As much as I hate g&g, they make the most reliable entry level airsoft guns. KA is mediocre all around, nothing exceptional. G&G CM series have plastic externals but they aren't totally crappy like lancer tactical. The KA would be a much better upgrade base as the gearbox shell itself is much stronger, whereas g&g shells are garbage and crack often if the gearbox is not set up properly.
There are also KA guns that come with rails, the RIS version is decently affordable.
Don't get the Echo1 Stag, their gearbox quality is pretty bad. Their most common failure isn't something simple like a stripped piston, but a broken trigger post which requires a new gearbox shell.
Keep it between G&G and KA. Go G&G for better internals, KA for better externals.
Hope this helps.
