Got mine too

I got mine Monday of this week. Out of the box it looked impressive but I was disappointed in the quality control on this product exactly 2 seconds after that.
The problems I ran into were:
Massive barrel wobble which required torquing down by turning the collar thingy.
The front sights were installed off center so that its points to the 11-o-clock position when looking down sights. I have yet to range it to see if that's they way it actually shoots or if it's just totally wack. Anyone know if its removable/adjustable? Mine felt pretty solid when i gave it a twist.
When field stripping: the pins do not go back in after taking them out the first time. the holes on the lower receiver did not match the upper receiver by a few mm. (which means they were forced in the first time) I used a metal file to bevel the pins to give it a bit of a taper and a screwdriver head to scrape away some metal to enlarge the opening. (POT metal is freakin soft BTW) I had to use a screwdriver head to push it back in.
I bought the RIS version. The RIS mount/front handle assembly actually wobbles just slightly left to right but it's enough that it doesn't feel sturdy.
I've only shot a few rounds at a few feet from a target indoors and I was able to cycle with duster quite well. Overall I'm happy with what I got despite the initial flaws.
