First off, sorry about the Necro.
Secondlly Google shows this thread with the most, if not All the Very detailed info for this. figured i'd toss my .02 cents in.
Anyhoo Picked on of these up in the US. (Wisconsinite here).
Pretty much can confirm the same issues with Ken.
However, My hop-up chamber was cast correctlly, and noticed if you used the stock cylinder, and positioned it, while closing the Gearbox (prior to cranking down the screws). it will align straight. Aftermarket Cylinders are .5mm too long and don't sit correctlly in the shell.
Also. Core Air-seal PTS Nozzles will work over the CNC'd Red Nozzles and Seal Well with many buckings. (using a Madbul Black bucking, with a Solid Plastic Nub). aside from shimming and regreasing the lower, Keeping the AGM Blue belled motor for now/Gearset. Its pulling 24 BPS on 15c Li-po Firefox Super Power 1250 mah Packs. and the Drum, once Fed. Keeps up without skipping a beat with 1.2v NIMH rechargable AA's. HOWEVER... i forsee the JST connector being a weak-point, Just like on my old Ares Stoner 96. Ill run it till the pins fail, then rewire it to bullet connectors. Oh.... and the Audio Report. Its unlike any other LMG out there. its not that Canvas tearing sound, but has a unique pitch to it.
Back off the topic of a X-mas land 42 (with the tolerances being right). Its quite simple to work on, and for those on the fence. Think of it more of a parts kit for what your getting. With a new nozzle, piston, and a field rated spring (for your area) and some TLC. It will offer quite a bit, where CA/A&K LMG's trail behind in the range department.
