Go ICS, G&P or CA
don't know... I've snapped more metal bodies than plastic ones... They break as easely. Remember that we are talking about either pot metal, magnesium
or white metal not 7075-T7 drop forged receivers. Yhe only receivers that will stand up to the test of time are the limited edition cnc machined receivers or the DTP clubs. But thta is just what i see in fixing guns year round.

replacement metal bodies...200 ish... replacement plastic bodies ... 50 ish

more metal also means more weight....

Also I've had issues with ICS guns and aftermarket parts....fitting a new mechbox in is proving to be a pain in the ass...

Whatever you decide make sure all internal components are compatible with TM aftermarket parts as all parts are based on their design.
