^ that aint gonna happen!!!! Carl, as long as these trades are not the crappy ''laser etched'' variety, i am in for one!

trades should be the same as the originals from what i can see in the top pics. the trades on my older genertion ones are nice and deep. I don't know if I like the idea on having to pay an extra $60 USD for a working charging handle though.

also if these are anything like the old ones you will need to file the back of the magwell and the indside of the lower reciver where the selector slide on the mechbox runs to remove tightness. it's not that big of a deal as long as you know to have the tools on hand so you aren't waiting to finnish the assemble.

also thanks for bringing these in Carl no one wanted to bring in the old ones and they were hard as hell to get as a result.

Closest I can find for ya.

meh, I have a new gaurder SR16 reciever on the way. the C8s were hard to get so I went for a SR16 instead. but hey, for sub $200, its no big deal.

here is a close look of the body
this is from my M4 older style metal body of the C8

You can clearly read all the trades...not the best indication of how deep they will be though, but they look identical to this previous pic

I think this new body looks amazing, but I have been thinking of buying the real C8 instead (semi-auto obviously :mad: )....haven't started the research so if it turns out I will never beble to get one then yeaha I will buy this Guarder metal body. Afterall a replica is better then nothing at all :lol:

Well I for one am in, just let me know when you want the deposit Max!

just look at my gallary for more pics of the body

Here is the new Gen M4 body. I like the finish. No problems putting on the furniture other then Part #5 did not come. I got three of these bodies in(1 M4 and 2 SR16) and none of these kits came with it either. I just took the screw off the old cocking handle. Gearbox hasnt gone in it as I am having a new one built with the new Guarder tune kit.

shagg, what parts did you end up gluing on?
did you glue part 1?
and part 2?

and how do you get the rear end of the trigger gaurd out of the TM reciever.

Yeah I glued both part 1 and 2 like it says. For the trigger guard, on one side there is a hole. Stick something in there and pull down. It is pop out.

a very frustrated Droc and a very unfinnished gun(now with new extra scratches).

I gotta say, whoever designed these metal bodies is a complete moron and should die.
instructions http://www.intrudershop.com/show_pro...?idproduct=766 dont work.
It simply wont go togher. where the motor is, is to tight to fit into the reciever, the tappet plate wont move because its to tight and the hopup is about 1/8' to far forward for the reciever to fit. Step 19 simply wont work. mechbox + hopup is to large and you cant flex the metal body enough to get it over.

BTW, magwell will need extensive modification to fit TM or star mags.

I was hoping that since its a "new gen" metal body, that some things would be worked out, but this has got to be the most troublesome time I have ever had with a gun. mechbox is a walk in the park compared to this.

You have to admit Droc once you finally do get it worked out. It would be worth it. Then you can take your SR-16 with you in your grave

Just a warning to all.
Our team got our hands on 3 new generation guarder recievers
1 SR16
1 M4
1 no trades

None have been able to install them.
In the process of installing mine, I broke my selector plate.
and my other teammate reported cracking during installing on the reciever.

We have emailed guarder in hope of them addressing these issues, but as a warning, I would recommend against buying new gen guarder recievers.

Out of curiosity (not meaning any insult here) did you install the mechbox in the upper receiver first? I have to ask because I have one of these on the way.
