Don’t be, it’s a paper weight since the OIC. And unreliable too, likes to stove pipe on eject; I could probably fix this issue with a file as it seems the ejection port is a little too restrictive depending on how the shell flies out. But since the OIC it just collects dust. If nothing changes it’s slated for deactivation before the amnesty ends😒 what a waste of money.

Genuinely that bad. Can’t empty a magazine without stove piping every other round. It’s the ejection port clearance, the spent shell would hang onto the ejection port via the rim of the shell. Build quality its self is really meh. Take down pins came without retainers, and one simply flew out while firing and is gone to the wind. Replaced with a threaded bolt for the time being. The other take down pin is wedged in there so tightly you need a punch to remove it. It also did not come with a retainer in the pin, but the machining from factory does not align properly at all. The firearm functions, cycles, and looks cool. But that’s about it without user intervention. And since the OIC, I am not bothered enough to fix the problems since I am being forced to deactivate it by October.

I will say though that it is well balanced and feels good to shoulder, carry and shoot it. It could be a good gun. Could.
