It finally arrived yesterday, it is probably the most solid and bueatifully made gun I have ever owned, all the sites front and rear are extremely easy to adjust and everything comes swimming in oil. The bolt operation is very smooth and makes a lot of noise when cocking it. I did have some problems with it right away though which is really dissapointing, the first issue is the hop up, it is extremely sensitive and I made the stupid desicion to try to adjust it. It fired extremely well right out of the box with great range but once I adjusted the hopup the range went out the window it went from a good 60ft. to about 2ft. I tried as hard as I could to get it back to where it was but I still havn't been able to fix it. So I went a different route I had found some reviews before I bought it that had said to not listen to what the sites say and use green gas instead of hfc134a, the gun would be able to withstand more powerful gas as long as the internal screws were all extremely tight (which I ended up dealing with later today). I brought the gun down to the jungle toy in tempe and was test firing it with green gas and after a few shots the bolt slide started jumping out of the chamber. So I opened it up and tightened all the screws and it worked fine again. I eventually unscrewed all the screws that were loosening themselves and put lock tight on them and scewed them back in as hard as I could and now it works perfect, and is very loud. The upgrade to a new gas also fixed my range and now my hopup works better, its not as sensitive. I'm almost positive that nothing is going to get destroyed becuase the entire gun except for the wooden parts is made of of steel and iron, it is extremely strong and very heavy. Servicing the gun through all of this was very easy becuase the gun breaks down into three pieces, the trigger assembly pops out by pulling down on the back of the trigger guard, and the rest of the gun comes apart in two pieces by loosening one screw in the butt of the gun. The gas resevoir is also nice and big and the most clips I've shot out so far is 5 without having to fill it again. Marushin did install a bolt catch system so that the slide doesnt slam down on your thumb but it doesnt always work, I've almost caught my thumb a couple of times. I like the gun alot and once I fine tune the hopup and adjust the sites it will be a very good primary or secondary weapon becuase I still have my FAMAS. Here are some pictures.
