I wish I had read all these comments BEFORE I purchased this very large Paper Weight. Right out of the Box it had multiple problems that it could not have passes a firing test at the factory. OK, the feed ramp was not even finished and had to do an extensive throat job. Bolt sticks, extractor works less than one out of eight times, it jams every two or three shots. with several different mags, several different types of ammo, this gun is a LEMON. It looks great, pretty stock, but it doesn't WORK and I believe that is lets see THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF A FIREARM... It freaked me out because I almost gave it to my daughter who lives in a Big City for home protection untested by me--ALMOST,,,,thank God I did Not.
I just purchased the AO 30 M1 and I have to say I have not had one of the issues mentioned in this blog. I looooove this weopon. Super fun! I am a novice shooter and I was able to hit a cantaloupe dead center at 200 yards with the factory sights. I do not believe that you are ever going to be able to purchase a military grade weapon right off the shelf. If you are interested in a rifle that shoots 3/4 or 1/2 MOA you are going to have to build it yourself ( and you definitely are not going to find it at Big 5 ). I wish everyone had the experience that I did with this weapon. I got 2 15 round clips and my only complaint is that the ammo isn't that cheap (it's not .375 ruger expensive, but it's not 22LR cheap), and you can really run through it with this weapon!
