metal body

[jesster202]

ok i have done some shearching and found nothin so i have two questions 1. is it easy to install everthing into a new metal body. 2 what metal bodys still allow me to pull the charging handle to open the dust cover to get to the hop up

[zone 69]

G&P for Question 1. yes 2. yes

[jesster202]

so the g&p still has a working cocking handle that flips down the dust cover and allows me to see the hop up thanks

Also the dboys chinese metal bodys have that feature, they are great metal bodys for the price.

The new King Arms Metal Bodies have a bolt lock feature that it pretty cool as well . Pull back the charging handle and the bolt stays back until you hit the bolt release. I have 5 of these on the way and will be selling the other 4. Here is the link to the metal bodies. http://www.uncompany.com/pageproduct...p?prodid=11018

Little FYI, metal bodies don't make it through customs. If the link is just a reference link and not where you got it from, then ignore my comment.

I am not sure what the price will be yet. I will post prices once they arrive in Canada. The MetalTech web site is being redone as we speak and I will be selling accessories as well as bb's.

Hellfire has got and sold tons of stuff on the board in large quantities. You must not have seen or realized that. Full guns mostly.

My G&P's charging handle does not lift the dust cover for the hop-up. It has never done so since it was purchased off Ken.

Unsure if this is a defect or if G&P's charging handle just does nothing.

Given the low calibre of your inquiries, I'd reccomend you DON'T try to install a metal body if you don't already know what you're doing.

I tried it without guidance the first time and somehow managed to screw something up. It gave me problems for a month or two before I finally sent it to a gunsmith to unfuck. If you're going to try it though, have somebody who knows what they're doing with you - it's the best way to learn.

G&P
-dust cover is sprung towards the body, so you need to pry it open to access hopup
-cocking handle pulls back a fake bolt if you choose to install it (prying open cover with a fingernail and pulling cocking handle AND adjusting hopup is a bit of a pain in the ass)
-easy enough install, parts fit well
-kinda lame hopup but at least it makes a proper seal
-delta ring threads don't accomodate some real steel rail systems
-very good two piece design, you can swap uppers or access the hop/inner barrel with the removal of the front pin
-systema mechbox takes some wrestling/filing to install, but tm, g&p, kingarms all install easy
-very wide variety of interesting markings

hurricane
-working furniture (works exactly like tm)
-proper dimensions (mag location, inner barrel, mechbox all fit and align just fine)
-good hopup
-more lengthy takedown, need to disassemble the whole thing to access barrel or mechbox
-markings are not as nice as some g&p's, finish is a little glossy

guarder
-nicest velvety finish, best markings (laser and engraved are both very crisp)
-hurricane like disassembly
-working furniture (with labor)
-missed measurements all over, requires a lot of filing to install let alone get just right
-selector switch doesnt "click" without modification
-air leak issues between hopup and mechbox, i found that systema hopup unit fixes this but the original hopup is just wrong. you can also cut a custom nozzle down from a sig one on a lathe

these are the bodies i've had the most experience with. basically i'd recommend the G&P over the others, it's cheap relatively problem free and easy enough to install. get the hurricane if you absolutely need working furniture and get the guarder if you want the most beautiful gun possible and are very handy with your file.
