DBoys - $$ - decent externals with full steel models, decent stock internals (some QC issues)
CYMA - $$ - decent externals with steel models but not as nice as DBoys, more use of pot metal parts, decent stock internals (some QC issues)
JG - $$ - ok externals, decent stock internals (some QC issues)
Echo1 - $$$ - just reworked CYMAs and JGs usually, better internal QC, but not worth the price difference if you know your way around a gearbox
Cybergun - $$ - rebranded JG and CYMA AEGs
APS - $$ - Cheap quality externals, bad quality internals and QC (STAY AWAY!!!)
LCT - $$$$ - Amazing externals, decent internals, worth the money for realism
E&L - $$$$ - AMAZING EXTERNALS!!!, decent internals, the most realistic you can get to Soviet style AKs in airsoft short of gutting a deactivated AK and shoehorning a gearbox into it (don't do that though cause I saw a guy try it on Red Alliance and it didn't really work, also might be illegal)
VFC - $$$$ - Amazing externals, decent internals and more realistic design than early LCTs
Real Sword - $$$$ - Amazing externals, decent internals and the most realistic Chicom style AKs in airsoft hands down
