Piston Head Seal went after about 18,000 rounds.
6) Esthetic Problems (Paint damage, cracks in body, loose parts.. physical construction related)
Cocking swivel lever extremly easy to break. -replaced with CA steel lever.
Foregrip pin falls out easily (fixed by threading it and holding it on with a screw)
7) Rounds fired between failures (think how many bags of BB's used before it failed)
4,000-ish before I had to fix the trigger contacts. Some other electrical issues (too much damned wire). Fired probably 15,000+ rounds through the gun.
8) Changes to Internals (upgrades, dates)
6.04mm Classic Army High Precision Barrel -May 10th. This was removed in September because CA tightbores suck. The gun in more accurate with the stock barrel.

9) Resale Date and Value if applicable.
Still hanging onto this thing, probably will for a long time yet to come!
10) Optional - Notes and Comments
This gun is made out of glass fiber, and is very, very solid. No flex or creak in the body. Lightweight and other than what was mentioned above very durable. The export sight (1.5x) has very poor eye relief and is hard to use with goggles. Replaced with SL8 rail, much better. Overall this is a great gun.
