I've worked on many D-BOYS & CA SCARs, and you really have to screw it up pretty bad to misalign the selector gears - and the amount of pressure required to break the receiver is far more than I've ever been able to exert.

About 8 of these guns worked on so far; with 0 misaligned selector gears, and 0 broken receivers.

Is it easy to get out? After the 2nd one - it was pretty easy. Noting a knife and a flat-head screwdriver can't handle.

In terms of which I'd prefer? Well, DBOYS/CA parts are pretty much interchangeable, especially the stock assembly - which is what's most likely to break on any SCAR I've seen thus far - regardless of manufacturer. And DBOYS is the only replacement stock I've seen on the market yet - aside from STAR (which is expensive as hell).

Like Skladfin says though, it really is your choice.
