As far as I'm concerned it's the best air soft rifle you can buy and well worth the price. Beginning with accuracy. When benched at 50' w .20g ammo, it easily makes 1 inch groups all day long. Sights work great at that range although it does not adj for windage. Too bad for a rifle with such good precision. It's worth putting a red dot on it. After 5k+ rounds in both semi- and full-auto and having cycled the battery about 10 times by now, I have experienced NO failures or malfunctions. Kudos for the affordability and availability of replacement batteries - no excuse to not have 1 or 2 extras ready to go. On the other hand, battery replacement is a typically prolonged and tedious affair. The chamber makes a very tight fit. The shorter the wires on your batteries, the better. Besides no windage adjustment, this is the only other negative I have to say about this gun.The weight's hefty, 6+ lbs, just like the real thing Lots of metal and well constructed. This was an attractive feature for me. Has an authentic feel of a real AK. I removed the foregrip and 1 of the picatinny mounts, put a flashlight on the other one. The sling's adequate for light use and a nice touch. Nice box, too and Mikhail's signature on the receiver's a pretty cool touch.

To clarify, for functional purposes this is a 5-star gun. It is accurate at a distance, relatively quiet, a very high rate of fire and heavy duty.So why the 4-star rating? Well, I'm obsessive-compulsive. So here is my nit-picky review:1. The sight post assembly: I had to return my first one first one because it had a pretty canted front sight post. Unfortunately, the bottom screw that holds it to the barrel was stripped so I tried to jimmy it (with a large amount of force; this is NOT fragile) and the screw snapped. Luckily Amazon has a great return policy. The replacement was still a little canted but not nearly as bad. The screw at the bottom was just as stripped but even if it wasn't, the only way to adjust the post would be to drill a new hole in the outer barrel without puncturing the more fragile inner barrel (a task I would trust very few with). In my case, the difference on the new rifle was so small that I would just end up making a wider hole and have a loose front post. So you might ask why bother with the post at all? If you can remove it, just get rid of it, buy a new front sight, and put it on the top rail. Well the entire post assembly includes the post, as well as the tip where you can attach mock silencers, etc. So when the post is removed it exposes the inner barrel which actually relies on the post to keep it level and steady. Moral of the story is: just like buying a real AK-47, you might get a canted front post.Now despite this, the gun is still very accurate. If you just forget about the sight and aim the barrel at your target, you WILL hit it. Sat on my porch and hit a small 2ft x 1.5ft sign that was a good 30-40 yards away easily even while using .12 biodegradable ammo (which theoretically are less reliable since the softer pellets tend to have gashes which would cause the BB to spin off-kilter). Even in full-auto, all my shots landed. So why whine about the post at all? Because any shooter will tell you that to make precision shots, you have to keep your eyes on the sights, and I don't like the idea of developing bad habits.2.The battery: this thing can be a pain to install the battery the first few times. You have to lay it on it's side but the wires have to be shoved into the main body of you want to put the cover back on. Now, after being badly shocked as a child for shoving wires deeper into an assembly, I'm very tentative about doing this. Ironically though, the solution to this is buying an extra battery that has longer, more flexible cables. I bought a 8.4NiMH 1600mAh 1.2V Valken stick which ended up having wires which were much easier to stow, plus it lasts longer than the one that comes stock with the gun.3. Front Grip: To put it simply, it's just crap. Very loose, so I just removed it.Ok, so that is all the problems that I have experienced with it. So why should you buy it.1. Price: I bought this on sale for $130. It is the only AEG available that has a fully metal body as well as the gearbox that was under $200. Which leads me to the next point:2. Durability: I know I said I broke the front sight post, but I am a grown man and had to use vice grips to torque it, which goes outside the realms of "Normal Wear-and-Tear". This gun is very durable and, unless you're belly flopping onto concrete, should stand up to plenty of abuse.3. The Deal: This probably seems redundant since I mentioned price, but trust me, it deserves it's own point. As mentioned, this is the only reliable AEG that is fully metal and under $200. Compare it to the G&G CM16 Raider that is going for $150-200. The Raider is an M4 that is reported as being very durable with its polymer frame and metal gearbox. But when you buy the Raider, that is all you get. You have to buy the battery and charger seperately. This can cost an extra $30 if you want to a good charger that has all the safety sensors (something I recommend buying eventually anyway). This AK is field ready right out of the box(after charging, of course). It comes standard with a battery and a basic charger. It also comes with 2 high-capacity magazines, a strap, and the aforementioned crappy foregrip. So this gun is a great deal.Now I have seen a lot of people asking about removing the orange tip. You can break it off, but I recommend using vice grips to twist it off and keep it intact as much as possible. I play in the woods, so an orange tip will ruin the best camouflage, and I understand the frustration of the safety tip. I also know that those tips are there for a reason and that people have been regretfully shot people for much less. So my solution is to keep the tip for when I'm not on the field. Once I get to a private field, I store the tip in my bag and go have some fun.Also, removing the tip does reveal threading for mock flash suppressors and silencers, but I don't have the tool to measure threading, unfortunately, so I can't tell you the exact type.
