How Good Are E&C Externals?

[Cr0-Magnon]

I'm tempted to pick one up based on liking the overall look, but being online I can't really judge the external build quality and for a £300 RIF it doesn't have much going on internally.

I had the M16A3/M203 E&C one. I felt the externals were... Okay. But nothing special. Metal was fairly lightweight and the finish was easily scratched. 

 

I think G&P did them better if you wanted decent externals.

Yeah as I suspected, cheers.

It was worth it when the prices were £200, not £300. Go G&P/VFC

That's very true, I've seen them <£200 in Asia but then you need to add £120 postage! As you say, for a little more you can get a VFC - not sure I've seen many G&P's in The UK though?
