Metal M4 body with rear tabs?

[Jez_Armstrong]

You know the old plastic TM M4 bodies that had the tabs on the upper receiver that goes into the lower and the rear pin goes through and always snapped

I got a second hand body that has those but is a metal body

Who made those?

Pics for reference of when I got it vs when I finished it with trades and paint

G&p

i had an l119a1 version. 

 

[Jez_Armstrong]

This had no trades when I got it, I put the trades on 

Did G&P even have tabs? 

 

[Tackle]

Could it be an early acm ?, lack of trades plus the fact it has the lugs which were copied way back from tm & ca.

I don't think you understand my post bud

The body I purchased was blank, G&P don't sell non traded bodies. My "L119A1" trades I put on myself, the weird lines around the engraving are from the salt water etching process I'm still yet to remove 

G&P didn't have rear tabs on the uppers like the old TM and ICS uppers but again, ICS have traded bodies

Looks to me like an early JG/Golden Eagle. Might be DBoys though.

Guarder make those too.

Maybe I misunderstood bud,  but I’m pretty sure my l119a1 traded receiver was a G&p with tabs cus they chipped and broke.

Or do you mean lugs for a body pin? I see now. Duh. 

 

[Jez_Armstrong]

Yes mate those rear lugs that the rear body pin went through that always snapped 

I'm sure G&P didn't do them ??

 

[Darkmikey22]

My guarder body had those, I broke them off and used with a g&p lower. 

You are right jez, g&p never had those lugs. 

 

[Danno46]

 My G&P hasn’t got those tabs and neither did my old Classic Army 

 

[Jez_Armstrong]

And I'm sure 98% of all G&P and CA are traded

Did your guarder body come blank? 

 

[Hatchet]

They do a bunch of different ones, one of which is blank.
