I beg to differ. The externals on the CG/CYMA are WAY better than those on the TM. This, along with TM's AUG, are the only two examples in history where the plastic quality on TMs have been outdone by clones. The CG/CYMA's body is a nylon composite (Not Nylon Fibre) and has small bumps on it to increase grip on all parts of the rifle. TM's ABS Body is both creaky and brittle, and although the Hop-up (For the rifles that actually CAME with hop) was astounding, and the gearbox great for standards at that time, the body itself, to be frank, is absolute crap. I would suggest getting a CG/CYMA FAMAS over the TM anyday, simply because of more widespread V3/7 parts and because of a better body.
Also, the CYMA innards cannot be dropped in the TM. The tappet plate and tappet nozzle are attached in different ways, and the wiring is rerouted. In the CG, the nozzle is 'inside' the 'inner receiver' to form a better seal with the hop. In the TM, it comes right out. I would also then assume that both magwells and also both Hop units are different to compensate for this difference.
Anyway, that's kinda my rant on your two-phrase statement. Sorry. :P
