Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bought a $40 airgun, got a $40 airgun.

Some introduction: I am not a professional artist. i am amateur To a certain extent, I got what I expected. If you purchase this I ask that you inspect it carefully for shavings, metal shavings and shavings. A common theme here is the lack of post-mill cleaning or post-processing, indicating a lack of quality control. In Photo 1 you can see (circled) a huge splinter hanging from the rim. Photos 2 and 3 show that the holes were never fully drilled. The arrows point to the worst, but nothing is clear. In photo 4 you can see another piece in the hull. I changed the nozzle from 1.4mm to 2.0mm and was shocked at the condition of the 1.4mm. In photo 5 you can see the splinter INSIDE THE NEEDLE BODY! In picture 6 you can see what the effect is: it damaged the needle and pitted it. [I hope I can iron that out, but my hopes are low.] If you then look into the chamber in picture 7, you can see brass filings, which after removal can be seen in picture 8. Picture 9 is fair Another example of a poor quality spray gun. It's amazing to think of the degradation that exists simply due to the lack of a worker to clean holes and check the milling of parts. I'll be spraying later this week so stay tuned for an update. I hope some TLC gets this gun to spray appropriately. The overall design feels flimsy as there is a lot of play in the trigger. I plan on replacing the release pins with 3D printed ones, but be careful if you don't have that option. If you're looking for a professional spray gun, look elsewhere. I bought it to put some gummed paint on the frame and primer so I don't need a high quality spray. Even if you're buying this for a good spray, consider it carefully; Then with a good set of files, some precision drill bits and a steady hand you can probably get this spray pretty good unless you get parts like the 1.4mm nozzle I got.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
