Echo 1 m14 EBR review

I know you've read it before, but the weight of this gun is surprising. estimated weight of 10-13 lbs. The muzzle is orange however mine was painted Black. The sound of the bolt sounds super cool. The overall construction of this gun is nice. Out of a rating of 1-10 i give it a solid 9.
the finish of the gun out of ten would be 7.
now to the fun part.
Shooting the gun outta the box as exceptional. Comes with a Hi Cap mag
with winder.
For the price of this gun I would have to say that it was well worth the money. Its not anything close to the G&G body kit but its the looking cool factor.
Now the only thing that i had a problem with is that out of the box and test firing it roughly 50 shots the gun went berserk. just went full auto with out the trigger depressed. On futher inspection i noticed that the rear of the body was cracked where the grip mounts to the body. (Theres a special housing that covers motor. On further inspection i noticed the culprit.
(I call it the actuator) was broken. It is made of cheap plastic No matter TM makes them that way too . Replacement is 15.00 usd
overall my take on this is that its a nice gun for the Price.
take down is easy
weight is nuts im gonna look like stallone or hulk hogan at the end.
battery kinda sucks.
shooting is fun.
free work out every time I play.
Ill post pics later if i can figure it out

I have recieved one as well.
Couple peeves.
I haven't played with it at all yet, but hopefully will try to fiddle with it at the Melville CQB School this week.
Shoots approx-386 out of the box.
The grip tends to wobble but this could easily be solved by tightening screws and shimming.
Big peeve-The forward rails are too wide for anything, especially my Aimpoint.
The rear rail where I was planning on putting the pVS/1 does not have the room and will force me to get out the carbide cutter and trim it.
It also if not tightened properly will work its way off entirely!.

More to come after this weekend.
Needs foregrip....forget about a bi-pod.

dont over tighten the screw on near the echo 1 stamp (connects the grip to the main body) very poorly cast.
