Impressions internally: Good.
Needs shimming, which is pretty standard for anything cloned.
The outer barrel was bent a wee bit. and the hopup was actually completely disengaged from the wheel (if you pick one up, you'll understand) so I had to screw that back in.
I shot it on my lunchbreak with the fixed hop, and its actually very consistent and accurate. i'm excited to run some heavier BB's and mount the proper scope on it. All despite the curve in the barrel.
If worst comes to worst, i'll just buy a complete SVD gearbox and plop it in
. Already hunting down a new inner barrel and new mags.
