To be honest if it runs well, it is probably one of the best deals out there at this price point for what you get.
I have actually waited quite a while to pick one up, because i knew there would be teething issues. Every gun has teething issues, its just the way things work.
What I've been hearing and seeing at this point, which is something like the 4th revision of the NEA platform is that they run great and have most if not all the little kinks worked out.
Norinco notwithstanding, there really isn't anything else out there with sub-14.5" barrells and a freefloated rail at the 1k$ price point. Plus I still like the fact that its Canadian made.
