Product Information:
This BAR10 replaced my MP001. Very similar gun, but not interchangable.
I was expecting to recieve a better-built, faster-hitting, easier to use gun than my MP001.
Unfortunately the BAR10 disappointed in all areas.
Is there such a thing as cheap chinese copies of the JG BAR10 (a clone of a clone!) floating around?
If the MP001 was not plaqued with slamfire problems it would be HANDS-DOWN the better gun of the two. HANDS DOWN the better gun! At about half the price, you could upgrade the MP001 seers and be ahead in the quality department.

The good:
Inexpensive
Looks great.
Feels good to hold.
Scope-mount is solid
Shoots a pretty tight grouping
Scope OK for this price-range
O-ring sealed metal cylinder head...also fits into hop-up seal tightly.
Lots of upgrade potential.
Problems:
*)User manual is a joke.
*)It shoots slower than the MP001.
*)Gun is cheap (inexpensive should not make a gun cheap!)
*)The stock required sanding in order assemble it.
*)Stock plastic sights useless....need tape to fasten on end-piece.
*)Parts were rough....the bolt hold-down slider had metal filings in it that would not allow it to release bolt. Had to wire-brush the metal all it.
*)The two Stock screws a joke....1/16th inch allen-head?! The MP001 had 1/4!
*)Bolt has so much resistance when I push/lock the bolt that it slamfires! (This is a new gun!)...I replaced the poor-quality metal bolt hold -down and plastic bolt piston insert rod with the MP001 and all is fine now.
*)The BAR10 inner plastic piston rod metal center pin slid out of the plastic.(Again, this is a NEW gun!). This is probably what was causing the slamfire problem.
*)The barrel jacket which scews into the main gun metal base wobbled! I had to wrap a bunch of nylon tape around it to firm it up.
*) Ahhh!, yes, the BB mag....after sanding it works. I dont know about you, but those clowns who reviewed that saying it is "normal" are full of it! When I buy "new", I expect it to be turn-key and not require a bunch of work to fix. For those who say its "normal"....want to buy some moon-property or a bridge? I can help you out!
*)BB mag is solid black, so cant see when it is emply. Talk about brain-dead design....one must guess at when it is empty or wait until it air-fires (very bad for gun). I used the MP001 mag which actually works better too!
*)Gun cylinder/piston was bone-dry....no wonder speed sucked out of the box.
*)O-ring piston....MP01 used cup. Expect this is why MP001 shoots faster.
*)Gun loosely put together....sloppy build. Be sure to go over everything before you shoot it.

O-ring sealed metal cylinder head...also fits into hop-up seal tightly.
Lots of upgrade potential....youll get plenty of practice taking it down just to get the stupid thing to work.
