The packaging box is nothing special, just the usual e-commerce box.
The contents of the unboxing are as shown in the picture.
Besides the main body, it comes with a bag of water beads, a military-style magazine, Sig front and rear sights, and protective goggles.
Once assembled with the magazine and stylish "small trash," the overall front and back views are as follows.

Now, from a merchant's perspective, I will evaluate the SJ MCX.
Starting with the exterior, although it doesn’t have the same finish as previous versions, the visible nylon receiver's injection molding quality has improved significantly compared to before. When compared with other nylon injection molded parts in the community, it’s definitely at the top-tier (T0) level, which was unexpected.
However, there are still marks from the material injection port cuts at the rear of the upper receiver rail.
Even the upper long rail, which usually bends easily due to shrinkage, appears very straight and smooth to the naked eye.
The finish on the zinc alloy parts is also done quite well, with very few bubbles or pitting.
The texture of the fishbone surface is similar to that of the receiver, as they are molded in the same form. However, there is a bit of excess glue on the underside, which feels a bit rough.
This time, the SJ MCX also features an HRF-style magazine well, which was unexpected. It seems like it was included when reverse-engineering a second-hand model. The original HRF magazine well was 3D printed with nylon, but here it has been injection molded.
There’s not much else to say about the other details, as this is clearly a copy of the LDT MCX, and all the bugs that LDT MCX had have been inherited here as well, with no issues.
1. Incorrect gas system details
2. The receiver parts are based on AR-style components, which differ significantly from the original
3. The upper and lower receivers are flush, unlike the stepped design of the original
4. Missing details on the tennis racket feature
LDT also got these details wrong, so there's no need for further comment; they are not major issues or bugs.
Conclusion:
This blows away Lehui products; they are not even on the same level. The SiJun MCX has some of the same bugs as LDT, but it doesn’t suffer from the looseness that LDT products do. For a price of $150-250, there’s nothing to complain about. The only minor flaw is that there are small burrs inside the hollow section of the fishbone rail.
Significant Advantages:
- It is a Virtus.
2. The overall structure is solid and tight, with excellent detailing for a toy.
3. The connection between the fishbone rail and the stock is tight and not loose, unlike the softer Luhui model.
4. I suspect it is compatible with LDT series products (like the Rock).
5. The internal structure features a dual recoil spring, and due to the stronger springs, the pulling feel is quite good.
Disadvantages:
There are no real drawbacks worth mentioning.
