I actually bought one of these 10 or so years ago, as one of my children was reaching an appropriate age. It came in a hardish case with an extra mag and a second longer barrel. We fed it tons of copper washed Fed, Olin and Aguila, never malfunctioned. It is a Hyundai not a Mercedes. But its a reliable Hyundai. Can't (maybe couldn't, I don't live there anymore) buy them in Mini-soda because of the 'Poor-folks-anint-buyin-no-guns-here' laws.

I really disliked the two safteys and the fact that they work opposite each other, and that you can't drop the mag without engaging one of them. But my child showed superior (to dad at least) intellegence by getting used to it in oh, one range session. Trigger, safteys, sights are plastic. Alloy may deform in strong sunlight, but through more than 5,000 rounds at least I would say: zero malfunctions.

Oh, think I paid $150 or so Christmas 2007ish.

Of course when I am too feeble to hold my M40 straight I have a 351c and a bunch of GoldDots waiting...
