I paid $350.00 for mine from a local shop. I tested it out for operation, and all seemed to work fine. I did have to tighten the allen screw that secures the front sight, but that was all. The instructions leave a lot to the imagination, but I guess that is true for just about any airsoft gun.
After three hours of play, Hard Bean, three things became apparent. One, the stock loosened up. I intend to correct this by shimming the bottom pin. Two, the grip loosened up. This was corrected by tightened the nut inside the grip. Three the hop-up was not working correctly. Thanks to Rob, the guy with the P-90 on Beanland Rangers, for telling me how to correct this problem.
The Battery that came with the gun was a 9.6 V 1100 mAh mini, and after 3000 rounds it was still giving juice. The box mag is a little cumbersome do to its size. I would recommend going to a smaller box.
I had the gun chronoed at the shop where I bought it. They said it was about 350 fps. At Hard Bean it chronoed at 380 fps. I do not know which machine is off, but I am happy with the results.
Overall I am happy with the gun. Well, all except the bright orange tip. Thank you Tyler for the electrical tape.
