Okay here are some first impressions. (some of which are comparative to my CVA accura that is at least 3x the cost)
Keep in mind this is a 200$ gun (about 2-3 tanks of gas)
The plastic furniture isn't pretty BUT it's not hollow sounding and feels rock solid . No wiggle anywhere, no rattling no buzzing, rough around the edges.
Trigger is SO SO but it works
The lockup is rock solid
The parts are all machined (no MIM/cast junk) but they aren't finished to high end standards (some hard edges)
The barrel is nice! Looks better than my Accura. No chatter marks, nice reflections. The coating seems durable, very uniform and pleasing to the eye.
Cheddite primers seem to wedge in quite snug Federals have a little wiggle - CVA breach plugs are cut a little more generously. Very curious to see how they shoot.
The ram rod is about as high quality as a 5 dollar curtain rod from Walmart. (rolled thin aluminum)
So far first impressions are great! Great quality for 200 bucks, durable, looks like it'll be a good performer. I plan to use it with iron sights for a while.
Very apparent some knowledgeable people stripped away everything you don't necessarily "need" yet kept all the important stuff to make a low cost offering that still does the job.
