They are good. I like mine, I don't think I'd trade it. That said at present they are selling way above actual worth and I think they are a lousy deal if you have other firearms you'd like to have. I got mine JUST before the late unpleasantness really got under way and I still think it was a little too expensive. I like the Commando models, which is what I got my hands on, but they are harder to find.
As for how it runs well, it runs like a sewing machine and that's what matters to me. Mine runs great and hits what I aim at. What's not to like. |

There are 3 of us here that have been shooting them for a few months now...
Pros: 1. very fast follow up shots - not much muzzle movement and the action is very smooth 2. do not need much maint. - especially with suppressors 3. very reliable so far Cons: 1. if you've trained with an AR, the safety/selector location will not feel right (not easy to manipulate). Could probably be made better with a different grip. 2. a little heavier than most ar's (see #1 above though) 3. the folding stock mechanism (if so equipped) is plastic and the retainer for the pin has fallen off one already. It should have been aluminum (like the old Ace folding adapters) IMO. 4. Factory charging handle is in the way of some optics mounts - there is an aftermarket handle out there now, but we haven't tried it. I like mine, but it is not an AR - if you don't mind the differences, its a good weapon. YMMV |
