Go 2 It continues with the ongoing saga of the GE Model XM7 GBBR, a journey that has clearly tested his patience and sanity. After a lengthy hiatus attributed mostly to laziness and a crowded hobby schedule, he reveals that the rifle is finally in working order. This feat required replacing a "Frankenstein" assortment of incorrect factory parts, including a mangled bolt catch and a proprietary nozzle retainer that was far too small for the job.

The technical breakdown reveals a comedy of errors from the manufacturer, who seemingly threw in a collection of mismatched internal components. To get the rifle to cycle properly, the host had to swap out the recoil spring and rod, as the originals arrived kinked or simply the wrong length. He also discovered that his own attempt at maintenance involved accidentally using the wrong color of Loctite in the dark, leading to a bolt that looks a bit worse for wear but remains structurally sound.

Despite the hefty 500-gram bolt and surprisingly durable receiver, the verdict on value remains low. The host notes that with only a handful of these units existing in the wild, his disassembly guide is essentially a public service for five other people. While he has grown to love the rifle after seven months of mechanical struggle, he admits the astronomical price tag—enhanced by taxes, shipping, and what he describes as a general "shafting"—makes it a difficult purchase to justify for anyone not seeking a permanent engineering project.
