Arrived today.
Yes, I am aware they are meant to be awful, but I like to find out myself! And it was cheap (well, cheap enough to take a risk on)
The mags leak like sieve, it’s heavier than dark matter, but it seems very nice so far.
Externals seem very well made (apart from the plastic bipod clamp, that looks very delicate). I’m hoping the internals are not made of cheese or a cheese equivalent, but knowing Ares I’m expecting a Camembert/brie level of toughness.
The bolt is steel at least.
A couple of shots to test seemed good accuracy over 60 feet, but longer range will tell. I’d like to at least put a better hop and/or barrel in, but again, knowing Ares, that may be a challenge.
I’ve previously had an Ares WA2000 that I tried to do the same, which was a nightmare.
I’ll update my progress if I remember
