Seems like a solid AEG, especially for the money. Solid build quality, but wish it had actual wood for stock/hand guard. Although not a real AK, the sound of it being fired is entirely different than his G&G Raider which gives the impression that it is something more in line with the real steel AK (cyclic rate is also lower so even goes further to that AK type of 'feel'). In the end, all that counts is that my son is wicked happy about it.
I can't really give it any higher than 4 stars though as we just received it. However, if it holds up as well as his last G & G Raider, it will be an impressive AEG (he got roughly 100,000 +/- rounds through that before the motor housing split). If he can get that kind of use out of it, then it is 5 stars without a doubt!
