The gun is as advertised and a good value. Disappointingly, it came with a few minor scratches out of the box. Not enough to not accept the rifle.

As in most new guns out of the box, there was completely over Greased. I spent the better part of an evening cleaning the grease from the upper and lower receivers. But once I got that remedied, I went to the range the next day and put 150 yards down rang
