No one replied in the past few day, so i bought it for 5500 RS and got 300 pellets for free(Marksman Shot Pointed).
Here are the pros and cons of this AR
*Without Scope*
Pros:
Power ( Was able to punch through a Paint Can,10mm hardwood board,PVC Door and other stuffs at 60feet),Pellets were extremely flattened and some of them shattered if shot at a wall or hard surface, Although Marksman Shot pellets are hard as compared to other pellets.
Accuracy ( Shot a bottle cap 30 feet, three times in a row)
Cocking ( Smooth & almost Effortless)
Cons:
Heavy (Almost 6KG)
Recoil (Had to tight the sights after every 10-15 Shots.)
Lubing (Rifle comes almost without any lube inside the Compression Chamber)
Breech Seal ( That damn thing..... had to change it after every 100-150 shots, maybe grinding the air nozzle a bit will solve the problem)

Thanks for the images. What is that clamp doing around the middle of the barrel?

It was used to clamp the rifle strap.
