It's a bit pricey at £418, but I do like the looks and spec of it... the usual 416/417 aesthetics, the drum rear sight, the A5 style stock, the longer barrel and the 7.62 mag all add up to a very good looking gat.

I think (don't quote me on this) the gearbox uses their microswitch'd ETU which uses a magnet on the sector gear hmmmmm.  Not sure if that's the way forward, not seen anything about the long-term reliability.  Nice externals of course, but as you say pricey.

That's an interesting set up. Reminds me of Ares with their tavor line. Can make upgrading or switching a bit more tricky.  All the same might make a nice base for a DMR build.

My Ares VZ58 has the same setup; I believe it is common across many of their models.

Huh. TaiwanGuns got a massive markup for yall. Its literally half that here. 418 quid is about $530 USD right now. I wonder if theyll sell a tan version of the stock... Could use it on my VFC 417a2...

That makes sense, degree of standardisation. For all their faults, it's a company willing to make some unicorn replicas.
