1) Manufacturer, Model Name
Tokyo Mauri FA-MAS F1
2) Date Obtained
March 2007
3) Initial Cost
$435
4) New or Used
Used
5) Mechanical Problems (Gearbox issues, hopup issues.. basically functional performance related)
Nothing so far.
6) Esthetic Problems (Paint damage, cracks in body, loose parts.. physical construction related)
The FA-MAS itself is creaky by default, easily fixed with some tape. The gun is completely solid though.
7) Rounds fired between failures (think how many bags of BB's used before it failed)
Close to 2,500 since I've owned it, no failures yet.
8) Changes to Internals (upgrades, dates)
Upgraded spring (120%, 330fps), Upgraded bushings
9) Resale Date and Value if applicable.
I bought it used for $450-ish. Sold for $400 November, 2007.
10) Optional - Notes and Comments
A lot of people complain about this gun being too creaky (which seems to make people think it's fragile) and about the old mechbox being unupgradable. The creaking IS NOT that bad and is easily fixed with some tape. I elemintated 90% of the creaking on mine. The gun IS durable, made out of strong ABS. The V1 mechbox is a tank, with an insane rate of fire. This gun is mildely upgraded and competes well.
