I now nothing about this company nor this model.
Is it any good?

I have had good luck,mostly, with mine.  They are gen 1, kind of heavy.  Very accurate with the right ammo, and hateful of the wrong ammo, which is always some old mil surplus.

Pretty decent guns, of course there are better for more $$.  If I had to do it all over I would probably go armalite.  But since I am stubborn, I will end up selling one gen 1 and get a gen 2 for hunting.

look at the new DPMS Gen II line.  They are much much lighter and come in a variety of configurations, from carbine to rifle.

I've got a GII Recon and its been a good gun, if a bit heavy until i replaced the rail and had the barrel reprofiled.

Just keep in mind that PMags won't lift the bolt stop high enough without follower modification.  It's a simple process and makes them good to go.

Or, for less money and work, try these: https://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?groupid=2086&name=IMI+DEFENSE+.308%2f7.62X51+20rd+Magazine They either sell very well, or are only imported in small quantities, because they are in and out of stock quite often.

Nothing against Pmags, I just don't like having to modify them to work, when other less expensive options are out there that don't require modification. Yes, fairly easy mod, but I was looking yesterday, and appears that you might have to remove half the thickness of the follower to get them to raise the catch up high enough.

I'm not super hard on my mags, so I can't comment on the IMI's for hard use, but they hold the bolt open properly, out of the bag.

Lancer mags work well in the Gen II line also.
