Expect no real hassel. Expect to have to have allen keys on you at all times, and the trigger is very adjustable so you can probably get it the way you like it

i was under the impression the proto was a blind gun...watever...as long as you have a halo i doubt youd have any problems.  Have fun, Protos are freakin pure secks.

I agree with you. The Proto is a great gun. About two weeks ago I got to use a Proto Matrix and I liked it. I wasn't crazy over the trigger but its a great gun. He has had 0 problems with it and its small and fast. If you really like the Proto get it.

I dont care what you like, shockers are drop off kings and unefficient, and DM5's are over hyped and over priced. Go with the proto, the trigger is the same trigger as a dm4. Expect to lube the bolt, that is the only maintainence you will pretty much face, other than lubing regs.
