I have shot .22's and shotguns most of my life but this was my first AR platform. The price point has me thinking that the quality would be less, in terms of tolerances and general functionality. The upper and lower were as tight as you could get. No play whatsoever. Usually in the 700 dollar range, you wont get a forward assist, picitanny rail and a dust cover. I decided that I would give this a try. I really expected a less than stellar rifle. The only cheap thing on it might be the butt stock but this is easily rectified to something stronger. This rifle will be used and abused due to my training. I went to a Tactical Carbine class to learn the basics of this platform. the only problem I had was for a short minute, I had problems seating the mag. The instructor quickly adjusted the Mag Release and I had no further problems. In fact, I had no jams and no double feeds or ejection issues. The real kicker was that the only thing I did out of the box was put a scalped rear steel sight on it and throw a bit of lube on the bolt. I expected a cluster. Again, it performed like a champ and I qualified easily as Marksman on the US Army test only two points away from sharp shooter. Once zeroed, it goes where you point it. Sturdy build with alot of potential for additional grips, sling, sights etc. I will be shooting thousands of rounds over the next year and for an out of the box , literally through a day of several hundred rounds and little to no pre maintenance, I don't know what else you could get for 700 to match it.
