Very happy about how fast it came in the mail! I loved that I got emails about the tracking number and when it was getting to my house. I was very excited when I got it. I didn’t have any green gas, so I went to the store and got some. One of the first things I found out was that the slide wouldn’t fully return back and wouldn’t cycle properly. I shot it, and the slide stayed back, but thanks to YouTube, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t lubricated properly. So, I got the proper lubrication and lubed the internals up. I found out that the blowback unit was very dry, but now it cycles perfectly like a dream! However, something else I found while taking apart the upper was that the outer barrel was in two pieces. I was very concerned about that, so I just glued them together. But now everything works flawlessly.
Hey there! love hearing the positive feedback about the build. You're absolutely correct - you'll definitely need to keep up on proper maintenence for a custom to perform its best!
The primary reason for responding to this review is your comment about the outer barrel - that is NOT normal and we should get that fixed ASAP. We're going to shoot you an email to further discuss this issue but thats not something you should deal with if something broke. A ~$700 custom build shouldnt rely on a barrel thats glued together haha!
Looking forward to our conversation via email so we can get this resolved right away!
