I would recommend a couple brands to you such as KWA, G&P, TM,or CA. personally, i would go with G&P because it's got very high quality internals and externals. KWA is good too(lipo ready although i would not recommend using it) but IMO i don't really like the overall look of the gun(colour, trades), and TM has great performance even with stock internals. There's a ton of after market parts for it. I own a TM m4 and i've upgraded the externals to it(just click my sig) I'm currently upgrading the internals to increase the FPS but so far no problems with it. Hope this helps
You own the sexiest M4 I've ever seen, the only thing I'd go without on that setup is the sight, I've never been a fan of that one specifically for some odd reason, but it's still the sexiest M4 evar.

So I'd have to fork out the money for a TM M4 $330USD, then start upgrading it?

Like what I'm thinking is if I have to upgrade the barrel to make it tight bore on both guns (if the barrel represents all other parts) then why don't I use the ICS as the body? If you haven't noticed already, I'm a noob and don't even know all the components in a AEG.

I know there's a gear box, battery, motor, hop up system, barrel, and that's it. I know a little bit about the smaller pieces here and there that really make the gun worth it or a pain in the ass, but I don't know about receivers, lipo, etc.

Question about the TM M4 though... how's it work? Accuracy and consistency wise, feel, maintenance, wear and tear, and anything else that you can think of... I'm really interested in seeing how well it shoots stock so I don't have to get too into upgrading internals since I'm not experienced with it.
