Thanks for great review Sim! I based my purchase on this review and I must say I am very pleased. The recoil is not where I want it but I am working on that. I wanted to report that VFC must have updated the gun as all of the following parts are now steel out of the box.

Steel Bolt catch
Steel bolt catch plate
Steel firing pin set
Steel firing pin locker
Steel firing pin retainer

I went over it with a magnet last night, the catch also seems very solid, the whole gun is actually bloody solid as you reported, which is great for the price I paid been $540 New Zealand. Not sure if that speed buffer you photographed was standard, but if so that has been replaced with your standard type buffer.

If you or anyone has had a chance to try out any WA bolts or carriers I would very interested to know how they went and what mods were required, if any.

Also can anyone tell me what the inner barrel bore is? Can't find out anywhere and don't have the tools to measure.

Cheers!
