Got an APS ASR101. The gun is beautiful when you swap out the 6.08 with a tightbore and a new hopup. The gun came in pieces when i recieved it and I had to assemble it myself. I quickly realized after two weeks of trying to get the thing working, the gun was incapable of firing without the assistance of an 11.1 LiPo. This is partially due to the fact that APS is using polycarbonate bushings and has no shimming on the gears straight from the factory. Sounds really shitty but to my surprise, it keeps the gears spinning at an acceptable rate with no overshoot, meaning that my piston is in immaculate shape after firing thousands of rounds downrange. A little bit of threadlock on the blowback cover will solve the loose vibration problem. Great price for a gun and I would highly recommend this gun IF YOU DON'T MIND SPENDING THE TIME AND MONEY UPGRADING!

I recently ordered a madbull liscenced Daniel Defense MK18 ris2 and a madbull ultimate hopup. I needed to get the specialty die to thread the bugger and the hopup took a bit of shaving at the fins, so compatability with madbull, apart from the tightbore, is a little time consuming. However, well worth the time and effort despite the odds.

I have not seen anyone else with an APS so I cannot comment about 'Guges MK3's' APS. He could either of had a lemon or I could have a jem. If I had the choice to but another APS i would buy it without hesitation. Hope this helps, and sorry for commenting on a slightly necro'd post!

Cheers
