Does anybody have any experience with one of this? If so are they good or bad? Wanted to get a taste of sniping and found a good deal on one.

Thanks for that! I did search before but obviously I didn't see that thread

yeah, it's basically a very nice little rifle, I ran mine for 3 months before starting to upgrade so the wear on the parts is not too bad. One small thing that I would recommend getting off the bat is a hop up adjusting wheel. I know it sounds small and petty but I got one recently and it just makes life so much easier not having to remove the scope every time you want to adjust the hop up

I bought Airsoft Camman's AS02 and he only used it in one game. The cylinder was already half destroyed. It is indeed made of cheese.

I put an M4 screw in it with a spring.

I'd get the 02.

Solves some problems of the 01 design (cylinder volume to barrel ratio, 90° sears and the pin is kept in place by a screw rather than friction).

Cylinder is trash, upgrade to a steel one with welded pins.

Some small upgrades are removing the stupid safety sear, the cocking indicator (neat feature for a stock gun but it's not well designed) and the already mentioned hop adjustment wheel.

 

Other than that, it's a solid gun for the price. Mine shoots like a laser with the stock hop/barrel combo.

As @Skara says. Get the AS02, and you can now buy a one piece ares cylinder for about £40
