I would not call them design flaws. Flaws would imply they did not function, IMO. I mean, yes, we have all seen broken shrouds and the occasional bent recoil lug or recoil lug indented into stock or what have you. I could almost consider the lug a flaw, I guess. But I would not run out the door for a hunt expecting one to ruin said hunt. It really truly is a half-assed design though IMO. Geared toward shaving cost, obviously.
The plastic magazines, stocks, and trigger guards work fine and are plenty tough. Just far over priced and somewhat unsightly.
The long action only does bother me. But it isn't a flaw. The bolt is 2 piece but still functions.
The enclosed receiver does bother me, as does rings and mounting options. But they are purposefully built also, and not flaws either IMO......
