black powder said:believe me the blowback is HORRIBLE i had one and sold it ..cleaning it was also a pain in the butt ..too many parts to remove for a good cleaning. i also ruined the bottom of my scope [toasted] from the blowback ........BUT it was very accurate ...
The Canadian version fixes that. It has a little blowback but it's very managable. Additionally the only extra parts to clean are the bolt and spring. Takes about 1-2 mins and you're done.
Sabotloader is working on a project that looks like it's going to pretty much eliminate all the messyness of it.
I paid $165 for mine but I got a deal. NIB, I'd be willing to pay 275ish for it assuming it's a .50. I'd be willing to pay a lot more if it was a .45.
