The WE scar's issues with "reliability" are over exagerated and often come from Idiots whom are too butthurt because they broke their toy from Poor use. The rifle is shipped unoiled to reduce Dust attraction during storage and people will often start using it before actually tending to the gun.

Also the famous stock swivel or part 66 issue is basically a NON issue as they have reinforced this part in the latest run and they now sell Part 66 for as little as 10 US on a great many websites. Also RA-Tech makes an "Upgrade" package that replaces the most commonly damaged parts with CNC Machined parts and includes the NPAS Kit which is needed to bring the rifle into safe FPS range for most fields and is avaliable from RA-Tech Directly or other retailers for as little as 130 Shipped. This kit also includes an "upgraded" hopup and bucking, as well as a replacement Part 64 which open often claimed was a point of failure on the original parts.

The Majority of the parts people have had minor issues with are both easy to purchase as well as replace one's self. And the rifle is quiet a joy to shoot, the only downside are the Magazines however having started playing back in the day when paying 40 bucks for a TM lowcap was common I don't really mind.
