Hey guys,
I recently bought an m24(i think this is the same with the Echo1 m28 sold in the United STates) and to have a better understanding of the gun, I took it apart and compared it with various Bar10 / VSs stock parts i have lying around. This is my first ever review of a gun, so please bear with me
Part 1: the externals
The gun's stock is built from plastic and is quite heave. It does have a nice feel on it, as it has that scaly design, as compared to the flat look on the VSR / Bar10 models. When apart, the butt of the stock is very heavy, due to the retractable butt pad assembly, but when put together with the outer barrel, the weight is more balanced
The outer barrel is fluted, and is constructed out of solid metal. The construction, I think is more solid than that of the bar10. It also has a nifty magwell made out of china metal as well, which is think is good enough to lock in a very cheap a$$ magazine.
The gun comes with a rail interface, to put in those scopes as well. sellers here in the Philippines did not include the bipod and the extra mag that you guys get from echo1.
Overall externals, I would say is quite good. It has a very nice heavy feel on the gun, much like the m14 aeg in weight. I put in a bushnell 4-12x40 I have lying around, and maybe i'll be painting it moss green or something to that line. I also ordered gun wraps along with my ghillie, so we'll see how it looks like wrapped and not wrapped.
