Sorry, I haven't handled the WE 5.1.

But I can say that the cheap looking hammer on the TM is actually a good thing from a mechanical standpoint. The trigger components in the TM have a hard chrome finish which makes for low friction contact between trigger bits unlike the sticky pot metal typical in WA GBBs.

I note that the trigger bits in the baby WE-Capa are plated, but I don't know if it's hard chrome. I think the sear is painted black. Plenty of monkey metal in parts like the firing pin and trigger blocking safety.

A lot of upgrade parts for the TM GBB. I'm not sure they're cross compatible with the WE-Capa. I kind of expect significant fitment issues with the WE-Capa and aftermarket parts. Everything aftermarket manufactured by multiple companies who aren't cooperating and each have different interpretations on the base TM build can't be great. Who knows if all their measuring implements are NIST traceable so they agree on the length of one mm?
