I have one- ordered it a few weeks ago.
Any reason why it only spins for a few seconds (less than 10?) A kid at my church had one (just a plastic one, not one of those high end deals) and I asked to see it and it must've spun for 30 seconds or so. Also this Arf one seems out of round a bit when looking at it in rotation- is that normal? ETA: https://store.ar15.com/product.html?cat=42&pr=1242 |

| WEIGHT!! I bought 2 of the Arf and neither spin long at all. All the cheapo 3 lobe/arm ones my kids have spin close to 2 mins. BUT those all have some crap bearings installed in the lobes which adds weight. Think about how a flywheel or gyro works. The plastic the bolt face is made of is not heavy enough, no inertia. |

Just kidding. A firearm is not a fidget toy. |

Sadly this is true. The one we got would only spin for 5 seconds. My son replaced the bearing with a better one, added finger pads, and now it will spin for almost 2 minutes. Quoted:
