Owner comments on: EMG / CYMA Colt CAR-15 607 Lightning Series GBBR
Jaeger Precision · owner comments · mixed · 5.5/10 (inferred from stance)
“I found the performance on my CGS CAR15 lacking, also didn't run on TM spec mags. And chromed all over the place!”
Owners report mixed experiences with the EMG x Colt Historic CGS Lightning Series GBBR. While one user loved an older TM version, current owners cite gas dumping, poor out-of-the-box performance requiring spring swaps, and excessive chrome plating as significant issues.
