The "thing" about certain bespoke guns that "looks good"
wait until you need to find some basic spares/parts/bits for it
There is the GAT gun by Echo1 and others
Looks a nice bit of fun gun...
Yeah - try and source mags for it locally and easily
It uses v3 gearbox - well not quite
it uses a bespoke COL and it wears quickly
now try and source one
Whenever you are looking at a new "unique" or "different" gun
look into mags and other bits n bobs first perhaps
Like Army Force Quick change spring v2 gearbox
the micro switch is easy to source cheaply when it burns out
but try to source its bespoke trigger & COL and selector plate
You can get it from Begadi in Germany but not in UK easily
Back to gun or ARP 9 - normal M4-ish gun but bespoke mags
so just price up any spare mags and what cost/availability etc...
before you part with your cash etc....
All I'm saying there are a number of guns people "think" they want
but often like a L85 for example
when people get these "different" guns
quite often they endup finding out this ain't as good as I thought
then you see them flogging them on say 6 months later
going back to their usual guns they end up preferring in the end
Trust me - I might have bought and own a "few"
but I've made a few not so wise purchases too
Heck buy what you like or desire
just check some stuff out first
ignore most of my snidey remarks
but do make a few investigations into your dream gun perhaps
that's all

You make some very good points as always @Sitting Duck I have a freedom fighter too thou which looks very similar to the arp 5.56
i think any gun 2nd hand is a risk, I’ve had 3. 2 were fantastic and 1 a lemon.
