It was never an issue of "metal" receiver, but rather opaque receivers. Since replica firearm is a definition based on visual resemblance, the material has never been a determining factor. In that sense, an airsoft gun with opaque, plastic receiver is no less a replica firearm than an airsoft gun with opaque, metal receiver.
