"Simply put:
Pros-
-Good build
-Sturdy
-Cool factor is def there
-Has a good punch for recoil
-Great range, fps, trigger response
-Great for training
-Great potential for different builds and set ups
Cons-
-Hop up and inner barrel sucks. Accuracy is all over the place stock with .32g bbs. They rise about 1 foot for every 30-50 feet traveled on the lowest hop setting. You will struggle to find a new barrel to fit this rifle.
-Internals are all pot metal and wear easily so cleaning and constant greasing are a must.
-You will spend $500+ on this gun before you ever field it between the rifle, mags, barrel, and a new hop.
Is it worth the buy? My honest review is yes if you’re looking for a retro gun with the cool factor and the potential for epic performance. If you are not tech savvy and have no desire to work on or clean your guns after use do NOT buy this rifle. Instead buy the EMG colt m16a3 aeg. This rifle is a Milsim gun all the way and I do not recommend it for casual weekend warriors. Makes for a great project gun and something to tinker on. Personally, if I didn’t have so many projects already going on I would’ve sunk more money into it. But, as a stock gun it’s pretty okay.

"pro's
metal

good kick
accurate
high fps
easy to field strip
con's
bolt lock works 10% of the time
mags are unreliable(leak,jam and,hard to load)
mag well was not formed right so 20rds wouldnt fit(a file fixed that)
the rear sight spring was missing
the rails were not in spec
(possibly mine was a lemon)

"This is a very fun rifle but if you use it a lot then you’re going to work on it a lot. When I had this rifle I had to change bolts, bolt catches, and mags. The engineering is not good. If you’re lucky then you could get a good rifle and only have to clean it but if you’re like me then get ready to be frustrated with bolts deforming, bolt catches deforming, bb’s getting stuck in the chambering area and exploding if the rifle doesn’t like the mag you’re using. It’s fun to shoot but I didn’t like working on it before every airsoft event
