    Dragunfly E-"cocker"?

    Thinking about getting a dragunfly, I know that they don't actually use cocker parts and I've heard that they're hot garbage, but what actually makes them hot garbage? Also, what's a reasonable price for one that needs repairing?

    Just noticed that it sold, but I'm still curious about what makes them so bad

      For starters....

      Poor build quality, crappy grade aluminum, they use more Spyder based parts than cocker making them just slightly compatible with cockers.

      A reasonable price for one that needs to be repaired is free... No money should change hands

      I won a Dragunfly at Waynes world like 20 years ago, the aluminum was GARBAGE. Breath wrong and the threads stripped out.

        Similar story... my teammate won one and first time using it tripped and ripped the frame right off like there wasn't even threads. He gave it to me to helicoil, surprise! The body stripped when threading it for them.

          One thing about the Dragunfly that is hard to grasp until you hold one is just how much thicker and heavier the body is than any autococker you've ever held.
          The gun is needlessly, cartoonishly fat.

            Oh my goodness that bolt looks TINY in the back block. Absolute chonker of a body when you look at the size of it compared to the feedneck and the barrel

            Dragonfly? More like Pigfly... also the apparently the only time then it works, when pigs fly.
        Working...
