I've been researching the CAA King Arms CQB AEG for about an hour now and it comes in two versions - full metal and nylon polymer. The full metal version is twice as much as the nylon fiber and I'm wondering two things:
- Is double the price worth it? - Is the gun any good to begin with?
Any opinions would be much appreciated.

My mk18 started as the polymer one and it's really nice. I can't say much for the gearbox because I have a G&P in mine but externally the gun is beautiful. IThe externals looks much better than than my combat machine. The only thing that I could complain about is that they come front wired.
Also I'm still running the plastic King Arms Hopup with a g&g bucking and it shoot lasers.

Shoot a message to muskrat. He has one and can attest to the quality of the polymer one.

I'm just a little concerned about damaging the externals and internals if I stress, drop or bang it up too much but I'm not sure about dropping $250 on a gun that may not be worth it at all anyway. I'm paranoid about gun purchases. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

In most applications regarding airsoft "metal" receivers is they are made of sub-par pot metal and are generally cast. The King Arms polymer in my eyes will hold up to more abuse and will actually be more dependable. Just know that if you fall on a gun it's going to break no matter what composition it is unless it is a real steel fire arm. The internals on King Arms are average yet better than VFC. (I hate self shimming gearsets.)

Like I said I have one and originally planned to replace the receiver for a metal one but as I've used it I decided or myself there is no point at this time to do so. The coloring on the nylon fiber is a really nice black that honestly looks more realistic than the full metal king arms Block 2 I fondled a few times. Plus the Colt Trademarks are sexy.

I'd put the king arms nylon bodies on the same level as CM bodies. So take that as you please.

I have both and the King Arms is way better looking IMO. Colt trademarks help that as well.

Trades help a significant amount. I vote buy it.
