Thanks for the useful comment, anyone else?
cheaply made and not very smartly designed. Idea seems like fun but whoever designed it probably never had much experience with firearms. And fabrication seems like somebody makes them in his garage. Heavy. Pot steel spot-welded together. On top of all that there was "muzzle decoration" - beat me if I know why it was there. I did some modification using welder, lathe machine and god only knows what to fix all design flaws in it. Maybe somebody somewhere was just lucky because I cannot see how this thing can shoot accurate out of the box.
1. Muzzle decoration has been removed. Really, kind of childish addition to a firearm. Muzzle break has been made up instead, nothing fancy. If you look at pictures of original CCU you may notice that stock is cut at the angle - again, silly thing, its there only for looks. Ok, I have to agree we all like firearms that are pleasing to look at, but that "angle" was cut and left with sharp edge. I actuallly cut myself about that edge.
2. Probably the most unpleasant part - how barrel assembly attached to frame. Originally it was left to clearance between rolled tube (they actually rolled sheet metal into tube and spot-welded it) and aluminium block that has barrel pressed into it. On my unit there was serious play between the two and as you can see I had to add "clamp" that would allow me actually arrest barrel assembly into frame
3. tiny littel scews holding frame-barrel assembly together. You actually have to see to understand that those screws cannot actually do what they are designed to do. Not to mention that they kept on sheering off one by one and I think there are only two on each side now.
4. Well, stock is a matter of preferrance, one could do with whatever it was but I just like folders. Original one was nothing more than flat bar bent into shape and welded to the frame.
5. Pistol frame does not seet solidly in CCU frame, the whole thing wobbles and rattles. It was never meant to sit solid, those two vital parts are hold together just by one pin.
The way unit came to me it was grouping about 20" at 50 yards. Now it is down to about 2", I think clamp that I had to weld on was major fix. Oh, I just remembered the paint job, I wish I didn't. Nuff for now. Freedom Ventures were importing those for a while and rightfully discontinued, this product has no right to exist. I am talking difference between what you see on flashy pictures and what you actually get at your door.
