Know before you buy

Yes, the rifle features a quick-change spring system. This allows you to swap out the main spring to adjust your FPS for different field limits without needing to disassemble the entire gearbox.
The integrated MOSFET and optical trigger system allows you to program various firing modes, including burst and binary options, giving you more control over your rate of fire and trigger response.
While the receiver is made of a lightweight, high-strength polymer, it is reinforced with metal inserts in key stress areas. This construction balances weight reduction with the durability needed for active gameplay.
The handguard features an M-LOK rail system. This is a modular mounting interface that lets you attach grips, lights, lasers, and other accessories directly to the rail slots without needing bulky adapters.
