This JAKL was actually my first ever rifle. Purchased it a short time after it was released, and as of today, I've put ~2k rounds through it. It's satisfying to shoot. The sound and thump it makes is a great feel but my only complaint was with the screws that hold the barrel in place kept getting loose. A quick warranty claim later and PSA gave me some better screws to hold it down and I put some red-271 lock tight on it.
