Like Spearhunter said, those are mostly issues with older models. If you a paying attention to the threads these days, you will see these rifles are very reliable. They are cheap to buy and with a few bucks to upgrade a few parts such as springs and spring guides, they will perform just fine. I bought one last spring, put about $65 into it and shoot the sh###t out of it with no problems. Try one, you wont regret it.
Done! As soon as Marstar gets some more in I will probably have to jump on getting one. At this rate I'll never have the money for the DDM4V5 I want. I clearly need a higher paying job
