I run an A&K M60VN... There was very poor QC on this thing.

Body screws were loose, gearbox screws were loose, poorly shimmed, the hop up unit was non-functional (had to drill the hole for the bucking, which I replaced with a piece of Bic ink reservoir tube instead of the rubber one that was stock), too many white metal pieces; the barrel retention lever broke (replaced with a metal one machined at a local machine shop), the bipod mount is currently broken (looking to replace with a real steel version if and when I find one), and the carry handle feels very weak (also looking for a real steel replacement) and finally the feed spring for the BBs was not lined up and wouldn't feed (I ended up shortening the spring and cutting a hole in the box magazine and the cover so it would line up straight)...

All in all... a decent LMG once all the bugs were ironed out... would I buy another one, or would have I bought this one knowing it would be so problematic? No!
