I think you just got really unlucky, got myself a echo1 m14 soccom 16 last year and it worked really great for the whole year shooting straight and far at 350 fps, and he got throw around , hit on wall, rock , empty propane bottle and still work. Never done any mods it was a great stock gun shooting way more accurate than most of the rifle i saw stock

And the echo1 is mostly cyma repack with a better hop up and QC , so if you wanted to avoid cyma you should not buy echo1 again for their m14 and AK.
