2) Date Obtained
Feb 2006 (lower) Nov 2006 (upper)
3) Initial Cost
$425
4) New or Used
New
5) Mechanical Problems
Trigger mechanism for semi-auto is touchy.
Feed nozzle (point where bbs enter from the mag) is too tight due to moulding lines around the end. Fixed by shaving flashing off with a model knife.
Hop up bucking too soft. Fixed by putting plastic tube inside it to keep it round. (not very good stock hop-up either)
Cylinder bent (!!??) (Apr 2007)
Bad wiring, especially battery connector.
Pinion gear set screw has literally vanished twice. (Fall 2006 + Apr 2007)
Anti-reversal latch has a chip- has not affected performance.
6) Esthetic Problems
Minor scratches. Body is all metal/"glass fibre" :P so is very robust.
7) Rounds fired between failures
Trigger acts up from time to time, otherwise more or less 6000 have been through it. (probably more)
8) Changes to Internals and Externals
Guarder short barrel kit (teflon tape around inner barrel inside this prevents wobble)
Rewired electrical w/ Dean's Ultra connectors
150% spring
Bearing spring guide
Guarder silicone hop-up (has stretched, not currently installed, will be replaced)
Short mod: stock M4 inner barrel
Long mod: Madbull Black Python tightbore
CA HK33 outer barrel
9) Resale Date and Value if applicable.
N/A

10)Notes and Comments
Electrical and trigger issues are most likely due to being an early production model.
A1 optics and upper receiver are very good, but I no longer have them.
Shot 330 fps stock with .20 AE BBs, shoots ~370 now.
AE bb's jam Python tightbore.
