Right, so what would you say is a "within reason" base? I'm feeling a G&G TR16 out.
For that matter, what about this Dboys model?
WGC warns that it has poor metal finish, yet contradictory user reviews state it's "solid" and so on. I'd much rather start with what I want to see instead of putting together parts that may be problematic, but that wouldn't be new road either. Quality is the concern.
