Barrels are ER Shaw from what I recall, that's not a bad thing, but the little things were awful. Extra cheap hand guards, thinnest most flexible charging handle I've ever seen. A gas block that looked like…. hmmm… how do I describe it? I know. Have you ever taken a block of mozzarella cheese and torn a hunk off of it? You know that odd pattern/texture the torn halves have? That's exactly what the bottom have of the gas block looked like. I guess that makes it kinda cheesy.

I've also heard tell (on the intrawebz) of their bolts breaking. True or not I couldn't say.
