I like those plastic mags, though, because I can just quick-reload them in the field and drop them like I don't give a damn.

Thanks for the compliments. Believe it or not, she is actually stock TM plastic receiver and front end. I haven't been able to source a metal body for her yet. Once I do, I can order the front end and make her all sexy-like. I know one of the retailers have a metal body for PSG-1 but I am not sure if that will fit the regular G3's or the MC51. Currently one of my biggest gripes about the gun is that it creaks to no end because of the plastic lower.

The only things I modified are the internals and the hand grip plus the extended barrel. The grip is made by first factory and cost 100 bucks on the forums, but usable on my MP5 as well. At that time I couldn't find any good RIS that can fit a 9.6v mini in there, and I was hesitant to run a lipo in there.

I would like to get a full stock on her, though, like the one you posted, wildcard, for the nice precision rifle look. I just put in an order for a stock end-cap that can enable a fitting of the Armalite stocks. Perhaps it is an atrocity, but I could really use an adjustable stock.

Once that arrives + an M4 stock is installed, I'll post some pictures with a better camera.
Try a Classic Army body they are very solidly built, mine was a 1st gen CA metalbody for a G3 the stock was originally a TM but after 10 yrs of usage it finally cracked and replaced with a G&G MSG90 stock. I prefer teh original as it does not creak and made with a better plastic
