I encountered two problems with the B.A.R. I had feeding problems because the hop up unit was not
screwed in. Apparently quite a few people had this problem but i could be fixed easily on my BAR.
Second problem is the stock wobble, you have to re tighten the two screws holding the stock from time to time.
But to reach them you need a quite long screwdriver.

You should strip down the gun and tighten every screw, there where a few quite loose on mine.

Other then that i think its a really great gun.

I think if you buy it from Fire-support they will stripe it before you take possesion and make sure everything is in order. They will also where possible, upgrade it.

Bear in mind FireSupport by all accounts do a lot of work on their ones to actually make sure they shoot when you take them out of the box....

Pete59 got his from FireSupport and it apparently was working ok until just recently.

haha, pete's BAR lasted 10 mins at Saint Lo, and that was the first time he'd used it.

I had a new hop rubber and a tightened barrel put in mine.
