"So, I was initially pretty pleased with the gun when it arrived. Solid weight, metal construction, faux wood furniture that didn't look awful. The pump was pretty solid, though sometimes when cocking it the trigger would lock until you pushed the pump all the way back up.
Then it broke a couple weeks later, after having only plinked around with it about four times. The pump would not pull all the way back, and the spring wouldn't lock. Since it came with no manual, it took me some time to figure out how to disassemble it (I asked the Evike techs, and they told me I couldn't disassemble it because it was likely glued together, which was incorrect). Eventually I realized that with the screws out it was held together by a solid but unattached metal bolt through the receiver.
Once I got it open, it became pretty clear what was wrong. The piece on the back of the spring, which locks it into position when pumped, had sheared in half because it's made of cheap plastic. Yes, in this nearly fully metal gun, the one piece arguably most important to be made out of metal is plastic. Pretty much ruined the whole experience.
Pros:
-Looks and feels pretty good
-Solid and heavy, externally
-Fairly accurate even without iron sight
-Powerful for a shorter spring rifle
Cons:
-No iron sight
-Pump is finicky sometimes
-Internals will break on you and render gun unfixable
All in all I regret buying this, since despite being cheap it's now a $60 pile of scrap parts.
