Classic Army guns come with a metal body. This will add significant durability to your gun compared to TM. Also, CA is licensed to use real trademarks from weapons manufacturers such as Armalite. They also have reinforced internals.

On the downside, CA has less of a selection compared to TM. If you find a gun you really like, but it's only sold by TM, then buy it. Otherwise, I would suggest Classic Army. I have never had a problem with their guns breaking.

if your not able to afford classic army you might want to consider ics, like classic army they have metal bodies, they are lightly upgraded with light resistance wiring and the new turbo3000 for a higher rate of fire... like classic army there is not as large a selection though... the only problem with ics is that they have a hard time taking upgrades(not that you'll need them...) but if you upgradablility the get the Classic Army

A couple years back Classic Army was getting alot of bad rep because thier first few models tended to have alot of problems with them. More recent models do not seem to have that problem though.

TM has a reputaion of making very reliable guns, and I have never had a problem with my TM AK Beta Spetznaz, which I have had, and still use, for 3 years now.

CA guns are most likely better cause Armalite will not put their name on crap.

I never really used a TM gun so i wouldnt know but i know that CA makes great guns. Like Freese was saying, they used to have some problems but completely turned that around. Both great guns.

I'm sure everyone has their price. And I'm not saying that CA did spend mula for the Armalite logo, but I am saying that it is a possibility. But CA are still great AEGs.

Armalite's price must be pretty high.

I met an Army sniper when I was in Iraq who used an Armalite AR-10T he bought out of his own pocket instead of the issued M24, and the only upgrades he wanted was a tactical charging handle and a couple coats of krylon paint. Armalites are that good, and they probably wouldn't sell their name unless it was going on a quality product. Luckily CA is a good product.

I think that anyone who cannot type out full words or complete sentances should check their spelling also. God knows b4 is not a word.
