But you have never actually opened up, dissected Academy m4A1, read reviews, much less look into into it before.

The detailed pictures show equally doubtful setups, and bad machining

Look, you judge the gun based on the pictures, and accused someone of making doubious claims just because his reviews based on his actual experience of THE gun does not sit well with your guessworks based on your lack of knowledge of said gun.

I don't question your experience when it comes to the guns you actually know of. But please know your own limits. You admitted that nobody in Canada bothers to import Academy M4A1 except on certain ocassions, for which reason, you said, i could expect no answer to my questions. And based on your position, i'm quite certain you're no exception. You have not actually seen, hold, or dissected an Academy M4A1. But here you are giving an authoritative, nay arrogant, response to an innocent query. Funny.

Pardon me, but i think you have to review your logic. If memory serves me right, my logic teacher taught me that a statement like your comment was a classic example of sweeping generalization. Just because you've had the chance of working on other Academy products before, you're now making a definitive judgment (with authoritative presumptiousness) of a gun you've never known of in your life. Claiming that Academy products "universally" sucks at the same time admitting that you have handled "other", NOT ALL, Academy products, is one monumental fallacy.

Please don't tell me where to go. This is a free airsoft forum.
I'm free to confess my ignorance of the product and seek enlightenment, and you're free to exhibit your pretended knowledge, - here and now. Honest ignorance is given as much previlege to express itself as authoritative arrogance is - in this forum.
By no stretch of the imagination was i asking you or anybody else to spend money for Academy M4A1. Yes, i'd be happy if you import and pay for the gun. I'd be happy not for my own sake but for yours.
Having the gun for a specimen will be good for you, in a way. By acquiring knowledge of the gun based on actual observation, you'd be able to tell it what it is, good or bad, based on hard facts, not on fancy and imagination. A knowledge gain is an ignorance loss. Having one, you'd be speaking from actual experience and knowledge, not from a pretended one.
There you go, only when you possess actual, specific knowledge of Academy M4A1 will you be in the right position to say, "YES, THE GUN SUCKS!"
To disabuse some malicious thoughts, i'm in no way encouraging the readers who happen to read this thread to go buy an Academy M4A1. I have no idea of the gun. This is the reason i'm requesting posters in the know (not those who presume they know) to share their actual experiences with the gun to guide newbies in forming a sound judgment if said gun is good or not, and in making a decision if it deserves their money's worth.
I further sayeth naught.
