This process taking around 3 months in total for it to arrive to my house today.

Concept8- You know it, I put some propane in this bad boy right away. The hop up is easy to set, but somewhat touchy to get it on the perfect setting for range. Very accurate gun, I'm going to have to sight my scope in with my .36's and my bipod sometime when the weather is nice and I can see the pellets. I only tried my .25's today just to make sure the gun was functioning. The action on the gun is very smooth, and I love the look of the 10 round .308 box mag compared to the regular 5 round. Expect a review after I start playing in the spring. I believe its the only one like it in Canada with the woodland, I'm sure theres probably some other M40A1's but not his version at least. Its kind of a rare gun, pictures don't do justice to the stock either, the paint looks much better up close, the flash kinda makes it look different.
You might want to try otu other weights and brands of BBs to find the best perfomring ones for your gun. Anything made by Straight/Digicon is pretty crappy as it is as far as consistancy goes (BBs go where they want, when they want, basically making them useless in a sniper rifle........... I used Straight 0.36g and 0.30g for over a year, even as far as washing the graptie coating off them so they dont' goob up the hop up rubber with slippery stuff) and found them ulitmately to be crap, just like most airsoft snipers claim. Buy a box of 0.29g Maruzen Super Grand Masters or the new TM 0.30g Superior Grade BBs to find the true potential of your rifle. Incendentally, I have a gas KJW M700 and a super upgraded CA M24, both of them suck ass with Straight ammo past 80ft for the most part (out of 10 shots, I might have 4-6 BBs that actually make it within a foot of the target), but with 0.29g SGM, I can get pretty much every shot through a doorway at 200ft+.
