The AGM M4 GBBR is a 100% clone of the Western Arms M4 GBBR.
Externals are good enough, they are pot metal, but like an AEG.....what are you going to do, jump on it?
Internally it has about the same problems as the Western Arms. Out of the box it will most likely need the RA-Tech NPAS to fix the issue of fire one BB, the next rolls out of the barrel, fire the next BB and so on.
The hopup is also a bit of a hit and miss, but I haven't heard of many good things about the 5KU hopup.
The bolt carrier is about as fragile as the G&P WOC one, I heard they can crack, but I dont' know what exactly causes it.
The bolt catch, like the WA, will need to be replaced with a G&P or similar 100% steel bolt catch, as the pot metal obviously wears out very quickly.
The mags are hit and miss, I've seen 6 out of 7 good from the package, but the 7th did have a small leak.
As far as the WA design goes it's a nice cheap alternative, JG also makes a WA clone, but it does have a plastic body. Honestly, it's not really a Michigan fieldable rifle, as we have so much cold weather, they won't function much of the year, and for the money you spend making it fieldable, it's a bit of a money pit. It would definitely not be a fieldable primary, I would at the very least keep an AEG around. GBBR's are cool, but they cost a lot to get working, and keep working.

I've read they are a fun plinker, but not much of a skirmishin gun. I've been considering one as a prop gun.
