Product Information:
OK, I've had my ER-25K for a couple of weeks and feel like I've spent enough time to write a decent review of it.

First impressions of the rifle are good. Heavy, with a nice finish. Only very slight wobble in the stock from the cheek rest. The mock suppressor is a nice addition, but getting it on there is a real headache. You need to remove the orange flash hider and replace it with an adaptor (supplied). The orange tip is held on with two nub screws, one of which is impossibly small. I couldn't find a hex wrench anywhere that was small enough to get in there. I ended up muscleing it off and stripping some thread - though fortunately not enough to prevent the adaptor from screwing back on. After a little bit of wrestling with the spring loaded suppressor, it was on. I does look good, but the process of getting it on revealed that the finish on this rifle scratches very easily. Any metal-on-metal contact leaves a mark.

The magazine is plenty large, if you like hi-caps, but it doesn't always seat itself properly the first time. As others have noted, it works best if you slam it home. I plan to get some of the Classic Army SR25 mid-cap mags, which I am told are compatible.

The gun seems very powerful. I haven't chrono'd it, but a slip that came in the box said that it was tested at 400+. I couldn't read the exact number, thanks to the handwriting, but I know it started with a 4. ROF is good, and the Mosfet is a nice addition allowing for a tight double-tap when firing on semi.

Perhaps my biggest disappointment with this rifle is its accuracy. It is just about capable of a 12" group at 45', which is worse than I was expecting for a DMR replica. My stock Dboys SCAR shoots tighter than that. I've disassembled the hopup and barrel assembly, and could find no obvious defects as another reviewer experienced.

All in all, I think this is a solid rifle with good potential, but it is going to take some work to get it to perform. I expected more out of the box, given the hype that Echo 1 created around it.

Pros:
Look and feel.
Solid construction.
Upgradeability, I guess.
Mosfet

Cons:
Accuracy.
Scratch magnet.
