I've had mine for a few months, and as an upgrade platform, it is perhaps one of the better deals you can ever get. Damn decent gearbox, great externals (for value, and it has Colt trades!) solid as a rock, and doesn't break easily since the externals aren't made of pot metal.
Metal Hop-Up unit with damn good barrels out of the box I've found. Can hop 25's fairly well for the price you pay, and on an 11.1, can be run fairly hard without breaking down. Piston is decent, and so are the gears that comes with it. Shim job ain't bad, though with a little TLC, it'll be phenomenal, and metal bushings!
In the event it does breakdown internally, then you can pick and choose your parts at will since many after market parts will just slot right into the gun without any modifications. Like a true M4, you can customize anything on it and it will just fit right in (save for maybe a few aftermarket parts, though I've probably never seen them before). Note though, it is front wired, so you may have to do a rewiring job if you want to run the battery to the back.
The only problems I've ever seen on the King Arms M4 (metal bodied versions, which are by far the best) is that the delta ring is a real hassle to take off. A good buddy of mine had to sit in the shop with a heat gun for two days (6 hours in total I think?) and melt the bastard off. So aftermarket rail systems (monolithic ones) can fit, but it'll take a while. Maybe they fixed that problem with later versions, but I haven't checked recently.
All in all, for 200-250? Get it. You won't be disappointed.
