.
Its shorter than I thought it would be.
The ABS is not high quality but is OK the stock
is a little disappointing but it has lots of battery space.
I have problems with the Box magazine ie not feeding and winding correctly.
Mid caps and high cap magazines fire fine but are loose and wobbly.
The Front sight fell off and needed to be tightened.
The Bi-pod is not going to last long as there are two lugs that lock into
place when extended that are only made from Au I think and already
show signs of wear.

I have no faith in the barrel staying on. It was marked and looked worn
where the catch is supposed to lock it in place. No matter what I do to
put the barrel on a tiny little tug or a touch of the release switch and
it comes off. Will be posting over on the trouble shooting threads.

I thought these things had a rail on top already prefixed to mount a scope?

Next door neighbors back garden blurred out.

The first picture shows the section where the bi-pod would lock when deployed.
Defo these small pieces will break off with a little bit of use:

The 2nd pic shows the part that is under the barrel dont know why the spring is coming out
but its not normal:

The barrel wont lock correctly or if it does its not dependable:

Wear on the Barrel.

Its a pity you have so many problems with it.
Especially as its only out of the box.
Still it certinly looks the business

mine was pritty much the same nothing major but more than a few little things,for the price its ok but for anyone looking to get one look at it as a project gun of sorts as more than likely it will need more work than you adverage clone,. and althought it may be tempting but not really the thing for your first aeg :P
