I've just finished building the PR.
Some observations:
Next time, check the whole kit, inspecting each piece, because then you might find the 'missing' hex key laying underneath the shroud
before buying a new set in Homebase.
: lol
The magazine that came with the Marui M1A1 is too long for the PR, so I'll have to buy another one, or just glue the mag cover in place (as I'm only having the PR for display purposes). This is best, as the mag cover doesn't fit very well anyway, often falling off with a mere tap. This may be because there's no mag fitted, but I doubt it.
The locking mechanism for the stock is poor, often not finding the holes for the 'bolt' to drop into.
The instruction images are really poor, missing certain pieces out of stages (e.g. part of the sprung GL/battery compartment cover) and not clearly showing which bolt/screw to use.
So I got to the end and had three bolts to finish the clips on the shroud, but the bolts were the wrong type, so for now I've just glued them in place. They're marked here:

I'm missing both on the rear(left in the pic) clip and one of the two on the front(right) clip.
If anyone has any I can buy, then I'd be much obliged.
I've got dozens of images I took to add to my web pages, but I now know that there are a few which show the wrong bolt, so I'll take my time and put them up on the web over the next few days.
