Buy recommendations Adler AD500A

Seems they’re selling out stock, so I’m just wondering if anyone has any feedback or reviews on them so far. They seem like great bang for the buck! Really don’t want to get killed on another 3k rifle 🤣

Love the AD500 series. I have the 308 Semi Auto one, its fun to shoot 🫨

Any jamming issues or other reliability problems? I’m kind of hoping you might have a bit more firsthand experience with it. Do you think the new ones being chambered in .223 would make any noticeable difference in performance or reliability compared to the .308 versions?

I just got an ad500 back from warranty, after 7 months after the barrel failed. That's after I had a cam pin warrantied that snapped. Be prepared to sacrifice 1k + if you get a lemon. Haven't tried my replacement rifle yet. Sure hope it lasts more than 100 rounds like the last one
