Excellent review as usual Marc. I'm the guy that had three bb versions. All developed the bulged barrel and got refunds for all. I now have all three pellet versions (I like them a lot, lol) and all are faultless after VERY extensive daily use for months. I agree with everything said in the review. Every gun is spot on for accuracy but very unforgiving. It WILL show up any fault in shooting technique which is a good thing in my book. The wear on the blued gun is apparent on mine, which disappointed me when first noticed, but now I actually like it. I'm sure "real" guns show useage wear. No wear issues with my other two versions. I don't see the hammer gap as fault in any way as it has to be that way because of the valve. Maybe they couldn't get round that design issue at the price point or I think they would have. Thanks for the review Marc.
