This is my first-impressions unboxing of the APG MCX Spear LT 11-inch GBBR I bought from Octagon Airsoft. The finish and overall feel are better than I expected, the trigger has the clean click I loved on my APG MPX K, and the mag locks in with zero wobble. At $545, or $560 with the laser-engraved Sig trades, I think it's relatively good value next to the $750-plus I've spent on MWS equivalents. It does feel a bit front heavy and the stock has a tiny wobble, but my initial impressions are fantastic. If you're thinking about getting one, I'd say it's recommended, and I'll follow up with a full firing review.
