Have they talked at all about doing a para/folding stock version?

Thanks Nick, that's useful info. I've gone ahead and ordered a WE XM177 - I found a shop that offers them with the correct markings CNC machined onto it, and the lack of markings was my main remaining gripe with the WE.

Thanks for the replies folks. I'm leaning towards WE as it at least looks like I can buy parts (and even just mags!) for them. If I were to get the WE XM177, are there any immediate upgrades I should do to improve its durability/reliability?

Yeah, I have been thinking about the 733. I saw there is a replacement XM177 receiver kit for the MWS (link), and yeah it's astronomically expensive - are there other less expensive ones? I'm guessing I've no chance of adapting an AEG receiver to a GBB?

Hoping for some advice from the experienced folks here. I'm in the market for a XM177 style GBB (don't mind if it's an E1 or E2 model). Which models of these do people think of as the current best, either for performance or external quality? (And parts availability!) I'm leaning towards the WE XM177 right now, but it lacks markings and I'd really like one with "COMMANDO" or "XM177" trades. My absolute ideal would actually be a retro CAR-15 (Colt 607) without the forward assist and partial or no fence on the receiver, but it looks like only G&P makes those as GBBs and I've heard not great things about their GBBs. Cheers!

Has anyone had any experienced ordering from https://www.pts-steelshop.com to the UK?

I'm looking to pick up a GBB, and have always been a fan of the Masada for looks - has anyone had any experience with the PTS GBB Masada? The internals are apparently derived from the KWA LM4 which seem to have... mixed reviews, but then a lot of GBBs seem to get mixed reviews.
