It was alright - heavy single stage trigger, which is pretty different from the usual double stage military triggers I'm used to. It's very light and handy, even with a full magazine. I prefer the 5.45x39 rifles to the 7.62x39 M43, though.

Four hours on SCBA air will ruin anyones day.
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error
