Every decent company that copied Tokyo Marui's design opted for a much more durable "slide apart" design with a much more reliable single piece hop chamber.
And given the variety of things that can go wrong adapting aftermarket metal receivers to plastic guns, let alone the cheapest of aftermarket receivers, it's generally considered a much safer idea to sell the plastic gun and buy a new gun that already has a metal receiver.

Fair enough, however I've already bought the metal body so I'm already in the process of converting. My biggest concern with buying a single piece hop up is that then it wont properly seat into the mags. I was thinking of trying to epoxy the two piece hop up together so that it doesn't need the bracket on the lower receiver and will seat directly into the mag. Thoughts?
