That is just the MINI version of the rant... for what i spent on this gun, its cheaper in the long run to get a Systema PTW... however, after a bunch of quality replacement parts, Dynamo made the thing sing, with a lot of modification and over the course of a few months.
They even cheaped out on the anodizing, using only level 1, where most Chinese knockoffs use level 2... used pot metal in important joint locations. Cheap internals as Dynamo pointed out... The list literally goes on.
I even emailed Magpul PTS in China about the parts that came broken out of the box; and after a few emails exchanged, loads of pics taken of problem parts, huge writeup of problems, eventually they forwarded me to one of their distributors in the states... after a few weeks they finally responded, asked a few questions, i replied and never heard from them again. I'd forward the case to Magpul directly, and even with Dynamo, write up a "review" but frankly neither of us have the patience anymore.
To sum it all up, utter disappointment, especially just out of the box, from a company i thought was from someone reliable... maybe for their real steel counterparts its different (i'll find out soon enough though). It is just airsoft, but its not cheap.
But hey, after all the work he put into it, its one of the nicest running guns ive heard (and its still not 100% finished); just dont ask how he got it done. Field testing coming soon...
