I own a Plum Crazy polymer lower and its been 100%. I really have not one complaint however I would not trust my life to it. The entire lower is polymer the FCG the takedown pins all of it. The only thing that is not polymer is the buffer tube. I have thought about taking it apart and using a PSA lower parts kit but for now it just collects dust. I paid $130 shipped plus a $15 FFL fee. Down the road I might just get a 22lr upper for it or maybe a 5.45 upper not sure.
No never had that promblem but I did notice once after cleaning that I put the front pin in the rear and vice versa. It may be possible that this happened since one is shorter than the other.
Yep its alot shorter and takes up alot less rail space. The grip part itself is pretty much the same size it just doesnt have the long peice on the front.
Ok well first let me say this report is not complete. My scope had to be fine tuned. The first target was hitting high to the left. Both targets have 40 rounds in each. I was making adjustments after each mag. All 80 rounds were from 40 yards. The second picture I was hitting high but windage was on. The last 20 shots are the ones around the red. With one that I pulled bad as I felt a rain drop. So once I got it tuned it the rain came so this report is not complete. I only fired Federal Bulk and and very happy with them. I am up to 1000 rounds down the pipe with only 1 failure to fire (which I blame on a dud ammo). Overall I love this gun its a 11 out of 10 on a fun scale. My AK has not seen any action since I bought it. My only complaint about it is its a pain in the butt to clean. I will post more pics and reports in this thread. And invite anyone to add their range trips with their 416's here. Oh and no laughing that I didnt get any in the red but I almost cut the bullseye right out LOL!
