"Stating that it's a MWS for the DE N4 is a true statement. It can take aftermarket parts like the trigger boxes, selector switches, hop up housing and adjustments, bolt assembles etc. Do you need to upgrade all of them? No.
They have added reinforced parts that a lot of TM owner would have to upgrade like the nozzle spring and the hop up arm.
The magazines don't perform well sadly but the Guns Modify magazines work perfectly in them.
Would highly recommend for anyone's first gbbr compared to the cyma gbbr variant when it comes to parts compatibility.

"First Impressions:
Excited to get my first GBB rifle. I intend to use the rifle for basic training and drills when I don't have the time or can't get to the range and when the range doesn't allow movement or standing with a rifle. Right out of the box, although still much lighter than the real steal, it did present itself much closer to the real thing than some of my other AEGs. It also may make an appearance in a game or two once I can afford three to four more magazines.
With that said, there were a few, not-so-great things that jumped out at me right away. 1. the butt stock rattles like no other rifle I have, which is a bit annoying. Nothing some gorilla tapes on the buffer tube can't fix but still a letdown. 2. If I look at the dust cover the wrong way, it will open. I can't seem to get it to stay shut. Also, the dust cover that came with my rifle does not say 300 Blk - it only has the Noveske logo (not a bad thing in my book). 3. This is a little picky but the finish on the hand guard within the M-Lok cuts is a little rough. 4. Sadly, there is no QD point near the back of the rifle. There isn't one on the butt stock and the sling plate at the buffer tube doesn't have a QD point or any way to connect a sling - my bad for not noticing in the manufacturer's photos. 5. Being my first GBBR, I didn't know what to expect but I didn't expect the buffer spring to make so much noise. It sounds like a toy and takes away from the recoil sensation to some degree.
On the flip side, even with the aforementioned issues, I do enjoy training with this rifle. The bolt catch after the last round does it for me. I can load three BBs in one magazine run a 2X Mozambique drill, and reload with another magazine and drop the bolt (although the bolt drop isn't nearly as dramatic as the real thing). This helps when training for the real steal because it is much closer to the real thing. The trigger is somewhat similar to the real thing although it's a bit mushy. The reset is clear and relatively crisp. Unlike what someone else said in the comments, so far I'm satisfied with the magazine - no issues yet, knock on wood. Keep in mind, that the mags are much heavier than the AEG counterparts. Not as heavy as a fully loaded real 556 mag but close by a few ounces. The inner barrel is longer than the outer barrel by a few millimeters. I think only the rifles going to Great Britain have shorter inner barrels due to their local laws. Bolt catch and release function fine. Mag release functions as it should.
Overall it's a cool rifle. It's not perfect and although it's a great training aid, I do wish issues like the buffer spring noise and the dust cover lock could be rectified to make the training experience that much more real. With that said, at the price I paid for it thanks to the Epic Deal and the $25 coupon code, $256 for this rifle is nothing to complain about.

"Got it today and I love it it’s really fun to shoot but on the dust cover it did not have the 300 thing on it but so cool 9/10 do recommend for people who want to play/ try a gbbr.

"Did not come with the 300 blackout dust cover instead it just has a NOVESKE logo on it. Mine came with 3 prong metal flash hider ( which scratches easily) also sounds like a tuning fork when you shoot. The orange tip is held in with glue and a small pin ON TOP of a detent screw so removal was tricky.
The inner barrel is full length unlike what people were saying and pokes out of the outer barrel just barely (any flash hider will cover it). Feels very similar to a TM MWS but range and accuracy isn't quite as good ootb. Make sure you clean it before you run it because mine came with a bunch of dirt particles on the trigger pack and inside barrel which is typical. It came with the SOPMOD stock like in the picture and not the MOE SL style stock.

"Bought this last year around winter time. Everything was fine at first but then the mag that came with the gun started leaking. Contacted Double Eagels and Followed their instructions on how to get it the stop leaking but that didn't work. Double Eagel ended up having Evike send me a "new" gas mag.
Fast forward to this year and it's starting to become gas Blowback season and could you guess....the new mag won't hold gas. So now I have a expensive paper weight. And 2 leaky mags.
I regret my purchase don't recommend this brand.
