Yes.

Cool. Been severely tempted to pick one up over the years. If nothing else the FAL offerings on the airsoft market are expanding, which is nice.

It's been slated many times on here & on YouTube but pfft... I like it, would it last a match tho?

The STAR/ARES SLR? I have both and both have done thousands of BB's over the years without a glitch. I've even fitted the full auto selector to one and again it's been bombproof. The company has a bit of a bad rep but outside people looking for youtube likes they aren't that bad. No better or worse that the bulk of AEG's. I have the King Arms Para FAL and it's no better or worse than the Ares apart from you are unlikely to get an external part from King Arms if it falls off and you loose it as their support game is weak.

I have the Ares L1A1; out of the box, it has a number of issues, most of which I have fixed although some, such as the overall poor design choices and the rather weak gearbox, are just something that you have to live with.

Mine gets used regularly and, so far, has run well, which I would hope it did after all the work I have put into it.

I have found Ares to be helpful with replacement parts if they have them in stock.
