AGM Full Metal M16A1?
I want a full metal M16A1, but there aren't that many on the market. I know Classic Army makes one, but I dont trust their internals. I found one made by a Chinese Company named AGM, and judging by the sites I saw them at, they had very good firepower, and they were full metal, and a price of $115 isn't all that bad either... but I'm kinda curious about its quality.
It's kind've hard to believe that a full metal gun with high firepower is that cheap... even by JG standards... so does anyone know anything about this gun and its brand? |

You're putting the quality of Chinese clone's internals above CA's internals?

+1, despite the fact that CA doesn't have as good quality control as TM, it will still outshine ANY China-clone company any day of the week with a quality that cant be beat. even metal body quality is most likely going to be sub-par when comparing CA to a china company like AGM

Wait so are you saying that CA's internals are even better than such guns like JG?

SRC gen3 guns are full metal, and fully upgraded!

In most cases Classic Army internals will be better then clone internals. Every now and then someone gets a lemon. My friend has a CA m15 and an CA ak74 that both break down frequently.

For the most part, CA internals will be much better. You start with a reinforced mechbox and gears. The "problematic" parts in CA guns (when they are problematic) are the piston, piston head, tappet plate and spring guide - all cheap and easy to replace. And no China clone will surpass the quality of CA externals. From what I've seen to date, CA have some of the best, most durable metal bodies on the market, and their fiber-reinforced nylon furniture is better than most other stock guns on the market costing even more.
Personally, I put over 20 000 rounds through my CA M15A4 rifle without a hiccup. When I opened it, the stock parts showed no wear. I replaced the "problematic" parts with Systema. The Systema piston lasted all of about 250 rounds, and I had to replace it with the stock piston. The Systema tappet plate lasted a total of about 500 rounds before I replaced it with the stock CA I had removed. The gun has seen another 2500+ rounds since then without a problem. So yes, CA are MUCH better than anything that comes out of China without exeption. And remember, you CAN get good guns from companies like JG or Echo 1, but there are a lot more lemons in those brands than with CA. You're taking a much bigger chance of a lemon with AGM than with CA. And even if the AGM is a "good one", the internals and mechbox shell won't last as long as CA.
