Product Information:
I bought this rifle about a month ago, and have put in total only about 300 rounds (10 mags) through the thing. However, some drawbacks have become immediately apparent.

Pros:
- Stock adjusts easily
- Easy dissassembly - no tools required for field strip
- Gas system mimics short-stroke piston automatic rifles, so is easy to familiarize yourself with.
- Good recoil and sound.
- After tuning Hop-up, VERY accurate out to ~150 feet.
- Durable receiver and frame - can take falling out of a tower with a 250lb man wearing 100lbs of gear on top of it without issue.
- Trigger action is smooth
- Recoil is well managed, reducing barrel rise while still giving that realistic kick

Cons:
- Requires frequent maintenance, cleaning, and lubrication.
Seriously. After 300 rounds, I found deep gouges on the inside of the receiver and the bolt carrier. Highly recommended to field strip this gun as soon as you get it and re-lubricate the bolt assembly. Should be maintained after every time you take it out on the field.
- literally only the bolt is lubricated out of the box, so be prepared to lubricate the valves, springs, and moving parts.
- what is lubricated is done so with a very cheap grease.
- Manual does not explain things like:
- how to adjust gas usage (little selector on top of magazine, towards the bb feed = less gas)
- How to adjust the hop-up (field strip required, there is a little hex key on the top of the hop-up assembly. You have to take the barrel out of the gun to access it.)
- how to replace O-Ring seals if they begin to leak (still figuring this one out)
- anything other than do a field strip and load the thing
- If you do not tweak the gas setting on the magazines, you will blow through a full mag of gas after shooting only half the bbs inside.
- Does not come with the tools required to mount the picatinny rails on the handguard. Comes with a single hex key for the hop-up adjustment (thank god)
- adjusting the hop-up buckling requires a full field strip
- bolt carrier slides over trigger assembly, causing wear on both.
- magazine springs are initially VERY stiff, making them a pain to load, even with the included 'speed loader'.
