It would often double feed & jam! I got frustrated very fast, but I did learn a lot about the GBBR and how it ticks!
Now I have 2 custom built Prime bodied GBBR's and I wouldn't trade them for the world!
I have to say, if you want a great gun you have to be willing to spend some serious $$$$.
I hope your 09' INO M4 performs better out of the box, especially since the R&D dept worked it over from top to bottom...
My problem is I still smell a lemon...but maybe that's still leftover from my 08'!
Good luck with your purchase!

i happen to be the current owner of Kev's INO'08. indeed, it wasn't performing consistently when i first acquired it. i almost gave up on it and decided to custom build a new GBBR based on what i've seen internally on the INO.
i did manage to build another GBBR, a G&P sniper in m4 platform, and decided to look back on what exactly was the problem on the INO. all it was the bolt not sitting properly; it had a little play (say 2-3mm). the buffer can only go so far because of the buffer stop, hence the nozle doesn't fully contact the chamber/hopup section. the little play may have resulted to the nozzle not properly getting the discharged gas from the mag... which i believe to be the explanation to its inconsistency. it works like a charm now with stock everything.... also works well with a WA bolt & Ra NPAS. it does choose the type of magazine though... WA's are perfect, GHK mags not so much, Bombers i havent tried.
i will most likely utilize this INO if the HK416 upper receiver & ris do come out sometime next year (as indicated in another thread - iron airsoft video); of course hoping that the 416 upper will mesh with my lower INO.
my other project is a PRIME based magpul. it is basically complete; only lacks a PMAG style gbb magazine. i guess nobody has that yet anyways. prime magpul receiver, UBR (china clone only... due to the buffer tube), king arms CASV. i'll post some pics on both my custom builds when i get a decent camera.
