I had a clone, AGM to be exact. I thought it would be easy to gut it and make it awesome but it wasn't totally TM compatible as it had stated. Through the process of stripping the gun discovering stripped screws, that was a major headache.
Needless to say, I sold it and got a TM of which was a joy to work on. Even though you pay more for a quality gun that you'll pretty much rebuild, the gun will last you longer perform better.
Also in regards to the bolt handle, I think its to get out of the way of the scope. My stock handle was in my way.
