Also covering it (not yet read by the index):

Tested by Ed

This is only an unboxing and first thoughts - I haven't chronoed or range-tested it yet. For less than $600 I'm very, very impressed: it's super solid with no play between upper and lower, the finish and Octagon trades look amazing, and the trigger and bolt feel really nice. On my usual Swiss Arms gas it was punchy, fast-cycling and chugged through full auto, though the Lancer can wouldn't fill the mag properly. I wish it had a folding stock and a grub screw for QD suppressors, and the charging handle is oddly plastic. If it performs like my other APFGs, this could be my new go-to XM7 and a real Toxicant killer at a third of the price - so far it's a thumbs up.

Problems he hit

Orange flash hider secured with a roll pin and glue; no grub screw for QD suppressor; very hard to remove · 20:39
Lancer green gas 171 nozzle would not fill the mag properly; Swiss Arms can filled fine · 28:50
Charging handle is plastic, which Ed found weird; long-term durability unproven · 13:57
Small scratch on receiver already showing bare metal; finish marks like the Toxicant · 33:15

Out of the box

35Mag capacity
598Price quoted

No chrono or range test in this video; FPS/joules deferred to later videos. Paid $598 incl. Octagon trades (base ~$580). Mag holds 35 rds, ~$52 each. Ran punchy on Swiss Arms 150 PSI after Lancer can failed to fill.

Caveats

  • No chrono, FPS, or range/accuracy testing performed in this video; all such data deferred to future videos.
  • Ed gave no numeric score; overall 8 is inferred from 'super positive', 'very very impressed', and 'thumbs up'.
  • Price mentions vary: $598 paid including trades, ~$580 base, and a likely slip of '587'.
  • Weak first full-auto run was traced to the Lancer gas can nozzle, not necessarily the replica or mag.
  • Toxicant/Prow comparisons are referenced but those replicas were not tested in this video.
