I'll put my update to it in here for the record...
It's been a trial in patience. When I first got it, it wouldn't cycle at all, basically not getting the bolt back into battery each shot. I sent it back to Para and they took several months, phone calls and emails to get it back to me. Their customer service was some of the worst I've ever experienced, and I was about to drive to four hours Charlotte to retrieve it when they finally did get it back to me. After I finally got it back, the accuracy was horrible. It's a 5-6moa gun, no matter what I put through it from M193, M885, Federal 69gr Match, Hornady TAP, Black Hills 77gr Match, all shot with a proven ACOG and Aimpoint in addition to iron sights. It has really pissed me off... I'm eventually going to replace the barrel to it, but that has been on the back burner for some time. I'd sell it with full disclosure, but I don't want to take that much of a hit on it. Once I get a decent shooting barrel onto it, I might keep it as I REALLY want it to work for me, but I think I'd be better off with a SCAR L for compact and lightweight.
I believe you get what you pay for, and I paid a lot for this hunk of shit, so this is certainly the exception. If I were to see one on the used market and really wanted one, I wouldn't buy it until I printed my own groups and I still wouldn't pay over $1k.
To sum it up - Great concept by the original designer, horrible execution by Para. Since it consists mostly of YHM parts, I will never touch one of those again.
