To answer your earlier question, I too have had good results with a Model 1 kit and so have several others in my club who have assembled them. One had a problem with the sight alignment on the already assembled upper but Model 1 got it back to him within a week. They are backlogged right now like everyone but if you don't want to go first class with a RR or BM a Model 1 will work for you. Even their 1:8 SS DCM barrels shoot well.
