I feel like GMWD stepped their game up with this one. It feels very solid. You can hit a bunch of unique angles with a deep stretch. One tip when assembling, after you put the guide rods and top cap on, don’t tighten them up much at all, during your next step you’re going to put the gas spring on, and it’s a nightmare to try to push down to fit. I wrestled with the gas spring for like 30 minutes trying to get it to fit before I realized I can just loosen up the bottom and top of the guide rods to get enough play to get the gas spring where it needs to be. Once you build the rest of it, the spring has more weight evenly distributed and it glides up and down pretty easily once fully assembled. The assembly directions don’t go a great job of explaining that.
