Actual owner here: expect to do some hands-on tuning out of the box, but once dialed in, mine's been rock solid. The sub despises Crusader, but if you want an NR 5.56 you can actually buy off the shelf today, it gets the job done.

What did you have to do with yours to get it running right? And what model?

I do like the look of those rifles but man, no one says anything good lol

Mine's the Comp.

The biggest concern out of the box was the rough factory finish causing the carrier to bind up. If it hung up just short of locking in, it would still fire out of battery. To fix it, I deburred the BCG, polished all sliding contact surfaces for smooth travel, and greased the friction points. Once everything moved freely, it locked into battery reliably every time but definitely a tinkerer’s rifle.
