Now i already wrote a review on the "NO SIDE RAIL" version, which is about 4,000 feet long. ill try to make this more to the point.

This amazing gun is my new primary weapon. It is an excellent gun ruined by only some few small problems that i have. Let me list them and you can then decide for yourself if they will bother you or not.

1) This has a folding stock. It looks great, but after a few opens and closes it begins to loosen up. not to the point where it wobbles or anything, but when you shoulder the gun it flexes a bit, which makes the gun feel like crap, however it is a folding stock, so it will never be rock solid.

2) The charging handle does not have a supporting rail that goes all the way up to the front end of the reciever, my old UTG AK-47 does, and makes the bolt very sturdy, where this bolt (though sturdy enough) has to be pushed in slightly after it is racked as it wants to bend outward. if only the guide rail went a few more inches forward and went into a hole behind the foregrip..... it is a cosmetic problem, but add that to the stock that is moderately annoying, the gun seems less robust.

3) The magazines i bought for it werent VFC. While the VFC magazine clicks in beautifully, the MAG 100rd Plum mags click in fine, but wobble side to side alarmingly, when you dont have the gun sitting on your lap, or wobbling the mag, they feed fine and dont flop when you run, only when you push them. Not a problem with the gun, but it is annoying again.

4) the Stock goes out on too shallow of an angle, so when you shoulder the gun, you have to "stoop" your head to look through the iron sights which is annoying. And when you put the weaver mount or the PSO-1 on, you cant fold the stock in, it cant reach the clasp.

5) the wooden foregrip (might be only my gun) wobbles a bit, so i put some tape on the bottom half where it goes into the reciever, and it stopped wobbling, the top however.........still slides side to side ever so slightly and gets annoying. Again, not a problem operationally, but idk.

the grips are also slippery becasuse of the finish. i am contemplating some composite ones.

overall it is a 5/5. it is dead accurate, shoots 330 fps in warmer weather with a full charge and has excellent range and accuracy.

if you can get over the small cosmetic problems its an excellent gun, however it is longer than it appears. if i let the gun hang at my side and let my shoulders slouch, the muzzle can toutch the ground. It makes me wish i had bought the AKSU sometimes. which is louder and shoots 360 fps, and is more compact. but i will cope with my gun, i am already too attached to it. IT IS AN EXCELLENT WEAPON.
