Just for the record Kid, I took a look at an ICS tappet vs. a Gaurder enhanced tappet just a few minutes ago. I tried the Gaurder in the ICS mechbox, and it's too sloppy for my liking, but I'm fussy.

The ICS tappet has an extra ridge molded onto the top for about 3 inches and this ridge keeps it from being too slopply in the ICS box, but causes it to be too tight for a Marui, G&G or other mechboxes. You can use the ICS tappet in Marui boxes, but you have to file down that ridge. I removed it with a Dremel and it slides easily now in a Marui box.

The Gaurder is a fine looking tappet, but I wouldn't feel comfortable installing it with it being as sloppy as it is in an ICS mechbox.
