OK, well due to some scheduling "conflicts" I wasn't able to pick up the gun till last night on the way back from WI, so no range report. I still have to clean the factory oil off and tend to the gun, but here's some pics.

A few wise words from the manufacturer:



Fire Breathing Pig Sticker:



Usage and Maintenance Log:


*I thought that was a nice little touch, it has pages to log round count/who's shooting, graph pages for jotting target info etc, and a maintenance section to log malfs/repairs etc.

Users manual is a little old school, but a nice pocket book if you want something small to take to the range with a novice shooter:



The box is pretty slick, and the rifle came with one PMAG:



Iron Cross on upper and lower, check:



Also note the sling swivel mounted on the end plate, close ups coming up.

Noveske end plate allowing mounting of provided swivel(s) (x2):


The other swivel is mounted on the stock.

Staked castle nut:



Staked carrier key:
*Note* Not rust, just the oil being lit up by the flash.



Enhanced feed ramps extending into frame:



Overall I'm impressed with the rifle, it seems much more stout than my Bushmaster, I don't know if it's the heavier barrel throwing me, or what, but it "feels" more like a rifle and less like a carbine.

The jury is still out on the PMAG and the VLTOR stock, hopefully I can get it cleaned up and out to a range here soon.

Range report to follow.

Oh yeah, it also came with a ball cap, about the most useful accessory I've ever received with a gun, it's low crown and all.
