That is God's way of telling you to get a CA

Jokes, wait for what you want to show up somewhere. Dont make the mistake of settling for something you think you may not like.

The only issue with G&P is that you can only fit G&P stuff properly. They make their own mechbox/receiver setup and use a different thread for the front end. That will limit your choices of modification to G&P stuff exclusively, unless you modify your threads with the right adapter (PITA and you don't have a second chance if you screw-up).

Thus the reason why I prefer KA for externals. TM compatible. Sometimes there are fitments issues with cheap china stuff (tolerences are not always good), but if you stick to KA or good quality parts, there should be little to no fitting needed.

I like my full metal CA m15a4 tactical carbine. Have heard nothing wrong with it except the hop up bucking may need replacing. Outside that it hasn't given me any problem as of yet. Full armalite trades, great looks, functionality, performance.

I had a CA body and a KA body in front of me a few days ago, I have to say the CA felt much more solid. However, the KA is what I have on my gun now.

As for the front end, I have a G&P barrel/barrel nut on my King Arms body. You are correct about the G&P box though, the gearbox I had jammed like a bitch with that body, regardless of hop up or mag type.

You probably got one of the few G&P barrel nuts that where made for TM (as an aftermarket part) VS for their own bodies/guns.

(on another point about the gbb ive been eyeing the wetti m16 gbb, anyone happen to have one???)

the WE M16 is great. dead accurate, fun to fire, and feels like the real thing. but as with all gas guns though, not as reliable as a aeg.

lol specs i might just do that you know:P so it seems that its between ca and g&p for me now. the reason i wont build one yet is that i dont have the time to diddle daddle into such projects with work right now.
