Good lad!

I'd suggest looking for an ambi selector set and then using the shorter one of the pair. Something like this https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/pts-bad-ambidextrous-safety-selector-aeg-black (although they're out of stock).

Narrow it down a bit, what rifle are we talking about?

The EBR uses a long shaft motor with the collar removed.

Cyma what?

VFC or maybe an Ares. Great externals, turds for gearboxes.

Hi there, This is the part you want https://www.mlemart.com/products/cyma-ak74u-aluminum-cnc-handguard-rail-system-ris-ras

@SeniorSpaz87 could help out here?

Just to answer whether the receiver design has been changed, this is a replacement receiver set for the GC16 https://www.airsoftzone.co.uk/metal-receiver-set-for-gc16-series-black-gg.html Note the little black stub at the back of the receiver.

The sling loop would normally be held in place by the two "rails" either side of the buffer tube mount (which usually forms part of the rear of the receiver). To achieve that with your gun you'd need to get rid of that massive threaded part from the buffer tube mount.

Good lord, that shit pisses me off!

Ask and so shall ye receive... https://boomarms.com/collections/marui-m1911-series/products/guarder-stainless-trigger-for-marui-m1911a1-black https://boomarms.com/collections/marui-m1911-series/products/nova-night-hawk-style-trigger-for-tokyo-marui-airsoft-m1911-gbb-pistol-series

£180 in the UK is a pretty decent price. With stock levels the way they seem to be right now, I'd buy it while you can.

Must. Have. Gustav.

All the Hi-capa triggers I've ever seen say they are also compatible with TM 1911s so I see no reason why a solid 1911 style trigger would have issues on a hi-capa. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/lct-cnc-trigger-for-tm-pistols-fm-38sv this one specifically lists as being for "Light Weight CNC Trigger Marui. M1911A1, Hi-Capa, Detonics.45, MEU,"

I'd put money on it. The blurb from the DCA site says: Which sounds like "we can't sell enough of our regular stuff and people seem to like the airsoft guns. Let's slap our name on some Chinese RIFs and see what happens".

https://playairsoft.uk/ Have a look on there, should give you some ideas.

Gopnik-tastic!

With respect to the whole power aspect, legally airsoft guns have to be below around 350 feet per second (ish) if they can fire in auto. Any gun you buy online or in store will have to comply with this, BUT if you feel that this is too powerful for your 14 year old then you will need to ask to have it downgraded before you take delivery. Thing is that airsoft inherently comes with an amount of risk and indeed pain if you get shot. If you're looking for something more akin to the £40 Cyma he had before then you'll potentially be out of luck. That said, there's no recoil and he can always get protection/padding if it's a problem.

Depends...how big is your cat?

He's not trying to arm his cat though...

Dammit! Now I HAVE to have one! Although what if I need to put 25kg of gear on it?
