This was my first purchase through Bud's & that experience itself was great. I ordered this rifle due to it's versatility and upgrade potential. I inspect it thoroughly at the FFL dealer & quickly took it home to clean & lube it. I took out shooting with a group of friends & was excited to pop some rounds. Locked the clip in, loaded the chamber, then SPLAT! NOTHING! I took out what I thought may have been a defective round and tried again. SPLAT! NOTHING! At this point I felt like a maroon standing there with a brand new rifle that failed on it's first two attempts. I greased the inside up then it finally began to chew up some ammo until about the 90th round. SPLAT! NOTHING! At this point I put it away & busted out with the other toys. Once home I tore it down and gave it a good cleaning. I found that the ammo feed is where some rounds were getting stuck on the way in & perhaps that was contributing to the FTE's as well. Fast forward to a few months later when I take it to the range. It did better but I still hade over 10 FTL's & FTE's when blowing out roughly 400 rounds. I took it home & began to tear it down again when I noticed that the upper composite receiver housing was cracked! And only with 2 legit uses in a 2 year period! The upper receiver is made by Chaippa Arms & although I haven't contacted them about a possible warranty I feel really let down with this product. So much so that I'm going to convert it into a .223 and not mess with replacing the upper with a Chiappa product. You get what you pay for!!

Why buy a .22LR that LOOKS like an AR ... This IS an AR! Right out of the box, this gun blew through 200 rounds of cheap .22LR without even a hiccup. This gun could probably do so much more (being a TRUE AR lower) but "AS IS" it is a great little gun. The price is incredible for this much fun ... Stock up on ammo

First long gun from Buds, and its awesome. Very well made and accurate right out of the box.
