I have no problem doing the job myself. But many guys are would be a little leary to cut up an expensive part, even if they had the right tools.

Mainly because there are no gears on a real AR, so a small track has to be cut to accomodate the sun gear. The rear has to be enlarged just a hair to accept the PTW cylinder, as the rear collar is slightly larger than a real bolt carrier. A keyway needs to be cut in the rear of the receiver to hold the PTW cylinder and keep it from rotating, and the rear receiver pin mount needs to shaved down just a hair.
You can fit a real upper on a PTW with a small amount of work, but it will not fit at all without said work. Keeps it nice and legal for those countries with more strict firearms regulations than us (hard to believe, but they actually do exist).
